Too blessed to be stessed...

So November has already gotten the best of me... this month seems never ending. Between practices, school, tutoring, and weights there is little time for me to breath and take it ALL in. The weather has also put a huge damper on my mood allowing me to feel even MORE sorry for myself. But I wake up every morning around six and I'm ready to start my day. I don't really sleep as much as I should but I've become adapt to this. I took my first "W" in a class, lots of girls on my team put a huge negative ring on this "W" but to me... "W" stands for win, so I'm taking it and moving forward! Krista Miller came to visit me this weekend and it was just what I needed! Don't get me wrong I love having the boys all come up to visit but I really needed one of my girls to talk to. We chilled most of the weekend and went to portland for some shopping! I can not wait to be home for xmas so I can see all my friends! We also got our competition shoes and they are bitchin! I honestly can't believe how lucky I am to be here! Besides all of this the ducks are still #1. 

I got to skype with the parentals last night and I loved seeing their faces! I talked to Krista about it when she was here and we decided just how cool my mom & pops are. I look at parents and their relationships their kids and then I look at mine and wonder..." How did I get so lucky?" I am a product of my mother. She is the most fun loving woman in the whole world. I have never met someone like her, she's always up for "the more the merrier." She's always supported me in everything I do and I would be SO lost without her. She will NEVER know how much I look up to her. Looking back at the days in gymnastics she was always there sitting and watching, she never once complained about having to take me to practice and she was at every meet. I give her a hard time because she's MY MOM, but if it were anyone else I would be the first one to back her up. Me and my dad are the best of friends, we have the same sense of humor and we are both weird in our own ways. My dad never says no to me, and I love that about him. He's the hardest working man I know and he always makes me smile. I am so blessed with the family I have been given. When I step back and look at the big picture I realize that one tough class is little to stress about when I have SO much to be thankful for.
