hello world

never take one day for granted.
that's my advice from what limited knowledge and experience i have.

so these past couple days have been a little rough.
some of you may already know about my sister and thats why this past weekend wasn't as fun as i imagined with my parents being out of town and all.
don't get me wrong, i LOVED watching the boys vault at state. good job chandler willman for going 15 feet, jake jarvis for going 15'3, and josh richards for making 14'9!!
yes, that is the new 3 man record. awesome.

but unfortunately friday was when the bad news arrived.
a lot of you probably have heard but here it goes...
on Friday we found out my amazing, beautiful, wonderful, fantastic sister who i love more than life has a brain tumor. a large one too. now i won't go into detail because there is a whole blog dedicated to that if you would like to know the nitty gritty.
but its been pretty hard to cope with.
it kinda just came like a ton of bricks. except i feel like it hasn't fully hit me yet. everyday it hits me more and more... its hard.

anyway, i don't want to be depressing but i'm just not myself.
sorry...
i never ever thought anything like this could ever happen to my sister and my family.
i guess that life and anything can happen...
so i will just try to stay happy and positive!
it will all work out. i know it :)

anywhoo!
i love you all!

oh and p.s. thank you everyone who has been praying for my sister. i know you're prayers are being heard.
