It's Graduation Day...

   That's right! I'm 19 years old, and I finally have my GED. Not to toot my own horn, but I am so proud of myself! This month and the next will have been the buisiest in my life. I finished my GED testing on the 8th, got the results on the 10th, send out wedding invitations on the 18th, graduating today, tallent show on the 2nd of June, and wedding on the 23rd.

   But, enough about me, This is where I get to thank those people around me who have encouraged me, who pushed me to do better, and who helped me along the way. Thank you Sam, for being my inspiration, my guidence, and the boot in my ass when I needed it. You helped me more than you will ever know.

   Thank you to my wonderful in-laws, (even you, dale) for pushing me as hard as you did, for handing me my purse and telling me that I'd be late for class, and for getting on my case when I didn't go at all.

   And thank you Dad, you always helped me see that I was meant for better things, that life had meaning, and that one of it's biggest meanings is to enjoy the life you have while you still have it, and to live every day like there was a new adventure to be had.

   So, I leave behind highschool, the adventure that, given my unwillingness at times, might never have happened. It's time to take up a new adventure. Whatever that adventure might be, I don't know, but I hope I won't take it for granted.
