Grateful today for these special people.
I love spending time with family more than most things ever, whether that's in Tennessee or Oklahoma or Mississippi or wherever family gatherings may be. And I miss my family like crazy, especially on this day...but this family that I have been adopted into while living here sure do know how to make me laugh! So thank you for making me laugh until I cried and for treating me like your own kid and for making me feel truly loved and special as 19 begins today.
