P.S. Incase you didn't understand the title... Father And Mother I Love You : FAMILY.

YAY I'm caught up!

Day 10: A song you listen to when you are happy, sad, bored, hyped, mad.

This confuses me.  Am I supposed to say one song that I listen to when I am feeling all those different things or five different songs that I listen to.  Hmm...
I love the song. Pony (It's OK) by Erin McCarley.  I listen to it when I am happy, sad, bored, and yes mad... not so much hyped though.  A song I listen to when I'm hyped would be... maybe So Beautiful by Superchick.

Well anyways, I hope you have a great week!

Love Always

I know I'm bad at this... don't make fun.

This is day 7 continued.  I bet you have stopped reading right now, and I have talking (typing?) to nothing, but if you are reading, I appreciate you sticking with my horrible blogging abilities. Thank you.

So, on with someone/something that has a HUGE impact on me... I already mentioned my sisters. Emily and Hannah.  They mean the world to me and right now, Emily is in Rome (possibly Greece though...) for college and I think you should read her blog.   Another person that has a huge impact on me is my coach April.  The only picture I have of us is from forever ago and it's blehh. But I have known her for a long time and she has been my coach basically since I started gymnastics. I refer to her as my second mom; she refers to me as half her kid. 

Another someone that has made a big impact on my life is this pretty lady

A while ago I had this problem with sticking up for myself.  This same girl would always get to me and say nasty things to me that would get me so upset, and I did nothing about it.  But Lindsey was always there to stand up for me and she taught me how not take crap from people.  Honestly... one of the most important things I've learned. 

I guess I haven't realized how big of an impact gymnastics has made on my life.  I've been doing gymnastics since I was 8, and it has always been a part of me.  Gymnastics has taught me so many life lessons like discipline,confidence, and also courage.  My whole life isn't centered around gymnastics.  I sort of have a life, but that doesn't mean it isn't a big part of it. 

A couple other someones/somethings that have made an impact on me are my mom and dad, my other brother and sister, music, and my cousins Josh and Stephie. 

Love Always
