One year since my friend Kevin died. I cannot believe it's already been a year. I miss him a lot. He always talked about taking a year off from school and going around the world to travel; I feel like I'm not only living my dream right now, but his as well. It's crazy how much one person can impact your life and Kevin definitely did that. He taught me to be free, live life and always have a smile on my face. I've been trying to do all of that while I'm here. :) Please keep him in your thoughts, hearts and prayers today. He meant a lot to not only me, but every person who's life he was apart of.
Only The Good Die Young, May Angels Lead You In. Love you Kev! <3<3<3

On a lighter note, I've been thinking a lot today. When something as tragic as losing a friend becomes a part of your life, it makes you think about how lucky your life truly is. I know I always complain that I'm not a lucky person and luck is never in my favor. Well, truly when I look at my life, I couldn't ask for a better family, group of friends or history. In many ways I have been lucky and really do appreciate each and every person who has come into and impacted my life. Here's a song to represent how I'm feeling today and how much I really do love each and everyone of you.

Blessed. -Martina McBride
"I have been blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones
That love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed..."

Love you all.
