Uhh... I've earned my bragging rights.

 I truly am so blessed and each day is a new blessing. Sure I have my hard days, where I just want to sleep it all away, but most days I am just really happy and I know exactly how lucky I am.

 

I think we all forget to appreciate our lives and the things we have.

I have an amazing family. I really was blessed into a caring family, I have always had both my mom and dad. They have always been here for me. They have always taken care of me. They have always helped me through everything. I love them so much. I have a great little sister who is so caring and loving. I really have no idea why or how she is so sweet. She is also so beautiful.

I have an awesome husband who is by my side all the time. He takes care of me. I take care of him. He is truly my other half. For my all my downs he is my ups. For all my tears he is twice my laughs. I am so lucky I got to meet him. I am so happily married at 19 years old. I really believe in our marriage and I know we will make it through it all.

I have my best friend who has been my best friend for the last seven years. She is so supportive of me. She has always had by back, and even though she lives so far from me, she has always been a phone call away.

 

I graduated high school over a year ago from a great magnet school, which gave me some college credits in the major that I want.

I have a job that I have been at for two years that has been a huge experience. This job may not be what I want to do forever, but it is such a great start to my future. I have also been blessed by making more money than many people my age right out of high school! I have learned so much from working here.

 

I have my own place. I have had my own place since I was 18. No my parents didn't kick me out. They actually tried to get me to stay. But I wanted to be on my own. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. And I did it! Now I am in my second apartment with another year long lease! I am proud of myself.

 

I just traded in my paid off grand prix that I didn't feel was reliable in for a new car that I am able to make comfortable payments for. A car that I really really like. I am blessed to be able to do that! My husband also has a car and a street bike. He loves his street bike. I just love that we have the ability to purchase the things that really make us happy.

I am healthy. We are healthy.

 

I know... it doesn't seem like a lot. But I'm not even 20 yet. I am proud of myself and who I am now. I can't wait to see where I am in five years from now! Where we are! We have so much going for us.

I am blessed for my life. I am blessed that I get to wake up to love and a home every day.

 

This is my ONLY life. My one life. I will spend it doing the things I enjoy. Buying the things I want. Going to new places. I want to spend my life doing things that matter. I want to spend my life happy. I don't want to have to just get by. Life is too short for that.  

 

It doesn't seem like much, but to me it is all a great big accomplishment. To that, I brag.
