Today I am grateful for..

1. these guys.

Ryan, Sharlie, and Harrison.  It is never easy leaving home for me.  But these three muffins have agreed to me living with them for awhile while I go to school.  So nice of them. They sure make me feel so welcome in their home.  This morning I woke up and in a hurry for school I grabbed my lunch and with that there was a little note that said,

"maddie, have a good day!! we love you!"

I love them. They are amazing examples to me in so many ways.

Thanks for letting me crash you're party of 3 guys!

2. these guys.

I am so grateful for my family. so grateful. I miss you guys. and love you more and more everyday.

3. These guys.

 This 8-5 schedule demands EMV at around 10:00 am, but today I held out till 2:00..... I think I will do that. afternoon naptime calls, EMV picks up. so it works. 

this schedule also demands what is inside of this box at 12:00 pm.

is this not the cutest lunch box? thanks mom : )  the boys in my class totally don't dig me, but they would if.... they didn't dig each other.

anyway.

I am just grateful today. today was a good day. It was my second day of school.

I love school.

It is not Provo, Utah.

in the sense, that my little self is not used to this kind of language, conversation, etc...

but.

I know I am supposed to be here, so pray for me.

Friday I will be doing my first haircut!! I love school, did I say that already? cause I do.

goodnight. see ya bright at early. oh wait. I don't see anyone in the morning because everyone is where they are supposed to be at 6 am. in bed.

love,

me.

My mom was such a help with me through this whole process of getting everything ready to go.  We had a lot of fun shopping for what I needed and spending time together.  Thanks mom for being there for me and for being such a big help! It meant a lot. can't wait to see you again!

HERE WE GO GIRLS

(Bay and Mom drove with me)

That bike was the problem child. It made the drive exciting

We had to.

We screamed.

THANK YOU FOR FACING YOUR FEARS!!!

Dear Yerma, you saved my life. I am sorry that you are the only gas station in what seems to be a 100 mile stretch. Maybe one day you will have friends and we won't have to squeeze our legs for so long.

so funny.

Mom found the house that we lived in when I was brought into this world. Thanks for the memory lane momma : )

It was a fun trip. (we missed you kate) Thank you for your support family. Now I start my journey here in the beautiful SAN DIEGO.  Hope to see you guys soon. I love you all.
