Chapter One

Hmmm. Um. Hi?

Well... I guess some things never change. I still have no idea how to start these blogs... Blogs? Is that really even the right word for what it is I do here? Diary? Word vomit? Story telling? Snapshots? Ahh yes. There it is. The original reason I even started this blog in the first place. To try and capture the little seemingly meaningless moments (snapshots) in our day to day routines that essentially, upon reminiscing, make up the brightest moments of our life (snapshots)... Hoping to remind ourselves that life is, in fact, ok sometimes.

I'm not even sure what I want to write about this time around. Maybe about all the changes that have taken place during the last two years. Or maybe even the changes that have occurred in just the last few months. I'm really not even sure where to start though. I guess maybe with the transplant? Or maybe the trip to South Dakota? Or maybe the summer leading up to the trip to South Dakota? Or maybe I should discuss the fact that I managed to graduate high school? Or maybe that I'm attempting to regular pioneer? Or maybe that I'm dating? I don't know. So much to talk about. So many things to be said, that probably shouldn't ever be said... But don't worry that's what I'm here for.

Either way, the fact of the matter is, I am almost 19 years old. I am done with high school. My Mom is healthy. I am regular pioneering. I am dating an amazing brother. I have my family and I have my friends. This system is winding down and changing like never before. I'm starting an entirely new chapter of my story and these are going to be some of the most exciting times of my life. It only makes sense for me to write them down and share them with you.

Yet the the changes that come with these "exciting times" can only seem daunting and overwhelming. Someone recently told me to "Enjoy the Ride." Another someone told me I should be keeping a diary of this "exciting" time in my life, and I should share my stories with others.

So here I am. Working towards the overall goal of enjoying, appreciating, and finding the silver lining in all the changes and obstacles that come with every day. Stay tuned. Stay happy. And as always.... Don't forget to be awesome.
