O the joys of Oklahoma! As you all already know we've had many large earthquakes in the past two weeks. I have to say it's really the most strange feeling. Each time I just laugh because my naive self can't believe this stuff actually happens...I've been sheltered from natural disasters in Texas! Of course right when it happens you want to call everyone in your phone and say "I was just in a earthquake!!!!!!...and we did :)
Yesterday was my birthday! I felt very special yesterday. I am blessed beyond measure by all my friends. Another reason I felt extra special yesterday was my twenty first year came to a close...my twenty first year was very tough at times and very happy at times! Here are some lessons/ things I did in my twenty first year:
1. Married the love of my life. Trey and I have been together 8 years and I have been in love with the boy ever since! He's my best friend, my calm, the answers to my prayers, his family is the family I've dreamed of, he's my perfect future, he is my everything. I adore him more than he or anyone could know and this past year my dreams came true as his wife and joining the Horkey family.
2. My relationships with my new family. Kathy has been an angel to me. I've gained a perfect mom and friend in her. Who can say they text their mother in law every day?! I'm so blessed to have that minority. Were much more alike than I knew and this year I have needed her more than she knows!
Precious Ashley- this year I gained a sister that is so sweet and wise. Ashleys positivity is an inspiration to me.
The Harps- I've gained two sisters I always wanted! This family makes me beam every time I'm around them! Sometimes I forget were family and think of them as life friends...and we will be!
3. I've learned alot about myself. I'm stronger than I thought. This past year I have overcome things I'm shocked I have! I have learned forgiveness is peace...forgiveness is for yourself; not the other person. I've learned that there's some things you can't change. The past cannot be different, no matter how much you think it should be. God gave me this life because I was strong enough to live it.
4. My fun wedding! My bachlorette party, showers, parties and wedding were some of the best times of my life. The pictures make me tear up! I grew so close to my friends and I took so much joy in watching our friends and family enjoy in those times! To my precious MeMe and Dale I couldn't be more grateful.
5. Braching out! Moving to Oklahoma City has been so great for us. A new start is exactly what I needed! We have met friends here that are great and it feels like we've known each other forever. Oklahoma city has fit us well!
Twenty one was a year to remember!! I am excited to be 22.
