2 Days and some tears

Today is the first day that I have actually shed any tears. My little cousin Skilynn had her 6th birthday party and I had to say goodbye to a lot of my family. I love them so much. I can't really put in to words how much they mean to me so I will just post some pictures.

This is monkey. He is Courtney's son. Isn't he the cutest thing ever?

This is my cousin Brianna. I love her so much. Brianna, if you read this I just want you to know that I am more proud of you than you will ever know. You have had one of the worst hands dealt to you that I have ever seen and you have still come out on top. You have such a good head on your shoulders and I love you so much!

This is my cousin Courtney. She is so special to me. I love her so much. She is so crazy and I know that I will always have a good time when she is around. 

This is Amie. We were like sisters when we were little. We were literally never apart. People used to ask our parents if we were twins. No, were not twins. I love her so much. She is such a good mother and she has the cutest son Jordan. 

This is the birthday girl Skilynn. She is very special to me. Mostly because she loves me. This little girl is a tyrant. She is mean to almost everybody. Her and I have a special connection and I love this little girl so much. She has never been mean to me a day in her life. If she sees other people she is kind of ill concerned, but when she sees me she runs and jumps in to my arms. Happy Birthday Skilynn. I love you so much, and don't forget you promised to be nice to my momma while I am gone. 

Also, today was my last sunday in Fort Worth 3rd ward. I will miss my home ward and all of the people in it. I will be honest when I say that I personally think it is the best ward ever. I already said goodbye to Sophia. Which was probably the hardest goodbye at church but these two girls are also very special to me. 

This is Ave. She is the cutest little girl I have ever met. She is sooo adorable. You can't help but smile whenever she is around.

This is Kimmy Kim! Okay... her name is just Kim, but she is so funny. I love this girl and I know that no matter what she will make me laugh. 

We had dinner with my Lala and Grandpa tonight. It is their 49th anniversary. 

This picture just melts my heart. I am so grateful for the example that they have set for me of what true love really is. I know that they have had their hard times and they have definitely had some good times. I only hope that I can find the kind of love that has carried me this far. Their love is the perfect example of the kind of forever love that we are all looking for. 

Well that is enough for one night. Tomorrow is my last day in Fort Worth. Words can not express how excited I am to start this new chapter of my life.
