Just cause I can...now what?

Blame this on the fact that I miss everyone sooooo much or that I just realize how blessed I am and have been in my life. This is a total shout out page for everyone and anyone who has made an impact on my life. So here I go!

  • Mom, Dad, Rickey, Curtis and Denise, and Autumn- We've laughed, we've cried, we've bit (thanks alot Autumn!) We aren't a perfect family, maybe even a little dysfunctional (maybe alot)...I wouldn't have it any other way. I love you guys so much, you mean so much to me.
  • Aarin and Amanda- I miss you two sooooo much and I love ya'll more than you could ever know. You two are my sisters, I would go to the ends of the world for you. (Cause that's what Bunneez do!)
  • Kalei Morgan- What more can an Aunt say about the greatest niece in the world. You make me smile and my heart happy. You are the best bookah in the world!!!
  • Tammymama and Emerson Crew- I know I don't come around like I use to, but I know if I show up today you'd welcome me in the kitchen and say, "fix it yourself terd!" Ya'll have always been so supportive, loving, and real. Thanks for not giving up on me or forgetting me, like you could! : D
  • Aunt Waneta and Uncle Jerry, Dean and Jackie, Kylie, Nate, Debbie and Brian, Buster, Boon, and Julia!!! (a.k.a. The Rahmig crew) What can I say but I love you, I love you, I love you. My heart hurts knowing I don't get to see you but once a year and knowing I might not see ya'll this year...ok I'm actually starting to tear up. Just know that, although we are separated by many, many miles you're never far from my heart.
  • Aunt Cindy and Uncle Monty, Uncle Gaithel and Aunt Joyce, Erin and Tabitha and kids, Corey and Dawn and kids, and Travis (a.k.a. the rest of my yankee family) - I get to see you guys even less (no good), but you still mean so much to me. I love you all! Maybe ya'll should try Louisiana for a while (I'm sure you're seriously considering it!)
  • Memaw, Aunt Wanda and Uncle Gary, Denise and Jamie, Heather, Zachary, April and Bubba, Chloee, Austin, David and Aleida, Chandler, Thomas and Brandi, Bekkah, and Aiden. (a.k.a. the Smith crew) - What can I say? We've grown up together, laughed together, grieved together, eaten together, phase 10'd together and some of us have bathed together (I do believe somebody has a picture or two of that!) Ya'll have helped make me who I am today. I love ya'll.
  • Kathy Nelson- What can I say about the most AWESOME woman of God I know!!! I can only imagine the number of crowns that you have in heaven waiting on you. I love seeing the love of God all over you, the passion you have for the Lord and His Word is what draws so many to you. You and Mr. Rick and the girls will always have a special place in my heart.
  • Kathy Rowland, Ann Patterson, and Lisa Trussell- Words cannot express what you wonderful women have done in my life. You saved my life and loved me when I couldn't. You walked beside me and refused to let me quit. Lisa, bless your heart, I know you could write a book! : D Kathy you are my rock! Ann, your stubborn love and sensibility, is what I love about you. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!
  • Jessica B., Beth Ann G., Meg Mitchell, Stacey "Scriber"Scheer, and Amy Shaffner (sorry if spelling's wrong) - Don't be surprised ladies. You were the old school BSU ladies, that I admired. Maybe I didn't tell you then, but I learned so much from ya'll. I even learned (during a mission arlington trip) about submission and lifting up our brothers in Christ. I learned you can be ghetto and a southern belle at the same time (I don't know how you do it Jessica). Never ever doubt the impact that you may have in someone's life by just being who you are. Thanks for being "real" women in my life!
  • Michael Sanks - We go back, way back. Thanks for giving me my first rambo, that's a true friend. I am so proud of you, to see what you have gone through, to where you are now. I am so glad that God saved my most favorite friend and blessed him with a beautiful wife and wonderful life. I love you Michael, you're like a brother to me (just one I don't get to visit often).

Ok, when I started I didn't realize how long this was going to be (which is making me so so thankful). Sorry but I'm going to have to cut this short. So be looking for part two.

I gave it to her last night, so if you call her today (and she answers!) she should be able to give it to you.
