I know more things will come to my mind, but in all this year i have felt pain, love, exhiliration, sadness, happiness, and joy.
It is amazing how fast a year can go, and although it has been a year of unthinkable things that have happened, I know that Im still the same old VAL. Just a girl who wishes she was a true blonde (so I dont have roots) had funds to helps people around her, who loves to laugh and giggle just like i was back in high school talking about the boys we liked., and helping those old grammies that come in and get their copies made and there whole job costs 5.00 at the most, but they are there for 40 mins telling me their life story....OH wait i already am doing that .one...hahaha
It is exciting to see what will happen this new year...maybe a another baby, maybe a wedding for my bro, maybe more heartache, whatever it is I say, BRING IT ON. The Lord works in mysterious ways...I guess you never know what is around the corner......your birthday corner..
