Shout out!

       I'd like to give a quick shout out to a few people.  First, Mom and Dad.  Y'all are great! I'm so lucky to have parents like you that know what to say when I call you crying, know how to boost me up when I feel low and believe in me even when I don't believe in myself.  To, Amy and Dust - you're the best!  You're the best sister and brother I could ever ask for.  I can't wait to see you again and have some more crazy times together.  Mac, thanks for being the angel I rely on to get me through the day. I love you, Boo.  Grandma and Grandpa, I can't ever tell you how much you mean to me.  You're the constant source of optimism and encouragement.  Thanks for supporting me through my adventures whether they are big or small.  Woogie and Grandma Grant, (if you're reading this) Thanks for teaching me to laugh at myself.  Woogie, you're my favorite roommate I've ever had and, Grandma, I wish you could be out here seeing all the sites with me.  I think of you every time I go somewhere.  To my aunts, uncles and cousins - Thanks for loving me the way I am.  You make our family so fun.  I always brag that I have the best family ever!  Annie, you're the best friend I have ever had.  I wouldn't make it without you.  Thanks for being the shoulder to cry on, the friend ready to fight my battles with me.  To all my other friends, thanks for being there and making me feel special.  Friends are the chocolate chips in the cookies of life and what's a cookie without chocolate chips? :)
      Thanks for always telling me how proud you are of me.  It reminds to keep working hard so I don't let you down.  I love you all very much and I can't wait to see you again soon.  April will be here before we know it :)
