Today I'm feeling very grateful for the people in my life back at home. During the rough times here I have always had someone to comfort me, cry with & make me laugh when I didn't think I could anymore. Coming here has made me realize how blessed I am with so many people that truly care about me and would do anything for me. I love each and every single one of you greatly and would do anything to see you guys happy.
Mom: You have been there since day one. You trusted me enough to go figure out life and I will forever owe you for that. You let me take the leap of faith, believing in me every step of the way. Thank you for putting up with the videos I send you, crying for you to come get me and letting me come home. Thank you for making me feel like I'm still home as part of your life while I'm actually across the world.
Tiff: You are my adopted mother. You have let me into your family and I will forever be grateful for it. You guys have showed me so much love throughout the years that I can't even comprehend it. You've showed me what a happy, whole family looks and feels like, and now I know that it's possible. That you for dealing with my heart aches and always having an open ear to anything. You always know exactly what to say to make everything okay again.
Tab and Kev: You guys keep me laughing for sure. The random texts and FaceTimes that I get from you guys keep me sane. Thank you for being so supportive of all the decisions I've made up to this point. I'm so thankful for the bond we've shared together while growing up and the laughter you've both brought upon my life. I love you more than you could ever imagine and so proud of where you guys are going with your lives, even though I'm not there to keep you both out of trouble :)
Papi: Your sweet emails make my day. They are so short and to the point but somehow are all I need in that moment. Thank you for being my biggest fan throughout my whole life. I always know that I have you cheering for me whether it's running, soccer, school, or trying to walk away from my family in the airport after saying goodbye. Thank you for teaching me how to keep up with the boys while growing up; I am now put in the "bro" zone with everyone but I know you secretly love that. :) You're the cutest dad ever and I will forever be blessed to have you by my side through this life.
Steph Kirk: You know you're my girl! haha oh boy…. We have laughed harder together then I ever thought was possible. Thank you for being the one person I can be an absolute freak with. I love you so much for that! We are seriously perfect for each other and I'm the luckiest girl on Earth to be able to call you my girlfriend. haha Keep doing you and don't let anyone take away your weirdness! I can't wait for you to make my funeral video :)
Joe and Tanner: hahaha just thinking about you two makes me laugh. Thank you for being my only friends and accepting me even though I tried to sell my body in the windows at Vans. You guys are the funniest people I know and have seriously brought so much into perspective about life. You were always there when I had nothing to do (everyday) and let me come bug you for 5 hours of your shift. You guys saved me from myself. Love you both too much and I'm sorry Industrial is losing so much business because I'm not break dancing in the front anymore :)
The Orem Homies: You know exactly who you are! I have so much love for you guys! We took over this summer and wouldn't let anything take us down. I can't even believe how many times we played 48 and my unstoppable teammate Clayton and I kicked your butts. You guys really are the homies. I was always your older woman and that cracks me up! Thanks for your kind words and texts that you've sent me while I've been gone. Every little thing helps. Be good and stay out of trouble!!
Cole Allan: I can't even wrap my head around how you deal with me. I send you the most ridiculous videos ever and you still decide to put with me. However you do it, I am thankful for it. I would be so lonely without our FaceTimes playdates. You're one of the only people that I can talk about absolutely nothing with but still be so entertained. Thank you for happily watching the music videos I make while I'm bored and listening to my dumb stories. You've saved me.
Gabe, Tanner & Sadie: K wow I don't even know what to say about you three. I guess I can start with you boys. You are the sickest two kids I've ever met. I have never bonded with anyone like I have with you. You have seen the craziest side of me ever and love me to pieces for it and I can't thank you enough for that. We will forever be savages :) And Sadie, you're too sick. I seriously love you! I'm so glad we were able to meet and become such good friends so quickly. You really are my twin and I can't wait to come back and long board! Thanks for the adventures guys, I can't wait to move to Costa Rica with you and start our business :)
My cute family: I can't believe how spread out our family is in this world. The Borland's have taken over! I am so blessed to be in the prays of so many loving people. I love each and every one of your families and won't ever forget the fun times we've spent together. You guys are crazy and I love it!! We all mesh so well together which makes every moment 10x better. Thank you for the kind words you've sent to me while I've been trying to get through the beginning of this journey. I miss and love you all!
& to every other loving person: I'm so lucky to have so many friends that love me and care about me. You guys are one of the biggest reasons for my happiness and I just want to thank you all. I can't wait to see where each and every one of you goes in life and I'll be on the sidelines cheering my little heart out.
