it's days like this...

that make me remember why i am so blessed.

my family is the most gracious of hosts, 

givers of love, 

acceptors of the lost and lonely,

lovers of laughter,

silent admirers of the happiest home.

why do i get to call this family mine?

i don't know why and don't want to question it because

it's mine. who could be so lucky?

me. 

dear God, 

thanks for the best life.  i couldn't be happier.  

it's awesome. the end. 

thanks mere

and i get to call this place HOME.

wow

thats all i can say

beautiful fall day

be yourself. don't die a copy. 

love the person who saw you when you were invisible.

it is okay to cry. 

live the life you have imagined. 

be honest with yourself

value who you are right now. 

don't focus on negative thoughts

don't delay your fears.

believe in something higher than yourself

hug yourself a bunch

don't compare yourself to others.

I want to thank everyone who came to my match in San Diego yesterday,

I needed it but I did. 

It was a Crenshaw Clan family reunion and not only did it make me 

extremely happy but my parents as well.  I love every single

one of my family members they are who made me

who I am today.  Thank you.

And all my dear friends who drove out, I miss you all terribly! 

It makes me so excited for Decemeber when

 I can spend more time with you guys! 

Thank you for the support you guys are a huge part of why 

I get up each day and do what I do!
