A year ago you started a new chapter in life- well I should say that we started a new chapter. We knew it would be hard... but did we know it would be this hard?! ;) This year has brought more challenges, stress, exhaustion, and pressure than you have ever faced in your life. You have stepped up to each and every challenge, and conquered it. You have excelled in all that has been placed before you. I have watched you- and it hasn't been easy. It's not easy to see the one you love carry the load that you have, but Makayla and I have been your cheerleaders, and we will continue to do so for the next year. I am so proud of you. I am amazed at your self discipline, your sacrifice, and diligence. I know that there were other things that you would rather be doing than studying! :) I also know that you would burn that midnight oil or wake up at the crack of dawn, so that you could spend time with us, when we were awake. :) THANK YOU for your example of selflessness, love, and hard work. You have always given 100% in all that you commit to- and I admire you for this. HALF WAY THERE- I know you've got this! We've got this. ;) Congratulations and job very well done. You have learned and grown so much. Way to go Andrew.
With lots of Love,
Kristen
“Be glad there are big hurdles in life and rejoice, too, that they are higher than most people care to surmount. Be happy they are numerous. It is those hurdles that give you a chance to work your way to the front of the crowd. They are your friends. For if it were not for high hurdles, many men might be able to outrun you.”
Where is that quote from? It sounds like Gordon B. Hinkley. I like it.
