Just a number? Not so much!

Well I just got back laaate last night from our camping adventure! First we headed out for 3 days for a camp out for my girls group from church! It turned out wonderful....despite the torrential rain both nights! It was such a fun, sun burned, emotional, crazy filled time! I guess the girls want to do this like 4 times a year now because we had so much fun! It actually turned out to be so jam packed that I didn't take any pictures....maybe because I didn't bring my camera....but I don't know!;)
After that trip we headed straight to my cousins for a mini camp out there and started it with a nice little 14 mile bike ride along the Fox river! Glorious! I have determined that I will LIVE outside someday....lol!
Anyways....onto the actual topic of the post.....21.
Yep. That is how old I will be in a little over an hour. I reallllly don't know what I think about it all! It is strangely weird, scary yet thrilling at the same time! I know it is a new season in my life that I am no longer a child whatsoever....according to the state that is;) But according to me.....I will always be a kid! I want to always see the best in life, to have fun in whatever situation, and to have not a care in the world! I feel like I grew up pretty quick being the oldest of 7, starting my own business at 17, and graduating early....but being an adult is pretty much just like it was for me being a child yet with all the capabilities to be able to reach the dreams that I had back then!! It's amazing!! I am so excited for this next phase it feels like a huge orchestra behind a curtain about the break open! YEAH!
I love you all!! Thank you for allll of your encouragement in watching me grow up the past years! :)
Here's to being a kid forever!

Sarah-

On another notes, not so happy. I need you to stop by my page and read Vivianne's story. We need as many prayers for this little girl as possible. I sent you dad a message also. Please pass the story out to all your prayer groups, we need everyone's help, we need our prayers heard.

PLEASE take the time.
-Thank you and God Bless
