So today was the second day that you girls got to buy both breakfast and lunch at school. You have all been bugging me about wanting to buy your lunch everyday. Believe me - it was a pretty big load off of me to let you guys buy your lunches. It takes a good bit of ingenuity to come up different lunch ideas so you wouldn't get bored. LOL! I guess it's also more cool for you to buy it than to bring it - oh the intricate workings of the adolescent mind. You got home just a few minutes ago and of you're hyped up and chattering like crazy. It was your picture day today and you all looked so cute. Deanna had to dress up like she was going to church, Summer had to have her hair wavy, and Tori of course couldn't have cared less what she looked like.
It's so funny how you're all so different in the way you think. You're such powerful individuals and that's an awesome thing. To know that you're like no one else in the world. I hope each of you girls will realize how wonderful it is to be unique. I know there will come a point in time when you feel like to be accepted you will have to be like everyone else. The truth is that there will be people that will want you to be a certain way, and those people will not be able to appreciate you for who you really are. Those are the people that aren't worth your time. You need to surround yourselves with people who respect you for standing up for what you believe in, who will be cool with the fact that you are your own person. Those types of people are the ones that will stand by you even if you don't always agree.
I know you girls are going to make some mistakes; you'll make some bad choices, but that's life. That's all a part of growing up - trust me...we've all been there. : ) You're going to be in situations where you don't feel like you can take anyone else's experiences for it - you're going to have to make some choices and they may not always be the best choices. But don't worry - everything will work out. Life has a way of coming back around again. You girls are all so very bright - I know you're going to be just fine. Just remember - I believe in you all so much and I know you're going to make a huge difference in the world.
