"Hi. I'm not even sure if you'll get this but hey-I figured that I'd give it a try. I don't wanna say that I think I'm actually calling you, I realize you're gone and you can't pick up the phone. I'm not even sure where I'm calling, if there is heaven or if you're just part of the sky. I'd like to believe that heaven is real, that someday I'll see you there again. I'd give anything to have that peace of mind, but for now I'll just hold out hope. Anyways if heaven is a place where you are, maybe somehow you'll hear this.

I miss you. It's weird that you aren't here anymore. You've missed so much, so many happy things and sad things; a lot of in between things too. There's so many things you're going to miss too, my college graduation and my wedding day.

I find myself being happy even though you're gone, and sometimes I feel a little guilty for it. Guilty because you didn't get to see this day. I wonder what you'd do with this day if you had been here for it. I'd like to think I'm living life for you, in a way that would make you proud of me. Maybe I am and maybe I'm not, but either way I'm trying. I' think you're proud of me just for that. I know I'm proud of you, how valiantly you lived, and the effect you had on all those around you. We all miss you. The world misses you and although the days are bit more gray without you I know when the sun shines you're behind it. I feel your presence in the smallest things everyday. I guess I just wanted to tell you that I miss you, and I know that somehow you're watching over me. So maybe I'll see you someday, if not I love you. I miss you. Bye"

Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
