Life is precious.

Okay, it's been waaaay too long since I've updated this blog. I miss writing in it. Things are going great. School's going well...exams are next week though, and I am very nervous about those. I'm looking forward very much to Christmas. I love the whole Christmas season, and the Christmas magic that I don't think will ever leave me! Oh, one other "big" thing. My life has been changed - all by one little girl named Ellie. Ellie is 8 and has a rare cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma. A few months ago, Holly and I made a twitter for Ellie and we have now over 3,000 followers and many celebrities have tweeted about Ellie including Melissa Joan Hart, Spencer Pratt, Deepak Chopra, Jordin Sparks, Mark Ballas, and Khloe Kardashian. Ellie has taught me to love life. Things that I used to think were so awful about my life, things that I didn't like about myself, now seem so insigficant. Who am I to complain about one pimple or about my hair when Ellie is fighting for her life? There are so many things out of our control, and our very life is one of those. But Ellie and her family have let God know that he is in control, and they are the strongest family that I have ever seen. I know that Ellie will beat this. I need her to beat this, and her family and twin sister need her. Follow @LiftUpEllie on twitter if you aren't already. Much love to you all.
