As the year 2008 comes to an end, I've realized that I have change a lot. It's kinda crazy how people start to grow up... I've only lived in Herriman for almost two years, and I lived in Riverton before that for about fourteen years, and honestly, I think I've done more growing up and learning in the past two years in Herriman then the fourteen years in Riverton, due to people I know here in Herriman - People Heavenly Father has blessed me to get to know and learn from.
