Update - sorry its been so long.

Its been awhile and y'all are about ot read why...

My Sweet 16 was everything I could’ve hoped for—turquoise and cow print themed, with a bonfire, music, good food, and so many people I love. Tristan’s mom helped plan it, which made it feel even more special. Life since then has been nonstop. I have a job now, which keeps me busy and is teaching me how to balance work, time, and responsibility. My parents said that since I have a job, I’m basically an adult now. That means I have to pay for my own driver’s ed, which definitely makes things feel more real. I’ve kept up with chores and stayed on top of everything the best I can. Tristan and I are doing really well. I love his personality, and we’ve had some deep talks about waiting for marriage, supporting each other’s dreams, and doing great things together. I pray over us every night, and he even comes to church with me sometimes. I’ve thought about selling my dirt bike and getting a Honda CBR 250 motorcycle because it’s street legal and faster. I also need to start promoting myself more as a photographer, now that I’ve got both Facebook and TikTok to help me get my work out there. It’s a lot—but I’m growing, learning, and doing my best to stay grounded through it all.
