A little pony tail girl,Grown up to be a women...

I got to thinking last night when I was at a graduation party that I am currently two weeks away from ending my sophmore year and at the end of the summer I will be a junior. Which means in just two years I will be graduating!!! It feels like just yesterday I was at my 5th grade graduation feeling so grown up and thinking I cant wait til I turn 16, and now in the blink of an eye my sweet 16 is a little over a month away. As I had this realization I got a little bit panicy...Those years seemed to have gone by so fast! I remember when a bad day at school was someone breaking my favorite crayon. Now im surrounded my high school drama. I also remember those special times when mommy would play beauty parlor with me and she would do my make up. Now I rarely leave the house without putting on make up.

As I thought of all of this I couldnt help but think of Suds in the Bucket by Sara Evens and the lyric "A little pony tail girl grown up to be a women and now she is gone in the blink of an eye..." It hit me that in no time at all I have gone from this little pony tail girl...

To now a teenager...

I have changed so much over the years and its shocking to me how fast the time has flown by. Im doing my best to get really involved in school activities and taking a bunch of pictures and making lots of memories so when these next two years fly by it wont be so much of a shock. Cause I know my God is always there for me and through Him I can take on anything.

Welcome to the World of Blogging

After a few months of watching my dear friend Nicole blog I decided that I should finally enter the world of blogging. So here I am! Haha! Like I said I am very new at this and not 100% sure how to work everything on here so bare with me as I learn.

I figure I should explain the reasoning behind my name....you see my great grandpa Fred always called me Corky. It started as him just being unable to pronounce my name but turned into his name for me. I never once heard him call me by anything else. He was the only person to call me Corky and its something special to me that will remind me of him forever.
Jay comes from the first initial of my middle name which is Jordan. The reason I chose Jay was because for some reason my mom has called me Jay Jay as a nickname for as long as I can remember. Neither me nor my mom really understand why she does this but it is another thing that I identify as something special between me and my mom.
So I combined the two names to make Corky Jay because of those two very special people. I love and miss my great grandpa Fred very much and my mom is truely my best friend and I dont know what I would do with out her.
