I Need Your Help

Hey everyone! I'm so excited because I'm trying to remodel my room. All I have to do is hang the curtains, paint the walls, and put up the artwork. Well, if I'm being honest, all I have to do is find someone to help accomplish these tasks. I've been going back and forth on what I want to do about my bed. One picture? Two? Four? I finally decided how I want to decorate above my headboard....
A wall quote! Awesome, right? No. I can't decide which quote to choose. It's not only something that I'll read multiple times a day, but it will be in the background of my videos. I want a fun, cute, inspirational quote. I've narrowed down the list and need your help to pick the winner. Please read the following quotes and comment with your favorite! (You don't have to have a blogspot to be able to comment. Anyone can!)

Quote #1: "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... it's about learning to dance in the rain"
I like this one because it's not only inspirational and cute, but I'm someone who likes to have everything planned out. When things don't go by the book or my schedule, I freak. I need to learn to "dance in the rain" or just live in the moment. This quote will definitely remind me to do just that.

Quote #2: "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
This is a really common quote, but I think every time I look at it, it will remind me to be a good person and.. to be the change I wish to see in the world! I also think it would look really good in a pretty font over the bed and in the back of my videos.

Quote #3: "Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself."
When I first read this quote it hit me hard. With out getting too into detail, a lot of people have misconstrued thoughts about me. It used to really bother me and I felt the need to defend my every action, every word, every move. I recently learned that I know who I am, and the people I love know who I am. I don't have to constantly prove myself to others. This quote really symbolizes that and I think it could help some other people who are going through the same thing if they catch a glimpse of it in my videos. Everybody is judged by one person or another, but you know who you really are inside.

Quote #4: "Even a small star shines in the darkness"
You don't have to be famous, be the prettiest person in your class, or be the best jock. You don't have to get straight A's, dress the best, or have the most friends. You don't have to be the best at what you do. You just have to have fun doing it! Everyone's important. Everyone needs the same thing. Everyone has feelings. Everyone's a star. I also like this quote cause it's going over a bed.. and you sleep at night with the lights off. "Stars" and "darkness" haha get it? Nevermind....

Quote #5: "A dream is a wish your heart makes"
I love this quote and it's from my moms favorite movie. It's about dreaming, which I think is quite appropriate.

Quote #6: "Don't worry about the world coming to an end today... it's already tomorrow in Australia"
This is obviously the silliest one, but it also reminds us not to live in fear. Something I'm not too good at. I'm a self-proclaimed "scaredy-cat." I think when I look at this quote, it will not only put a smile on my face, but it also symbolizes that everything will be okay.

Quote #7: "We don't remember the days... we remember the moments."
Just like quote #1, it reminds us to live in the moment, in the now. I like #1 better, but I think this may look prettier above a bed and it gets the same message across.

So what do you think?! Comment with your favorite quote number and help me out! The sooner I choose my favorite, the sooner I'll order it, hang it up, and do a ROOM TOUR! Also, feel free to leave your own cute, inspirational quote. Now that you see what I'm looking for, you all may be able to come up with an even better one.

Throughout the Years - Kindergarden

So of course I don't really remember much about this year, so don't worry this one won't be too long.
So I stayed at the same school as before the year before. I really can't remember much about it, except my mother became pregnant. I remember being so excited about being a big sister. I can't really remember if I was too worried about having a sister or brother...I guess I was too young to care. But I got a sister. So we had to move out of our cute little house. We moved into a big four bedroom house with an acre of land. Me and my sister got to share a bedroom, and we painted our walls a buttery yellow, and got matching yellow quilts with quilted hearts on it. It was really pretty!
I remember I was really obsessed with bunnies. For my first Halloween I dressed up as a bunny rabbit, and went trick or treating with my little friend, Austin. Then on Easter we actually went to an Easter party and there was a giant, pink, bunny rabbit there. It was so awesome!
So one time my family went to the circus, which was held at Conseco Fieldhouse. We were standing there watching the clowns, and suddenly, I turned around and my parents weren't there! It took me forever to find them, out of the thousands of people, and man was I so scared! There was another time, and I think it was actually a year or two later, but I got lost in the Children's Museum. It was actually because I didn't get in the elevator in time before the door closed, and when I got on the elevator by myself to go to the same level they did, they weren't there! So I  tried all the levels. And then I just finally decided to ask somebody to help me find them, LOL. 
Another time, my some people were installing new carpets in my house. So I don't remember what I did, but I got in trouble for doing something, and my dad made me sit down in a minature, wooden, rocking chair. Well, stupid me, I sprang out of this chair, and landing on my knees on those little sharp nails that go along the walls. OMGHHKP it hurt so much! But sadly my parents didn't take me to the emergency room. So now I have massive scars.
This is also the year that I decided to give myself my own hair cut. My mom went to school for hair, and I decided I could do it too. And I guess that my mom kept my hair, and she put it in a photo album. Kinda weird, but it's kind of funny. 
My family had two cocker spaniels. The golden one was named Boomer, and the Black one's name was Brandy. So I loved these dogs very much, and I have several pictures. But Boomer had too much chocolate! When I was 4, he died. Very, very sad. He was so a good dog. But we had Brandy till I was 11 or 12. 
Here I have posted some pictures of my life up to this point:
