My name is Taylor. I’m 17 and working on thriving through my final year in high school. I thrive on love, unconditional love. Recently, I started dating a US Marine. We knew each other in a ceramics class when I was a sophomore and he a senior. Now, he is serving our country overseas. He’s more than I could have ever asked for and maybe one day I’ll be blessed enough to have his name as my own. But until then, this blog is dedicated to long distance love, the Marines, being happy, and enjoying life. :)Tumblr (3.0; @taymaeshaw)http://taymaeshaw.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d272333466bafa2a2d61ecb3ca3d7018/tumblr_mn15nxQytw1qlur4mo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I couldn’t have possibly gone through all four years of high school without these three amazing young women. While life is about to take us on our separate ways, I know that we will always be able to come back together like no time has passed and watch #StickIt and quote just about every line together. I love you girls with all my heart and I’m so glad to have met you. I wish each of you the best of luck and know that you always have a friend in me.❤</p>http://taymaeshaw.tumblr.com/post/50791081858http://taymaeshaw.tumblr.com/post/50791081858Sat, 18 May 2013 22:23:57 -0700stickit<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/09f7318fd485fadface00c1636794d04/tumblr_mn0ypsIxEk1qlur4mo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#graduation #2k13 #ironwood #eagles</p>http://taymaeshaw.tumblr.com/post/50780972869http://taymaeshaw.tumblr.com/post/50780972869Sat, 18 May 2013 19:53:52 -0700eagles2k13graduationironwood<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f3fae6723642132239c9c9ca5db76aa9/tumblr_mn0b2aMjcJ1qlur4mo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Ready for #Pentecost.
