You guys, I could cry. I hate to start another post out with "ya I'm actually not dead just inexcusably BUSY" but almost a year later, here we are again. I would say a lot has happened, and for me it has, but mostly it's just college being college in that I really don't know what free time is anymore. No but in all seriousness, most of t[...]
There's nothing I enjoy more than roughing it in this world of luxury hotels, I thought, but did I have a choice this time? No, no I did not. Plus, Mom was so enthusiastic for us to hang out together at the campsite and walk its trails while the boys were hunting in areas nearby where we were camping, so I tried to put on a good show for[...]
2019 was a pivotal year for me. I think it was one of my better ones, not that it was always easy, of course, but I thank God for providing me with so much this year. His blessings come in all sorts of ways and are not always in the likeliest of places or where you’d expect to see His work. I’m actually really excited to recap this ye[...]
My family took their annual trip up to Canada where they would be fishing for a whole week, and this city-loving-girly-girl took a pass on that last year and did so again this year. I did spend the two years before that going on the trip with them, and while I highly enjoyed the experience of seeing another country and the outdoors in tha[...]
Oh my gosh you guys I am so sorry it’s been over a month since I’ve posted….. I’m not on another hiatus, at least certainly not by choice, but I’ve been more busy than I ever have been between balancing the workload of school this year and then taking driver’s ed, too. Thankfully that is about over—I just pray to God I pass[...]
Long time with no writing! I was hoping to update my blog as much as possible over my vacation spent with family when my parents went to Canada, but we got to be so busy that it made it a lot harder. But I took tons of pictures, so I'm thrilled to recap this now! I got home yesterday and just finished unpacking a little bit ago (as of 3:4[...]
Life is all about perspective. And it's funny to see how one thing could mean the world to somebody and then to somebody else mean nothing. Because it's all about how you see certain things. A prime example of this is the small town my grandparents live in. To so many people it's just a town, and many times not a good town, but to me, i[...]
Psychologically speaking, we know that there are certain memories that stay ingrained in us for long periods of time, if not ever. Unfortunately, traumatic experiences are an example of this. And maybe this is not the best example of a traumatic moment in my life because trust me I've experienced some legit traumatic things, but I just go[...]
Unpacking. I just finished unpacking after spending a few days with my grandparents for Thanksgiving. Every time I'm with them, I find myself always having a great time and, honestly, I never want to leave. But there are of course things I love about being back home, and I'm glad we came home today so that we still get a weekend befo[...]
