july 4th weekend

all photos from my fourth of july weekend. on the 4th i drove up to Madeira Beach with two really good friends, I stayed till the 7th. during those days we went to the beach, explored the little town of madeira and most importantly saw we the kings. i had the awesome opportunity of meeting 3/5 of the members, one of them being Charles Trippy who is CTFxC on YouTube.. and someone who I admire a lot. 

i had so much fun singing and dancing and just making a complete fool of myself on saturday.. definitely a weekend i will never forget.

growing up. and what comes along with it.

Friends, it's literally been forever since I've wrote to y'all. And since the last time we've spoke things have happened.

• Concerts
• Having a foreign exchange student move in
• Prom

and

• G R A D U A T I N G H I G H S C H O O L

Dude. That might seem like a short list, but trust me it was so much to handle. 2013 has literally been flying by considering tomorrow is the last day of May and it'll be officially June. I don't know where to begin. So instead I will share pictures. 

I can't even begin to explain how much I will miss high school. How much I will miss those hallways that I dreaded so much Monday mornings. How much I will miss hearing "Have a safe journey home" before the final bell. And how much I will miss seeing my best friends every day. 

As I have less than 2 months with some of my friends before we each go our separate ways or even some who are still in high school, I am learning to cherish each and every moment. Because sooner than I will expect it, it'll all just be a memory of the time I was in high school.

Valentines.

I have said it before and I will say it again. I'm definitely not one to be super lovey or i like to express my feelings all the times and valentines day is most DEFINITELY not one of my favorites. But this year something changed in me and I'm loving it. My sweet little pup Leo is turning 1 on Thursday and I am having friends over to bake, watch movies, and celebrate my pups little life.

This is Leo Messi in case you haven't seen him.

So anyway, I actually went out and bought little heart lanters for my room as well as the CUTEST Rifle Paper Co. Valentines cards for my sweet friends. I am so excited to give them out (actually I don't even want to do that because they're seriously the cutest). 

Life has been pretty crazy lately, Congres is exactly 3 weeks away (I blogged about last years Congres here), 2 months till I see Taylor Swift, oh! and I bought MUMFORD AND SONS TICKETS Y'ALL! I will be seeing my absolute favorite band in September in my utmost favorite city, SAINT AUGUSTINE! How this all came about is absolutely insane. I found out last week they were announcing their Gentlemen of the Road 2013 tour with a couple other awesome bands and one of the cities they chose this year is Saint Auggie! Not to mention this will be their FIRST time coming to Florida! I am so blessed to say I have tickets and that I will be attending with 2 of my best friends! It's going to be the best 2 days ever. 

Things have definitely been getting better since last year and I can already tell 2013 is going to be one of the best years I have yet to experience. 

In the mean time, I ask that you please pray for me while I am struggling through a class my senior year and as my senior year comes to an end. It's a scary thought but it's happening and soon enough I will be able to say that I am a high school graduate. Insane y'all.

"Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres" // 1 Corinthians 13: 6-7

been a while.

oops sorry friends i get so caught up in everything i have to do i forget to breathe and write sometimes.

this year is going by so fast, i can't believe it's already february. most importantly i can't believe it's 2013. i feel like this is what most of my posts have been about but well..this is what my life is concentrating on!

so here is a list of things that will be happening in this new year:

• Seeing Taylor Swift with two really great friends in April
• My second and final year of competing in Congres in March
• GRADUATING HIGHSCHOOL in May
• Starting COLLEGE (!!!) in August
• Moving to a new city
• Going to p.r.o.m.

so that doesn't seem like a lot but i'm sure other things will come up along the way.

i am also going to post some things i have been loving lately, because well..why not:

and a bunch of other stuff i don't have pictures for. till next time!

2012 in a nutshell.

  2012 has definitely been a whirlwind year. I started at whole new school (and school system..), I have made new friends, I have lost friends, I grew closer to my sweet Lord, I started a blog, I became a senior in high school, I got accepted into my dream school!!  I have done a whole lot this year. I can't believe it's already coming to an end. I could have sworn it was December 31, 2011 and I was in my living room with my best friend and my brother and his friend and we were counting 3,2,1 into 2012.


  You know how when you get older people say that life will fly by...it is so true friends. I was just a freshmen in high school ! Dealing with silly things and now I am a senior getting ready to deal with financial aid and independent scholarships.. it's ridiculous. I don't know how I feel about it getting ready to be 2013, but I'm sure that the Lord will guide me through it.

that one time i dyed the bottom of my hair green...

although some friendships end others start again. new faces come into your life and sometimes these new ones stay for a while, or stay forever. 

I'm excited for this new year of hope and dreams coming true.. hope y'all are too.

Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animals!

Happy Christmas friends. Today is a day of laughter, family, friends, loves, gifts, much most importantly, the one who today is meant for.

‎"For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

Our God sent His one and only Son to be born, in a manager and to live among us as human. He came down in the humblest way a King could ever come. We are blessed beyond measure. I am blessed beyond measure. 

Hope today was wonderful for you. 

xoxo

brighter days are ahead.

hi friends!
I have such wonderful news to share. I got my second (and final!!!) acceptance letter today! I got in early decision to my DREAM SCHOOL y'all!! My heart is so happy and I can't believe my dreams are coming true. It's been a crazy past couple months but receiving that letter today made me realize I have my whole life ahead of me.

"And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:19

That's a verse that I can remember learning back in my awana days. and it's a verse I have always believed the Lord fulfills. We have such an amazing and glorious Father, friends. I can't say that enough. 

"I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy." John 16:20

There's been a lot of tears shed lately..either from stress or feelings or movies.... but this verse is so true. Just because I am sad doesn't mean the world is too and just because I am overwhelmed with happiness doesn't mean the world is as well.. so even though I am rejoicing I need to think of others who don't have the same opportunities as I do. 

-Christmas is right around the corner friends.. pray about sponsoring a child to help get them an education. Think about it.. you could make their life. 

xoxo
