Summer Fun

Hey y’all! How is y’all’s summer going? Are you surviving the heat – and humidity?! I’ve been having a good one so far! The past few months, my family and I have actually been trying to sell our house. We’re still staying in the same town, just moving to a different (currently gutted xD) home!…… Continue reading Summer Fun

Good Guys V.S. Bad Guys

Alright y’all, so I’m not really sure where I’m going with this blog post 😉 I’ve had a couple of ideas and thoughts floating around in my head, and figured I might as well try to put them into a cohesive mix-up of words and phrases. Lord willing, this will come together as some sort…… Continue reading Good Guys V.S. Bad Guys

My Trip to Boston

Well, this is a little overdue (ok, a lot. Several months XD), but better late than never, right? 😉 At the beginning of November, my dad had a work thing-a-ma-bob in Boston, and so my mom, brother, and I decided to tag along! When we first got there, my mom, brother, and I headed to…… Continue reading My Trip to Boston

Journal Entry ~ Weddings

Being a romantic, I love weddings. The atmosphere, the occasion – everything about it is wonderful. When I was little, I was able to participate in my aunt’s wedding – as the flower girl! I was so excited. And a few years ago, I attended a mentor and friend’s wedding. Even though it was simple…… Continue reading Journal Entry ~ Weddings

Meet Eleanor

Y’all can keep a secret right? XD I HAD to add that meme – Once Upon A Time and Princess Bride, best of both worlds. Anyway. This past December, my parents gave me a car (#bestparentsever). And like any over-excited teen, I had to post it on social media – so I did. But, she…… Continue reading Meet Eleanor

Journal Entry

Because I am an introvert, socializing is not exactly my strong point. I prefer more intimate settings with deeper conversations; I do not really do well with “small talk.” I would much rather a few close friends, over having several friends that are a more shallow friendship. With that said, I am not gifted with…… Continue reading Journal Entry

Journal Entry 5

Many years ago, my family and I went to the Red Wood Forest in San Francisco, California. It was beautiful. The trees were massive – reaching as far up into the sky as they possibly could in all of their natural finery. Despite the cold temperature (who knew it could be cold in the summer?),…… Continue reading Journal Entry 5

Metaphors and the Bible

For my second creative writing assignment, we were tasked to come up with our own three metaphors – similar to Matthew 5:14-16 – and modernize the verses into our own words. As a comparison, here is the original: “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither…… Continue reading Metaphors and the Bible

Family Lake Trip

Last week, my family and I drove up to North Carolina. We were meeting my dad’s side of the family at a lake house in the Appalachian Mountains for a get-together-vacation. The scenery was stunning! Even though I’ve grown up living in a mountainous area, these mountains were far grander! The size and magnitude of it…… Continue reading Family Lake Trip
