    I remember a time when free summer movies at the theatre were actually free instead of $1. But, hey, that’s still pretty good and a really fun way to stay cool. Today, my mom and I went to watch the movie IF for only a couple of dollars. Even though that movie came out last…

    This is the time of year where everything comes to a close. I have a real love/hate relationship with it because the older I get the more extroverted it seems I become. My PE program, my Bible Study program, my youth group all come to a close, and I am left at home. There’s nothing…

    I’ve thought about how much I miss blogging every week, but was just too busy living life, you know? But recently several of our regularly scheduled programming came to an end and I’m truly thankful to be back in the blogger’s seat. Some highlights the past few months have been (in no particular order): DJ…

    The thing about homeschooling is that when it comes to spring break there’s college spring break, our local county spring break, and our Bible study spring break. Sooooo we kind of end up sharing them all like one big happy family. Last week we spent a few days walking thousands of steps at Universal Studios,…

    This past Tuesday, February 11, was my birthday. If you couldn’t already tell by the title I turned 16-years-old. Age is just a number, so I don’t feel that different right off the bat, but I’m excited for this coming year. I have goals to achieve and things to do. One question I’ve been asked…

    A while ago, in December, I said that I was back. I may have underestimated the busyness of the new year and getting settled back in. But this time I am for real! I hope to post around once a week, just to share what’s going on in my life. I’m trying to be more…

    With the holidays in full swing, I have been really busy with trying to finish up school for Winter Break, traveling for Christmas, and getting ready for the New Year. That and my active social life. So many get togethers, so little time. But that is no excuse to neglect you—my avid followers! The holiday…

    Since I first heard about the 5 love languages, I figured my top one would be words of affirmation (I have never taken the quiz). Affirming words foster deep connection. For me this goes beyond “good job” or “you’ve got this,” which is pretty encouraging. But it’s words that bring solidarity (“I know what you…

    Sometimes I feel like Thanksgiving gets lost as Christmas and New Years threaten to take over the holiday season. But it’s a great time to thank God for his provisions, and, yeah, I enjoy the food. Every year my family and I make a traditional American Thanksgiving feast! I mean, we do it all, from…
