Sunday Thoughts

Hey Guys!
I’m currently sitting in my bed right now, watching Harry Potter and eating a Nerd Rope. All the fairy lights are on and candles lit, so I am one happy bug. It’s been such a nice Sunday today, just relaxing with my family and doing some cleaning around the house. Sundays are definitely my favorite day of the week!
Today I thought I would share a quote that I found a while back with you guys 🙂
I absolutely adore this quote. When I was younger, I always had such big dreams and plans for my life. Today, I still have dreams and plans, but sometimes it seems so scary planning my life because it is now so real. It was very easy when I was seven years old to say that someday I would be a famous author, or an archaeologist working in Egypt. Now I have to think about a career that will allow me to be successful and able to support myself, so it’s easy to lose sight of what would make me truly happy.  When I saw this quote, I instantly fell in love. It really puts dreams in perspectives, and it is so true. If you aren’t actively pursuing your own dreams, you are probably working to help support someone else’s. While it is never a bad thing to help someone out, it is just as important to make your dreams come true. The world today doesn’t encourage dream-making, but rather money-making, and I think it has resulted in a lot of unhappy people. My parents have always told me to do what I love, and to not worry about money. While this is a very admirable thing to do, the world today makes that a very hard task to achieve.
However, 2013 really taught me to do what I love. I have realized what I love to do, and maybe what careers I would like to have when I am older. I also learned what I don’t like to do, which is actually really helpful to me now, so I know what not to study in college. Since 2014 is the year that I will graduate high school (what?!), I’m glad to have figured all that out in 2013. All in all, it was a good year because I learned a lot about myself, and about life in general. I am much more confident about someday moving out and living on my own, because I finally have confidence in myself. I feel like I have really broken out of my shell this past year, and I began to learn more about myself. I still have so much more to go, so I am really looking forward to 2014. I have a lot of goals that I am working to achieve, and I feel so ready. 2014 is going to be such a huge year; I am turning 18, graduating from high school, going to college, the list goes on and on. I am really hoping for a great year to come, and I think going into the new year with a good attitude is the best way to tackle it. So, I don’t have any new years resolutions per se, but rather goals to accomplish and dreams to begin. I have started writing a book and I am excited to see where that will take me, and I plan to work on my blog a lot more. 
So, I hope you all had a good 2013, and I hope 2014 is even better!
What are your goals or resolutions for 2014?
Thanks for reading and have a great rest of your day! 🙂

Favorite Music of the Moment: Pocketful of Poetry

Hey guys!
So I just had to do a quick post about one of my favorite artists, Mindy Gledhill. I have been a fan of hers for awhile, and she just came out with a new album called Pocketfull of Poetry. I am in love. I cannot explain how much of a musical genius this woman is! There isn’t a song on the album that I don’t like. Her music is so pure and lovely, and just great all around! Words really can’t do it justice.
I’ll leave a link to the actual song Pocketful of Poetry, but you guys should listen to the whole album! Trust me, if you like really sweet songs with great meaning, you will love this album!
I will be posting again soon, thanks for reading, and have a great day! (:

Busy, Busy Bee

Ahhhh, hello everyone. I know I haven’t posted in a million trillion years, and I’m very sorry. School has kept me extremely busy, as it is my senior year. (Finally, my last year of high school!) This month has really flown by!  My mom’s bakery has also kept me preoccupied, and it was just her birthday so my dad and I had to scramble to get something together for her. I feel like I have been swept up in a tornado and am now getting my bearings back.
I do, however, have a lot of posts planned! I want to do a fall series, as it is one of my favorite times of the year (: It is currently raining, and I’m in my room in super comfy clothes and I am quite happy. Needless to say, I’m so excited for Fall and have a lot of my favorite things to share about this season, like fashion and cute little decorations.
Anyway, I just wanted to do a quick little update post and let you guys know that I am still alive! I’m really going to try and post at least twice a week so we will see how that goes!
What are your favorite things about fall?
Bye for now! Have a great day (:

25 Facts About Me

Hey guys! Sorry I haven’t posted in so long! My mom is opening a bakery – well, just opened today – so my life has been absolute insanity. I feel like I haven’t even had time to breath! Since I haven’t posted in a little while, I decided to do a more personal post, especially since I haven’t had my blog for a super long time. I thought this would be a great way for you to get to know me a little bit better! (: 
So here goes!
1. I love animals – probably because I have grown up around them. We have a lot of animals; to be exact, four cats, three dogs, and a ton of fish. That may not sound like a lot but we have a Saint Bernard that weighs 175 pounds and two Akitas coming in at around 100 pounds. So it seems like we have twelve when we only have three!
We call him “Z” because he has a white Z on his back!
 
Always barking! But so sweet (:
This is little miss Miki on Christmas morning
Al, one of our cats, is by her paw.
This is TJ. He’s my dog, I just adore him (:
They do actually love each other 😉
I just adore them! (:
My kitty, Angel. I’ve had her since I was seven and I adore her as well (:
 

And finally, our newest addition, Perry! He’s so precious (:

(We also have another cat called Mama Kitty, but she is an outside cat for the most part so it was hard to find a decent picture of her. She’s very sweet and adopted us when she had a litter of kittens. Al is actually one of her kittens that we decided to keep!)
2. I love to read. You will most likely always find me with a book of some sort.
3. Consequently, I also love to write. It has really become a passion of mine.
4. I absolutely love milk, but last December I found out I am allergic. It isn’t a horrible allergy, I just can’t have it first thing in the morning or on an empty stomach, and I can’t really have more than a glass a day. I was so sad when I found out.
5. Speaking of allergies, I am also allergic to wheat, egg whites, ibuprofen, pine trees, band-aids, neosporin…basically life. Haha I lead a life filled with daily allergy pills.
6. I have endometriosis; it’s hard to explain but it basically means my body produces too much tissue in my uterus, which causes a lot of pain. I pretty much inherited all of my family’s health issues haha.
7. I have a slight addiction to Jamba Juice – the employees at the store I always go to know my name and order. Their smoothies are just so delicious. If you guys ever go there you should order the Orange-a-Peel. I know, it sounds weird, but it’s amazing.
8. I lived in Tennessee when I was little. My mom is actually from there, and we had to help my grandma when she fell and broke her hip. I picked up a heavy southern accent, because I basically learned how to talk when we lived there. I still say some words the “southern” way, especially since my mom says them that way.
9. I love classic cars; I grew up around them and learning all about them because my dad loves them a lot. It’s a good thing we live on acreage, because we have about 15 project cars that he wants to finish.
10. My favorite color is blue.
11. My dad used to race cars.
12. My favorite numbers are 3 and 87; my dad’s racing number backwards.
13. When I eat pizza (which isn’t too often, as a have to take a “Gluten Ease” pill to eat wheat) I scrape everything off of it and just eat the crust. It just tastes better to me.
13. I don’t like putting milk on my cereal because soggy cereal is disgusting to me.
14. I love flowers; my favorites are Daisies and Gerber Daisies. 
15. I love to draw and paint. 
16. My favorite things to draw are flowers and animals. I think drawing realistic pictures are so cool and it’s really relaxing for me.
17. I play the viola.
18. I am a swimmer.
19. I danced for about eight years. I still really love dance and take classes every now and then. 
20. I don’t know what I want to do with my life and it scares me sometimes.
21. I am obsessed with Harry Potter. During spring break, we went to Universal Studios in Florida and I got to go to Harry Potter World. It’s the best vacation I’ve had! 
22. I have an older brother who just turned 22.
23. I’ve never actually seen The Notebook all the way through; I’ve seen bits and pieces, but haven’t watched it in it’s entirety.
24. I’ve always thought it would be so much fun to work as a Disney Princess at Disneyland. I love Disney movies so much!
25. I still have my baby blanket and sleep with it to this day.
Well, there you go! 25 facts about me; I hope I didn’t bore you guys to sleep! And hopefully you guys don’t mind all of the pictures of my babies (: Haha, if you were to look through all of my phone pictures, 95% of them would be of my dogs and cats!
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this post!
What’s something interesting about you?
Have a great day! (:
