Hey guys!
So my birthday is officially in less than a week. What. I honestly cannot believe it! I’ll be turning 18 and I seriously feel like I’m still 12 – time is flying by!
Since my birthday falls on a Tuesday this year (April 8th) I’m having a party at my house for my family and our close family friends this Sunday. I’m super excited! I love decorating, so I’ve been on Pinterest looking up ideas, and I thought I would share with you guys what I’m thinking of doing!
I’m going to stay with a pastel color scheme with gold accents because it’s so pretty and elegant! I really love this picture because it’s basically how I want everything to look haha. I don’t actually know what my cake will look like though, because my parents own a bakery and they are surprising me!
I really love the little pom-pom things made out of tissue paper. We got some to hang around everywhere and I think they’ll look really cute!
We are also going to have these picture balloons floating around! I think it’s such a great way to have tons of photos from my life displayed, but in a different way from the traditional framed ones. And my family loves looking at photos so I’ll have to throw in some funny and embarrassing ones haha.
I think for entry ways these would be cute, possibly a combination of the two? But I think I might have too many animals for this to actually stay for the whole day…
We’re going to be using both of these ideas; I think they are both so pretty and will look really great! We got gold floating candles since I want to have gold accents everywhere, and I absolutely love flowers so it’ll be the best of both worlds since I’m obsessed with candles as well!
I think we might do this to our french doors that go out to our porch (of course with an 18 hehe) since we have so many pictures. I think it’ll look really cute! Although, as my dad pointed out, it’ll look like an 81 when you’re outside haha!
I don’t know if we’ll actually do this, but it’s such a cute way to add even more gold accents! The sparkles might get a bit messy so we may skip this, especially since it’ll be a lot of effort for something that we’ll just throw away. And my little boy cousins probably won’t appreciate having gold hands. Something like this would be so cute for a wedding, though!
Well that’s what I have so far! My mom and I went and got some decorations yesterday, which makes me even more excited! I can’t wait to put everything up and see how it all turns out (: I am definitely going to do a post all about it once everything is ready!
How do you like to decorate for parties?
Thank you so much for reading, and also thank you so much to everyone who follows! I just reached 50 followers and I could not be more grateful! Thank you thank you thank you!! (:

Hey guys!
The weather where I live has been amazing so yesterday I went on a hike with my friends and my dog. I had such a great time, and today I’m pretty sore! I thought I would share some pictures with you guys:
 |
| Here I am with my friends, Joycie and Rachel |
Okay, side note on the picture above, I was trying to take a picture with my dog, TJ, and then he decided to jump on me (he does this when he’s excited and wants to play) and so I got pushed against the wall and I was dying laughing! I seriously thought I was going to pee my pants.
Here I am recovering from my laughing fit haha!
He finally posed, but of course, he had his eyes closed.
 |
| I thought these big rocks were so cool! |
I am so lucky to live where I do! We have so many great hiking trails and Sunday was such a nice day to go; the weather was perfect! I can’t wait to go hiking more this spring and summer – it’s so much fun!
Do you like hiking?
Thank you so much for reading, and have a great rest of your day!

On the drive home today from school, I found myself thinking about how much more exciting my life will be once I’m out of high school and in college, but then I thought, why do I have to wait? Don’t get me wrong, I love my life right now and I am so thankful for everything and everyone in it, but I do wish I got out and just lived more. It seems like my life is just engulfed with homework, studying, applying to college (well that part is over, now I’m just waiting for the decisions from these colleges) and scholarships, and just general mundane, everyday-life-stuff. Why do I have to wait until after high school to “start” my life? Am I not living now? I want to have crazy stories for my kids about the adventures I went on, but those adventures don’t have to wait until I’m 20-something.
I think it’s in our nature to be afraid of immediately starting something; there are always excuses as to why we have to wait to go out and do something great. Of course, sometimes there are legitimate excuses, but for the most part, I think as people we’re afraid to drop everything and just go. It’s understandable, since routine is comfortable and change is scary, but I think we would be a lot happier if we actually went out and had some fun. I want to do so many things: travel, see the sights around me that I have never bothered to see, hike, sleep under the stars…the list goes on and on. And really, there isn’t a reason as to why I can’t start doing those things now. I don’t mean that tomorrow I’m going to go out with reckless abandon and go for a thirty mile hike, but I want to start with baby steps maybe, and try to at least “go on an adventure” (If you’ve read/seen the Hobbit see what I did there…I know, it was cheesy, but it’s my favorite part) a couple times a month instead of staying holed up in my house stressing over things that I cannot change.
I challenge you to do the same! Go out and do something you have always wanted to do, even if it scares you. Go outside and talk a walk, or maybe face a fear. I don’t know, just live. Relatively speaking, we don’t get too long on this earth, so you should make the best of the time that you do have. You don’t want to be 80 years old, wishing you had gone for that hike or jumped in that lake. Try new things and find the good in everyday. Why wait?!
I don’t know what has gotten into me, maybe it’s spring fever, but I am just rearing to go out in the world and explore all it has to offer. This has been on my mind a lot lately, so I just wanted to share it with you guys (: I really hope it has inspired you!
What is one thing that you have always wanted to do?
Thank you so much for reading, and have a great rest of your day! (:
