Christmas has always been a favorite time of year for me. I love lights, all the family time, decorating trees, music, and the inescapable reminder to the world of a Savior born. It does not come without it’s cons these days though. I suppose that’s how you know you’re an adult... or arriving to that … Continue reading christmas thoughts
There was a time for me when life never felt good. I knew I was blessed, but there is a difference between knowing something and fully recognizing it as the profound truth that it is. I knew the Lord loved me. I knew my family loved me. I had a roof over my head, clean … Continue reading Reflecting
Hello, blogger friends! I suppose now's a good time to tell you that I've been married for almost two months now! (it will be two months in ten days!) And that's exciting for me! The only hard thing has been that not everyone has been as excited for me. Much of the culture today doesn't … Continue reading On Being Married at 18 (a life update)
It's interesting to think about how when I was younger, all I ever did was wish that I was eighteen. I lived for the day I'd be an official "adult."

As someone anticipating the arrival of December, this is profoundly exciting for me. Not only to see my best friend again, but I just love Christmas in general. However, it would be untruthful … Continue reading Merry Thanksgiving
Is anyone else already anticipating December? I have honestly been waiting since May. Before you jump on me for skipping summer, spooky season, and fall with the intent to bring Christmas up from the North Pole prematurely, let me explain why. My best friend's been gone since May 2nd, back to the faraway land of … Continue reading On Being Patient (and v impatient)
Hi everyone! Long time no post, I know. The theme of the last few months has just been P R E S S U R E. I recently graduated, got back from lots of traveling, and am "settling down" for the holidays in my little Florida town. And as we all know, it's currently sPoOky … Continue reading Pressure in Spooky Season
Yep, you read that right everyone. It was an idea I've been toying around with for a while now. If you're familiar with my blog (or me personally) you'll know I've been an avid writer from a young age and have consistently kept a journal since I was eleven after years of inconsistency with it. … Continue reading Shredding My Oldest Journals (NOT CLICKBAIT)
To the few people who perhaps actually look forward to my few and far between blog posts.
