Blogging Break

Hey everyone! I know I haven't been posting as much in the last month or so, and I'm sorry if I've completely bored you to death. :) I've written many posts about the chaotic, crazy, and fun life I lead. I've talked about my stresses and praises and my adventures and reflections. I thank everyone for following along and reading about my busy life. I love getting feed back and encouragement from anyone who reads along...it just makes me want to blog even more.

I usually take at least one blogging break a year and maybe a couple more unnoticed ones as well. With all the responsibility I have at home, the fun I have with friends, school being a little extra hard this year, and trying to manage a basketball team and find time for myself - Things get a little hectic sometimes. The thing is I never give myself a break...I've always been a people pleaser. I don't like to disappoint others; I like to help them and encourage them and think about them before myself. And as much as I hate talking about myself...I need to.

I need to make myself happy as much as I can make others happy. So sometimes taking a few steps back and clearing my to-do list for others is just what you need to do...and that's what I'm doing. I'll probably be gone most of February and I'll be taking some time for myself. Don't worry though...When I'm back, I'll catch you all up and hopefully have some pictures to post as well. :)

Thanks for being the most fantastic followers ever!

My Volleyball Girls

So you usually see us in our jerseys, sweat dripping down our faces, and us diving across a volleyball court...But every once in a while we like to look a little prettier. At Snowdaze this year, the volleyball girls decided to take a picture together and well...I just love these girls!

Snowdaze 2014

Snowdaze came and gone again this year...sadly it was all too fast and me and all my friends wish we could just rewind to Saturday night! 2014 has been my favorite Snowdaze dance so far! We always have a blast and make memories that I will never forget. :)

Everyone from The Posse made it and we danced and sang and made each other laugh all night long! So much fun! Believe it or not, we didn't try to match or coordinate any of the colors. Everyone met at school and we realized that we were all wearing mostly black, blue, and some sparkles :)

So glad I have these friends in my life...we always have the best time together! Until next year...

The New Year

2014 has brought a whole different adventure of busy and crazy into my life. I don't think there's a day that goes by that I don't have something to do...even if I say I'm bored there's probably something that I could do to keep me busy. Obviously blogging has not been one of those things that I've chosen to do ;)

Some current things in my life right now --

Our school's Snowdaze dance is exactly one week away...

I'm managing the boy's basketball team at this year...

Waiting for my best friend to finish reading Divergent so I can borrow it from her...

Planning a trip with my youth group in July...

My family needs to move by the end of May...

There is constantly something new that pops up in my life and sometimes it's stressful and hard and sometimes it's good and exciting. One thing I can always count on is prayer and knowing that our Saviour with get me through anything and that His plan is always better than mine. :)

Hope everyone is enjoying their January so far. I'll be back soon!

Old Goals & New Goals

This past year I started something new. I made 13 goals for 2013. I decided to write them down and keep them here for all of you to see. I felt like that would give me more motivation and keep me more accountable to things I wanted to achieve. And even though I didn't complete them all, I am quite happy with what I accomplished in 2013. 

I am proud and excited that so much could happen in just one year. So here are the finished goals from my year.

1. Bedroom Makeover ✓ (pics coming soon)

2. Save enough money for a DSLR camera ✓

3. Get a car ✓

4. Finish my sophomore year on the A or B honor roll ✓

5. Get a Summer job ✓

6. Complete 3 DIY projects off of Pinterest

11. Complete my devotional book

Since this seemed to be such a success for me. I decided to make 14 goals for 2014 as well. There are probably 3 or 4 of the same from 2013 because I really want to complete all the goals I made. :) 

Thanks for following along!
