“15 more days, 15 more days, just 15 more days until graduation and then all this will be over,” I chanted to myself as I sat down for yet another seminar on all the things I’m doing wrong in my elementary teaching profession (I’m not even teaching elementary). This journey has been the longest of my life. These struggles have …
*This is an old post I made for a friend’s blog last year and just now got around to adding it to my page. Enjoy!* Today was a big day. I got dressed up and wore heels for the first time in two years. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but it’s huge. One year ago this week I …
“You have anxiety,” the doctor said. My heart instantly started racing and my palms became sweaty. “What does that mean for me both currently and long-term?” “Hopefully, this won’t be a long-term issue. It’s highly possible that when you graduate, all your stress will be alleviated and you will go back to feeling like your normal self.” “How do I …
This week, I had a Facebook memory pop up which showed me on my first day of senior year of high school. As I get ready to enter into my senior year of college (finally!!), I couldn’t help but to reflect on where I was then and where I am now. I remember that last first day of homeschool …
Dear 2018, It’s been a year. Not a good year, not a bad year, just a year. 2018, you were life-changing to say the least. I graduated from home school and high school at my school and my church.

I love writing and blogging and I’ve missed it so much, but I’ve been busy. Life happens, y’all and when it does, it has a tendency to happen quickly. Some days I would …
My letter to 2017 reminiscing on all the highs and lows. Featuring exclusive never-before-seen pictures from this year. Happy 2018 y’all!
There is so much going on the world today that it can be hard to know what others are feeling. So, in the midst of earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, and the Lord only knows what other impending dooms, I have decided to share my story about living through a 6.8 magnitude earthquake. As many of you may know, I went on …
A little over two months ago, I went on my first international mission trip to Patzun, Guatemala. This trip posed a lot of firsts for me. First time on an airplane, first time out of the country, first time leading a devotion for adults, and oh, did I mention that I did all this without my parents there with me. …
I love plays. I love art. I was born to be a lover and supporter of the arts. One of my favorite things about the arts is how each person who watches the same play, sees the same artwork, hears the same song, or reads the same book leaves that time having learned something completely different than his neighbor, having …
