A POST WHERE I RAMBLE ABOUT 2018 AND THE NEW YEAR


Y'all...it's officially the last day of the year. 2018 is coming to an end. This year went by SO fast. I know I say that every year, but it's true.
2018 was a good year, but it was also a hard one. Probably one of the hardest ones I've ever had. And I know I like to keep this blog a place that people can come to to make them feel good and happy, but I can't lie. This year was a hard one. And some days I just wanted to give up. But through all of the hardships, I've learned that God is always there. No matter what goes on, no matter what happens, we can cast our cares upon Him. He'll always be there beside you. To help you get through the hard times. You don't have to face them alone. And to me, that means a whole lot. I don't think I could have gotten through some of those times without Jesus by my side.

So I am really looking forward to 2019. I don't know what's going to be happening. I really don't have any plans or goals except I am going to try and enjoy life to the fullest. Enjoy this beautiful life that God has given me. And try to live it to the fullest for the Lord's glory.
Here lately I've really been thinking about my life. I really have it good. I have come to realize that I have the best family ever (and I'm not saying that lightly). I am so thankful for my family. Like I can't even put it into words. Sometimes I wonder why the Lord picked me to be placed in such a wonderful home, surrounded by so many people who love the Lord.

Anyway, yeah like I said, I don't really have any big plans for 2019. I know I said I was just going to take a year break from college, but how I feel right now, I still don't feel like it's the Lord's will for me to start college this upcoming year. I'm still praying about it, but who knows. College may not be for me. Or if it is, maybe it's just a little ways down the road. I don't know. But I do know college isn't for everyone. And I went through a time to where I thought people would judge me because I might not do or go to college. But you shouldn't care what other people think. Just follow and stay in the Lord's will and that's all that matters.

A few other goals are exercising more, take more walks, journal more, read more, spend more time off of devices and more with my family and the Lord, learn more and more about photography, etc. You know, the "average" things people want to do in the coming year. I'm not saying all of these things will happen, but I'm going to try and see that they do ;)

So yeah, this post was kind of all over the place. But guys, 2019 starts tomorrow. A new year filled with new possibilities. Who knows what will happen this upcoming year! But thinking about it makes me so excited!! The best is yet to come <33 33="" p="">

2018 ROOM TOUR



Hey guys!! Can you believe it!? Christmas is only 16 days away!!

I have been wanting to do a room tour for a VERY long time now, but I just kept on pushing it off. But I finally did it and here is my room with a little bit of Christmas thrown in ;) Kris and I (mostly Kris though xD) (actually all Kris, haha) decorated our room for Christmas the other day and I decided to take some pictures and do a blog post on it. The decorations aren't drastic or anything like that, it's just simple. But I like it :) So I thought it would be the perfect time to do a room tour!

Enjoy :)




So yep, there is my room!! I hope you enjoyed seeing where I live pretty much all of my life at :) I think it's pretty great xD

NOVEMBER 2018 IN REVIEW


WHAT HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER


- ate Chinese. Twice actually!



- started Christmas shopping. And I'm almost finished!

- had a church fall fun/movie night



- started listening to Christmas music (actually I started listening to it in October, but it "officially" started playing this month xD)

- my grandparents surprised me while I was sick by bringing me back some Burger King!

- took a hike around the lake with my family

- then came back home and snuggled on the sofa while drinking hot cocoa + watching old cartoons


- kris: "Can I have an OATMEAL cookie for breakfast? I mean, it's kind of like breakfast, isn't it?"

- took a hike with Kris and took TONS of pictures.

- had a friend come and stay a few days with us which was TONS of fun! We played air soft, went out for ice cream, sang along (SUPER loudly by the way) to Christmas music on the radio, and went hiking. It was a blast!

 

 
- boy i take care of:  *talking about a guy on a movie* "He's a beautiful artwork of ugliness. Like, it takes skills to be that ugly."

- thanksgiving happened and we went over to my grandmothers to celebrate. The food was DELICOUS!!



- man on commercial: "What's in your wallet?"
ben: "Not much."
