about
I'm a nineteen year old homeschooled graduate. I was homeschooled all of my life and I graduated in June '18. I'm currently not in college and I don't really have any plans to do college. At least at the moment.
I'm an Independent Baptist. I believe that God sent his son, Jesus Christ, to come down to earth and shed His own blood on a cross so that we could go to heaven when we die. He loves us all and wants to spend eternity with us. If we just ask Him to forgive us of our sins and come into our hearts, He will.
I've also been a pastors kid pretty much my whole life.
I love taking pictures. I got my first DSLR in 2017 and since I got it, it has never left my side. I mostly like taking pictures of landscapes, wildlife, + unposed pictures of people.
At the moment I use a Nikon D3000, but I' hoping to upgrade soon.
I also love to write stories, although I'm not very good at sticking with it. I have a lot of fun coming up with the story line, creating the characters, and making aesthetic boards for my stories on Pinterest, but when it comes to actually writing the story, I tend to procrastinate. I've only finished writing one book and that was when I was ten or eleven...*sheepish grin*
I'm a simple country girl and the country will always hold a special place in my heart. Going barefoot + wildflowers + dirt roads + open fields + gardening + small farms + the little things + pickup trucks + cows make me so happy. I am SO BLESSED to live in the country.
Oh, and speaking of cows I kinda have a thing for them. Especially the jerseys and the guernsey with the long eyelashes. They're so sweet.
I love traveling and adventures. I love exploring new places and I hope to travel all of the united states and outside of the USA someday.
The sky amazes me.
Reading is a huge part of my life. I read mostly fiction (suspense novels are my favorite).
I love aviation. Every time I see an airplane I get excited. I flew for the first time in April 2019, and then again in October 2019 and I absolutely LOVED it! I also think it would be cool to get a pilots license, but that's pretty much only a dream.
Chinese food is my favorite. Also milk + sour cream + ice cream. I absolutely love Chinese food though. Ask anyone who knows me in person ;)
I love music. I could listen to it for hours (and sometimes I actually do) My favorite types of music is bluegrass, hymns, and movie soundtracks.
I play the piano + the guitar + the upright bass.
I am a nanny. I take care of a 12 year old boy four times a week. I've always loved little kids so this job was like a dream come true!
This blog is a place where I share my life, my thoughts, + my photography. I hope that you enjoy it and it brings a little bit of sunshine into your life.
Thanks for stopping by :)
