2015 // In Review

     Two-thousand fifteen has been the best and worst year of my life. It's been the year with the most changes, the year with the most friendships, and the year that I've learned the most. It happened at the beginning of the year when we found out that my grandpa had cancer. Most of the summer we had relatives from out-of-state here to help take care of him. He passed away in July then. In August, I moved to Kansas for the school year. It's been a very awesome experience! I've made so many new friends. Some it seems like I've known way longer than only 4 months! I use to hate being around people and talking to them, but now, that's all changed! :)

     I turned 16 on December 18. It's weird to think my teen years are already half gone! I think I've realized this year more than any that time, really. flies. My life won't always be the same. Family gatherings on my dad's side won't ever be the same again without my grandpa and grandma [Daudy & Mommy]. Soon my siblings and I will grow up and fighting and arguing with them [because they were being annoying] will only turn to memories. So that's why I wanna live in the now, Not because I wanna argue with them as much as possible before we're older, but because I wanna enjoy my life. 

     It's really hard living in Kansas away from all my friends and family, but before I know it it'll be gone--just like this year! So here's to 2 0 1 6. What will it hold? I have no idea but I want to live in every minute in it--good or bad.

Thanksgiving Week!

  Heyyyy ;] It's been a little while. Not too much has happened since I last posted--except life. I came home last Friday with my aunt and my mom. Yesterday I "helped" work cattle with my cousins. Then after that i went to hang out with Shannon. It started out awesome and ended up with me forgetting stuff about me because i fell off a horse and hit my head. Ok that sounds way more dramatic then it was. It only took 30-45 mins for me to remember stuff again but in the mean time it was freaky!! It's probably the freakiest thing that has ever happened to me. Other then that, this weekend has been pretty awesome. I have the whole week off because of teacher conferences and then Thanksgiving!!! :D Here are some pictures of some of my {new} friends from Kansas.

It's been fun up there so far. :) I'm so thankful I get to be home this week! What are you thankful for?

Life In Kansas ii

Heyyyy ;D So i'm back home for the weekend! This past month has been a huge learning experience...i use to be a huge introvert but now, people don't bother me as much! I've also made a lot of new friends.

Besides school there isn't usually too much going on for me outside of being with friends and a family that's kinda my "home away from home." :) I took pictures of Jessica (yup, same name) for the Forever His Princess magazine. This magazine is finally gonna be in print for the first time this winter!! I love taking pictures for it! :D

It was a lot of fun taking pictures of someone again! I get to stay home until Tuesday morning of next week so this afternoon me and my 2 best friends, [Shannon and Abigail] are going to town.
