One Step Closer To Graduation!

So...I passed all of my exams and I'm now out for winter break! I have one more semester and then I'll be a high school graduate! I can already tell that 2017 is going to be an awesome year for me (*knocks on wood*). Although, I'm a little nervous about going to college and not only will I be attending college, but I'll also be looking for my first job! It's definitely going to be a year of firsts for me! I've looked at some college websites and looked for job openings and I saw a few that spiked my interest, but none of them seemed right for me so I'm going to continue to look and pray that God leads me down the right path.

Anyway, enough with the college talk! It's Christmas Eve, y'all! Wow, this month has flown by! Come to think of it...this year has flown by! I can't believe it's already Christmas time! Now, let's get into the Christmas spirit, shall we? I've got my Christmas outfit on, my Santa hat on, and I've had my morning coffee so it seems like I'm ready for tonight. Oh, and I've got the house clean and ready for Santa! ;) Now, lets discuss our little Christmas Eve/Christmas traditions at my house.

On Christmas Eve, we usually have finger foods such as: Cream Cheese with pepper jelly on top (My personal fave!), crackers, little BBQ weenies, Cookies, Popcorn, and a lot of other goodies! Then, we open one present that usually contains a pair of pajama pants, a Christmas movie, a pack of hot chocolate, and a Christmas book for the smaller kids. After all of the eating and gift opening, we get the kids to bed and watch the 24 hour marathon of "A Christmas Story". On Christmas Day, we usually get up around 7 or 8 in the morning to open presents. Then, we take turns opening presents, the youngest goes first and the oldest goes last. We like to go slow when it comes to opening presents so we can make them last awhile. So, what are your Christmas Eve/Christmas traditions?

Preparing for the future!

School has started back and so far I've got nothing but A's and B's! I, also, have very strong feeling that I've found what I want to do as a career. My plan is to attend college and get a degree in business administration. I'm hoping from there that I can start my own business of some kind...maybe a bakery or something like that. This is the one idea that I've been the most comfortable with! So, please, wish me luck as I continue on my journey with school and life! I hate to end this post so early, but unfortunately I'm not feeling too well today. :( However, I'm really hoping that I can start posting more often and for you guys to get to know me better! So, if you have any appropriate questions for me like what my favorite color or food is, just comment your question and I will be happy to answer them!

What A Month!

It's been such a chaotic couple of weeks! Seriously! I'm so sorry for being MIA, but I've got a good reason for it. First of all, we moved! Yep, we're staying at my grandma's until an apartment opens up. Which, of course, has been hectic. Plus, my great aunts have been here visiting and they're also staying with my grandma so yeah...it's been a crazy couple of weeks to say the least. Oh, and might I say how happy I was when my little sister got the stomach virus! :( Luckily we were still at our old house when this happened and my sister and her family had already moved out so I had a bathroom all to myself that was not contaminated! Even though my anxiety was through the roof, I managed to get through the next couple of days without getting sick. Thankfully, my mom didn't get sick either which is very weird considering she cleaned up after her and held the bowl up to her mouth as she puked. This is the first time no one else has gotten it and it really ...

Writing can be hard sometimes...

For the past 3 years, I've been thinking about the same characters, setting, and plot for a story. I have started it over and over again, but I never felt like it was good enough so I gave up on it. Well, a couple days ago I decided to give it another try and I finally feel comfortable with it. I plan on finishing this story and (hopefully) getting it published. That is my goal for this year! Even though there's no guarantee that I'll get it published, it will be a great start just to get it finished. Okay, guys, wish me luck!
