Work

So I work with kids in the summer and let me just tell you it has been exhausting. These kids are from a lower income area and they just tend to always keep me on my toes. There is also a lot of drama that happens between the kids. Some days it is rough. I sometimes rethink my career choice even though I know that this is what I want to do with my life. This kids can be exhausting and rewarding all at the same time. Please just pray for me as I continue the summer because some days have been hard.

Sorry this is really short I do not know what else to say. I also do not know what to write about in posts so, if you have any ideas please comment them below.

Safe Harbor

I stumbled across this quote when I was on Pinterest earlier. This really made me think about the meaning behind the quote. Sometimes I think I try to stay safe in the harbor. I like knowing what is happening and being in control. My safe harbor is often the places, people, and things I am comfortable with. I feel safe around my family, friends, hometown. All these things allow me to know what to expect. 

This quote says that ships are not meant to sit in the harbor. They are meant to sail. The same thing applies to me as I think about it. God did not create me to stay in one little area where I can control life. God created me for an amazing purpose. I need to trust more that God will allow me to have new amazing experiences. I need to take the chance to explore new places and meet new people. 

I need to be willing to leave my harbor because I know that when I need to sail back my harbor will still be there for me.   

Ideas

So I am trying to think of ideas for blog posts because sometimes my life in just not exciting and I have nothing to tell you guys. I do not even know if the same people are always reading this or if you guys are just stumbling across it and read a post and then leave. Either option is fine! If you are a regular reader I would love you to comment, you could leave a question for me to answer or something you would like me to talk about. I love taking other people thoughts into consideration.

Anyways, I was thinking it may be fun to do some lifestyle type pieces with pictures. I do not know if anyone would like it. I was thinking I could do things like what is in my purse or what are my favorite apps. Let me know if you would like this. If no one comments I will probably do them anyway because I need ideas, but I would love to hear from you!

My New Baby

Now I know from the title that you guys are probably thinking man you never mentioned being pregnant and that is a pretty big thing to hide. Do not worry I did not have an actual human baby. But as I was saying in my last post that I had been looking to buy a car. Well I got a car and it is now my baby. I just finished cleaning it up a bit and putting new floor mats in. It is a 2004 Kia Spectra, so do not worry I did not go out and buy a brand new car and my parents did not buy me a brand new car. This car is my baby because I paid for it by myself. I am extremely proud of this fact. It is a little silver car with a hint of blue color. I am crazy excited and as everyone knows this makes my life so much easier. I can go babysit and go hang out with my friends without having to coordinate with my entire family. Do not worry I love my family but having four people driving two cars before was a little hard. Especially because I had been used to having my own car. I am very excited! But, now I need your help because I want to give this car a name because I love it so much but I need ideas. The car does look a little more girly so maybe it should have a girl name but I am open to any names. So tell me in the comments what should I name my car?

Summer so Far

Well summer has been here for a little less than a week. It has been an interesting first week of summer. Obviously the rest of my family is not quite on summer yet so I have been just chilling at the house. Now you might be wondering why I have just been hanging out at home and not going out and experiencing all the fun things I could be doing where I live. Well my car broke down when I was at home for Easter which was a blessing that it broke down when I was home. So we got rid of that car. Now I am in the process of trying to find another car but I was expecting to get a few more years out of that car so I was slowly saving up to buy a new one. Now I have a very small budget for a car which sucks. I found a car I was in love with and my Dad and I made an appointment to go see it and it got sold an hour before we were supposed to go see it which sucks. I am sure something will work out I really just miss the independence I had with my own car. 

Other than that I have been watching movies. I have been going to my brother's baseball games. I even hung out with one of my friends from high school which was nice.  

Summer 2015

So today has officially been my first full day of Summer. Now don't think I did anything amazing. I woke up, went to the Dollar Store, read a book, saw my Grandma, and laid around. I am excited for the time off of school and to just enjoy the amazing weather. Now you may be wondering what amazing plans I have for the summer and don't worry I am going to tell you:

1) Work- thankfully I work outside so I get to get paid to do something I love and I get a nice tan
2) Baseball- I end up watching many hours of baseball games that my brother plays in
3) Hopefully more Mary Kay parties because I love it and have so much fun with it.

That is all I know for sure but I also have some goals for this summer:

1) Get my room unpacked so it is not covered in boxes
2) Get healthier- I am not saying anything crazy maybe just go on a few more walks
3) T-shirt quilt- I am actually going to get started on this
4) Hopefully hang out with the people from my home town that I still do talk to which is not a very long list sadly.

Well that is it. I also want to try to write on here more but I am not making any promises.


PS: If you read my blog thank you! I honestly just figured I may want to look back on things I wrote. Some of my posts have been emotion filled and some have been just life updates. If you do read this post or all of my posts (if you read my blog regularly I think you are one of the coolest people in the world) I would like to say thank you. If you want to comment that would be great and we could become fun blog friends. If you like being a silent reader and find these posts interesting you continue doing that I am fine with that and that is how I am on a few blogs. If you have any thing you would like to know about me or topics you would like me to address feel free to let me know.

Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day, mothers are an amazing gift we were all blessed with. I think this day can be used to celebrate any women who affected your life in a positive way. Let her know you appreciate her. Go give your mom a giant hug and say thank you. I have decided to compile a list of the things my mother has done for me, taught me, and even shown me for when I become a mother in the future.

1) She has been there whenever I have needed her.
2) She has loved me even when I have been awful to her.
3) She is my biggest cheerleader.
4) She chauffeured me and my friends around for many years and never complained.
5) She cooked for me and did my laundry.
6) She helped me with school projects.
7) She showed me what unconditional love is.
8) She got less sleep to help me.
9) She gave me things I wanted, even when that meant giving up things she wanted.
10) She always tells me I am beautiful.
11) She will listen to me complain.
12) She lets me pick out the movie and the food.
13) She gives me the last bite.
14) She always comforts me when I cry.

There are a billion other things that my mom has done for me and I could not be any more thankful. The most important thing I have realized as I have gotten older is my mom truly is my best friend. She loves me no matter what, she does not talk about me behind my back, she has my back, she laughs and cries with me, and no matter what if I need her she will find someway to be there for me. I Love You Mom!!!
