Finally getting a post up... only about 2 1/2 months later. Haha. Finally got back to school, which is why there wasn't any postings. Since it's summer now, I'm gonna try to keep up with blogging. It's a great relaxer to just post about everything. Since March, I have come to realize that this next year just needs to hurry up so I can finally graduate high school and get out of my parents house. It's just too crowed here. We got a kitten. His name is O'malley. He's precious and very cuddly. 

Monday is my and my boyfriend's one year anniversary, very excited. He has been such a blessing in my life and I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful boyfriend, who is also my best friend, to make such wonderful memories with. 

Then next Monday (June 18), I'm going to Florida with Jt and his parents. I'm so very excited. Super hot weather, beaches, and my favorite people? Couldn't get any better. Too bad it's only for a week lol.
I'll most likely be posting tons of pictures of our trip of course. ---It'll be my first time in Florida! :)

Update

Haven't post much lately. Should be getting caught back up soon. :) 

I had THE greatest day yesterday. I spent about 8 hours at my church doing volunteer work with my boy friend. 

Then spent about 4 1/2 hours at my boyfriend's. I just love him so much. He is seriously one of the greatest things that has ever happened to my life. :)

The next week should go by pretty fast. (Hopefully) Monday and Tuesday I should have my teacher come over and finish up my work before I go back to school on Wednesday. I have to keep the house cleaned up all week, then Saturday I'm going to a Casting Crown Concert with my church family and I can not wait. Gonna be a good week. <3

This sucks.

Everything about my house sucks. I get accused of things that never really happened. I get grounded from going to church! My parents take that away from me because they know it's the only thing that makes me happy. I can't stand it, this is horrible. Please God, change this. :(

My Story

So a lot of people don't actually know my past, my story. I used to be the kid that was a partier. I used to be the one that would drink until I couldn't remember what happened. My freshman and beginning of sophomore year I was dating a guy that pretty much just used me. I thought that we were going to last forever. He got me into cigarettes and alcohol. And lying to my parents. He was a senior when I was a freshman. I wasn't even allowed to date then. He made me not believe in God. It was so easy for him to manipulate me because I liked doing things that my parents wouldn't approve of. I didn't have a great relationship with my mom or my step dad. And my dad hasn't really been around a great amount. So I listened to everything this boy said. One night over the summer of my freshman year, he had a bonfire and a bunch of my "friends" all stayed in a tent. I got really drunk. He tried to get me to have sex with him. Something told me not to, so I refused and he got really mad. We grew apart after that and broke up and got back together constantly. Until January 2011 when I found out he had another girlfriend while he was supposed to be with me. I told myself I wasn't going to be getting into any relationships any time soon. I literally forced myself to stop all the bad habits and didn't tell anyone about them. Around the time of my birthday, (I'd just turned 16), I found out that he decided not to go to college and ran off to Florida with some other girl. I was so thankful that he was gone for good. One weekend right before school let out for the summer, my little sister wanted me to go to our grandparents with her and go to church. This would be the first time that I would've ever stayed at their house and about the third time I'd ever been there. My little sister and I are very close so I said I would. She told me how awesome the church was and she was very excited. I didn't know how to react to this but I was happy she was excited. We went, and I really enjoyed myself. I completely opened up and after just one time of going I knew God was real and that I was wrong for a long time. After church was over, my sister introduced me to the Pastor and his wife. They were so incredibly nice. Then I met their son. Well, we didn't exactly "meet" because he seemed to be shy. I later found out he was very shy. I have now been dating him for 9 months and I couldn't be happier. I met the Youth Group which became a big part of my life. They are all so awesome and would be there for you in a heart beat. I couldn't be more thankful to my little sister for introducing me into such an amazing life. I honestly would not have been able to get through my spinal surgery if I would've had it when I was supposed to before I became a part of Bread Of Life. So many things have changed in one year and I couldn't be more thankful. I am such a happier person, and even though some of my relationships with family are still difficult, they have been improving. I think God wanted to prove my own strength through my surgery. He knew that I had all this in me, I just needed a serious event to open up my eyes and show me that I have it in me. I've always been a mentally strong person, but now I know I have a lot more going for me. I'm going to continue to grow and become a servant of God that He knows I can be.

Yesterday was our 9 months. I love him so much. <3

Souled Out

Going to Youth group tonight. Haven't been able to go for about two months because of surgery. I'm so excited. I love being around my Youth group and church family. <3

Oh my goodness.

Totally woke up in a bad mood. This is a great way to start off my positive year. I don't like being stuck at the house all day alone when I'm stuck here any other day. Great.
