The Marvelous Month of May

This month has been everything wonderful and crazy to me that can be imagined. 


I have survived two advanced college prep classes. 
I somehow managed to see more movies in one month than I have in a really long time. 
I have seen many of my old friends over the past few months, and have also made many new friends. 
On the farm I have been learning how to treat and care for sick/injured sheep, and an injured cow. 
I have seen many of my friends graduate and move on to a wonderful future.
The preparation and anticipation for the summer 4-H season has hit me with it's full force this week. This year I am really excited because I will actually be in Muncie for the fair this year! I wasn't able to make it to the fair last year because I was on an amazing trip in Kazakhstan for three weeks. Now that I will be here, I have signed up to take a total of 6 projects. 
This year I have: Two Horses, three Sheep, a Goat, a Decorated Cake, a Photography project, and a Shooting Sports poster, lined up to show at the Delaware county fair this summer.
I have driven through Yorktown and on 32/67 more this year than in my entire life!
I have had my drivers license for over a year now and have only been in one crash. (Hopefully the only one ever).
I have been trying to be more consistent with reading my bible. So far I have only been doing OK with that.
I have read more books (and they were major works too) this past fall and spring that ever. That is really a lot for me because I already read a ton before! I also plan on reading all summer too, I really do love books.
I am also working on planing my birthday party. I am also trying to decide if I want to have a big 18th birthday party this year or a large late birthday/open house next year.


That's only some of the things that I have been working on and have done so far, and this month isn't even over yet!

Want or Need?

This month I have been thinking quite a lot about the difference between the words want and need. I have come to the conclusion that we actually need very little. One only really needs food, as a substance to keep the body alive. Shelter to stay out of the weather, and clothes to cover us and to keep warm. Anything other than those things I would place in the want category. Along with that would also be anything over the top when it comes to food, shelter, and clothes. Could there be some other exceptions to this though? The reason I bring all of this up is because my teenage-girl-over-thinking-brain has not let me forget this list of things that I think I want. The trouble is what things do I need and what do I simply want? My mind keeps telling me that “every girl wants this…” and “every one needs that” but do I really need those thing at all? Now the list that keeps pestering my brain goes something like this… I want to… Be asked to go to prom Be swept off my feat by ...

Life's a Dance

John Michael Montgomery "Life's a dance you learn as you go Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow Don't worry about what you don't know Life's a dance you learn as you go." Well, this month has been a bit of a roller coaster ride for me. Sort of like as soon as you get off of a really amazing ride when you can’t really walk straight and all you can say is wow. I have learned so much it’s fantastic! I learned that Tennessee is a pretty cool place to go on vacation, and if you stay where we did they have a pretty cool water park. I’m learning how important communication is. I have been writing so many letters and talking to dear friends so much lately it’s great! Also how to balance my schedule so I can be sure to get my work done and have fun too. I’m slowly figuring out where I want to go to college and what to major in. I know what I want to do but how to get there is looking like it will take some more time to learn. I ...
