2020

Happy New Year, my friends!





Can y’all believe that it’s 2020??? Because I know I can’t.




It was only last year that it was 2014, okay? I’m definitely still an awkward twelve-year-old who doesn’t wear any other color than black and who’s reading LotR for the umpteenth time.

Oh wait, I still am reading LotR for the umpteenth time.

Never mind.

At least I’ve graduated to wearing some grays and blues now. XP



As I thought over what I did this past year, it surprised me how little I actually did. X”D It felt like so much. Here’s a rough outline of some of the highlights of my 2019.

·         OYAN Summer Workshop in Kansas (June)

·         Mountain Camping Trip (July)

·         Church Family Camp (August)

Other Big Events of 2019:

·         I earned my purple and blue belts in Kung Fu.

·         I ended my junior school year in May and started my senior school year in October.

·         I participated in the April and July Camp Nanos, won those, and then tried joining November’s Nano, but didn’t win that (actually didn’t even come remotely close, rip).

·         I got my first iPhone.

·         I got my driver’s permit.



2019 was an amazing year, tbh. There was pain, joy, tears, laughter, work, fun, growth, and discovery.
Growing up is scary, man. But it’s worth it in the end.   
Let’s have a toast to 2020, yeah? May there be much joy and growth this year. 

To 2020! 

Namarie,

    Wow, NF was one of your top listened to artists?? I never thought I'd see the day. :D :D

    I got my driving leaners permit too! I'm currently doing DriversEd online. It's uphill work. XD

    I've seen you wear colors other than black, gray, and blue. Granted, it is extremely rare. ;)

    Free Hugs?? I've gotta read that. If it's what it sounds like. XD

    Sounds like you had a good, full year! It's been a privilege being your friend in 2019, and it will be an honor to continue to be so in 2020. :) <3

  5. "Growing up is scary, man." I relate.
    Reading LOTR for the umpteenth time? Like that's something you're ever going to grow out of? I will keep reading those books until I die. ;)
    (This blog is great and I keep forgetting about it because it doesn't show up in my Wordpress reader. That shows how lazy I am. ;) )

Playlist Swap! (collab with Kendra Lynne)

It was a lot of fun-Kendra and I have very different music tastes, so we got to hear music that we don't normally listen to, which is always fun. :D Many thanks to Megan @ A Barefoot Gal Clara @ Midnight Mind Kenechi @ Well... go read! Sarah @ Paraphernelia  for giving us the idea to do this post!!! :DD  And now for the music!!!  Love of My Life by TobyMac  This song has a really fun beat! I don't normally listen to TobyMac, but I must say, I enjoyed this one. It reminds me of dance or skating music. As for the words, it's pretty repetitive, which isn't my favorite; but I loved the imagery! And the rap bridge was fun. :D  Photoshop by Leanna Crawford  Ohh I liked the message of thi
