Curly Hair... What to Wear?: December 2013

Happy New Year!!!

I hope everyone had a nice time celebrating the coming of the New Year! I went to a small party with some family friends. As I watched the ball drop at midnight I thought of everything I have accomplished in 2013, and everything I have to look forward to in 2014. Well I decided to share it with you.

Starting off 2013 the first thing I could remember is I had a business competition where I participated in Interview Skills. I did quite well placing 6th regionally, not enough to get me to state, but awesome for my first try. Next I took the ACT and finally received a score I needed to get into the college I wanted. In March I was able to ride with a Olympian and it had to have been one of the best weekends of my life and I really hope I can do it again this year! In May I went to Disney World for BPA Nationals. I made it to Nationals to receive an award, so I had lots of free time being able to visit Coco Beach and all of the parks. I went with three of my good friends and my favorite teacher, lets just say it was an awesome trip!!! In June I went to one of the best Leadership Camps ever! I met some great new friends and really learned a lot about myself. One of the hardest things I accomplished there was finally finding something I was unable to accomplish on my own and I reached a breaking point. Appearing weak is one of my worst fears and i am someone who strives to appear to keep it all together. Luckily I had some amazing people that I had just met to help pick me up! In July I was selected Equine Representative of my county and it was a very reward experience and I am still thankful to everyone who was on the committee to select me. I also had the most incredible ride of my life winning my jumper class with my little mare. August is when I sent in my one and only college application to the college of my dreams. I was accepted August 13th one day before my 18th birthday! What a great present!! August 14th I legally became an adult. (Scary stuff… Who thought it was a good idea I became an adult.) Also I had my last first day of high school, which was bitter sweet. Nothing too much more exciting has happened just school and hanging out with friends. I've had some great times with friends and family this year and I couldn't ask for anything more!

Now what is to come? Well, lots of exciting stuff is on it's way. First off, the first thing that came to my mind was 2014 is the year I graduate high school. They have been calling us the class of 2014 for four years now and now we are finally in 2014! This will also been my last show season for now with the two horses I have now. I have been in 4-H since I was nine years old and now it is my last year. it is quite sad for me, and I don't know what I will do without my two girls next year. However I will be moving out to a brand new city, in a new state, starting my first year of college. I am very excited and ready to start this new chapter of my life. I am also happy to be able to take you guys on this journey with me!

I wish you all a great 2014.

Love,

Hello, hope you are having a wonderful Saturday!

We had a beautiful day here with lots of snow, so my sister and friends decided to have a snow day photo shoot. As cheesy as it sounds I really needed some updated photos with the three girls who have been there for me since the start. I really can not say enough about these girls as they are more than just my best friends. These girls know everything about me and have helped me through every hardship I ever went through. I am sure everyone has went through the stage where you hate to be around your sister or her friends, believe me I did too, but now my sister and I are very very close along with her good friend Natasha. Natasha and Annie will come and sit in my room for hours with me, in fact my last blog post they were sitting in my bed playing Sims while I was at my desk typing. Best friends are truly what makes the world go round. I don't know how to thank these girls for everything they have done for me!
On to fashion aspect of things. Can I just say how much I love my outfit! I found the sweater in my closet while cleaning this week it was from the Gap. I am a huge fan of minimal color so I paired it with a black tank top from Target and black leggings from Old Navy. I thought the brown boots helped break up the black on the bottoms and they are super nice in the snow! The necklace I am wearing was an early Christmas present from Hope. I absolutely love it!! I have always wanted a big statement necklace, and I am sure you will be seeing me wear this a lot now!
