Hur.
or hair. :) Ever since I've had to look for prom hairdos I have really gotten into dressing up my hair a little more than I used to. I have to wear my hair up for work so I didn't think that there was many options to "look cute", I was wrong! Their are TONS of things that you can do with your hair while in a pony! I just need a little more practice cause I'm not very coordinated.

Spark Notes.
I had heard college kids talk about this before, but I had never really used it. It is SUPER helpful! I had to read "Our Town" the play for school and Spark Notes really helped me grasp the whole concept. and I aced the test on it so...yeah!

Being Crunchy.
Just kidding. What I meant to say is planting a garden. My family planted one once when I was really little, but we haven't planted one recently. I decided that I would take on the challenge and plant one this year. It is turning out really nice. I'll have to do a tutorial on it soon!


Prom.
I have my dress, I've picked out what kind of hairdo I want, I ordered his batman bowtie, I've got someone lined up to do my makeup, all I have left is getting my shoes!

This weather and swing-sets.
It is really starting to look like spring! I'm so happy to be able to wear shorts!! I need to start working on my tan.

My parents just purchased a swing-set for the kids, but I'm pretty sure that I use it more than they do. hashtagnoshame










  

This 2014 goal system that I have made is really helping me stay on task with my life. It is so easy for me to forget what I have to do and then waste the time that had to do that task. The goal system keeps me organized, focused, and engaged with what needs to get done. I have a printable calendar that I print out a month at a time and tact to my bulletin board. This way I see it every time that I leave my room. I also keep my monthly goals there for the same purpose. I have my weekly goals posted on the side of my dresser by my bed, because I'm mostly in my bed to do school and things it is most helpful to have my weekly goals there.

February Goals

study/take ACT 
I did study for this and take it although I wasn't very pleased with my score.

read "the meeting place"
This didn't happen. Did I have time to read it? Yes, but sadly I didn't even open it.

exercise
I have an accountability partner now which makes making myself exercise so much easier! I have been exercising every day for almost a week.  

stay positive
I did this!! Since I have learned how to be content I have been a more positive person.

spend more time with Him
I did this more than January, but you can never spend too much time with Him. I still working on it. This will always be a work in progress.

After everything changing in the past months things are starting to settle down.

My new job at the deli is great! I love meeting new people and seeing new faces.

My photography business is picking up speed...which is a Godsend

My car is out of the shop and running like it's old self.

The adoption is almost final. Praise the Lord!

I get my ACT scores back soon. Which means that I can start applying for colleges hopefully.

I am finally just content. Perfectly content. For the most part I don't worry about anything at all. I am completely comfortable with who I am as a person and where I am in life. And that's good.

This is going to sound silly, but when I was in 8th or 9th grade I used to be really depressed that I would never get to go to prom. It sounds funny now, but when you are a homeschooled kid just entering highschool that is a big concern. I mean that's what highschool is about right? I was so worried about it that my mom and I had a big long discussion about how prom was even invented and that it really wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. By the end of 10th grade I had just learned to accept the fact that I would never get to go and being sad about it wasn't going to help...
