What would you do if I said... GOODBYE?

*blink blink*

You read the title right. I am thinking about saying goodbye to blogging.. I don't get many comments, it feels like no one is really reading my blog and it just feels like it may be time to say goodbye. *sighs* I don't really want to say goodbye. Not truly. But life has been so crazy and it feels like I don't even have time to sit down and write out a post.
The energy has gone out of me. I want to write posts but I can't seem to get the words out and write them down in a way that people will enjoy.

I'm graduating this month and a lot of change is ahead of me. I feel like I, at least, need a long break from blogging. *shrugs* (what do you guys think?)

It feels like life hasn't had time to slow down and let me just... breathe. A family matter came up so I'd been quiet. And all that time I had been pondering, "should I quit blogging?". I still don't know if I want to flat out quit. But I might take a break for awhile, and not post as often. *shrugs* Who knows.

Change.

I said, a lot of change is ahead of me. And it's true. I'm graduating this month (but won't be doing a big party or anything until July) My brother is getting married next month, we may be moving out of our tiny old house, and I just have this feeling of... "it's all happening so fast." But I am still eager and excited even with all those feelings. (I don't make much sense I know *face palm*)

So, in any sense, I need a break from blogging for the moment. I may come back, I'd hate to leave all you wonderful friends I have made through the blogger world. So I hope to still pop in now and again; we'll see what God has in store.

I am eager to graduate, get done and take a breath and just breathe for a moment. I know God is in control of my future and He knows where I am supposed to go in this life; and I'm leaning and trusting in that. I've been doing a lot of praying these days. About a lot of things. And thanks be to God I can say I am at peace with where I am in life, and where I may or may not be going. I know He is forever beside me, guiding me all the way and holding my hand through the simplest to the hardest of things.

So my dear friends, this is goodbye. At least for now. I hope to come on here again but we'll see. I pray God will continue to guide each and every one of your through this life. You may have hard roads ahead of you, but remember, God is forever faithful. If you trust in Him and turn to Him in every trial, they won't seem so great in the long run.

Jesus loves you and so do I. Have a good day, and God bless you all. <3

Photo Dump || April

hello lovelies!

So.. wow. How did April fly by so fast?! *looks at the calendar in awe* Feels like it was only yesterday that Brynna was here and we were having a great time. *laughs* And that was in the beginning of this month!

So, the beginning of my month started with my licensing my car, paying for it (lol, I bought it from Felicity and Josiah so I didn't pay for it right away), and getting my car registered. My dad took me to town one day and we did all that.

Drove my car for the first time and got Damara and she spent the night. Then the next day was Sunday so I drove my car to church. *heart eyes* I love my car. ;D And it was communion and pot-luck Sunday so we visited with everyone and went to Damara's after church. It was a lovely day.

Brynna was here. *winks* And we had a wonderful time and I'm so thankful she was able to visit! (and she's gonna be my sister! eep!)

Brynna went home and we got back into our normal routine but I still missed her. (I can't wait until she lives here) And she dove into wedding planning and we all started ordering dresses etc.

The nine month mark since Abi's death rolled around... missing her a lot again. *broken heart*

Did a bit of art. Drawing and painting...

Popped my jaw out of place. *sheepish look* LaKaysha did it! We were... *cough* wrestling and I came at her with a right and she shouldered me in the jaw. *hides face* We have a chiropractor appointment for me next month so don't worry. xD

Easter! We finally had an Easter! *laughs* Last year we were in MT for a cousins wedding and we "missed" Easter at home and I was very disappointed. But this year we had a wonderful Easter, surrounded by the people I love and God's undying Word. <3

Worked for my dad one day. I sanded things for three hours for him. *sweaty face* It was hard and when I was done it looked like I had hardly put a dent into his stack. *monkey face*

I got my dress for the wedding and I absolutely looooooove it!! I didn't even take a picture when I tried it on, lol. I took a video instead. *looks on my phone* My mom took a pic, so we'll see if I can "steal" it. xD

Got a couple days of BeAUtiFUL weather! *heart eyes* It was.... gorgeous!

Hadn't been driving my car much (gas prices without a job don't go well, lol) but decided I "needed" to and went and got Arrowhead for everyone on a "hot" day.

Made cookies, and ate good food, lol.

My mom had a birthday and we threw her a party! Auntie A and Uncle Tim came for it and surprised my mom. I'm so glad they were able to make it. *heart eyes*
