Testing is Stressful

Hey everybody! Sorry for the disappearance. After my last post, I decided that I needed to take some time to work on me and getting myself in the right mindset. I'm doing somewhat better, but I'm still definitely feeling emotions. I took my test a week ago Thursday, and I got my results on Thursday. I did not pass the math section. That was a hard thing to see, and all the stress and anxiety I had just finished dealing with came roaring back. I have to wait another 36 days before I can take the test again, so I am really stressing. I did manage (somehow) to pass the other sections though, so that's good. I have also been doing a lot of reading lately. I am finally on the third book of the Chiveis trilogy, called "The Kingdom". I've read the series before, but it has been a while since I read it. I'm excited to relive the adventure and see how it ends. Once I finish, it will be back to the reading list, starting with "Delirium" by Lauren Oliver. It has been nice to just unplug and read for a while, getting lost in a book. This past week was VBS, and it was so much fun to be able to love on and minister to the kiddos there. The songs were really fun too, and I know I'm going to remember some of them. Maybe all of them. This week I am off work, so I am going to visit a friend in Tyler on Monday and finish planning our trip to Wizarding World of Harry Potter!!! It has been set in stone, and I am so excited to go! The songs this week are "Heart Break" by Lady Antebellum and "Beautiful Rose" by Sean McConnell. I've made "Heart Break" my anthem for the summer, and reminding myself to be content in this season and to wait for God. I also love "Beautiful Rose" and its reminder that there have to be thorns for a beautiful rose. Anyways, have a great week! 

 Stay Beautiful!

A New Beginning

Well, hello everyone! I'm back! It's been a hot minute, hasn't it? There have been a lot of things that have happened in the past few years, and I would love to catch y'all up on all of them! Let's just get started on the writing, shall we? Fall 2018 Wow, what didn't happen in fall of 2018? Let's see. I was still able to work at the Belcher Center as a student usher, and I really loved my job! It was always so much fun to work with Kurt and the gang. I also was student teaching at Spring Hill Primary here in town. I loved working with the teacher and the kiddos, and I had so much fun every day there. That fall, I also turned 22 and it was such a fun day. The biggest thing that happened that semester, though, was getting my sweet kitty girl Stormy Jane. She's a long-haired tuxedo baby, and she is the best kitty ever. She was so tiny when she showed up on Bridey's front porch, just the size of a three month old kitten. To our great surprise, however, s

Big Step Forward

I took a big step forward today. I went to get a haircut. Now, most people would think that's not a big deal, but I have an irrational fear of barber shops and hair salons. Yesterday, I made it as far as the parking lot before I started having a panic attack. But today, I did it. I got a haircut. I'm really proud of myself, and I know that this is a big step for me. Sorry about not posting last week, I had a date with my daddy that lasted all day. These past two weeks have been pretty good. My class has been going well, and I'm super happy with how it's been going. Season 15 of NCIS has been released on Netflix, and OH MY GOSH MY EMOTIONS!!! I'm going to die. Only 15 days until I leave for my trip! I'm super excited to go to Florida. Like, I'm super ready. Anyways, that's all for this week. Have a good one! Stay beautiful! Marlee

Hey guys. This week has been absolutely horrible, with the exception of Monday evening. Monday evening, Bridey came over, and we celebrated Galentine's Day. It was really fun. She got me the cutest fox EVER! I am absolutely in love with it and have kept it near me all week. I named her Lil' Bit because it's so little and for a personal reason. Dad came home with a bad bug last week, and I caught it. My immune system is down already because I have been sick for so long and homebound, so a simple cold lasted me until just about today. I'm still getting over it. It felt like I had pneumonia or something. I was not a happy camper. On top of that, I had to cancel college night because I am still getting over this thing, and my emotions have been all over the place. I have been really, really depressed these last couple of days. All day, all I have been doing is watching movies and playing video games because I have nothing better to do. I have absolutely no appetite, so I ha
