Priorities. You are definitely one.

Howdy! Well, finals is over! So is most of December...man.

I always make huge, general resolutions, like last year. Whenever I write out that I have to do something, even if it is a good thing, I tend to not want to do it. It is not likely that I will pray and always have God on my mind and in my heart constantly this next year. I know I will not have enough time to do yoga every single morning.

This year, I want to prioritize more than anything else. I want to put priority on taking care of myself, my grades, learning more of God, and putting those things in the correct order. I have realized that I am 18, a grown woman, and I still act like a child when it comes to my impulsive prioritizing skills. I am coming up with a game plan to take care of myself without mommy or daddy spotting me.

So my resolutions:

1. Commune with God each day. Whether it is blasting "Oceans" on the way home, praying for peace in stressful parts of the day, or reading my bible reading plan on my phone.
2. Take care of my body. No more emotional or stress eating!!! I get so carried away with that and it needs to end. I worked out specific times to work out within my schedule for the semester intentionally, so no excuses!!! Also, treat myself to painting my nails and pampering myself once in a while.
3. Plan and actually follow through. Start save for moving out costs. Research careers. See my friends more that every two months. Don't bail on social/college ministry  events just because. Blog more than once a month!

So yeah! That basically covers it! I know I will fail sometimes, but attempting to keep with it each time is what will improve me.

I hope you all are having a great break/ Christmas. Mine isn't so grand so I'm at the Library to get some balance. My hermitting was getting to me.;) I had fun with work parties, seeing old friends back from college, Secret Santa, and a photo gig. Finals weren't terrible, we had a bunch of ice days so lots of time! My psych grade wasn't what I desired, so I will just have to be a beast at it in another psych class.;)

Here are some random pictures, yay!

I had the privilege of photographing a 50th anniversary this last Saturday. It felt so official!

Hot Chocolate and one of my Christmas gifts. (The main reason I wanted this specific book is because of Matt's precious face)

Look at the non-straightness of my hair! WHAT?

"My outfit was cute, sadly my face twas not"

Baking by myself= bowl licking party for one. :)

Have you ever been to the library when it first opens? It is soooo peaceful and you get the best place to sit! Pinky swear you will try it in 2014.;)

I really miss you guys and I am so excited for 2014 to up my blogging and blog reading skills. But, I am starting now;)

p.s. I did some html work on the buttons on the left. Most of my picture taking of everyday stuffs has switched to instagrams, so check it out if you are into that.
