It's been a while...

I realized that I've not been blogging like I should. With this hectic life I don't slow down for much. This is the first time I've picked my computer up in probably a week. Let alone uploaded pictures to Facebook. Life is crazy busy right now, but I love it and it's going great. April is approaching fast and its going to be even more hectic. We're wrapping up the end of the school year and I'm more than ready for it. This has been a long year. I feel very accomplished though. I'm ready to be a Junior, but that also means I'm that much closer to graduating. That's a bitter sweet thought. I love High School and spending time with all my friends, but I'm also ready to start college, my career, and my own life. My Family and Friends are amazing me more and more each day. I don't know where in the world I would be without them. They're awesome in every aspect of life. I'm thankful to have family that would go above and beyond for me. Also to have such amazing friends, that I know I can call up at any time of the day and they'll support me. Give me a shoulder to cry on, laugh with me, and encourage me along the way. Of course, I wouldn't have any of this without my amazing God. I'm one blessed girl so I try to stop myself when I start complaining about things. Truthfully, I wouldn't have it any other way!

I plan on trying to blog every day or every couple days from here on out. I think its important to blog so I can look back on all of this. I enjoy reading blogs and I think its an awesome thing to do. Okay, enough blogging for now... Off to get ready for the BFF's sixteenth birthday! Happy Birthday Brittney Taylor Wine! :)

Crazy Life.... But I love it!!

So, I have not updated my blog in a little over a month. Lots of things are happening. Finally the snow is leaving us, but I believe the Spring showers are moving in on us. I love Spring time.. I'm definitely a flip flop kinda gal, so the first warm day of the year you'll see me in flip flops. Spring Semester is going well... A lot easier than last semester. I've faced a lot of changes in the past month or so. Some much needed change, but I wish it had ended on a better note. Something that has made me trust people a lot less, but I now see who truly has my back. I thank God for all the things He puts me through, because it only makes me stronger. I've also finally decided what I'm going to do with my life after High School. I plan on becoming a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. I had said for a little over a year, that I wanted to go into Pharmacy, but with the mind set for money. I want a job that I will love and also be able to support myself as well as a family some day. I love kids and I have always wanted to work with them. I know going into nursing, that it will be difficult and a lengthy process, but I also know with God and my family and friends that I will make it through it. I'm excited to start college dual enrollment classes this upcoming school year. I'm starting to realize that I'm growing up weather I like it or not... ACT, College Registration, and Scholarships... Welcome to the real world! I'm excited, but also scared. I know this is a wonderful opportunity and its something that will pay off in the end. That's about how my life is going right now.. Crazy Hectic, but I love every minute of it!

Peace and Love,

Tabitha

New Year... New Start!

So as we brought in the New Year, I set new goals. This year is going to be an exciting year and I sure hope its better than 2010. There was some good memories in 2010, but also a lot of heartache. I'm so happy to be turning over a new chapter in my life and starting new. I have a blessed life, but I have been through many hard times this past year. I do thank God for all the trials He has put me through, because it has made me stronger. Without God I wouldn't have made it. My family and friends have also been amazing and helped me through so much! I'm ready for a new start, a new life, and a new me!

Love and Peace to all,

Tabitha

Christmas Time

So... As they say, its the most wonderful time of the year. I believe it is the most wonderful as well as the most precious time. Without Christmas, we wouldn't have Jesus, without Jesus we wouldn't have Salvation.. Without Salvation, I wouldn't be anything. My Salvation is very precious to me and its something that can never be taken away from me. Christmas is also a time to spend time with your family and friends. I try to stay as stress free as possible around Christmas time. I believe everyone shouldn't stress over spending thousands of dollars on Christmas presents and take time and thank God for sending His son to die on the cross for our sins. With our Christmas tree up and the cold weather and snow moving in, I'm ready for Christmas. I'm ready to hug my family tight and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior with Food, Candy, Presents, and all the fun that comes with Christmas! Also, my Fall semester of my Sophomore year is coming to an end. This has been a very tough semester and I'm more than ready for my Spring semester. I can't believe that half my Sophomore year is behind me.. Time has flown by and I need to slow down a little and enjoy this time more. Lastly, there was a huge burden taken off of me. After many months of my mom being in a lot of pain with her kidneys and bladder, they finally figured out what was wrong and have a cure for it! I want to thank each and everyone of you that have said a prayer for her. Also, thanks for all the prayers for us as a family! A new beggining to start the new year with! Family, Friends, and Myself healthy and happy! :)
Love to all,
Tabitha

Fall Events!

As we all know, Fall is FINALLY here! I love this time of year, especially Football season! Tomorrow Claiborne will play Cumberland Gap.. Our rival! This is a huge game for us and its even more special knowing that we are hosting the game this year. We'll be tailgating before the game, which makes me even more excited! Nothing better than some tailgating and football! Life has been hectic the past week or so. Lots of things going on and lots of places to go! I would much rather be busy then have nothing to do though! Hopefully I'll get to spend some much needed time with my family this weekend!

Peace and Love to all!

Fall Break... Must I say more?

Life has been crazy busy these past few weeks. My first day of Fall Break will be tomorrow. It will feel so good to have a few days off of school. Sitting in classes all day will drive anyone crazy. This past weekend was packed full of fun. This weekend it looks as if it's time to do some work. After school, Mom and I ate Pizza Inn, came home and cleaned house, and now I can say that I am more than ready for bed. Tomorrow should be a fun day, Paul Steven will be celebrating his 10th Birthday at Fun Expedition... I'm sure I'll change my mind on that tomorrow after spending three hours with little munchkins! :) I'm babysitting a lot more now, which suites me just fine. Hopefully I'll get up to see that sweet Railynn this weekend sometime! Life is crazy, but I'm blessed and I hope that one day I'll be able to look back and realize that "This Ain't Nothing." As the Lee Brice song goes. Right now as they say, its my time to shine. Highschool days are the best days of your life and everyone tells me you miss them dearly once you've graduated! Well I think I'm going to hop off to bed! Goodnight everyone and God Bless! :)

Just Another Day...

Where to start? I'm definitely going to have to start blogging more. Life is crazy-busy these days and I never know what to expect. People surprise me each and every day.. But... I am blessed. There's many people facing much harder stuff. I catch myself complaning entirely too much. I am getting back in church and starting to count my blessings. I'm so very happy that Fall is finally here. There's nothing better than jeans, hoodies, hayrides, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and cool weather! My Mom and I are starting a new chapter in our lives and we are very excited for this new start. Allthough, turning the previous chapter was hard, this will be for the better and we need this change. I know God has brought us to it and He will bring us through it. I've had to learn to put my full trust in Him. I've had a wonderful weekend with my family. Its been a blessing to spend time with my cousins. We went to the Fall Carnival at Springdale School last night, went on a picnic and picked pumpkins today, and we're enjoying having the kids again tonight. Sometimes time with the family is much over do and it will put you in a much better mood. I was also blessed with a sweet baby cousin this past week. Railynn Grace LeFevers was born September 28th, 2010 and weighed 7lbs. She is so tiny and sweet. I held her in awwww on Wednesday. I've waited for this baby for 9 months and I'm so blessed to have her in my family. On another note, I couldn't be more blessed with awesome frineds. You really do find out who your friends are when you are in need. Samantha, Brittney, Emily, and Morgan have been there for me this week, when I needed them the most. There's also been many others that have sent up prayers and gave me encouraging words! I do aprreciate each and every word or prayers said! As I tell everyone else, always keep your head high and show that pretty face to the one that make you want to hang your head down.. I've got to remember this myself!
Peace&Love for now! ♥
