Glimpse into the Mind of a Blogger #3 "Free Time"

When I saw this question roll in I had to laugh, "How do you send your free time?" Between school work, graduation work, college work, life work, and extra curricular stuff my time becomes anything, but free. However, I have had sometime the last couple of weekends to lay back and breath. So hopefully, this post will help you get an idea of what I like to do.

 Probably my favorite thing to do is READ. I have loved reading for as long as I can remember. I used to go to the library and choose a book based off of how big it was. I also tried to read "Gone With the Wind." For my 8th grade spring break book report. It was a failed attempt, however I did a report on a book about Paul Revere's daughter and loved it. As far a book genres go I am a sucker for the classics and have a list that I want to acquire for my constantly growing library. Some favorites authors are Lousia May Alcott, Emily or Charlotte Bronte, Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and so many others that I am forgetting their names. I like current stuff as well. The Percy Jackson series I couldn't put down, thanks to my dear friend who got me to read them. Peter and the Star Catchers another series was one I deeply enjoyed. I also enjoy any books from any of the Life of Faith series, I would love to own more of them, but they are getting harder to find as they are going out of print. I could talk for hours about books. So suffice it to say reading is an enjoyable pass time.

I enjoy listening to music. I often have something playing while I am cleaning, getting ready, reading or studying. My interests are diverse, I like rock ex, Def Leopard, Bon Jovi, Van Halon, Journey, Toto, Asia. Pop ex, Huey Lewis and the News, Sting, One Direction, Anthem Lights, (there is a lot)
Country ex: Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Alison Krauss, Hank Williams, Alabama,
Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, The Judds, Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, Brooks and Dunn. 
I write a lot, hence this blog, I mess around writing stories, I have kept a journal for several years. Writing is a way for me to express emotions I can't put into words or convey in person. Staring at a blank sheet of paper inspires me to write or come up with thoughts. 

 I like adventuring, exploring new places or just hanging out with my family. I am blessed with a family where no matter what we do, we seem to have fun doing it. We like going to lakes or hiking. We explore thrift stores, going to concerts or doing things at home since we are gone so much of the week.
 I hope you enjoyed seeing what I like to do for fun. I would love to learn what YOU all do for fun. Leave your answers in the comments and if there is something you want to learn about me comment your questions.

What I am Learning as a Student Rep

    Student Representative? What's that? It is a great  role that one girl and one boy run for every year at my co-op. Last year two of my wonderful friends were elected. Rachel and Jakob did a fantastic job. They are part of the reason I decided to run for Student Rep this year.     To start this road of politics I had to write a speech. I spent some time trying to figure out what I wanted to say. I knew what I wanted to say, but I felt like I couldn't phrase it convincingly enough. In the end I decided to state a few ideas I had and not over promise. I went with the idea that we could worry about the election and then go from there with what we wanted to do as a group.     It was a fun election and in the end I was elected the girl student rep. Luke, the boy student rep won as well and he is such a great guy to work with. I have enjoyed getting to know him and sharing ideas back and forth. Luke is so funny, smart and has fantastic ideas about what ...

The One Where I Graduate

Hey, Everyone! This girl did the thing, she got her diploma. Not without the help of some dear people. My teachers are incredible through the last few years at the co-op I have worked with me and taught me so many valuable and cherished lessons.  I have been blessed with a loving and hard-working Mother who has spent countless hours preparing and teaching lessons. She has spent time discussing, researching and praying over the best direction she needed to take with my education. My parents have encouraged me through any adventure I chose to embark on. They never let me believe I couldn't achieve whatever I set out to do. They taught me that hard work would always be rewarding, to always do best, and by example, they taught me to put others first and give when I can.  My brother James is truly the best brother in the world. He is my sidekick in life and we have had countless adventures together. He has shown me to accept whatever happens and be happy at the moment. He has taug...

The One Where I go to Prom...

 Huge weekend, everyone! I had the first of my last dance recitals and then I left immediately for Senior Prom. With my best friend since childhood. How did this homeschooled girl get so lucky as to go to a Senior Prom? Well, it starts with having an amazing guy. I have no idea what is with my face in this picture  When I was three years old we became friends with this amazing family. They had a son my age and we became close friends. We even did kindergarten together, we go camping every summer with them, we did band together and we took some senior pictures together. We keep in contact and hang out, but not as much as we used too, due to the changing seasons in each of ours lives and the busyness of being Seniors.  About a month ago, when I got back from Oklahoma. I came back from dance one night and Mom said I needed to call Brandon. I figured it had something to do with graduation and coordinating getting together or something along that line. So, I called ...
