Trapped in My House

Hey yall! If you aren't aware, Snow Storm Jonas has impacted the U.S. Here in Kentucky we got around 10-18 inches, depending on where you live. Currently, I'm looking outside of my window & my car is almost completely covered, & I can't see our driveway. I haven't been outside since Thursday night. Some good things came out of snow strom: I'm getting to chill in my onesie while drinking coffee & watching YouTube, Netflix, etc. I also got all my homework done, which is a plus for me since I am the queen of procrastination. The down-side to the snow is that I can't go anywhere & the coldness seeps into our house when the door is opened, which happened when our roommates from upstairs came down to visit last night. All-in-all, I can't really complain. As long as I don't have to get out in it, I'm perfectly fine with the snow. It's actually really pretty. The sucky part is when I have to venture out to dig my car out from the piles of snow loading my car & entrapping me in my little alley/hill of a driveway. It's too small for a cleaning truck, & we really have no neighbors to shovel it (we also don't have a shovel ourselves). So, it's up to us to get out. I keep havoing flashbacks to last year, when I was stuck on campus in the snowpocalypse of 2015. Back then, I lived in a dorm & only had to worry about walking to class. This year, I have to worry about driving/walking to class on Monday & driving to work on Tuesday. I would try to get to church, but my roommate & I already decided that we would spend tomorrow trying to digging my car out, instead of risking our lives to drive to church in my sketchy, almost broken down & beat up Kia Sportage. Yeah, let's just say it's a wonder that car survived last snow storm. So, for now, I finished my homework, & my only other responsibility is to enjoy my time off & maybe be more productive later (HUGE maybe!). It's crazy how I can say that I've lived through multiple snow storms. At only 23, I have SURVIVED the snowpocalypse of 2015 & 2016. What?! Crazy! This will be a story I tell my potential kids one day. They won't believe me. But, anyway, I'm getting off on another topic. The point is, I SURVIVED! But I'm still kinda stuck in my house, so I'll update you if I made it out of my house.

If Jonas is currently affecting you, I hope you're safe. Don't go out unless you have to. & in general, I hope everyone has a great week! See ya in the next post!

How's it going 2016?!

Hey yall! Happy 2016! It's strange to think that it's already a new year. I feel like it just turned 2000 like a few years ago, not 16 years. As I was thinking back to 2015, I realized that a lot of things happened. I went to Asia. I got a new job at Kohl's. I rented my first house. I went to my last Encounter. I just did a ton of cool things last year! As far as 2016 goes, I know that big things are gonna happen. I'm going into Methods this semester (next to last semester for education majors). I'm student teaching in the fall. I graduate in December! I'm headed back to NYC with some women, from church, and my roommate for a few days (YAY!). Those are all the things I know of right now, but I have a few goals for this year. I guess you could call them resolutions, but I'm just gonna say goals.

1.  I want to grow more in my walk with Christ.
2.  I want to be a better Bible Study leader, by staying more on top of things, such as discipleship.
3. I want to be less of a procrastinator.
4. I want to watch more movies.
5. I want to read more books.
6. I want to listen to more artists and bands.
7. I want to figure out more of what I want to do in my life. 
8. I want to travel more and go on adventures.
9. I want to learn to be more trusting. 
10. I want to learn a different language/build on languages I kinda know.
11. I want to be more studious.
12. I want to eat a little better.
13. I want to blog more.
14. I want be the best worker I can be.
15. I want to be the best student I can be. 
16. I want to be the best daughter I can be.
17. I want to be the best sister I can be.
18. I want to be the best friend that I can be.
19. I want to be the best disciple I can be.
20. I want to be more social. 
21. I want to be more spontaneous.
22. I want to not be afraid to fail. 
23. I want to get a better car. 
24. I want to get a better computer.
25. I want to learn to budget my money.
26. I want to learn to cook.
27. I want to get on a better sleep schedule.
28. I want to have more quiet times.
29. Lastly, I want to have no regrets.

I know that I won't be able to accomplish these things all this year, and I can't do them all alone. A lot of these goals are long-term goals, while others are short-term goals. But that's the great thing about goals, they're not all the same. As I get older, I want to have things crossed off my list, so that I can add more. 

Here's my question for you: What are some of your 2016/life goals? 

That's all for this post. Hope you have an amazing new year! See ya in the next blog.
