the fourteenth

                       
   
                                 I worked all day preparing a special dinner for my family.
       Special thanks to all my siblings who helped decorate,ran and got little things for me.
                                    And a thank you to my friend Desiree for the inspiration.
  













                                                             My pretty rose from my Daddy








A blurry photo of everyone.
My family adon't exactly getting their photo taken especially at dinner. ;)

                                  Special gluten pizzas for those that don't have allergies.

We all enjoyed the meal just chilled did our Bible reading and finished up the night with an episode from our families new favorite tv show Bonanza.

roses are red // outfit post

                                                    Happy 1 hour 38 minutes early Valentines Day!!
                              


(love my new wedge heels)
 
gray shirt// Sears
red shrug// My mom made it//'handmade quality'
tan flower skirt// Thrift store me thinks.
 
black belt// Weat Seal
brown shoes// Shoe Carnival
purity ring//gift from my parents
 
My Daddy for my 18th birthday took me out for dinner ( I had fun dressing up for my 'date') and gave me this purity ring as symbol for His love for me and a commitment to my purity.
Such a special moment.
The ring reads "True Love Waits  1Timothy 4:12" it then has my birthstone color (deep purple).

And as I promised photos of my new haircut with a before picture to start.
 
 
Before:
                                                           

                                                                           After:

 
I like it.... I think.......its just hard to get used to and to figure out how to style it since I have bangs now.
 
The haircut was part of my birthday gift (along with the ring).
 
The rest of my birthday was pretty special too.
 
I woke up to a beautifully decorated bedroom by my lil' sister.
                 
This photo totally doesn't justify it. She also did my bunk bed like the closet... with a snowflake sandwich (middle contents was my gift) and a card dangling too. It put me in such a cheerful mood for that day. ;) Thank you Lydia.

         After my haircut my mom and I went to starbucks and I know some of you will be like 'what?!' when I tell you I've never got anything from starbucks before.
 I tasted my brothers carmel salted mocha or something once (I didn't like it), but this carmel chocolate thing (that didn't have any coffee in it) was amazing!!!

           Other then my date with my Dad, this angel food cake and an amazing dinner that my mom put ALOT of effort into that was my birthday in one post!
 
What do you think of my haircut? Any suggestions?

just 18




  On Feb. 7th I turned 18.....an adult.
I feel well...old to be honest,but also ready to take on the world!
   I cannot believe how God has blessed me these past 18 years of life.
I have the most amazing parents.
8 awesome siblings,one of which I'm trying to forgive for she will be missing my graduation this coming spring because shes moving herself along with my nephew and nieces all the way to Sweden for 2 years or more. *pouty face* (darn brother-in-laws international work.)
Thank goodness for skype.
    


p.s. got a haircut and somehow managed to get bangs without asking (scary) for them.
Pictures coming soon! Just don't unfollow this blog after you see me please. :p

Mikaela- Junior


My dear friend agreed to let me drag her outside into the cold to pose for a few photos for me. I have such an awkward time posing people,so thanks Mik for putting up with that! She is definitly a photogenic person.  Once I get my portrait lens I might drag her out again,hopefully a warmer day will be available.


Correction: My friend is actually a Junior,so yeah,shes not a sophomore,that was my bad.


















































           Thank you Mikaela for being a great model and posing for me out in the very cold wintery day!
