My love for healthy cereal is weird.

I found myself having rapid thoughts as I sat down eating my Raisin Bran this morning. It seems like it's been forever since I've had any time at all to blog, so here I am. I have no idea what I want to blog about, though I had over a million this morning. I guess I'll talk about my amazing time at FASC this past weekend. It was a student government conference and over 800 students were in attendance. My most favorite part was the reality of how simply a good leader can change the world. I know I'm only 17, I remind myself this fact often, but I know that if I want to I can really make a difference. When I first started my blog I chose the name Simply Shelby as my title to show myself and everyone that I am a simple girl who has dreams that are simple and defined. I know that my future is anything but clear, but I have a good head on my shoulders that will help get me to a good place. At this conference one of my favorite quotes said was, "Fear makes a coward out of anyone." Often times I find myself being fearful of things I have no control over. As I have gotten older I realize that fear is normal. Well, not excessive fear, like the fear of crinkled paper(which would be odd). Anyways, I am so excited to make my future great and bright. I am not letting anyone stop me (:

    I think this is my favorite of all your posts. You are such a light in this dark world. I feel like as soon as I got called to be the YW pres you were gone from me and I didn't get enough time with you. I wish you all the best things the world has to offer you. And that is really a lot. The world is full of bad things, but even more full of good and great things. Stay strong and of a good courage. You are well on your way to great things!

A Letter to Asher Rae.

Baby Asher, Your momma is currently in labor and in a few hours you'll make your grand debut into this world. From the moment I knew you were coming I was in shock and how much my heart could grow. I work with sweet children all day and I love them so much. The love I already have for you is so different. You'll be the first grandchild of my parents, and you'll be my first ever niece. You're coming into a world that is incredibly hard and difficult. With your amazing parents in your life you'll be taught how to be strong and to be valiant in all circumstances. Your dad, my brother, is an excellent human being. He is dedicated, he is a dreamer, he is a hard worker, and he will be the most amazing father. Your mom is so beautiful. She is loving, she is patient, and she loves your dad so much. Your grandma, my mom, is SO excited for you. She will love you and spoil you, but she will also help you when things get hard. Your Grandma Forsyth is a tough woman. The toughes...

COVID

The world of COVID-19 has been a world I never imagined possible. While this time has taken away so many things I am grateful for the things it has given me. I've found my new normal and for someone who loves structure that has been a huge relief. I don't feel the need to do as much. I don't feel as rushed. I dropped my ipad on the tile today and cracked the screen pretty badly and I didn't even cry. Things have become things and my trips to Target don't seem as crucial anymore. I've been sewing. I thank my grandmas and my aunts for their love of sewing that is now ingrained on my heart. I watch a lot of TV. I do a lot of cooking. Who knew?

Good Ole Sundays

So usually my Sundays consist of the same things: church, lunch, nap, dinner, and homework. Today was not the same, and it has made me crazy. So to start off my lovely Sunday, we only had church for a hour. Some of you may know why, but for others here is the explaination. While our beautiful building is being built, we go to church in 3 metal buildings. Only one of these has decent insulation. Since Florida has decided to become Antartica, it was quite cold, causing us to only have one hour of church and not three. Lunch was wonderful, and was quite normal considering the rest of my day. After lunch I walk back into the kitchen and find my mother humming a lady gaga song. I never understood her amazingness fully until today. So then comes naptime. Oh how I LOVE naptime on Sundays. So I go lay down and start watching tv, and I couldn't sleep. GREAT. Then finally after about 2 hours I fall asleep, and wake up ten minutes later. Just dandy. I was not a happy person to say the least. ...
