Sweet Summer is FINALLY here!

I am an official graduate of Columbia High School, class of 2011. As weird as this sounds, trust me it feels much weirder. I will no longer endure 5 minutes to get to class, worrying about what I'm going to make myself for lunch each day, and the unnecessary yelling in the hallways. Summer is finally here and I am reminded daily of why it is one of my favorite things in the world. There is nothing like laying out in the sun(thinking I'll get more tan when everyone knows that won't happen), and sleeping in. There have been a lot of "favorites" so far this summer so here are just a few:
1. iPhone 4. You and yoiur simple beauty have become one of my favorite objects. "Betty" is amazing and I wonder why I ever loved my Droid so much. I'm an addict to my phone.
2. This next one isn't so happy, but still hilarious now. Have you ever seen 7 people break a staircase? I have. I was one of the 7. It's a long story, but if you want to know just look at the pictures on Facebook or ask me. (:
3. My two best friends chasing their dreams. Katherine went to Guatemala for a week and found her relationship with God increase. Francis went to Hawaii and learned that she missed me more than she thought ;) She is moving into her dorm Wednesday and I will be there to support and love her during the whole process. She amazes me with her strength and her wonderful advice. I am a very lucky girl to have such amazing friends.
4. Day at Girls Camp. Hannah Jo and I went to camp for a day and we realized just how much we LOVED our years at camp. It was fun talking with the leaders and remembering past camp memories.

Summer is just hardly here, and I can already tell it will be one of my most memorable. Utah, Shelby is coming in July!

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. ...
