4th of July Weekend!

Hello friends! I hope you all had a wonderful July 4th! This year was a busy one, for sure! On Thursday, my cousins from South Carolina (shout out to Kaitlin and Tara, the same cousins from this post ;)) came in town, and we spent pretty much the entire weekend with them. On Friday, they came over to my grandparents, and we spent *a lot* of time on the golfcarts, plus we fulfilled the new tradition of the trailer ride to the Farmer's Market, this time with my uncle driving the tractor, and my cousins' dad driving behind us for safety. Friday night, we had a bonfire in my grandparents' field, and Tara and I went to pick up pizzas from Pizza Hut (where is your favorite place to get pizza? My entire family agrees Pizza Hut is the best), and then we made s'mores. We also had sparklers, which we were able to get some cool pictures with! My uncle, who had also came in town from SC, had to leave Saturday morning, so we drove over to my grandparents to see him one more time before he left. Once he left, we spent the rest of the day with my cousins. That night, my Nana and Mama fixed a wonderful meal of steaks, baked potatoes, summer vegetables, and air-fried onion rings. For dessert we had one of my favorites: peaches n' cream. Late that night, we came home, where fireworks were being set off about 4 places around us. All firework shows in NC were canceled this year, and so many of our neighbors were setting off fireworks. From a certain spot in out front yard, we could see one set extremely well. Yesterday (Sunday), we went to church that morning, and then headed back over to my great-grandmother's house to hang out with my cousins until they left around lunchtime. The rest of the day was spent playing video games, and then that night I went to pick up fast food for supper. It was a fun-filled weekend! Tomorrow, my sister and I will be going with my Grandma to Jellystone National Park in VA for four days with my cousins. I feel incredibly blessed to live in a free country where men and women protect us and keep us safe. My prayer is that God continues to bless us with His presence in our country, and that more people in America will find the truth of Jesus! Thank you all for supporting me for almost two months now!

We had so much fun at the bonfire!

    How fun! My family does not all agree on the best pizza place, though we all agree Little Caesars (the chees is gross, the sauce tastes like ketchup, the crust tastes like cardboard, and it's usually cold) is the WORST, and most of us don't care for Pizza Hut as the pizza is really greasy. I like Dominoes the best and my second favorite is Papa John's. :D :P

      Yes, I agree that Little Caesars is definitely the worst! Although, I have never gotten their pizza cold before (eww) kinda goes against their saying, "hot n' ready!" Dominoes was my favorite for a very long time! We don't get Papa John's very often, but I like it! Thanks for commenting, Hannah

    Papa John's is the BEST. Okay, so I haven't really tried much pizza besides local restaurants and Casey's gas station and Little Caesars (both are horrible!). Frozen, box pizza is good to me, though.

      Papa John's is good, but Pizza But is better😜 I think it's pretty much unanimous that Little Caesars is the worst pizza, lol😂

Q&A!!

So, my lovely new friend, Sarah Grace, gave me a very good idea for a blog post! A Q&A!! I am super excited about this! Also, Ellen from  Ellen's Musings  is doing one at the same time, so that should be fun to do it alongside her! However, she is also doing assumptions, so that is extra cool! Ask me questions in the comments below, and I will be answering them next Thursday! Please don't ask me my birthday, but pretty much all other questions are good to ask (if one happens to be too personal, I just won't answer it). Have fun! Also, I know some people might be a little confused on how to pronounce my name, lol. It's pronounced like "Kaylee" NOT "Calley." I know, it is different, but I like it! Btw, my Dad wanted to spell it Caelea (My mom vetoed that, lol) My middle name would have made that spelling even more confusing then it already is (heyyyyy that's a question you can ask "What's your middle name" ;))

Top 7 Questions Homeschoolers Are Asked

 Hey y'all! As most of y'all know by now, I am homeschooled, and have been my entire life. I've gotten A LOT of questions about being homeschooled. This post is meant to be funny, and there is absolutely no shade meant to be thrown on anyone!! Please don't take these too seriously! Here are my Top 7 Questions Homeschoolers Are Asked. 1. How do you have a social life/Do you have friends? Surprisingly, I get this one all the time.  I really don't understand. Yes, I have friends!! Church is a great way to meet people. If you play sports, there's another way (and yes, before you ask, homeschoolers do play sports.) to meet great people. Also, if you have friends of friends, often times you meet the nicest people that way. 2. Do you get to do school in your pajamas? This has many different answers depending on who you talk to. For me personally, I do not wear my pajamas to school because I have to get up, get ready, and be downstairs to start school by 8:00. But ye...

I'm Back!!

Hey y'all! I sincerely apologize for not posting for almost 3 months . Has it really been that long? Yes, yes it has. I did not intend on abandoning this blog for that long, but here we are, two and a half months later. I just now have seen the comments asking where I'm at, and I apologize for not responding to those. However, I am back and I don't intend on being gone that long again. Thank you so much for your patience!  So, where have I been? Well, to be honest, I've been living my life. Nothing drastic happened, and I celebrated my seventeenth birthday a couple months ago :). I really don't have an explanation as to why I haven't posted, but I am sorry! I had no idea the last time I posted that it would be the last time for quite awhile. Sheesh!! I plan on posting more "devotional" type posts in the future, so stay tuned :). School has been quite busy these days, and I got behind at one point, so I am just now *finally* getting caught back up.  Y...
