my story

Hello, my name is Mary and I'm a fourteen-year-old Christian country girl.  I live with a wonderful family, consisting of 2 parents, and 12 kids. And yes my parents are amazing! And to add to their amazingness, we do homeschool, and I am in 9th grade. But more importantly, I have an awesome Savior. 

I love to read and would rather be curled up with a book than doing school or laundry.( or cooking for that matter!) Though I do enjoy math, most of the time. I also enjoy dancing, English line dancing, and ballet. I go to the best ballet studio with teachers who love the Lord!

My favorite season is autumn, with the beautiful trees, tea, sweaters, lovely pictures of 'raindrops on roses', and cozy afternoons. Next would have to summer though, with the swimming, hiking, walks, runs, and picnics.

I am very organized and love to be cleaning something! I know how crazy that sounds, but it's true! I love to write stories but don't have lots of perseverance to finish them. I am currently writing one I may be able to stick with!:)

I adore horses and would like nothing better than to learn to jump. I think my dream horse would be a gray stallion with a black mane and tail, one white stocking, and three black ones. With a white star on his forehead. ( Every horse should have a star, in my opinion. They're my favorite!)

I love the Renaissance era movies, like 'Emma', 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Sense and Sensibility', and so on, and the home schooler movies, 'Sound of Music', 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers', etc. I love to dance around the house, learn a new piece on the piano, sing, and get something productive done, like a load of laundry, or a batch of cookies, and to read the bible and feel God speaking to me, or to read something encouraging, and know it's from Him. 

I'd like to say I have a favorite book, but no, I don't think I could ever choose just one. Or even ten. Too hard.

Coffee is one of my best friends, and in my family, by the time you're eighteen years old you're a coffee addict. And as for candy, well, if you'd like to have some left over for yourself, don't share with me. Especially if it's skittles or milk chocolate. I could make myself sick on those two. :)

Here are a couple of my favorite quotes:

My life is not crazy or overly busy, but it is an adventure! I am not great at consistently posting, but I try! So anyway, please tell me what you think, and comment! Be sure to leave a link to your blogs! So join me for the adventure, and we'll see what happens!
