Two truths & a lie...

So as most of you know, I've started my second semester of college! Boy, am I excited!!! :)



I can't even express to you all how much I'm loving school. Taking 3 years off was probably the BEST idea I've ever had because unlike most people, I am EXCITED to go to school and SO PUMPED to do homework!


Speaking of homework, this morning I logged into my online class (Creative Writing) to see what I was up against. Now most of my friends know that if you give me anything that has to do with writing, I am SO NOT going to be excited about it and I probably won't take it seriously. I took English 111 last semester and even though I passed, I definitely was not too happy to be taking it. Writing is just not my forte. I am all about math and science!! So WHY I decided to take this creative writing class, out of all my choices, is beyond me! However, I realized today why I'm taking it. I LOVE TO BLOG! I love to write about random things. I enjoy babbling about my life and things I've been through.

As I was looking at my homework for this class, I saw that we had to do a discussion board regarding two truths and a lie about ourselves and next week our peers would be guessing which two are truths and which is a lie. For some reason I had the hardest time coming up with a lie, and I'm not sure why. I think it's because I just couldn't make something up and have it sound believable. So I came up with this... 

I am 21 years old and I have 4 kids. They are the happiest bunch of kids and they warm my heart just by smiling! They're all so different, but so much alike. I absolutely love spending time with them!

Now let me break this down for you...
I REALLY am 21 years old.
I do NOT have 4 kids, but I DO nanny 4 kids!
They truly are happy kids and they definitely warm my heart when they smile. :)
They really are super different, but have some similarities. 
I DO love spending time with them.

I'm not sure if it was ALL supposed to be a lie, but as you can tell... I'm horrible with lies! I couldn't even tell a WHOLE lie. Only one thing wasn't true! 


So crazy.
I dare you to try it yourself. See if you can come up with two truths and a lie about yourself and I'd love for you to share them with me and I'll try to figure them out! :) I CHALLENGE YOU!


That's all, folks.<3
HAPPY JANUARY!

 January:
Well now that all of my favorite shows have returned, school hasn't started quite yet, and Young Life hasn't started, I've been updating my music religiously and listening to my Beatz headphones like crazy. Along with that, I've been extrememly lazy after work and watching my laptop like a hawk. :)


I really just want to leave you all with this....
Greater things are still to come and greater things are still to be done..... think about it. :)
