Autumn.

      Fall weather, color of the leaves, bonfires, halloween, pumpkins, scarves, sweaters, jeans, haunted houses, thanksgiving. I love absolutely everything about fall. It's my favorite time of the year. I love cuddling in a blanket and having a nice cup of coffee and reading a good book. I love raking the leaves with my little sister and jumping in them. I love going to the pumpkin patch. There is nothing about fall to not love.

I'm not a huge arts and crafts fan, but I love to do it when I'm extremely bored. This is something I did at the end of the summer and I love it.

Stress. Stress. Stress.

Stress is currently taking over my life. Its only September and I'm already stressed with school. During the week is all about school and work. No free time. Except when I go to youth group on Wednesday nights, which I'm extremely thankful for. I do school from 8:30-4:30 and then go to work from 5-8 and then come home and do more school until I go to bed. You may ask why I take so much time doing school. Well, ever since elementary school I have been a very good student. Freshman year of high school I began to have a lot of struggles in my life and my grades started dropping. Freshman and Sophomore year sometimes I would have that I don't care, this is dumb, kind of attitude. Other times I would constantly beat myself up until I got my grades up. It Junior year and it started out difficult because I'm new to this whole online school thing.  But now my grades are my top priority. It is extremely important to me that I get good grades. I want to get into college. And I want to be successful in my life. I keep telling myself I'm going to work, work, work until I get great grades. And I have found that when I have good grades and I know I am working hard, it makes me feel a whole lot better. Its just the stress that's attacking me. Hopefully after I get all caught up and on track then I will feel good and not have any stress weighing on my shoulders.

School.

Alright. So I've been getting a lot of questions about where I go to school? haha well I'm not suprised. I've switched 5 schools since freshman year. I pretty much say, "At my house." haha yeah its true. I'm doing online school so I'm just home most of the time. I will sometimes go to the library or go to my grandparents so I can get out of the house and change the scenery a little bit. Its definitely different considering that I've been going to public school most of my life. But I have to say, its pretty awesome. I love it. The thing I don't like about it, is that I don't get to see my friends everyday. But online school is awesome!
Wish me luck finishing the rest of the school year!

Best Friends

These girls are my best friends. We've been buddies since we were divas in diapers. I'm in the middle. Breanna is the short one on the left:) haha. and Rachel is the tall one on the right:) We've gone through everything together. They are always there for me and they have never given up on me. I am so blessed to have these girls as my best friends. They keep me in line and on track. Over the past couple years we have grown incredibaly close. All three of us have had many struggles and we are keeping each other going. I love that we can be best friends and have fun, laugh, and be crazy, but also we can cry together, pray with each other, and have deep talks. I love these girls to death and I'm so blessed to have them a part of my life. Love you girls!

Family.

This is my family.
There are 6 of us in my immediate family.
Well you're probably thinking, but there's 8 of you there.
This picture was taken this last February for my Mama Bear's 100th Birthday. Mama Bear is my great grandma. Next to her is my mom. Behind my mom is my little sister, Audrey. Then in the back row, (right to left) we've got my little brother, Hayden, my dad, me, Faith(Drake's girlfriend), and my older brother, Drake. Drake and Faith have been dating for 3 years. She is pretty much family. She's like an older sister. Drake is in his freshman year in college. It is definatly different without him. He is always there for me and has helped me get through the toughest times. Hayden has taught me a lot. He has taught me to love my family unconditionally. He loves me as I am, even when I've made mistakes. I love when Hayden and I can be total dorks and can be totally serious if we need to be. Audrey has brought so much joy to my life. She is so hilarious and she knows how to entertain me. She has also taught me that there's going to be trials in our lives but we just have to stay strong. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just before she turned 2 years old. It is a battle 24/7. It hurts me to see her so irritated about having to live with this disease. But she has showed me that sometimes you just have to accept things and be strong. As for my parents, I don't know what I would do without them. I know sometimes I don't treat them with respect and I take advantage of them. But they are always there for me and they always know what's best for me even when I don't like it. My family is the best and I don't know what I would do without them.

Me.

Alexis Kathryn. I go by Lexie. I’m 16 years old. Brunette. Blue eyes. 5 foot 8 inches.

Music. Music. Music. If you ask me what my favorite thing is, with no hesitation, I would say music. I’ve been taking piano lessons for 11 years. I used to play the violin for 4 years, and the guitar for 3 years. If you look at my ipod and look to see what I listen to, you would see under my favorites would be The Beatles, The Fray, Mumford and Sons, Nevershoutnever, A Day to Remember, Between the Trees, etc. Since preschool, I’ve been to 9 different schools. Currently I am enrolled in online school. Its definatly different, but its working. I love my youth group. They have been there for me through absolutely everything and they haven’t given up on me.

God is my number one.

Family and friends comes next.

Then everything else.
