Big Day, Game Day

 Today is the big game. My boyfriend and I go to schools about twenty minutes away from each other. We are arch-rivals. They kick our butts at football, and we kill them at soccer. Basketball is toss up. Today is the big football game. We lost. But I went and supported my team anyway.



I need to work on a better camera set up.

Welcome to the Adventure


Something that gets you started:
Hope   [hōp]
Noun: A feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.

Something that gets you through:
Love   [luhv]
Noun:        A profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.


Something to stive for:
Grace    [ˈgrās]
Noun:        Disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency



Naming a blog is one of the most challenging things I've done in awhile. I've been pondering over a title for about two weeks. You strive for something unique to who you are, and who you will be when you keep writing a few years from now. Something short but gets the message across. I tried to think of something witty to no avail.  So, I began thinking of something I had, have, and hope to have. 


Hope, hope runs abundant in youth. The sky is the limit and tomorrow is going to be the best day ever


Love, love simply encompasses my life right now. I moved four hours away, largely to follow the love of my life. As a settle into my major I think of career paths and focusing on what I love to do. Now seems to be the time to follow love, follow passion, where ever that takes me. 


Finally grace, grace is a word that can describe all of my role models. Women who I strive to be like and would like to emulate have a grace in how they walk, talk, their actions- everything. As my teenage years are quickly coming to a close, only a few weeks left, I still feel like a dorky teenager with braces and not comfortable in my own skin. I think this will come with time and experience and striving to embody my ideas of grace and kindness. 


Holding onto these three words help guide me. And now they will help guide through my newest adventure, this blog!

Love always,
Alli Nicole
