This is a Goodbye.

It's New Years Eve. It seems like a good day to write something like this.

After a year or so of fun, it's about time for me to be done with Dreaming In Color. In the last months I haven't had nearly as much time to keep it up, and my interests are moving on to other things. So I've decided it's time to quit blogging. Maybe not permanently, but for now and on this blog at least.

So on this last post, I thought I would catch us up to where I am today.

Well...

I still absolutely love journaling. I also love writing. It's my way of looking back on life in a new way, as words on paper. Reading is also one of those things I still adore in my free time. If you see me typing on the keyboard, holding a book, or writing in a journal, you can assume I'm happy.

Music. Oh, music. How much I've come to appreciate it. I've always loved playing some instrument, singing, or listening to it. But now it's become like the air. It's something I need to keep breathing. I've gotten into songwriting a little. Trust me, don't expect anything amazing anytime soon, but writing lyrics and melodies just for myself keeps me in a good mood. I've also picked up the ukulele recently which has been quite fun. And when I'm not playing or writing something, I've got my ear buds in. I relate to lyrics so easily, and they really do help me get through life. All those happy times and hard times, songs are there for me in every situation and right when I need it the most. That's just part of the reason I love listening to music so much.

Well, that's about it. This is me. I'm not perfect. I'm still awkward. But I think I'll be just okay.

Thanks for reading for all the months you have! I can't wait to see what else is to come in the future.

Goodbye, and good luck in the new year!

He is jealous for me,

Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,

Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy.

When all of a sudden,

I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,

And I realize just how beautiful You are,

And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us so,

Oh, how He loves us,

How He loves us so.

I'm Back World!

Hello.
I know it's been forever since I've written. Summer was completely busy, but I'm sure the school year will be even busier. With college classes and Chemistry already started, and basketball practice coming in less than 2 months, yes, it'll only get busier from here. But now that we're here, I thought I'd reminisce in summer vacation memories and photos.

Rocking chairs!

This is the house in North Carolina we stayed at. It was nice, and overlooked lots of mountains and trees.

Earlier this year I went tubing a billion (Okay, maybe like 5) times on youth trip. Ever since then I kind of loved tubing... and on a freezing lake surrounded by mountains, it was fun. Here I am about to stand up, which I eventually completed, but sadly only got blurry pictures of.

I also went zip lining. Which was way too short, but awesome. The only scary part was when I was standing up on a platform, 40 ft in the air, and the guide says 'Okay, just jump off'... and I probably gave her a strange look.

Besides that, we also went white water rafting on the Nantahala river. Rafting is exciting, and wet.

...and after the mountains, we settled in Atlanta, GA for a couple of days. It rained too much for good pictures, but the city was pretty fun.

And here we are now, a few weeks later, sitting at home blogging while I'm supposed to be studying Chemistry. I can find every reason in the world not to do Chemistry today. I even went on a run in 90 degree weather... because seriously, who want to memorize the periodic table when there's so many better things to do with you time? To quote my chemistry teacher, "You'll use the periodic table in whatever career you go into as long as it's not something like History or Journalism." Oh great. If you didn't already know, I'm planning on studying journalism. I can see I have a bright future ahead of me. ;)

Summer Photo Challenge

I've been wanting to do a photo challenge forever, and I've finally decided I'm just going to do it. I got this one off Pinterest. Every so often I'll post my photos from these days so you can see my progress. I think it'll be lots of fun! If you do a photo challenge this summer, I'd love to hear about it! Oh, and by the way, I'm starting this one tomorrow even though it is designed for July. It doesn't hurt to start early. ;)

The Last Days In Photos

Hello.

I've been meaning to write for forever, but got busy with stuff.

Anyways, I've been having a lovely 'Spring Break'. While everyone seems to be doing something awesome with this week off, I've been doing school. But that's okay. It's still been pretty fun. So here's what I've been up to when I'm not doing school: (just a note, some of the pics. are a little blurry)

I've been outside all the time these past few days. The weather's been so brisk and refreshing compared to our usual Florida spring weather, so I've enjoyed the fresh air.

A big debate is coming up for me at my homeschool group. My teacher has called it 'The All-Star Debate' because it's the highest scoring people against each other in a 2 vs. 2 debate. I have 13 minutes of speaking, so that leads me to do lots of planning...

I've been journaling like always. I took this photo zoomed into some words on some random page, so I honestly have no idea what I was writing about. Recently I've been writing about awkward random thoughts that happen to come into my head. My journals are going to be seriously interesting to read someday...

Colored jeans!!! YAY! You can't see the color too well in this photo, but they're plumb colored and amazing. ;)

Monopoly: The game you play when you have 20 minutes to waste, but you instead end up playing 2 hours.

I finally learned how to Ripstik! I'm so happy about that! I also completed one of my goals. Anyways, it's awesome. It's fun. And for someone with no sense of balance, it actually went pretty well.

On rare occasions, when I'm extremely bored I draw video game characters. They're easy enough to draw, and pretty fun. This is Toon Zelda. I don't even know what video game she is in, but I decided to draw her. Soon I'll add color and post when I'm done... a work in progress...

Finally, I've been shooting and dribbling a generous amount. If I want to improve by next basketball season, I'm starting now. Being the worst on my team really pushed me to work harder during the season, so I might as well get a head start for the next one.

...and there you have it. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

<3,

Brooke
