First things First.

Hello, I am Nicole. I am going to tell you a little about myself before I begin posting to this blog.

I am a teenager, who is madly and deeply in love. Now, before you run away from here, expecting a hormonal geek fangirling over 1Direction or a boy at school, let me tell you about the one I love.

His name is Jesus Christ and 2000 years ago he came from Heaven to Earth all to save me from the grave. His love is never ending, unfailing, and unconditional. Now, as a regular church-goer when I hear things like that I sometimes skip over them. After all I have heard them a million times. But I shouldn't. You know why? Because it is immensely important. Never ending love? It never runs out. It goes on for all of eternity. Unfailing love? It doesn't need to reload like a page on your computer. It doesn't simply go wrong every now and then. Unconditional love? NO MATTER WHAT I DO, IT DOESN'T STOP. Think about that.

I have a wonderful family. A mother, who cleans, cooks, teaches, drives, and still has a life. She is kind, and wonderful, and the reason I am who I am. She is always there for me when I need her, and she is just so lovely I don't know what I would do without her.

I have a father, who works very hard, day and night to provide for my family. His hours are tough and his work stretches him thin, yet he carries on, keeps going, to take care of us. He is the man of the house, and I respect him. (I respect my mother, too.)

I have a twin sister, with whom I have grown close to over the years of child hood. We have many memories and inside jokes. She is not the type to express her feelings verbally, but I am. I love her, and I am not afraid to remind her of this often. No matter how many times she mumbles when I tell her.

I have a dog, who is a Maltese/Chihuahua mix. She is the cutest little thing, she is kind and loves to snuggle. She guards our house with her little yips and squeaks and yelps.

I have two cats, a mother and son combo. The mother is gray with dapples of white and black. She is a manx, which means she was born without a tail. She hunts like it is no ones business and enjoys bringing us her 'presents'.

The son is a buff colored lard ball. He reminds my family of the generic 30 year old video game nerd who lives in his mother's basement. But we love him anyway. He has a half tail because his father had a whole tail but his mother had none. It makes him unique.

This, my friends, is my family. And I thank God all the time for putting me with them, because they put up with me everyday and they love me.

I also have a few hobbies. I like to sing and write songs. I started this when I was around nine years old. I am homeschooled, and had a note book for studying botany. However, being like any child in school I avoided doing my actual schoolwork. Thus began my first song book. I must be honest and tell you, some *clears throat* well most of the songs in there are horrendous. However, the more I write the better I get. I cannot read music, so I only write the lyrics and I just remember the tune in my mind or I record it on my phone.

I also like to do photography. I got my love for taking photos about a year ago when the neighbor kids came over with a professional dslr camera. I was only able to take a few pictures on it before they took it back, but since then I was hooked. I received my Nikon soon after begging for a while, on Christmas day, 2013. Since then I have been in two photography classes, including the one I am still in. Check out my photography blog at weirdowithacamera.BlogSpot.com .

I also enjoy being lazy, spending my time on Netflix and Instagram while stuffing my face with chocolate and Cheetos. Okay, I may not be obsessed with 1Direction, but I am still a teenager.

I have some close friends, including my very best friend, with whom I have many memories and stories. I love her very much and I enjoy growing up with her. It is fun to see how we both develop in Christ.

I also have many blossoming friendships with people who I already love so very much.

I am a bit of a weirdo, but I am me and I love me, so I am okay with it.

I have wanted to start a blog for a while, so I guess now I have. I am looking forward to it! So I guess that is all for now. Thanks for letting me try out the wonderful world of the web.

 I suppose that is all for right this moment, but I will be back soon :)
