the ABCs of me

I got this idea from Sydnee.
It seemed like the perfect way to start the summer. (Sydnee, I really hope you don't mind. If you do, please let me know.)



The first post comes later today. I need to think of some good ones...

one - introduce yourself with pictures and words.

Caroline Grace: A Brief Overview

the facts

age: too old to sit at the kids table, too young to grow up.

height: 5'6''

nickname: Carlie, with an eye ee at the end.

has lived in: two states.

the family

oldest of five + two parents, and my siblings know me best. They remind me of that daily with their insight. Nothing escapes their notice. Also, we're eternal, which rocks.

the goals

Motherhood.

A college degree.

Happiness in family life.

To write a book.
To make friends.

and some random things

I'm very impatient.

I enjoy spinning around in circles in the grass and then falling down and feeling the world spin around me with my eyes closed. It makes me feel like I can control the ground.

I'm crafty and I like cutting things out of magazines.

Autumn is my favorite season.

idea swiped from: sydnee + meg + everyone else who is doing this thirty day blogging thing. I figured it was a good way to get started again.

who am I?

Sometimes I am not sure. I'm a dreamer. I have goals to meet. I dream of life after high school, but also of life during high school. Friendships and relationships pepper my daydreams, and I sprinkle them over reality. I am an individual: a unique version of the seventeen year old girl. I love to love. I love to be loved. Musical fantasies often occupy my thoughts. Singing is my escape, and a way for me to express myself, though not the only way I do so. I talk. A lot. I act. Sometimes I show off. I try to avoid it. I love pretty things. Being a girl is wonderful. Random obsessions sometimes distract me.  I'm smart. Writing gives me a thrill. I love to read and get to know characters in books. I daydream about historical heroes. I use their  examples to make sure I'm living right. I am a girl.
I will succeed.
