Centerburg Cemetery

Last week I posted about a cemetery I visited known as Eastview Cemetery. This cemetery is directly across the street! This one is much older and was a lot more interesting for me personally to explore. 

This headstone with the woman walking down steps was my favorite in the whole cemetery. It was so beautiful and eerie all at the same time. You don't see as many new headstones like this anymore, at least where I'm from. So it's nice to see something so old still look this lovely.

These headstones were very odd to me. They look like tiny little seats that were carved out of wood. I had never seen stones like this before and they were very interesting!

This cemetery wasn't very big, but it was definitely still fun and interesting to explore. I actually think I might have spent about an hour and a half just walking around and reading the inscriptions and dates on the headstones. There were many detailed headstones that you can tell took a lot of work. I also love that even though this place is extremely old and no longer really used, it still is kept neat and clean.

I can't believe I have lived so close to this cemetery my whole life but have never taken the time to explore and capture it until now. But I'm really happy I did! I wish I could have found more history on it but there wasn't hardly anything I could find.

Walking on Air // 8/13/14

On August 13th I went to a much anticipated, Katy Perry concert in Columbus! I have had the biggest crush on her for years so I was so excited to finally see her live.

We ended up getting to the venue 3 hours early so we had some time to kill.

 We went across the street to a nice restaurant called Boston's Gourmet Pizza. My friend and I ordered this pizza to share, spinach, artichoke, sun-dried tomatoes, and parmesan cheese. It was delicious! 

SHOWTIME, this was the opening performer, Kacey Musgraves. She was a country artist, which I'm not really into but she was very good and I actually really enjoyed some of her songs!

After she performed, it was time for Katy!! (I wish I could have gotten more pictures of more songs, but lets face it. I was waaay too excited to be constantly holding my phone and snapping pictures, sorry!)

This song was "Walking on Air", she floated into the air attached to that cute little cloud. 

These were taken during "Birthday." This song was my favorite that she performed because it was so colorful and fun. She floated around the audience sitting on a seat tied with those balloons and she got really close to where we were sitting so that was very exciting! At the end cannons shot out confetti all over the audience.

This is a panorama of the audience during one of her slower songs, "By the Grace of God". Everyone had their phones out and were waving them in the air so I thought it would make a cool shot.

I wish I would have got more photos but I was just having way too much fun to have my phone out the whole time. There was so many more costumes and themes she had throughout the concert that were amazing and fun. This was honestly one of the best experiences I've had and I would totally do it over again. I can't wait for her to go on tour again because I will DEFINITELY be attending!

What I've Been Up To // P!ATD Concert, New Phone, & Unplanned Hiatus?

On July 30th I got the opportunity to attend a Panic! at the Disco concert in Cleveland and I jumped at the chance! P!ATD has always been one of my all time favorite bands so the thought of seeing them live was so exciting! I was especially excited because their most recent album "Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die" is my favorite ones they have produced so far, (also Brendon Urie...YUM).

Unfortunately, at the time I was still carrying around my cracked iPhone 4, so taking pictures wasn't an option. However, this photo that I found on P!ATD's instagram is from that night! They really put on a wonderful show and I had a blast singing along and dancing to all of their songs. I will definitely be returning to one of their concerts in the future!

I finally got a new iPhone 5s, which was much needed considering the condition of my iPhone 4 that I have had for over 2 years. I'm super excited to have this so now if I see anything while I'm out and about I can snap a quick photo of it, instead of having to carry around my big Canon camera all the time, so look out for more "Follow Me Around" posts!

Most Importantly... 

I want to apologize for the sudden hiatus I seemed to have taken from blogging. It wasn't planned and I didn't really want to take one either. For some reason, lately, my motivation for blogging has seemed nearly nonexistent. I kept logging on and trying to write and I even took some pictures but they all just didn't seem to turn out to my liking. I want to make the best content I can and it's frustrating and difficult when you have so many ideas but you can't seem to portray it onto a blog as you can in your head.

However, I am going to try to get into a better routine so I can start posting more regularly again. I miss making posts and hearing your guys feedback! I just wanted to let you all know that, I didn't forget and I haven't been ignoring this. I have lots of ideas and I'm definitely feeling more determined. 

Thank you all for hanging in there and supporting me! I'm excited to start interacting with you all again.

Graduation, 18th Birthday, Growing Up.

Hello everyone! Sorry I have been a bit MIA. I just haven't been feeling as motivated to write blog posts lately but expect them to be more regular now!

 It's the middle of summer now and a few exciting, big things have happened in the month of June. This summer is moving by so fast and I feel like I need to catch you all up!

This past June I graduated from High School! I feel like I've been ready for it for so long but now that it's actually over with it seems insane! ECOT is a school that is completely online. I started doing online classes in 10th grade and ended up sticking with it for the remainder of my high school career. I really liked it, although it was quite annoying at times! It's just going to be quite weird when I start going to a college campus. It's so odd to think that next Autumn I'm not going back to high school and that this isn't really a summer break for me, it's my life now! It's very intimidating but also very exciting!

These Katy Perry concert tickets were part of my graduation present! I am a huge fan of her and I cannot wait to see her in August!


I also turned 18 on June 22! Time is flying by and being 18 is a very bittersweet, and big birthday! It's one of those birthdays that I think you actually feel, because you start to realize that there are little responsibilities and independence that comes with turning 18 that you didn't have with any other birthday.

Growing up is something that I've always been scared of. I know I'm still extremely young, however realizing that I am out of high school, 18 and going to college next year it's really all becoming real! And it's very exciting. I am looking forward to taking you all on my future journeys!



I will be posing a birthday haul soon, I'm just waiting for a few things to come in the mail!
