Texas Life after City Girl

janayamancell7 — 2025-01-15 18:38:26 UTC

I lived in Texas for the most amount of my life (9 years). I moved there from florida so the adjusting was a bit hard, but once I did I fell in love with the country and nature. I would often go on ‘adventures’ for hours on the acres upon acres behind my own.

My Boy

Freshman Year Trials

My freshman year was a year of trusting in Gods plan for me. That was the year I packed up my life and moved to Colorado for a better education and environment. I was leaving behind the life I had known most, my animals, and friends.

New School & New Found Faith
