Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope your day was filled with lot's of love family memories and of course remembering why we celebrate Christmas! (:

I had a wonderful day, {though a bit early...} It started out great but as the day wore on, all three of my sisters got sick. Poor things, I felt bad, what a horrible day to get sick! I'm hoping they are feeling better in the morning. (:

 And I'm hoping I don't come down with something, I can feel something coming and that wouldn't be to good either ;)

A later post will follow with pictures of what I got I am about ready to crash here in a second, I just wanted to post something on this happy day!

Anyway, I hope you have all remembered Jesus today! {everyday really, but this is His birthday}

I've been so busy lately...I'm hoping things settle down but it's not looking like that. Hope you all have a great night!

I made this real quick for you so I could have something for today...

Friday's {Saturday's} Ramble

Well I see I'm a day late....I guess that's not unusual for me.

That's ok because there are no rules in the Blog world!

If I could only find my camera cord, I promise I'd have a dozen pictures on here...but I don't so I only have the Christmas pictures I took of my sister. {some are in my header, yes the one that is smaller than I wanted it to be...}

It was really fun, even though my camera really doesn't do what I want it to do. Especially since my little sister dropped it...I'm just glad it still works.

Anyway Christmas is coming up! And tomorrow I'm going Christmas shopping with one of my closest friends!

And I'm texting her right now, It's so funny the conversations you have with your friend...I know you know what I mean

Anyway it finally snowed! isn't that awesome? it has to be my sister, she has so much faith in things like that she would have prayed up 'till Christmas morning for snow...I'm so glad God made it snow for her(:

If you have wondered about my decision about giving my iPod to my sisters, it hasn't changed. I still feel like I need to, I know I'm really going to miss it..haha I know that it's just a thing but you can't help but want it right?

Nothing much has been going on around here...just baking, and decorating, oh and I just finished school for my break! ahh feels good. [:

So those are just a few of the few photo's I shot. I'm really wanting a new camera but it doesn't look like that will be happening anytime soon. Photography is such an amazing thing, and I love the feeling of getting the shot that I want. My camera just isn't doing that since the fall it hasn't been working right and maybe the camera just wasn't made for what I like to photograph...I'm looking into the Nikon D3100, what are your thoughts? And again this won't be happening for quite some time, that's ok, I love dreaming.<3

Oh and I have my hear in socks! I'm really hopin' this turns out to be curly...and I suggest to you who have long hair to consider learning how to do the Sock Bun. It makes good curls too. [:

xoxo,

Friday's Ramble

God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and of a sound mind. ~2 Timothy 1:7

  

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

  Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things.~ Philippians 4:6-8

I don't know about you, but that encourages me. I don't think I get afraid that often, and I don't remember if I did, but let's just say I learned that God is in control in a whole new perspective. I just want to say one more thing before I change the subject.

 

God is real. and He loves you.

I just blew your mind didn't I? But seriously, I know {because I do it sometimes} that sometimes people tend to take God for granted, or not realize how much God loves us, and wants to spend time with us.  Ponder on that for a moment(:

Changing the subject now...This will be a short post because I have to get ready to go babysit and spend the night with my cousins.

And how could I forget my Friday's Ramble? (;

I don't think I'll ever get over how fast time is passing. I can actually remember writing last Friday's post, and it seems like it was literally 2 days ago. Bittersweet...

*{Christmas photos soon!}*

Happy Fri-Day!

Finally I get some free time! {actually, it isn't free time, I really should be doing school right now} It's been a long time since I’ve had a little time to myself.

This post is probably going to have a bunch of short paragraphs of awesomely random things, and this is probably going to turn out to be my "Friday's Ramble" *gasp* I just had an idea! In the middle of my post! {more like the beginning} Now you'll get to see a post every Friday!

So, December is here, oh and Happy Late-Thanksgiving! I was hoping I could get some time to write a post but my parents decided that we weren't going to do any media that weekend. I was ok with that, just a little bummed because I wanted to write a post.

And guess what? I still don't have any batteries for my camera! So I'm getting low on pictures...

Anyway, I am so glad that time is going by fast, I'm already almost on my 13th week in school and Christmas is almost 3 weeks away. I guess you could say I'm an impatient person haha.

Oh! My parents and I are watching this really cool new show called Once Upon a Time. You can watch it online HERE. It's a really cool show and you should watch it! ;)

So it finally snowed last night! Usually it will snow in the latest early November. But here we are December 2, and it just snowed! Oh well, I'm just glad we have some now. (:

I wish I could write this super long post about all that’s happening, but that's gonna have to wait for a later date. Hopefully not to late.

Does any of you have a friend when one of you say something and you both laugh, it automatically turns into an inside joke? And at the present you have 10 books worth of inside jokes just waiting to be written? And when you try to think of one you just cant? Ahhh good times. We even have an inside joke, about inside jokes. that's a bit crazy if you ask me..

I know not very many people read this blog anymore, but if you happen to stumble across it, could you leave a comment so I know someone is reading it, haha I'm sure this is just God helping me with my patience. But what's the point of writing a blog if you don't have anybody to read it? 

Anywho, I need some help on gift ideas for my brother and my mom. And I'd like to know if any of you have a favorite quote that you'd like to share...

hahaha if you look at this post over again, you can see how unorganized I am. You probably saw that while you were reading. I just realized it now...in four paragraphs I talked something about time, the first, third, fifth, and seventh. lol :P I hope you like that kind of thing, because I think I'm getting better at it...

Have a good Friday!

"It's the most wonderful time of the year.."

Hehe I have Christmas songs stuck in my head because our radio station is already playing Christmas music! Yep I'm lovin' it! Though it does seem kind of early...and fall is leaving kind of quickly...and don't tell my sisters that I'm planning on giving them my ipod for Christmas.

Yes, it will be hard.

No, I really don't want to.

But that right there is telling me that I need to. I know I can live without it, and I'll be getting a new one someday.

"But....

But what? 

I don't know, just hesitating i guess. 

Then do it!

Okay...I will! *lifts chin, and squares shoulders*

Good. :] "

I've had that conversation in my head a lot. But I've come to the conclusion that it's just a thing, I don't need it. So, no big deal! writing it all out helps me sometimes and putting it on my blog reminds me.

In church my pastor had this series about giving, and that everything's Gods, He just gives it to us to take care of and all that awesome sauce. But when He wants it back, I have to listen and respect that it's not mine. And if He wants my sisters to be intrusted with it then go ahead, let them have it for awhile. besides it's just an ipod!  right?! haha, I have other stuff, and i have more money than them. so i can buy a new one someday..:]

Anyway enough about that.

I got asked to go to my Aunts house for 6 weeks! {yea!!} Driving, she lives 16 hours away, so I'd fly. woot woot! I think it'd be super fun to do that.

Oh and I'm getting my haircut tomorrow! My hair used to be {like in my header, wait. it's in black&white. never mind ;) } light/medium brown, long, and no layers. But I colored it dark dark brown and I'm getting layers and awesome stuff like that, don't you just love haircuts? I certainly do.

I can't believe how fast time is going by.

like. literally. flown. by. 

As in it used to be Monday last week. 
And "I just posted a blog post" "No, actually you posted it like 12 days ago"
And it's already November and I'm in my 10th week in school.
Or Christmas is in like 49 or 48 days when it used to be 365 days away. Need I say more?

One more thing before i pull myself away from this computer-- I really think a time like this calls for some sour starbursts ;] sounds amazing right? yep yep you're right! 

Hope y'all have a great day!
with love,

School, family, my room, pretty much just catching up. ;]

So It's been a while since my I've really been blogging, why did I start back up you ask? Well, honestly, I missed it. a lot. At first it was fine, and I enjoyed the break (because we all know that sometimes blogging {if done to much} can almost become a chore. sometimes) anyway after a while I started missing it and wanted to start back up again.

Okay, now that you know why I've started back up again, I have some catching up to do! My poor little blog probably missed me and wants to know how I am, ;]

I'll start with school. It's going pretty good, it's been kinda hard keeping up with all of it I've been helping my mom a lot and have started to get behind.. but I can't say I like it. But don't necessarily dislike it. PE is pretty much the only thing I dread. Well I don't dread it as much anymore because my dad, brother, and I are doing this 60 day program called "Insanity" it's pretty insane and I have to wake up (most days) at 5:55a.m. to do it, but it feels good :]

My family is doing well, Linnea is growing way to fast and I wish she'd stop. I remember when she was like 3 weeks old, now she's almost 16 months. :)

I'm redoing me room, I'm so excited because It just got painted! Paris white on top and Sandblast on the bottom (Paris white is a very light pink and sandblast is one shade darker,  with white trim in the middle of the wall.) I'm going for a vintage-y look, I want my room to be as light colored as possible. Pictures will soon come! Right now my camera has no batteries and we don't have any in this house..bummer.

 I'm surprised on how well this turned out for being taken from my phone. haha the camera is really bad on there, but with a little editing it turned out better than I thought it would.

My photos are a little blurry, ugh, those up there were one of my firsts though.
I do believe winter is coming sooner than I thought! It's getting really cold and I think the weather said middle of November? I don't remember, crazy though, came so fast. Makes me want a pair of moccasins.

But of course that means Christmas, and I just can't understand it when people think it's to soon. Doesn't make sense, you get it once an year and it's been exactly a year. But people be who people be. And I personally love Christmas. :]

Well for now I'm going to end this little post, so I can get back to my schoolwork. Hope everyone who reads this feel blessed {and comments}.
