what songs have you been listening to?? :)

saturday randoms {well now its sunday}

I didn't finish this post on saturday, SO. just pretend its saturday when you're reading this and we'll be good.

 

obviously i didn't do tumblr Thursday or Friday favorites. fail. that was due to the fact that i wasn't feeling well{big surprise i know} and that if i did feel well i worked on school and then if i did get to blog i wanted to post about a certain song AND our Internet and phone went out yesterday around 3pm. thankfully it was fixed earlier this am around 9am. i didn't realize just how much i use the Internet! but i/we survived. mom mentioned to dad that we felt a bit Amish though ;) hehe.

anywho, here I am. i'm not going to catch up on tumblr thursday or friday favorites though. this post is going to be some random thoughts of mine ;)
First of all, I'm loving this song. loving.

I love the way You love like no other
It's got nothing to do with anything that I do
Time and time again You forgive me
So this time I choose to stay here with You

i desire to be able to not get over Jesus.

--Have you all heard of/been to the blog Boho Baby Bump? no you haven't? well get over there right now. Its a lovely blog by a beautiful momma who loves her sweet family and Jesus, has fabulous taste in style and has such an inspiring outlook and love on life. On wednesday she posted a super sweet video announcing the news that she is pregnant! {read this post and you'll see why this pregnancy is extra special.} I'm SO excited for them! :) 

--I'm showing signs of the fact that I'm watching lots of Monk and Numb3rs episodes. Like the other day my mom said something about Asia maps and i thought she said "Agent Eppes is coming." yeahh and then my mom and I are just taking on some of Monk's traits. such as opening public doors with our sleeves randomly or straightening out signs{my mom was walking by a counter at the library and she fixed a crooked display.} its NOT obsessive and most of the time we do it out of fun but sometimes we do things that Monk would do without even thinking.

--a tweet from Thursday: confession-- i just drooled on my algebra paper. i was looking at pictures of Thor on tumblr. mmhm. ~i have no words.




-- When did it become FEBRUARY? really. my birthday is at the end of this month. and i actually get a real birthday! and i ordered my dad a birthday gift and i *may* of ordered a birthday gift from me to me also ;)

--please read this post- "How does a bar of soap rescue a Child?" Its about the Superbowl and human trafficking. the numbers and statistics are shocking and terrible. we must pray and help raise awareness. {read my post about this from last year here}

i hope you all are having a great weekend!

much love♥

i think i've been living under a rock.

Michael Buble'. yes, I've heard this name in the past and for some reason thought he was "old school" or {whatever that means} or something and never looked into him. WELL. While on Pandora a week or so ago one of songs off his Christmas album played. and then it was over. I listened to another and another and another. i posted on twitter,
i just discovered Michael Bublé's Christmas album a few days ago on pandora. my word. his voice.!! i've been living under a rock. ;P

that's just it. his voice. is amazing. he can SING. like sing sing. and the music he puts to his voice. its different and unique. i love it. I'm still discovering his music but here are some of my current favorites.
If you haven't heard his Chritsmas album. YOU MUST. you will very much enjoy it.

 this one is the first Michael Buble' song I got :)



 and this one i just found--



now that is some good music.  and i'm glad i got out from under that rock ;)

late night melodies

{love this live version}

                               {this song never gets old}

                                  {this is just awesome}

much love♥

p.s. thank you so much for your prayers for my family and I. you don't know how much that means.♥

happy friday! {some tunes, update, fall walks}

are ya guys glad its friday?! I am. :)
first things first--
 i had my last soccer practice on monday and then my last game on tuesday. practice was a causal fun one which i love those :) and we won our game. i think it was one of our best ones too, plus i got my first and only goal of the season. it went up and over and in. it was nice. anyway... ;) So yeah. Soccer is over. I'm having a love/hate relationship with that fact. I'm kinda glad its over but it feels weird not playing soccer almost everyday of the week and not seeing my team. AND this is my last year.  but i've learned a lot and had tons of fun. i'm satsified with it all :)
As for my goals....

be in bed by 11pm . with babysitting and soccer its a really big help to get good sleep! ;] --okay so I didn't meet this one. I went to bed every night around midnight or so.But some of that was due to staying up and watching a movie with my folks :)
workout {30 Day Shred and/or 1 mile run} on thursday. - i didn't do it yesterday because i thought we would go to my sisters soccer practice but it got rained out. SO i'm doing it tonight :)
getting my school done before getting on the computer for pleasure{blog, twitter, pinterest etc.} - school is hard enough already with my health issues and such so most of the time taking away the distraction of the computer is good. --I think i did pretty good on this one! somedays I didn't even get on the computer at all. :) and its really helped me get my school done.
have patience. I think that one is pretty self explanatory. -- ehhh....

We've had some rainy chilly days around here. and we've had some pretty nice days too. and then some where it will be rain for about 20 mins then get all blue sky and sunny for 20 mins. like today. weird weather. but I'm thankful its not somethering hot.
Here are pictures from our walks :)

over the past few weeks there are been some great tunes released. here are some of my recent favorites :)



[did you like "Drifting"? You can get it for FREE at air1.com]






welp, I'm outta here. I hope you all have a great weekend! We have my sister's soccer game and my end of the season soccer party tomorrow...fun stuff :)

much love♥

P.S. Are my photos too big? are they overwhelming?

I need a hand to help me find my way back home.

hey peoples! so sorry its taken me a week and a half to post again :( A few days after my last post a sinus infection took me under. and i tried everything...tea, steam. Vicks, sinus pills etc. and it refused to leave. and yesterday i was just so miserable. overwhelming headache. and i was so clogged up. i can't remember the last time i've felt so bad. I was exhausted. thankfully we didn't have to babysit any kids so i was able to sleep. I didn't even go to soccer practice because i was feeling that bad. SO today i went to the dr. and she said its a sinus infection and she gave me some nasal "mist" (I have had a bad experience with things being squirted up my nose but the "mist" is much better) and some antibiotic. I won't get the medicine until tomorrow but i've already done the mist and i'm feeling a tad better. now its mostly the HEADACHE. goodness gracious. it makes me so sick and in pain and tired. bleh. the dr. also gave us the number for a allergy specialist(?) because a sinus infection can be an allergic reaction to something. so we'll see.

also, goodbye summer. school is here. summer went by fast didn't it? or maybe that's just me? This week we started 2 subjects, Algebra and Geography for me. I love being homeschooled and that we can just ease into it. it makes it less painful ;D  Have you started yet? are you jumping in full force or easing into it? :)


back to blogging....I'm going to write up some posts and schedule them for the rest of the week. I'm going to a Do Hard Things conference with my mom and some friends this weekend so i won't be blogging. but look for posts about  my thoughts about Thor and Inception and photos from our trip :)

and since a post isn't a post without music here's one for ya ;)

And i've got to get back home to you

i'm not sure about you but Pinterest is a lovely place. yes there are some raunchy stuff on it but its not everywhere and if you're careful of you follow and what you search for, you can avoid it. its a fabulous place to get ideas for crafts, dreams and life. haha ;) {If you're on there i'd love to check you out! here's my profile.}

here are some of my favorite pins this week--

wait! what? its july?! lets start off the month with some tunes :]

seriously, when did become JULY?! just where has the all time gone? sweet nibblets.

Our AC is fixed!! Long story short, it got fixed a lot sooner that we thought and we didn't pay a fortune. Praise the Lord! :)

alright, here are some tunes that I've been loving. like, they've been on repeat for past few days :)

these lyrics--

Hallelujah, You have won the victory
Hallelujah, You have won it all for me
Death could not hold You down
You are the risen king
Seated in majesty
You are the risen king

I hope those songs spice up your July playlist! ;) and I hope you all are having a great weekend! I'm getting ready to run some errands with my mom and then go to a friends house for a little bit :) 

much love♥

Samarah

give me the faith to believe in these hard times.

im struggling. we had a long stressful week and that has taken a toll on me[the reason why i haven't been blogging]. physically, emotionally and mentally, i have no energy. even sleep isn't cutting it. it feels like there's nothing left in me. i'm shot. its going to take me a few days of rest and no stress to get back to "normal" but i'm not sure what normal is anymore.

these songs have been on repeat today:








hope ya'll are having a good weekend :)

much love♥♥

a new band love: Royal Tailor

Royal Tailor

I've been craving some new tunes and as I was browsing the internet tonight I found this music video on the Air1 music blog. it has sweet dance moves, cool effects, catchy beat and its a great song and message. Watch it. :)



And of course, one youtube video leads to another video and you know what happens next, you find yourself buying some of the band's songs on iTunes. Okay that last part hasn't happened yet but I'm sure it will ;)
They don't have any other songs on youtube from their album but here's the other one.

Can you hold me together? Without you holding my heart, I'm falling apart.

this band has got talent. and a unique name. and a sweet red theme going on.

i think my craving will be satisfied for a little bit ;)

hope you are having a great friday night!
much love♥♥

its 1 am...

Who is still up right now?? Well definitely NOT me. Because I go to bed early because I am for sure NOT a night owl. I am not tweeting, reading blogs, commenting and finding some beautiful new blogs and writing a post because I'm not that kind of girl. and I for sure DID NOT tell my mom I was headed to bed like an 2 hours ago because I definitely don't get sucked into computersphere and can't get out [maybe that's a lil' too dramatic].  Ok *maybe* I am still up BUT I promise I'm headed to bed as soon as I push publish! ;] I've been busy with school, babysitting and such and haven't had the time or energy to blog. I'm hoping this weekend I'll be able to put together some posts :) Till then enjoy this tune that I'm lovin'.

Feel It In Your Heart by Abandon. 

They are an awesome group and their sound and voices are unique. love the message of this song :)

There's a sound in the air
Can you hear it everywhere?
Voices trying to be heard.
Love is more than just another word

Oh, you can turn it up loud as loud as it will go.
But it will never make its way to your soul.

You gotta
feel it in your heart

random{funk,♥bible verse♥, and music}

At the moment I'm not doing so hot. I feel sick and I'm in pain, not too terrible but its there. I'm trying to have hope and faith. I'm behind on school and other things and I'm feeling like I'm not getting anywhere. I'm sure its just a funk and it will pass but I'm feeling sorry for myself so I'm going to post about some random awesome things ;)

this Bible verse. love.

James 1

  ² Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, ³ because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. ⁴ Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. ⁵ If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. ⁶ But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. ⁷ That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. ⁸ Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.  ⁹ Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. ¹⁰ But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. ¹¹ For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.
 ¹² Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
 ¹³ When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; ¹⁴ but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. ¹⁵ Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
 ¹⁶ Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. ¹⁷ Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. ¹⁸ He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created.

here's where my music lovin' soul comes in. here's an amazing song that speaks to my heart and encourages my soul.

uhh.. LOVE. FM Static's NEW single.Their brand spankin' new album "My Brain says Stop but my Heart says Go" released today! I'm so going on iTunes and checking it out after I'm done here :) {oh also, Mandisa's "What If We Were Real" album came out yesterday, I think! so check it out :) its good)
I dare you NOT to have it stuck in your head after you hear it just once.



this might one of THE most beautiful songs ever. I've been listening to The Lord of the Rings soundtracks. they are spectacular.




I hope you are having a good week. I'm trying to.

much love,
Samarah♥

friday highlights :]

so I totally meant to post this on Friday but its 12:40 am Saturday morning so obviously that didn't get done ;) but who's keeping track of time?? ha ;P

I had a pretty good friday. I had a Dr. appointment this morning about 45 minutes away and we have friends who live around there so after the app. we went shopping and then out to lunch with our friend Mrs. K :) My camera( which had been glued to my hand ever since mom came home ;) tagged along with me for the day and so here's my friday morning and afternoon in pictures :-)

 I don't have a picture for this but my headaches have gotten MUCH better in the past few months! I've only gotten 1, over 3 days but I have that under control. they've gotten so much better that I might be able to get off the headache medication around the end of May!! :] I'm really praying I can. I need to keep working out, eating gluten free and takin' all those vitamins and such! Some days(like today, for a few hours) it doesn't even feel like I'm getting any better or can do anything about it. Then God uses a song on Air1 or a person's tweet or something to remind me that I can't do this on my own. I need to rely on HIM for my strength and perseverance. Its hard but I can do all things through Christ who strengths me! my God is a mighty fortress. I know some of you have shared with me that you have some rough health problems and are going through similar things, please know that I am praying for you( and even if you haven't shared I still pray for you) and keep taking those small steps, striving for better days! I'm right there with ya♥♥

1. Whole Foods!! really like that store :)

2. found some yummy gluten free bread! it was so exciting because I'd had such a hard time finding good GF bread. very thankful :]

3. GF snacks

4. beautiful tulips inside the store

1. off to hopefully find some goodies for a great price! Everything was 40-50% off and then take another 10% off your whole purchase.

2. I did!! I headed to the History section {I'm a history lover if ya haven't caught that}and found 2 books about 2 of my favorite time periods!  first one, Nelson's Trafalgar: The Battle That Changed the World by Roy Adkins[ about a battle in the1800s] for about $10. I read about Napoleon i history for school and he intrigued me, looking forward to reading it. 

3. Cranford!! That had a decent batch of DVDs (and Blu-Ray) for good deals! I was so happy to find this :) I love that show! They had Return to Cranford but I just stuck with the first one. I love that time period. okay, I just love history. ;] Anywho, altogether I got it for $21 #imahappygirl

4.The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan [Dust Bowl 1935] for about $9. I'm absolutely fascinated with that time period. The WWs, Great Depression and Dust Bowl. I've just read about 3 pages of the introduction and I'm already enthralled!

So I've got some great summer reads :]

 It feels like my birthday blessings have just kept coming and coming ;] God knew I needed those goodies today. 

 1. & 2. Went to an Irish Pub for lunch with Mrs. K. It was such an enchanting and beautiful place. It kinda reminded me of How To Train Your Dragon...that type of "culture". There were gorgeous stained glass windows all over the place and one room had a cozy fire. I took lots of pictures and will share more later :) *promise* ;]

3. I had some stew and it was delicious to say the least. So rich, hearty and yummy. *licks lips* it was so good

4. one of the stained glass windows. they were so vivid and bold.

Well that was my morning and afternoon in pictures and some captions :) When we got home we just relaxed, my mom took a nap(still trying to catch up on sleep!) and ate dinner. I've been spending the night(9:30-now, 12:20) editing pictures, tweeting, chatting, listening to music, and writing this blog post. no it didn't take me like 3 hours to write this... I was multitasking- editing a picture, blog, tweet, blog, chat with my friend, and blog, you get the picture ;)

speaking of music, here's some sweet tunes I've been listening to and loving :)

I'm such a Lord of the Rings girl at heart...{*lotr post coming in the near future*}



 Fell in love with this song all over again...




Thank you so much for all the sweet comments you've been leaving for me! Sorry I haven't replied to them yet! I'll try to do that this weekend, along with posting about my mom's trip to India! I cannot wait to show you guys! the pictures are amazing!

I'll leave you with two pictures from today...

here's my favorite stained glass window. hmm..unique and capturing isn't it??

signs of spring!!

What were some of your friday highlights??

much love,
Samarah

♫ i wanna be in the background♫ & baby Lily ♥

Ok, so I wasn't gonna post any tonight but I heard this song on Air1 and I was hooked so of course I had to share with y'all ;) I've had it on repeat all night and its stuck in my head ;] Please take a listen, please. This song has a nice clean beat, not overwhelming busy vocals and noises, and a powerful message. I really like hip hop/rap but I get really annoyed and tired of the irritating beats and overwhelming voices/rhymes. This a perfect one for me =)
Its Background by Lecrae featuring C-Lite.

I could play the background

I could play the background

'Cause I know sometimes I get in the way

So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?

So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?

And I could play the background, background

And you could take the lead

Also, the lovely Mandy over at She Breathes Deeply is bringing sweet Lily into the world! Earlier, her hubby Kyle posted that she was in labor! :] I'm so excited for them to meet their precious baby girl :) Please pray for them during this joyful(but also painful) time! You can leave them so love here. 

much love,

Samarah 

short blog break :]

I've been having a fabulous birthday week! I've spent time with some great friends and had lots of fun :) I'm looking forward to a movie night with 2 dear friends tomorrow night ♥ I am so blessed with such awesome girls :)

Thanks for all the sweet comments that you all have been leaving! and thank you to all my followers! you all brighten my days and you don't know how much that means to me♥

ah, I'm a bit sad to write this but it needs to be done. I need to take a short break from blogging for maybe about a week. I have a lot going on.... a ton of this..

and sometimes I might look like this.... ;P

isn't this the cutest picture?? :]

I need to get working out regularly and eating gluten free apart of my life. I keep pushing it aside and I'm suffering the consequences.

I also need to be in the Word more. Reading the Bible everyday. even if its just a verse or 2. I need to pray everyday, for me, others, and how He can use me to be a light in this dark world.

Last but NOT least, I'll be spending time with my family and friends which is something I haven't been doing much of but recently realized that I need to change that :) God has given me an amazing family and wonderful friends and I want to invest my time with them :)

I still might visit some blogs and comments but I won't be posting any. I'll have lots of pictures to post and different topics I wanna blog about so I'm excited bout that :) and hopefully when I come back, my new blog design will be up! Lulu is taking a break till April so lovely Sky is going to give my blog a new look :]

I'll leave you with these songs that encourage me so much :)







thank you so much for bearing with me! :o)

much love,

Samarah

Day 25: A recipe, workout fail and friday anthem!!

day 25- a recipe-

to be honest, I don't cook/bake very often. It requires me to follow directions and because I'm head strong, I don't really like that. sometimes it just takes so much time and energy that I don't really have.But when I do, its usually enjoyable and the food usually comes out pretty good and now that I'm gluten free I usually have to actually make my meals. So I'm trying  to embrace the idea of being in the kitchen and creating yummy food ;) but I'm having a hard time thinking of a recipe that I've tried and I've liked *think think think* I still don't have anything...oh I know! I'm gonna post a recipe of a gluten free treat that I want to try :] very soon! ;)

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Brownies from Celiac Teen

*please note that this image from celiacteen.com I do not own it.  I'm only using it for the purpose of showing you what the brownies look like*

don't they just look delicious I cannot wait to try them! and when I do I will definitely let you know what I think of them :] Lauren has a bunch more lovely recipes for gluten free goodies that I can't wait to try out!

I haven't worked out all week :/ I was doing so well but then I don't know what happened, I just stopped! and I'm regretting it. Why do I do this??!! I am going to workout today and get back on the every other day routine :] I'm praying God gives me strength, consistency and diligence in this :)

My birthday is in 3 days! 3 days!! wow, time has flown by! :)

hope you are having a great friday! I shall leave you with my friday anthem :]

much love,

Samarah

catching up on 28 days (part 2) and a giveaway you DO NOT wanna miss!!

Be sure not to miss the bit about an amazing giveaway! :]

Day 20: A hobby of yours- 

soccer

i've played for every year for 7 years. and I love it. love the team work that it takes to play a good game. involves your whole body and its great exercise. and its so much fun :) 

Day 21: Something you know you do differently than most people-

I can be me, like no one else! :]
I'm strong willed person and I don't fall under the pressure of this world to be someone I'm not. I'm true to myself and I don't care if I'm an Outcast. Kerrie Robert's song "Outcast" is my anthem right now because I'm having a hard time fitting in at church and with some other groups. I'm definitely not the popular one, probably the least popular but I'm ok with that. I'm gonna keep my head , stand my ground and be who I am because God made me who I am and He has big plans for me. I am alive and beautiful in Him :) and so are YOU!
I'm not living for them I'm living for something better! 

Day 22: A website-

I can't think of an interesting one so I'm just gonna say Air1 Radio because they play some awesome music. they've introduced me to new artists and i've been so blessed by them :)  


I'm going ahead and doing tomorrows :)

Day 23: A way in which you want to be remembered- 

this kinda goes with day 21.

I want to be remembered as a person who loved Christ and lived for Him and because of Him. Who showed some crazy love to the world and didn't fit in. Was an outcast for Christ. :] 

Alright, now onto the amazing giveaway! its pretty amazing and you definitely don't wanna miss it.

Ilene at much love, illy in honor of her blogiversary is giving away 5 lovely items! to 5 lucky much love, illy readers! :]  I just love her blog. she's gorgeous for one thing and I could spend hours on her blog reading about her love for Christ, family, friends, her Ryan and Chicago ;) I mean this picture just says it all. doesn't it just wanna make you run straight to her blog?! don't deny it. it does.

She is giving away some super cute things that any girl would l.o.v.e to get her hands on! seriously they are adorable. and you could be one of those lucky winners! click here to enter! 

I'm struggling a bit with getting school done. I just feel overwhelmed and so tired. I'm sorry to whine but its true. 

hope you all are having a better day/week than I am! 
much love,
Samarah

catching up :] ♥

I'm taking a minute and sitting down and writing a blog post. I should be working on school but I'm missing blogging and you guys a lot! I will get school done though tonight ;] Most days, I'm hoping to get my school done during the day and then I can blog at night :)

Also, I've worked out 3 times since Wednesday! :) I'm not eating bread or a lot of dairy and trying to stick to gluten free foods. and I'm feeling great! I'm seeing the results of doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred and I'm loving that! ;) I finally feel like I'm in control of my body and I'm not just eating anything and everything and going weeks without exercising. I'm quite proud of myself! If you are feeling bad about your body/health and you feel too tired and unmotivated to start eating healthy and exercising, here's my advice: just do it. its kinda simple. you don't have to go out of the house. do a dvd, run, walk, go to the gym or do sits ups and push ups in your bedroom. it doesn't have to be high intensity. do something. don't agonize over it and even if you feel like the time isn't right. just do it. you won't regret it ;)

over the past week around 10 more lovely people have pushed that follow button on my sidebar! sooo...

I am so blessed. I appreciate each and every one of you! A little over a year ago, one night I started a lil' blog called "samarah's sayings" and I never imagined that my blog would have 103 followers. I've loved "meeting" girls from all around the world and finding lots of soul sisters ;] You leave some pretty sweet comments too! Thank you so much! I pray that my blog would encourage and inspire you to embrace who you are in Christ :)
Thew new design is coming soon!!

So its pretty obvious that I'm a bit (ok like 6 days) behind on the 28 day challenge ;] I'm going to do days 16,17,18, & 19 and tomorrow I'll do days20, 21, & 22 :)

here goes....

Day 16- a song that makes you cry-

Ok I'm not really a person that cries during songs or movies etc. its rare that I do. but here's a song that makes me sad because its reality to some ladies.
Carrie Underwood- Just a Dream
you can listen to it on my playlist at the bottom of the page.

Day 17- An art piece-

hmm... this is a hard one. This is one is the only one I can think of right now. There might be another but oh well ;)

Open Hearts by Jane Seymour

Day 18- a time when you feel passionate and alive-

well this is a deep question :)
the time when I feel passionate and alive is when I'm a concert. Coming together with hundreds of other people praising and worshiping Christ straight from my soul. and just having a down right good and fun time :)

from weheartit.com

Day 19- a talent of yours-

I'm good with little kids. Like baby to 2 or 3 years old :) not that I don't like kids that are older but I do much better with littler chillens ;) I "work" with the 1 year olds (and also almost 1 year olds) in the nursery at my church. work meaning playing with them, helping them down the slide, reading books and doing puzzles. fun work! ;) The other ladies that work in the there say that I seem to know what I'm doing because I have lots of experience :) Other people have said that and I really appreciate it. I love lil' people.We watch a 7 month old and an almost 1 year old and they.are.so.much.fun. I also babysit for some friends who have a 1 & half-ish y.o. and she is so funny and cute! aannnddd she is going to have a sister in the next few weeks! I'm so excited!! plus we live in the same neighborhood so thats even better! ;)
I think children are one of God's greatest blessings. Life is beautiful and kids remind me of that :)

My mom and I watched The Blind Side a few nights ago and it was really good.

its an amazing touching story and I want to read the book now :) they could of done without some of the language in the movie but I would give it 4 1/2 stars :) and SJ was so adorable and funny! :]

welp, that's all for now! I'm off to do some latin homework :/ I've got a headache and I'm praying that it goes away!

hope you are having a fabulous day! 

by the way, this is my anthem right now. post a bit about that in the near future!

much love,

Samarah♥
