this made my night last night. :)

"Tom" being the one and only Tom Hiddleston

Tom is nervous about visiting the Hemsworth baby because when he saw this photo: 

He totally thought it was a photo of Chris with a mondo burrito.

And now he’s afraid he’ll accidentally say something.

2 things: 1) so my friend and I decided that its not particularly that the baby is super small, its that Chris is super huge. i mean, look at his hands! 2) that baby girl is so beautiful. I know it for sure even though I haven't seen her face. and while I really want to see it, I respect Chris and Elsa for protecting/guarding her :) 

 

happy friday awesomesauce people! <3 

so much sweetness.

[i'm going to try to not focus on the fact that i feel like i'm seriously getting sick and focus on the sweetness thats been going on]


first its leap year. and its my birthday.  my "real" one! haha ;)  another year to live :)

2nd. THIS NEW AVENGERS TRAILER THAT CAME OUT TODAY. like for real. i think i passed out from awesomeness. to say i can't wait is an understatement. the 29th is a good day.




happy birthday wishes from my lovely friends via twitter, email and texting and a visit from a friend who we haven't seen in too long.

great gifts that i am enjoying. for example...my new Kindle Fire. loving it. it was a total unexpected gift.
and i've been able to watch Robin Hood episodes on it for free..yeah pretty sweet ;)

this 66 degree partly cloudy weather we are having. so gorgeous. might even go for a run later. *maybe*

colorful flowers from my mom and dad

the sweetness that i get to live another day, another year. for Christ. to love and serve him. to know Him better. To love my family and friends more. to take care of myself better. to enjoy the little things.  i will have bad days. but HE will give me the strength to get through.
here's some inspiration-

like i said, so much sweetness going on. {and lets hope i'm not getting sick because that would not be sweet}. 

now off to get some school done... 

love,

thor and tumblr.

yep. I caved. I got a tumblr [titled the shadow proves the sunshine]. and i'm loving it. Yes its a bit addictive and yes its just one more thing to distract me from what I probably should be doing. but its fun and is a happy place. and life is short so why not get a tumblr? ;)
Also this has been a rough week for me. I'm having symptoms of not taking my headache medication anymore and its no fun at all :3  I've been having trouble sleeping, nasueous and dizzy and miserable headaches. although yesterday was a better day and I was feeling a little bit better which is good since i've felt sick since friday. Today I'm babysitting away from the house and I'm praying for energy and wellness. I'm hoping to get school done and then later tonight i want to crash on the couch and watch Thor{i've been waiting for it for a month+ from the library, yes i'm faithful. and it finally came in a few days ago and I was so excited. i need to own that movie. anyway...} 
I hope you all are having a good week :)

So without further ado here is my very first tumblr thursday! {and posts after this will probably not have as many photos as this one does}

Captain Jack Sparrow. that is all.

2012.

its 2012. whoa. I really can't believe it.

When I look back at 2011 I see pain, frustration, growing, the love of family and friends, little things that I love, God's strength and grace and my realization that this is my journey, my life that God has given me. I am called to serve and love Him right where I am.
I have met some of the most sweetest girls who have become friends through this blog and through twitter. Some of them are going through similar things as I am and we've been able to encourage and strengthen one another. I'm so thankful for them. they are amazing. 


Here's a little look back on 2011:

having one of the best twitter conversations late at night on birthday with the lovelies Kinsey and Sky.

We discovered I have several allergies/intolerance's and I officially became gluten free and nut free and all the other kinds of free.


I played my last season of soccer.


spent one of the best 2 weeks of my life with Sarahlynn.


really got serious about working out and taking charge. I lost 20+ lbs. my official goal wasn't to lose weight but to tone so i was surprised! I'll take it ;) 

discovered I really enjoy superhero movies  


Thor came out.


My mom went to India. {look out for photos!}

went to the amazing Make a Difference Tour


aspirations for 2012:

My only resolution is having deeper intimacy with Jesus. All other goals/resolutions flow from there. -Lecrae's twitter

to try my best to have a positive and fresh outlook on things. especially when it comes to my health. take more photos. to have more grace and patience. to love people unconditionally. enjoy the little things. make wise choices even in the small things. don't sweat the small things. practice healthy habits. give Christ my all.

{now i know all that is not going to happen over night and I will have days when i say "what in the world was I thinking? i can't do that. but they are aspirations--A hope or ambition of achieving something-- so I will live day to day. striving to do my best. and there will be some days when I am bummed about my health and such but that's when I remember these verses and drink lots of tea and watch Monk}

here's some things I'm looking forward to this year--

--the Avengers movie coming out in May!! so excited.

--Getting to see Sarahlynn and her family in the summer. CANNOT WAIT.

--the Dark Knight Rises coming out in the summer

--continuing to save up for a laptop 

--the OLYMPICS
--leap year

what are some of your goals? what are you looking forward to this year?? :]

so that was Christmas and this is break. i like it.

just how can it be Decemeber 30th?? it was just Christmas like...5 days ago. And 2012 is literally right around the corner. well, I had a pretty great Christmas and this week has been pretty nice as well{aside from physically feeling crummy most of the time}. A break from babysitting kids(except for 2 days), school and the regular daily routine.
 lets start with Christmas :)
the day consisted of church, breakfast muffins, opening gifts, cinnamon rolls, spending the evening with friends, playing the wii and taking naps. oh and NO SNOW[just fyi]. at the end of the day this is how i summed it up-- (from my twitter)
 today was one of the best days ive had in a while. despite physically feeling bad i was happy :) i'm so blessed by my God, family & friends!

 It was SO fun to watch my family open their gifts especially my siblings. my sister freaked out when she opened her Jamie Grace CD I got her. freaked out i tell ya. ;)

I got some pretty cool things too! here are a few of them.

one of my favorites are...these boots. 

an armband for my ipod & The Dark Knight and RV movies from my dad. :)

yum.

as for this week-- I've been fighting a really bad headache. we're not sure the cause of it {like most of the time} and it will get really painful then will lessen up and so forth. its very frustrating to say the least. so that had taken a toll on my enjoying this break :3 a good thing is that I can rest and not do anything because I feel so bad and not feel guilty about not getting school done! haha ;)
The week has been spent relaxing, playing the Wii, lots of movie watching, ignoring the book that I really should be reading for school and other things like that ;)

Speaking of movies, in the past week and a half my dad and I have watched the first 3 Pirates of the Caribbean movies. It was my first time seeing them and I really like them.  the first and second ones are my favorites. [the 1st one might very well rank as an all time favorite. whoa.]the third one wasn't as good in my opinion compared to the others.

yep.

and the music scores are so awesome. I love 'em. I've had "Singapore" stuck in my head. mmhmm.

on Wednesday my friend and I went on a spontaneous trip to the movies to see We Bought a Zoo.

 

It was really cute and a feel good movie. at times i was like okay where in the world is the plot to this movie and where are we going?? but I didn't think about it too hard ;) it was a good pick me up after a bad morning. :) plus, I love going to the theater. with friends.

now its friday. and i've spent the morning first watching Some little house on the prairie with my sister and then on the computer. I'm gonna go spend more time on the computer and later go do something useful ;)

what have you been up to this past week? :) 

Christmas wish list {plus some photos}
