That's all for now!
Have a great Monday everyone :)

I have a lot of catching up to do in the blogging world!
first I'm just going to say that you know those days where just little frustrating things happen and you just wanna pull your hair out or run away to another country because you are so done??!! I had one of those yesterday....(I wasn't feeling well at all which didn't help anything) like I accidentally squirted Germ-X into my cup of water( please don't ask me how that happened) and spilled my water bottle all over the kitchen floor and myself right before we went to a friends house to watch a movie. There was some more things but I can't think of them right now, I probably blocked them out of my memory ;) yeah it was one of those days when I wanted to go to New Zealand. but it did get better :) around 7:30 or so my mom and I went to go watch Love's Enduring Promise and Love's Long Journey with a dear friend and her daughters! It was nice to relax and watch a good love story :)


I just love those movies!!

Ok onto others things,

I agree, thanks mom :O) ( just like Michelle said, I'm not trying to brag or anything I'm just saying what talents God has given me :)

What do you think of my new blog look?? I know I know I keep changing it! I just can't help it! I think I'll keep it 2 column but just change the background. I want a simple but colorful and interesting look :) oh just fyi I do not like the new design feature on blogger!! after a long time of trying to find something I liked I was so glad to find out that you can still choose from the old templates. I think the new templates make my blog look to much like a website and way too"professional". What do you guys think of the new design feature?

That's all for now! I hope you all are having a great Sunday! :)

Love in Christ,
Samarah
