i took a picture of fruit snacks and my science book.

i hope you all are having a great saturday! I'm not sure how i got up at 7:50am after just going to sleep around 2:15am. like getting upas in, as soon as my alarm went off i hopped up, i've never done that before. and my mom and i were up till 2am watching the first 2 episodes of season 2 of Downton Abbey. yes, i searched in the depths of the internet and found them. it was a happy yesterday. and they are so beautiful. i'm officially addicted.

 i'm looking back at pictures from this past spring and summer. i seriously took pictures of everything when we first got our camera. including my math and a pencil. and countless pictures of the sky! sweet goodness. I want to post more personal pictures on here(ones i've taken) and so i thought i'd share some  from this past year. ready? ;)

my sweetness. 

yeah. 

obviously i was not learning about the life cycle of whatever that is.

there's your random photo post for today :)

happy day!

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♥

take heart.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! {mine was good... I babysat, relaxed with my family and watching my packers win yet another game. I wasn't feeling well yesterday or today so that put a damper on my weekend so i'm praying for a better week} 

here's to a fabulous productive week! :]

p.s. how do you like my new header? :) 

good sunday.

 

good time at church this am+rain+blankets+football= my favorite sunday :) 

especially when my packers are lighting it up this season. undefeated. like whoa.

the not so favorite part is that currently my lymph nodes, throat and ears are really sore and hurting. My little brother and mom are not feeling well at all and have sore throats/headaches and such.(colds I think). But this just came on all of the sudden literally. I was fine one moment and the next I was in so much pain. We are hoping its just because of some new medicine I'm taking. I really hope we ALL get better so we can enjoy this week and Thanksgiving. and that I can get school done so i can have a few days off :)

well I i think i'm gonna go make myself some tea.
how was your sunday?? 

much love♥


p.s.-- be on a thanksgiving related post sometime tomorrow :)

thanksgiving & Christmas and some friday favorites

hope you all are having a good friday night! it made smile to read the comments on my last post knowing i have some sundtrack loving soul sisters out there ;)

 when did thanksgiving just happen to be less than 1 week away already?! really. and please don't start even start about Christmas quite yet{which is only around 36 days away! but still.} . i LOVE Christmas. love it. and I really want to savor the time and enjoy. after Thanksgiving. It seems like every year thanksgiving keeps getting pushed further and further back on every one's burner. its all about Christmas. yes while it is super special, thanksgving is too. its a day set aside to specifically thank God for the many things He's given us. Let me dwell on that for a little while then after thanksgiving i'll join in all the Christmas cheer and fun ;) anywho, those are my thoughts. What do you think about all this thanksgiving/Christmas jazz?


here are a few favorite things from this week.

happy weekend friends!

saturday musings.

hey all! I hope you all are having a great weekend so far :)
i'm glad to have some down time. this past week was full. lots of babysitting, (attempting to ;) do school, working out,etc. but its all good.

So on thursday night i decided to bring some changes to my blog. i tried to make it a bit fall-ish. i made a new header, changed some colors/fonts and got rid of some things on the sidebar. what do you think? and before you ask, no that's not me in photo in the header. i wish it was. BUT actually i've been wanting dreadlocks for a while now and so my mom and i are gonna check around and see if we can find someone who can do it :) i'm excited about it. my hair is so tough to deal with and i wanted something new and different. anyway. :)

my sister had her last soccer game this morning. her team did well this year and i think they had fun :)
her game was at 10am and we were there around 9:30ish, the sunlight was so lovely and everything was pretty wet from the dew so I got these photos :)

and tonight I'm getting together with my friend and watch Soul Surfer! neither of us has seen it so we are excited :)

have a fabulous weekend!
