My sister and I were jumping on our trampoline today, and I have to say, she can do some pretty awesome tricks! Nice job Olivia! :)

Well that completes Day 1 of the Picture Challenge!

Picture Challenge!

So I was reading a post on my blogger friends, Katelyn and Eliza's blog, and they are doing a picture challenge. It sounds pretty neat! You are supposed to post a picture from a part of your day, every day. The rules are:

1.) The picture has to be from a part of THAT day.

2.) You need to post the exact time the picture was taken.

Sounds like fun to me, so I'm gonna try it out! The challenge will end next Monday, June 7th!

Let's do this thing! :)

Current Obsessions #1

You know, there are always a few of those things that I'm just crazy about. I decided I might do sort of a series where I'll post like five of my current favorite things. So here we go!

CURRENT OBSESSIONS...

1.) The colors blue and green. I love them. I have toooooo many blue and green things to wear. But how can I help it? They are my two favorite colors. I feel a need to branch out, and I do, but I still love good ol' blue and green. :)

2.) Facebook! It's pretty addicting, believe it or not. I love to look at friends' pictures and talk with family members that live far away. It's crazy how just looking at someone's pictures often makes you feel right there with them. I like to see pictures of my little cousin who's growing so quickly when I don't get to see him regularly. And I like the extra sense of connection. It's a way to talk to friends without having to call or text them!

3.) Susie Magazine. It's an awesome magazine. I used to get Brio, but they stopped publishing it... Susie Shellenberger (the former editor of Brio Magazine) started up a magazine pretty close to Brio! It's a good magazine for a Christian teen girl, it has a nice variety of articles that always keeps me interested. Another thing I love about Susie: they have what's called a Susie Online Sisterhood, and it's like a little private community for Christian girls worldwide. There is a nice forum section where girls can discuss a plethora (I love that word! Aren't you proud that I used it?!) of things, from beauty to relationships to anything! I enjoy going and connecting with other Christian girls.

4.) Shannon Kubiak Primicerio books. They are so good!! I've read her books in the past and I still love them! Some of her books include:

~The Divine Dance

~Being A Girl Who Leads: Becoming A Leader By Following Christ

~Being A Girl Who Serves

Check her out at her website. Her books continue to encourage and inspire me!

5.) Classic Disney movies. Honestly I've always loved these, and always will. I love Cinderella, Ariel, and of course all of the other Disney Princesses. And I enjoyed the other classic characters too, like all of the 101 Dalmations, Aladdin, and Buzz Lightyear. The movies are cute, funny, and also have little life lessons worked in there. Never a time has gone by where I haven't enjoyed a good, Disney classic!

Well that sure took me a while. But I'm sure I'll be back in a few weeks with more of my CURRENT OBSESSIONS! :)

Busyness, busyness. Ahhh!

I have been super duper busy lately. Ahhhh! It's so crazy. I'm getting tired of all this busyness. But it's not even close to ending.... :( I have some stuff going on this weekend, and also next week. One of the main things next week is show choir auditions, and I'm soooo nervous! I'm glad I've already done it one time, so this is gonna be a little better because it's my second year of auditions. But still, I'm really nervous. I guess I just need to relax amidst the busyness and realize God has it all under control.

I love my friends.

I absolutely looove my friends. We always have fun together!! And I know I can always talk to them! Anyway, I had the privilege of being able to go to this end-of-the-year homeschool party (my family is in a co-op and I used to be also) the other day... I was super excited because I got to see my really good friend Amanda, whom I don't get to see very often. We were by a lake, and it was beautiful! Amanda and I had a ton of fun taking pictures.... something we love to do when we are together...







That night, we also had fireworks and a campfire! I got some pretty sweet pictures of those too....







Overall, it was an amazing night and I was so glad I could come. I had a lot of fun!!!

Ok, this is cool...

Well here I am. Starting a blog... something I honestly never imagined I would do (like skydiving, shaving my head, and other things on my definitely-will-never-do list...) I have to say this whole blogging thing is pretty sweet, though. Ok, but I have a little confession... I wasn't ever planning on getting a blog until my sister... MY YOUNGER SISTER!!...started one. I was hovering around her and I realized how cool it actually is. There were so many features that I thought were sweet....I kinda thought I might want one... so here I am. I guess I'll just see how this all turns out!
