my favorite little lady

The many faces of my favorite four and a half year old.

I can't get enough.

Empire State of Mind

GUESS WHERE I AM. I am on a bus traveling from Boston to New York City as I am typing this! I am so technological with wifi on a bolt bus. It has been a dream of mine to go to NYC, so needless to say, I am pumped. Not only do I get to see the Big Apple, but I get to see it with mah BFF, Caroline...and some new friendsies. It will be a weekend filled with exciting adventures and so. freaking. much. fun.

what i've learned

hello from the first day of my week! it feels wonderful to ease into the week rather than be thrust into a crazy Monday.

I like bullet points. I like lists. I figure if this blog is going to be a reflection of me, I should include some of these

• I am the klutziest person alive. Today I experienced for the first time actually falling on my face. I have scratches to prove it. I can't decide whether I am proud or embarrassed.
• A good salad makes me insanely happy. Give me some crispy lettuce, croutons, and chicken, and I will be grinning all night long. I know this because I had a stupid grin on my face at dinner. The salad was the. freaking. best.
• I absolutely adore my roommates! We giggle and chuckle and snort and love. Every night is a joy and I absolutely cannot get enough of them. We had a pretty solid photoshoot today for a new scarf in my etsy shop, and it turned into a roommate lovin' shoot.

today I am...

crocheting.

School was canceled. Work was canceled. My 14 hour day was gone. I got to sleep in, organize, be with friends, open my etsy shop, and relax. My friends, its been a good day.

long lost photos

long time, no see!

Finally, I have time to update ivehadtime. my wit never fails.

I have spent the last 24 hours in solitude, with both of the roomies are gone. Cake has been eaten, magazines have been read, nails have been painted, and most importantly, photos have been edited! I have a beautiful (or gorgeous, if you prefer that term) BFF, and we have lots of fun taking pictures. These ones are from Christmas break when it was bitter cold, but the love of our friendship left us warm. I am so cheesy, can you tell I am from Wisconsin??

I threw in some pictures of my niece and nephew for good measure.

It Is Well.

Psalm 46

God is our refuge and strength,

a very present hep in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear though the

earth gives way,

though the mountains be moved to

the heart of the sea,

though its waters roar and foam,

though the mountains tremble at its swelling.

There is a river whose streams make glad

the city of God,

the holy habitation of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;

God will help her when morning dawns.

The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;

he utters his voice, the earth melts.

The LORD of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our fortress

Come, behold the works of the LORD,

how he was brought desolations on the earth.

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;

he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;

he burns the chariots with fire.

"Be still, and know that I am God.

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth!"

The LORD of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our fortress.

"It Is Well With My Soul"

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,

It is well, with my soul,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

Let this blest assurance control,

That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,

And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!

My sin, not in part but the whole,

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,

The sky, not the grave, is our goal;

Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!

Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;

The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,

Even so, it is well with my soul.

Lazy Sunday

This weekend was a jolly time of slip'n'sliding, helping Meg pack, and relaxing. I got to play with Carly's cousin's Canon Rebel and I CANNOT WAIT for Christmas...hopefully I'll have my own. :)

She's gone. Megan is goooonneeeeeee. College has taken her away from mua. gah. Thank goodness she's got her blog to get me my fix of my Toyota.

Weekend Quotes::

"Sometimes we pretend to be dum, but we're really smart."

"We got a wok pan." "Don't you just put tapes in it? " "No Megan, not a walkman."

the Talking Tomcat application is the funniest game ever created for the iPhone. I've spent a few hours on it in the past couple days. lolz

also, i love my new ring. Caro might say i'm obsessed...she might be right...

my friends and i are creative. Who knew post-its could hold so many memories?

this is the most random post of all time. I'm now going to return to my afternoon of watching glee and playing sims.

paging Fluscious...

HELLO MAH FRIENDS!!!!

My bestie best friend and myself scooted over to the twin cities for the weekend to see the Dead Sea Scrolls and some special little friends. I had the joy of waking up at 5 a.m., and when we got to the cities we slipped and slid with my nieces and nephew, and i'm pretty sure we enjoyed it more than them. we have another slip and slide date for tomorrow.

TAYLOR SWIFT ON SNL IS FUNNAYYYY *in parentheses (lalala).

The Science Museum of Minnesota holds some fantastic memories, and we had fun exploring the body exhibit (yay sneezing girl), viewing the Dead Sea Scrolls, and pretending to be newscasters. THEN when we were dawdling in the basement looking at our arm hairs with a microscope, we were ushered into a back hall due to tornados (FUN!). Carly believed we were in a movie scenario, where a group of people are in a crisis, and must depend on each other to solve it. I believe in our movie there would be cannibals involved. All ended well, and we got home to chill with my sister. Good day, grand night.

So if i bored you with my life story, lo siento. Hopefully the pictures will help. If you can't tell, I love the sky. OBSESSED with the sky.

also, my God is beautiful (see sky pictures).

oh hey, nature.

Español: Estas fotos son de hace un par de semanas cuando algunas amigas y yo caminamos con dificultad por el barro para encontrar bosques y una laguna pequeña y bonita. Era un día estupendo y tenemos mucho divertido con globos lilas obtuvimos de una tienda local. Por fin yo edito las fotos esta noche, y creo que las salieron bien. Me doy cuenta de que me encanta editar fotos y estoy muy emocionada para el otoño y el comienzo de mi clase de fotografía.

Hoy, yo trabajé para el mejor del día y hice ejercicio antes de yo pasé mucha de la noche con mi madre. yo quisiera limpiar mi cuatro, pero esto no ocurrió, como siempre.

mi madre está divertidísimo. yo la amo.

Nececito terminar my poste...tengo solamente 16% en mi batería hasta que mi computadora morirá. Tengan una noche maravilloso!

Espero que todo comprenda mi español...no es perfecto. :)

Ingles: These shots are from a couple weeks ago when some friends and I trudged through the mud and into the woods to a cute little pond. It was a beautiful day, and we had a lot of fun with some lilac balloons we got at a local shop. Tonight I finally sat down and edited them, and I think they turned out really well. I'm realizing again how much I love editing pictures, and am really excited for this fall to start my photography course at school.

Today, i worked for most of the day and worked out before spending most of the night with my mom. I wanted to clean my room, but that didn't happen, like always.

my mom is hilarious. i love her.

I need to finish up my post...I only have 16% of my battery left before my computer dies. Have a wonderful night, all!
