A decision!

So once school starts I'm going to be busy and probably not feel like blogging much, but I don't want to stop! So I'm going to do a weekly post! Thing is, I don't know what I want to do... So you are going to help me! There is a poll on the side of the blog! =) However I'll explain what each thing will mean.

Musical Mondays:

I'll post something about music. (duh) Haha! It will probably be a piece that I've been listening to in the past week, and I'll probably say a lot about it, such as why it's special to me (like personal experiences with the piece) interesting things about the piece itself and the composer, or something random! =D 

Teapot Tuesdays:

I'll post something about a teapot movie, book, character, costume, hairstyle... something about a teapot movie! =D =D

Wordless Wednesday:

This I might do anyway since it will probably be really easy, we'll see. But it will be a picture (probably of a sunset or clouds or trees or a beautiful view) but it will basically be a picture with a Bible verse that the picture reminds me of! =)

What I'm reading on Saturday:

Since I'll be doing school I probably won't be reading for pleasure much during the week, so I'll try to save Saturdays for reading, and I'd post about the book or books that I'm reading. 

Now you all get to vote! =D The poll lasts until September 1st at midnight!!! 

A Beautiful Day

I just want to start out by saying thank you to everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes!!! =) I had a wonderful day!!!! Everything was perfect! I woke up and one of the first things I saw was a happy birthday wish from my brother and another special someone! =) Perfect beginning! It only got better! My bestest friend ever in the whole wide world sent me 17 delightful emails, that made me laugh, smile, and cry! =) She's the best thing since sliced bread!!! Then later I found another email waiting for me from Bek (you've seen most of the contents from that!) Which also made me smile, laugh, and cry, but for different reasons! Throughout the day I had so many people call, email, text, or message me and made me feel so loved and special!! My older sister and I prepared beans for freezing while listening to Michael Buble's Christmas album! (which if you haven't listened to you should because it's amazing! =) Needless to say, we were dancing all over the kitchen! As if my day wasn't perfect enough, we went to the airport to pick up my brother who had been in England for the past week and a half!!! What a beautiful birthday present! We did a joint celebration the next day and that was so much fun!!! Our two and a half year old niece 'helped' us open our presents! (say rather, she gave all mine away to everyone else in the family!) Michael got me something special from England, here is a picture!

Isn't that so perfectly adorable!!! In England, not only do they call cupcakes fairy, cakes, but they don't have wrappers, they have cases! =) I will forevermore call cupcakes, fairy cakes! It sounds so much more magical! =D 

This has been a much longer post than I've been doing lately! I'm so sorry! =( I'll get better at blogging now I hope! Life is getting back into a groove that I hope will allow me some evening time to do some projects, like blogging! I am working on knitting a shawl, but I think I need to undo it all and start over. =( I'll survive I guess... haha! 

Oh, I got one other awesome birthday present that I'm going to share with you! 

Yep!!! This makes me excited!!! Guess what I'm going to read next?!?!?!? =D =D

A Guest Post!

I have a friend who wanted me to post this as a guest post! So I am! =) I'll post something 'real' (as in from me!) later! =)  

17 Things I Love about Julia

By Bek 

1. Julia loves to talk. She can talk your ear off with tons of interesting and funny stories!

2. Julia is gorgeous. Seriously. 

3. Julia knows how to do hair! She is patient enough to help me with mine. Who knew it took that long to curl your hair? 

4. Julia plays the violin really well. Okay I'll admit it, she's better than me. :) Even on Kabablevsky. :)

5. Julia's fingers are as fast as lightning even all the way up to the nosebleed section. Now that's impressive!

6. Julia loves her family. Especially that crazy brother of hers Michael. Happy birthday to him too!

7. Julia eats frosty's the normal way. You would be surprised all the crazy ways you can eat frosty's!!

8. Julia is honest. She's realistic about problems. This might just be a nice way to say she complains a lot.... :) Just kidding!!

9. Julia likes "teapot" movies. I didn't realize this was a good thing until I watched one with her. I'm hooked!

10. Julia remembers things for a long time. Like that she still owes me cupcakes!

11. Julia can always make me smile. Either by doing something so ridiculous you can't help laughing or just by being nice. 

12. Julia has endurance. She can run for 40 minutes straight!! Personally, I struggle with 10 minutes. Julia blows my mind. 

13. Julia has a good laugh. Some people sound like donkeys, other people are afraid to actually laugh. Julia has a good laugh that she's not afraid to use for all my funny stories!

14. Julia is prepared. Anytime you need a kazoo or a plastic knife or a few decks of cards ask her. Her purse is the epitome of preparedness. 

15. Julia is a gardener. She devotes a large portion of her time to weeding. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didnt the virtuous woman have a big garden too?

16. Julia is a good memorizer. She has 1/4 of all the parts of the Mendelssohn octet memorized. 

17. Julia is my friend. I'm so glad you were born!! Happy birthday!!!

A Beautiful Sunrise!

So, I'm out here at 'the seaside' (:)) and this morning my dad and I got up really early and went to the shore to watch the sun rise! It was so amazing!!! The sun just crept over the shoreline and grew every second! I was snapping pictures like crazy!!! (most of them weren't any good since I was paying more attention to watching the sun rise than get good pictures! ;)) However, I did get a few good ones that I  am going to share with you today! I must say that watching the sunrise has been the highlight of my vacation so far!!! It was magical!!! Praise the Lord!!!! =D

It's starting to come up!

I love the way the clouds were in front of it!!! So beautiful!!

*sigh*

It's about to come out!!!!

There it is!!! It was so amazing to see it slowly creep over the shoreline!!!!! =D

It's getting bigger!

And it's out! And gorgeous! It was so amazing!!! =) I hope you enjoyed looking at the pictures as much as I enjoyed watching the sunrise and taking them!! (even though the pictures don't even come close to doing it justice!) 

I hope you have a great rest of your week!! God Bless!!!
