See you in 10 days.


This is just a quick little post saying I will be gone for the next 10 days. I will be on Choir Tour with some of the greatest people in my life. I'm pumped and packed. Now to sleep. Goon night, and how you guys are well! I will catch up on all your blogs on June 3rd-ish.:)

p.s. Please pray for peace among ourselves and for our hands to do great things for God and those we are serving!

Rebecca here, with an update.

I'm having too much fun with PicMonkey.:)
My windowsill
My cousins Evan, Jordan, and I after Jordan's graduation.
Driving along...
A little poem I attempted in a popular fashion nowadays.
Celebrating Beth's birthday early wouldn't be complete with out Katie spilling something =D
And in that moment, I was a momma duck.

For Duck Tape Night at church, Patrick made an entire suit of duck tape. I don't use this word but in this case I must; swag.
So, that is my past 2 months in pictures. They are out of order, but I'm happy the uploaded alright! 
The trip went pretty well. We didn't end up getting back in time for church Sunday morning. I really missed them but saw that it was important to spend time with my relatives. For Mother's Day, I got my mom a chocolate bar and Season 1 of Downton Abbey. She honestly doesn't want much, but I knew that she'd like what she got.She even shared her chocolate bar with us.<3 She really loves us.  
Today was a peaceful day for the most part. I didn't get much sleep because Stephen wouldn't sleep. Even once I fell asleep, it wasn't good. This sucks.:/
Other than that, today was fine. I got a lot of work done. I tried praying throughout the day and was nice. I felt God with me and He brought me comfort in uncomfortable situations.

One measly week from tomorrow and I will be done with school.In the title, I was impersonating Luke Conard, do any of you know who that is?

I want to watch the Titanic, no reason.
 
How is your week so far?:)

Good Dreams and A Little Trip

Hey guys, happy Friday morning! I am in Journalism class right now, waiting for a student to return, bearing doughnuts. I am very excited because today my family and I will be going to my cousin's graduation. He is one year older than me and it's a bit scary because that means I will graduate in a year. WHAT. That is cray-cray. I am not cool enough to use the phrase. Oh well.:)

After graduation, we will be staying there for Saturday and head back home Sunday. All of my dad's brothers will be there and I will be happy to see so much of my family at the same time. My brother hasn't been in the best mood this week, so hopefully he will be compliant and good on this trip.

You know that Spanish test I stayed home to study for? I got a 86%. Yay! I don't think I will be taking Spanish IV next year, I am not really good at it and I'd love to take more photography courses. I've been meaning to scan my prints I made in the darkroom to show you guys, but there is never an opportune time.

I am also happy that my friend Kinga has decided to come back to blogging! :)

I've been having good dreams lately. Really happy dreams, like happier than ever. But the thing is, I cannot for the life of me remember what happens in them. When I'm in the dream, I know what it is but as soon as I'm awake, it's gone. This has never happened before, but I'm at peace about it. God has been giving me so much peace about things this week. I'm so thankful for His wisdom guiding me.:)



This really describes my faith well, thank you Kimberly for sharing it!

It's May.I'm happy about this.

I am happy. Here's my happy list.

  • I had a dream in which my dream came true. And it was all set to Gungor songs.It was brilliant and I could feel myself smiling in my sleep.:)
  • I finished my Algebra II review. Yes, he gave us the answer key and I used it to get started on some problems but I actually get it sort-of!
  • I talked with a good friend last night that I really missed. We caught up on life and I am so blessed to have her.
  • Today I am wearing checkered shorts I got on Monday.
  • I took a mental health day on Monday because I was stressed over a Spanish test and other stuff, so I studied, and had a girls day with my mom. She didn't have work and we had fun doing errands, shopping for Choir Tour, eating Taco Bell, and vacuuming.
  • My heart has been burdened with something I'd rather not share. I simply asked God to take it away and I feel as light as a feather. I'm not worrying any more about what will happen in this situation because I know God will take care of me and have everything happen in His time, which I know from experience is the best way to go.
  • I'm going to hang out with Katie after school today. We rarely see each other and I am so pumped!:)
  • Tonight I will babysit some great kids.
  • I have been doing my whole yoga routine every morning and ate a banana every morning as well. I am going to get into this little habit and slowly add more little things each week to become more healthy.:)   
  • I think I did well on the Spanish test.
  • I have been keeping to myself and I've realized I just need to be alone, but I'm ready to spend more time with people.
  • Plans for summer are being made.Thanks to this cool thing.
  • I finished Season 2 of Doctor Who and even though I was sobbing like crazy, I'm so glad I did. I get attached to my TV shows.:')
  • It is May. Let's unleash the beast, shall we?



Here is what I was doing a year ago today; writing a Spanish essay whilst falling in love with Matt Smaith (11th Doctor)
