SO EXCITED.

harry comes out in theaters today!!!!!

and it will be epic. granted the movies could NEVER measure up to the epicness that is the harry potter book series but they are the last thing we have of harry to cling on to so i will take it. it is so wonderful to walk into the theater and know that this movie will definitely be worth paying $11 for. anyone who has not read the books will not understand the hype and that is okay. i don't mind being a nerd. i love all things harry [and ron, hermione, dobby, sirius, bellatrix, etc.]. i just can't get enough.

i'm not seeing the movie til saturday but i can probably wait one day. STOKED!

yay.

what a wonderful, relaxing, happy, glorious day.

up.

as a way of forcing myself to realize that my life is not a complete disaster, here is a list of wonderful things happening in my life:

1. a thoughtful care package from my aunt.

2. a roadtrip with my brothers next week from slo to the bay area.

3. some roomie bonding time last week.

4. a wonderful date last saturday with james.

5. a letter from my grandma.

6. learning more about God's sovereignty in Bible study tonight.

7. a new fuscia water bottle.

8. being silly on friday with steph and bre.

9. HARRY POTTER 7 COMES OUT THIS WEEK!!

i have so much to be thankful for, sometimes i just need to look for it.

one year.

one year ago, i got all dressed up to go on a date with this really cute guy. his name was james. we'd gone on a few dates and i really liked him. i liked that he played guitar. i liked his blue eyes. i liked that he was sweet and funny and respectful. little did i know, that was just the beginning. he rang my doorbell and gave me flowers. then he took me to olive garden, because i love it even though it's a little cheesy. then he took me mini golfing because he wanted to see me get competitive. after that, we went to pismo and he pushed me on the swing as we talked about God, our families, and anything else that came to our minds. then, that cute boy sat on the swing next to me and got really shy and mumbled some wonderful nice things and then asked me to be his girlfriend.

i said yes and that was one of the best decisions i have ever made.

just for fun.

maybe this will make up for my lack of pictures lately.

so lately i have felt like not too much is going right in my life. i've felt stressed out and, as most people around me this past week can vouch for, i've been a beezy. i've tried and tried to give my stress up to the Lord, but i just felt like it wasn't working. maybe God just had too many other people to deal with. maybe my problems were too big. maybe i was stupid. well the last one might be true, but the other night i realized that if we are not honest with the Lord, how can he fix what we don't tell him about? so i basically verbal vomited and spewed out everything i was worrying about to the Lord. and guess what??? it felt like a huge weight lifted off my chest. obviously things don't get fixed right away, but i feel like the Lord really helped me give all my problems to him, and he has helped me trust in him with everything. life will always be stressful, but i know He will help me get through it even when it feels like everything is falling apart [ps. i have a slight tendency to be dramatic sometimes...].

so i guess that is what has been on my mind lately, and i promise to write more this week!

also: the title has nothing to do with anything, except that they are my favorite item of clothing and i am currently wearing them even though james insists they are too "loud".

blah.

this week has been uneventful yet i somehow have been feeling generally crappy.

so hopefully next week i will have more motivation to write.
