Party Animal

As another round of a bug has hit our house, this weekend has consisted of wild things like 

watching a Youtube series...

...working on an essay...

...and reading in bed...

I know, party animal. ;-) 

What about you? How has your weekend been? 

Spring Days

Hi sweet readers! I hope you are having a perfectly lovely, gorgeous Spring so far...

These warmer days of sunshine and rain showers have been a flurry of working and job searching, finally[!!] finishing Sherlock season 3, sleepovers, a million things to do and procrastinate on ;-), a sweet new cousin arriving, and - of course - school work...

I quickly realized pretty soon after the start of this semester just how much time must be invested to get everything done, even as just a part time student.

Still, I'm really looking forward to the challenges ahead as I get closer to going full time in August. It will be hard...many times stressful...and always a ton of work... but I definitely won't be doing it alone.

"I can do all things through him who strengthens me."

God's strength + my awesome family and friends backing me up all the way = immensely blessed

What about you? 

What have you been up to these April days?

Sunshine Award

Good morning, everyone! 

The sun is peeking through the trees as it makes it's climb into the sky, throwing beams across the yard in hues deep gold and orange. It seems fitting then, as the world begins to be basked in light, that I [finally remember to] post about two sweet people and what they did. :-)

Laura, from Gazing Wonders, and Reyna Nicole, from A Peace of the Past, both awarded me the 

Sunshine Award!

Thank you, ladies! :-) 

Here's how it works:

1. Answer the questions set by your nomination blogger.
2. Nominate as many or as few fellow bloggers as your like.
3. Set questions for your nominees.

The Questions  

1. Where would you like to live someday?

Down an old dirt road, wildflowers dotting the fields around and dancing in the warm breeze. 

2. Is there any  music or songs that ever gives you the chills from hearing it?

Skrillex - haha! Sorry to any dubstep fans out there. ;-)  

3. How will your ideal dream house look like? 

A white farm house, surrounded by a wrap around porch perfect for afternoon sitting and Sunday get-togethers. 

4. Would you prefer to live in a city or out in the country?

I think answers to 1. and 3. kind of give it away - heh heh :-)

5. Something that inspires you is...

Selfless love for others.

6. Where you afraid of an specific horror movie as a child? 

Oh my gosh, yes! One word: Twister. ;-)

7. Did you ever sleep with a nightlight ? 

Not exactly a nightlight... I had a glow-in-the-dark wall sticker that had Psalms 56:3 on it. :-) 

8. What is your favorite dessert? 

Oh man, that is waaayyy too hard to say. :-D Probably hot peach cobler, preferably with vanilla ice cream. 

9. An animal that creeps you out 

The capybara....not that I've ever come across one or anything. My reason is summed up in two words: GIANT RODENT. :-P 

10. A great lesson you have learned over the years  

To trust God with *everything*. <3 

11. Something you can't live without.

Sunshine. And no, I did not say that because of the award name. :-D Seriously, sunny days are one of the best things in life. :-) 

As a thankful to some new followers (I'm so glad you're here!! :-) ), my nominees are:

Livia Rachelle, from Rose Petals and Faerie Dust

and

Jessie, from So Much More Than They've Got Planned

As those were fun questions to answer, it would be cool to see the nominees' responses to them too! :-) Here are they are:
