This song, by The Band Perry, is so beautiful! Liz and I have been singing it for two days and we still can't get it out of our heads. Check it out, but be sure to shut off my music at the bottom of the blog first.
P.S. Sorry I haven't really posted, I've been uninspired. :(
P.P.S. The girl in the video looks freakishly like my cousin! Every time I watch it I'm a little creeped out at the similarities.

The Student's Psalm
I felt the need to post this today. :)
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not flunk;
He keepeth me from lying down when I should be studying.
He leadeth me beside the water cooler for a study break;
He restores my faith in study guides.
He leads me to better study habits
For my grades' sake.
Yea, tho' I walk through the valley of borderline grades,
I will not have a nervous breakdown;
For Thou art with me;
My prayers and my friends, they comfort me.
Thou givest me the answers in moments of blankness;
Thou anointest my head with understanding,
My test paper runneth over with questions I recognize.
Surely passing grades and flying colors shall follow me
All the days of examinations;
And I shall not have to dwell in this university
Forever!
Amen!

Goodbye teen years!
Yes, farewell to teen-hood and a hearty hello to young adult-hood! Yesterday was my 20th birthday and I must say I feel quite old. :P
I started off the day by going to Mass. I was planning on going by myself because everyone else had school to do that day, but I had the treat of Mom and Grandma joining me as well. It was a very sweet - not to mention rare - experience to go to Mass with just two other family members. It was also enjoyable to listen to them relive the day of my birth.
You see, my parents went through seven years of infertility before they were able to have me, so the day I was born was a rather big occasion for the whole family.
Anyway, after Mass, a birthday blessing from Father, and a McDonald's Mocha Frappe, we came home and started the day with the rest of the family. We had muffins for breakfast, and then everyone started school while I - who had the day off - went to the sewing room to contentedly sew a present for my Grandma - I'll tell you why in a minute.
I tell you, I sure wish that's all I had to do was sew like that everyday. Oh well.
Moving on, we went out to Olive Garden for dinner. It was heavenly! I love their bread sticks. :) We came home opened presents, and everyone being too full from dinner to eat desert, sang happy birthday to me, I blew out the candles, and we ate the desert for breakfast this morning. :P
As for my grandma's present, since she's been here I have noticed that she really enjoys our aprons. So, having learned how to make a replica of the apron I own while I was in VA, I bought some material and made an apron for her as a thank you. Grandam is the sweetest person, she gives and asks for nothing. For my birthday she bought me a new laptop -which I sorely needed - payed for our Olive Garden dinner, and more. So this was my little way of saying thank you to her, and I'm so glad I did. She says this is the first apron she has owned and I think it meant double that I made it for her.
I'll post pictures from my birthday later, I must run now to take Lizzy to her voice lessons. TTFN!

Previous post and Virginia
Hello one and all! I feel utterly guilty for not posting for so long. Please forgive me, I have felt uninspired and busy since the last post.
As for the last post, I think I need to clear some things up. I have not seen the movie Come What May. It was only recommend to me and I looked it up to find out more about it and found this *points below* is what I found. I personally thought the acting was lacking. However, the reason I posted the clip was because I really liked the pro-life message/explanation it gave.
That being said, I just got back last night from Virginia where I was visiting some very dear friends. Lizzy wasn't able to come with me because she couldn't afford a plane ticket. We missed you dearly Liz! I left on Tuesday the 3rd, and spent a marvelous week with my friends and their family. Our week consisted of shopping, talking, ice cream, coffee, talking, My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding, talking, Moonstruck, talking, more movies, curlers, Chinese food, Bananagrams (a favorite game), Olive Garden, Mass and adoration, and many more girly things. All in all a memorable week. Love you Ray and Em!
Must go now, Liz is getting mad that I'm still on the comp preventing her form getting to sleep. Anyway, ttyl!

The Sarah Braid
I have finally accomplished The Sarah aka two french braids combined into one. I am very proud of myself and how it turned out. It is demonstrated here in my cousin who came to visit with her family this summer. Oh, and I tucked the end of the braid underneath so that's why you can't see it. What do you think?

P.S. Please excuse the bobby pins that stick out...they kept popping out and making me very mad. :P

Guess that Movie!
I thought it was about time I did something fun on here. :) I was conviced to do it when Keilah and Lady Blanche Rose both posted the game.
Guess the movie quote, and I am putting you on your honor that there is to be absolutely no cheating aka looking it up on the Internet. I'll publish everyone's guesses in a few days and credit each person for the right answer.
Ready? Set? Go!
1. Character #1: Over my dead body.
Character #2: *shrugs* Okay. I'm flexible.
2. Character: Well, it must be marvelous to have that kind of stamina.
3. Character: Look Mamma, there's the crazy chicken!
4. Character: Look what you made me do! I spent half the morning on that soup...
5. Character: Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leades to suffering.
6. Character: "We must measure what me might gain, by what we might lose."
(Same movie, same character, differant scene): I am not in the habit of executing prisoners, but I would have no problem shooting you myself for that last remark.
7. Character: Meesa happy to be takin' on yousa heavy boyden. Meesa aceept dis with moy-moy humility and uh...
8. Character: Where there is greatness, great government or power, even great feeling or compassion, error also is great. We progress and mature by fault.
9. Character: What's the first thing an actor learns? The show must go on! Come rain, come shine, come snow, come sleet, the show MUST go on!
10. Character #1: I wish none of this had happened.
Character #2: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
