50mm,signs of spring,prayer and competition....

 Ah,life when it gets crazy it all hits bam,bam, bam, right in a row. I wish there was a break in between sometimes.

 I'm afraid the rest of this month will be rather quite stressful. I found out my essay was accepted into this beauty school for a competition,meaning I bring my model (my friend Mikaela in this case) and do her hair,makeup and last week we radied her closet to find an outfit,we found one which needs a few small accessories,but we'll get to that later.
I feel like there is so much to do,I need alot of practice too.
I've been 'eyeing' these (below) to go put a little twist to the look.

 I wanna buy them so bad,it would be awesome!

 

 

A few of my sisters goats are getting quite round (expecting some babies.) I want to roll Emily(below) over. I love seeing the baby goats frolic around in the fresh air,that is when I know its spring. =)

I got myself a 50mm 1.8 lens. So happy! I bought a hood too, sadly I ordered them at night and if you know me I don't think clearly at night and I ordered a 50mm hood,but for the 1.4. Darn it! So its to big. I'm just happy to finally own a 50mm.

                                                                       I miss my horsey.
I never thought I'ld say that cause he was such a pain. Ah,those love and hate relationships....okay,yeah there wasn't much love going on, at least on his part unless him loving making a person so mad they want to shoot you sometimes counts....

 

So in at the beginning of April I'm off to New York City. Yikes!

Okay,I've always wanted to go on a missions trip since I knew about such things and part of our youth group is going to New York to a mission where we'll serve meals,clean and help with the services. In the afternoon we're going site seeing, which should be fun,but let say I DO NOT like the city especially big ones. I went to Chicago for a few days once and I couldn't wait to be home.

I'm a born and breed country girl!!

Yeah,this trip should be fun. I would appreciate any prayers cause after we had a little 'caution' group talk I'm a little nervous now.....okay,I'm alot nervous.

So prayers for our safety,be a light to others,oh,and that I'll survive it all without having a panic attack would be great.

 

So with all that being said there probably won't be much of,  if at all, posting going on until the middle of april,so you all keep cozy and wait for spring.  Thanks for listening reading my 'really' random ramblings. This was probably the post random post ever!

                                  
                                          What are plans for the next couple weeks?
                             Have you been on a missions trip before? Or to a big city?
                                             What is your favorite part aout spring?
      

ramblings from raindrops......

Hello, there this is a post of random ramblings and what nots,just so your warned.

I decided to invest some hard earned money into a not 'so' pretty looking more professional looking dslr backpack which is actually part of a investment into my camera because,

 my Toby needs some protection at home and if I go places,plus this backpack can carry a laptop too *grins*,which I'm going to be saving up for (hopefully next year I can get one.)

Since this backpack is on backorder though its going to be a while before I can order this baby.....hmmmm should I name my backpack too?!

Hoping the free shipping offer will still be there by the time I can order it. 

"Please, B&H  keep the free shipping going until I can order this."

Do you ever feel like you wish you were younger cause all you wanted was .50 cents to buy a pack of gum or .99 cents for a random toy you see in a checkout isle?!

Now as a teenager almost ready for college I have a list as long as my arm and all of it $$$.

--------------------------------------------------

Summer has been great thus far,very hot though. Our grass has turning brown an is crunching under my feet. *blah* not the best feeling.

We had a quick rain shower last night,which made be smile big.

Whoever wrote the song, 'rain,rain go away come back some other day.' hasn't been to our area these past months!

Ah,life........I'm a very sore girl sitting on the couch with my daddy's laptop. Why?

Sunday afternoon our youth group went to one of the girls house and we set up this tarp thingy down her hill, with hoses at the top for a slip in slide. Oh,so painful when you run a land,the ground is pretty much rock solid (hence the desire for rain),so everyone got bruises and scratches,but it was still very fun! 

We used soooo much soap! We were like dumping it on ourselves and the slide. 

Our last run (we would do what we called a parade and one after another we'ld run and slide down),lol,we emptied a whole container of soap everyone was very sudsy after that.

 The most pain you felt is just the next day {today,actually},I feel sorry for the people in the youth group that have to work today. 0_0

I think the funniest part is people driving by us honking,the random tourist (we live around a amish tourist area,not totally sure it was a tourist,but it makes a good story right?!) parked and took pictures,the shirtless old motorcycle guy riding by yelling "YAY", the other guy in the car that stuck his head out a window yelling"That looks like fun, I wish I could try."

                              Yeah,for this event I wish I brought my camera to take some photos.

                                      My brothers wedding is only 1 month a way,I can't believe it!

                       My sister is making my bridesmaid dress (refused to let me make apparently I'm a horrible sewer when it comes to dresses.....ok,yeah my sister has a point I am.) she is almost done with it,I can't wait. So I thought I decided on the hairstyle I wanted for the wedding,but I think I might change my mind if I can find/learn one that looks better on me and is practical for a curly burnette in the August heat.


       But yeah,so a hot busy summer is going on here in my world with a atv somewhere in the middle.
 And just as a little side note our main computer (the one with all my photos and the one I blog on,yeah.) has a virus and is off limits in the house until we can go and get it fixed,so that means blogging is going to be slowed down alot like very little blogging going to be happening,but that doesn't mean I'm abandoning my blog. ;)

                 I hope you all are having a fantasical summer and have an awesome 4th of July!
       
     For 4th of July were going to a friends house who has a pool and to have our assesments done.
Just for all you non homeschoolers, assesments are when at the end of a school year a teacher looks at your work and signs a paper saying we did our school for our grade etc...

             

                                                 What are you doing this 4th of July?

Tired.....

                     I was tired of being an Anne Shirley without a Diana,

                                        Tired of never fitting in,

                             Tired of someone always being better,

                                    Tired of feeling worthless,

                              Tired of not having a bosom friend,

                                    Tired of asking who am I?

                                Tired of trying to find my cliche,

                                          Tired of being tired!

                          But Someone told me they'd be my Diana,

                             Someone told me you fit in with me,

                             Someone told me I'm not comparable,

                             Someone told me I'm worth His life,

               Someone told me He'll be more then a bosom friend,

                   Someone told me to follow Him and I'll discover,

                                  Someone told me to be me,

                         Someone carried me,so I could sleep.

    Thank you Jesus for being my someone.

I've been making.... A friends birthday gift, (3 birthdays to buy/make for in June. :) )



I've been smelling like.... My sisters goats since I'm taking care of them while my sisters recooperating.

I've been....Checking out what my lil' brother discovered. 

                      And I haven't been...... posting enough. *insert innocent face here*

Why Hungry for the Hunger games?

                        
                             How many of you read Hunger Games or seen the movie yet?!

(from pinspire.com)

      I finished the Hunger Games book Sat. night,and made the decision not to watch the movie.
While I was reading Hunger Games I was thinking the whole time if this book will turn out okay and I can watch it....I literally felt the devil and God wrestling over my hearts decision throught this whole book,but in the end God gave a peace about my decision.
 (Warning: This post are the kuhzillion thoughts that are buzzing around in my head.)

 It is not that I don't want to watch the movie (trust me its going to take alot of work for me not to want to watch it) its...well.....let me explain while I was reading the book I kept noting things in it that is totally wrong. I must give credit to the author though by adding the part where Katniss sacrifices herself for her little sister was probably a most appealing part for chirstians and draws us in to the theater to watch with a 'good reason' to see it.
 Is this the kind of movie we should support though with our money and by paying to see the movie were saying, 'keep these movies coming.' I can't help,but look at movies and see how Hollywood is desensitzing children and adults to sin and death. The more movies that you watch with imorality, sin and death the more were immuned to it making us fall deeper into sin and think less of it.

Even though the Hunger Games book ended in kind of a suspense moment,like "whats going to happen" I more then likely will NOT read the next book. Though I know you shouldn't rely on what others say,but I've heard that the next few books are very dark,even more violence and its just really dark. Which makes be appalled that public school students are made to read this series in 4th grade if I had a child in 7th grade I wouldn't want him to even read the first book. 9th grade maybe depending on his or hers maturity. The Hunger Games mentioned nudity quite a few times and mentions a guy (Cinna, Katniss's stylist.) looking over Katniss when she has no clothes that TOTALLY appalled me.
And knowing that guys minds are visual I think if they read that part of the book would make them visualize that and I don't know about you ,but I wouldn't want my brother,son or husband to read that.

My sinful flesh REALLY wants to watch the movie,but I know in my heart that it would be wrong for me to watch it cause I know that my sinful flesh will love it,but my heart will know God will not.
           
           What I thought of is I CANNOT see Jesus sitting in the theater watching the Hunger Games and coming out and saying, "That was a pretty good movie despite the violence and the sad parts."  I think Jesus would be looking around the theater, looking at the audiences faces and thinking why would anybody pay and be happy to see a movie, where kids kill kids,where a girl pretends to be romantice with a guy at age 16, why would anyone smile at all in this movie and how can they come out saying," I like that movie." Why when it comes out on dvd would people buy it and watch it more then once.
          When I see Jesus in the theater watching Hunger games I see Him with tears streaming down his face watching the audience and crying out to God for this very messed up world.

Another random thing I thought of was this movie was kind of feministic, Katniss saves Peetas life, she risks her life to save him later on...etc....why is the girl the tough one out of the two?! But I know Peeta kind of does the same in the beginning,but Katniss I think was a little bit more risky in endevors.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Now I know A LOT of you have most likely have watched this movie and probably disagree with me,but even if you disagree I'ld like to hear your comments and what you thought of it and what you thought of this post.
     
                                Have a wonderful day and I look foreward to your thoughts.
