That Fluffy White Stuff...

IT'S SNOWING!!!! :D I'm really excited that it's snowing and all, but isn't it a little wierd that it's snowing now, in late February, when it didn't even hardly snow in the middle of winter!?! Washington is just plain wierd.... >.<

And now, because it's snowing, the tennis courts at my school are also covered in snow... *sigh* Which of course means I can't play today :,(  I might go play at the Sprinker Center courts though if the weather doesn't clear up. Seriously though, why is it snowing now???

Here's a few pictures of the fluffy white stuff from my backyard :)

These first two are the view out of my kitchen window. The third is from standing on my patio outside.

I think snow must be one of the most beautiful things in the world because you just can't capture it in a picture.


Always,

A woman should be so lost in God, that a man needs to seek Him in order to find her. ♥

"A woman should be so lost in God, that a man needs to seek Him in order to find her. ♥"

You know, I really love that quote. It may sound silly, but I think it's a good reminder to all women that their man should respect them and love them enough to go through anything to find her. I may get a little lost in my thinking sometimes, and doesn't everyone, but its little things and quotes like this that really remind me of my love and appreciation for God. It's not just the beauty of the words themselves, but the deeper meaning. And I don't just mean that a woman should be respected, what I'm trying to say is that by loving God, you open yourself up to so many positive, for lack of a better word, "things" in life. I'm not saying either that loving God is the only way to live. Of course not, I just think it gives you a better picture and perspective on life to have someone like that in your life. I'm not trying to preach or anything, it's just that I was looking through blogs today, and came across some really inspiring blogs about God and how he has affected people's lives. It made me remember to always be thankful for what I have, and made me really want to be more active in a church again. I would really like to find a church that I can attend consistently its just that I feel like I never have time. I don't think that is a bad thing, but I just wish I could devote more time to God. ♥

God bless you and please pray for me too :)

Always,

February So Far! And Tennis!!!

Well, not many interesting things have happened to me this month...Another valentine's day has gone by and I am yet again without a valentine, but hey, I'm still young! On the 17th, I graduated from driver's school (yay!!) and come october, I will be 16 and officially licensed!! It's gonna be so nice to be able to drive myself to all my activities and not always worry about whether my parents are working or not. Only 8 months left!! Better enjoy it while I can, because after that I'll have to pay for gas :( And everyone knows that gas prices are sky-rocketing right now...Ya, not looking forward to that part of it...

I'm on mid-winter break right now, so no school for a week (yes!!!) !!! And after break is over, next monday, TENNIS STARTS!!!! I'm soooo excited x 1000! I've always loved tennis and I've played with my family since I was little, you know the "haha-fun-play-without-caring-about-rules" type of playing, but this will be my first time playing on a real team with the rules (which I honestly don't even know yet xD). I'm pretty nervous for the first day of practice, but we are doing some non-mandatory practices over break plus I've been practicing a bunch with friends, so hopefully I won't do too bad!! I feel a little guilty cause I just got a new $100 (eeeek!!!) racket and a pair of $90 (eeeek again!!!) tennis shoes, but I absolutely love them and as long as I get a lot of use out of them, my mom doesn't mind too much. The really cool part about the racket is that we bought it at the Sprinker Pro-shop, so it's really high-end stuff, and I actually got to watch my racket be strung! Even cooler, my racket was strung by a legend!! He was ranked #3 in the nation at one point and he has coached some of the best tennis players out there!! And he strung my racket!!!

Here's a picture of the amazing racket and shoes :)


And one more big piece of news...I now have 3 followers!!! (yippeee!! a personal record xD) Thanks Kellie and Kralovics, and of course my mama :) You guys make me feel loved!! ♥
