marvelous {Christmas}

Well I hope that everyone had a super amazing fantastic marvelous Christmas!

I did! Full of family and Christ and happiness! And food... So much food...

Anyway, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and here is the marvelous:

Things I love:

-Jesus Christ

-Mary, for being probably the bravest and most amazing woman ever!

-Joseph, for being possibly the most fabulous husband in all history. Wow.

-The Shepherds, for spreading the word and for coming to worship baby Jesus. I am sure that Mary was grateful that He did not have to come into the world completely alone!

-The wise men, though they came later. They recognized a toddler as the future redeemer of the world. That would be so difficult... "Wise men sought Him, so should we."

-The smell of pine

-The DI right after Christmas (and any other time, but it was like... Ahhhhh!)

-Comfy shoes

-$2 cowboy boots. I am serious.

-Colorful cell phone cases

-My family

-Babies laughing

-Babies in general - they're kinda adorable.

-Cozy blankets

-Soft clothing

-Good deals

-Watching peoples' faces as they open presents

-Sleeping

-Getting a raise

-Looking awesome

-Sweatshirts

-Watching good movies that I have not previously seen

-Laughing at myself when I cry in Disney/Dreamworks/etc. animated movies

-Silver

-Christmas colors

-Getting things that I need from other people so I don't have to buy them

-Being spoiled (but only on occasion so I'm not a brat.)

-Charlie Brown

-The Wii

-Netflix

-Candycane Hershey's Kisses

-Delicious food

-People who care about other people

-The Christmas Spirit. It is real, folks. I will miss it a lot...

-Love

-Laughter

-Life

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night. :)

Marvel{ous} at this! {Mondayyyyyy}

Dear, dear lovelies.
Guess what?
I *graduate* from high school this week.
I have been so ready to graduate all year long.
And now... Though I'm ready to be done...
I don't feel ready to grow up.
After Thursday, I have to be an adult. Somewhat anyway.
I don't know if I want to do that yet. :(
I have not had a lovely high school experience...
These have not been the best years of my life...
But I've been taken care of.
I know that won't completely go away, but... I don't know.
I told my friend earlier that I probably just worry too much.
Don't get me wrong, I'm EXCITED as all get out!
Everything will work out, I know that. I'm just anxious, I suppose.


Anyway, I need to get my marvelous on. Today was a very Monday-ish Monday.
Things I loved about today:
-Sleeping in!
-50 points of extra credit in Psych, which brought me up to a solid A!
-Getting my yearbook early 'cos I'm a senior. :)
-Being questioned about prank texting... :)
-Good music. Like this song, which has been stuck in my head all day! :)

-Harmonizing with the radio, as always! It's the best!
-Not dying in a car accident. Even though traffic was awful and I thought I might!
-Seeing friends that I haven't seen in a long time.
-Wearing my cowboy boots. :)
-Having weird, awesome, philosophical text conversations.
-Pondering my life
-Scripture mastery memorization tools! :)
-Hemp bracelets.
-Rain when it's hot outside! It felt soooo good.
-Taking shoes off after getting a blister. Also feels soooo good. :)
-Feeling somewhat in shape.
-Feeling attractive!
-Coming to terms with my new haircut... We cut off a few inches last week and it's been weird!
-Summer weather! For some of the day anyway. :)
-The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!
-Realizing that this week is super pointless and I can do things I want to instead of sitting in a classroom doing absolutely nothing because the teacher is just as worn out as all the students are.
-Wearing my nine-year-old brother's clothing. :)
-Things working out after they've failed for quite a while!


Life is so incredibly good... I have nothing to complain about. :)

Marvelous!

I blame Blogger this time. I tried to log in and post several times this week, only to find an out-of-service type message every time... It was rather frustrating! Anyhow, I am here, as are some marvelous things.
Things I loved about... Forever? (Maybe just the past two weeks.)
-The fact that I was super upset that "Rolling in the Deep" (by the lovely Adele; I posted it here) was number one on the iTunes top ten. I've officially become a musical non-comformist. Or something.
-Fancy dreams that involve awesome things! Like pretty yellow convertibles and fantastic hugs and not dying!
-Prom. And my big red dress... :)
-Discovering new, lovely songs that I didn't know I had on my iPod! This time it was "July Flame" by Laura Veirs. It was a Single of the Week on iTunes at some point, I guess!

-The gorgeous 75-degree weather we've been having! It is so nice to be able to wear whatever I so desire instead of pants, long sleeves, coats, sweatshirts... You get the picture. 

-I found our copy of Photoshop Elements! It isn't all of Photoshop, but it's something. :)

-Having two jobs... And an interview for a third one on Monday! I'm making bank! Or will be if anyone ever starts sending me/giving me checks...

-Realizing that next week is the last full week of high school that I'll ever have!

-Taking the test for my World Civ packet and breathing a sigh of relief... I'm going to graduate! :)

-Silver nail polish

-Mexican jewelry, especially earrings like this and bracelets like this!

-Running in the Salt Lake City chapter of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure!

-Chalk art!

-Weddings!

-Cupcakes!

-The last A'Capella concert of my life! It was bittersweet.

-Ice cream, especially with friends

-Phineas and Ferb :)

-This movie, and the insane crush I have on this fictional male romantic lead.

-This outfit:

Blazer: Hand-me-down  Dress: H&M  Leggings: Target  Cowboy Boots: D.I.

... the view from our house...

... and my cowboy boots, just to top it all off.

 -The fact that I actually had an outfit that I liked well enough to post... I have this whole aspiration to jump on the fashion blogger bandwagon, as I am obsessed with them... But I don't like my clothing choices enough.Yet. Gotta do some hardcore thrifting for college one of these days. Someday soon I'll try out Kendi's 30 for 30 challenge. :)
I'm sure I missed about a zillion and a half things, but there you are. :)
That's all, folks!

Maaaarvelous... Tuesday?

Yes, yes, yes. I missed three Mondays in a row. I am well aware. Soo... It's Tuesday again. :) That's okay. I'll be better!
Things I loved about today this week the last three weeks:
-Spirit week dress ups
-Being reminded of my childhood! Like:
     *How much I disliked Aaron Carter (For good reason, too! Look at him! He was a weirdo!)
     *How bangle bracelets were all the rage, as well as
     *Scrunchies
     *Overalls
     *Pokemon
     *SO much more. Those were the days.
     *Full House and other lovely TV shows that didn't stink.
-Finding legitimate cowboy boots at the DI for $10, and wearing them way too often
-Tutus
-Spirit Bowl
-Spirit Bowl being OVER
-Los Angeles... Just in general
-Our amazing bus driver for the A'Capella trip, Dan! He approved of my boots. :)
-What humidity does to my hair! It looks better in California! Look! Here and here. See?
-Being asked to Senior Ball at Disneyland by Nicholas Shrum! :) He wins. So much.
-Disneyland, the Happiest Place on Earth!
