Thinking About... Spring Photography!

Hey everybody! I just took some pictures and wanted to share them with you!

I hope you enjoyed! Today was so beautiful; I hope spring is here for good ☺! Although it did snow yesterday... ☺ 

How is your spring coming? Do you have flowers yet?

Have a great rest of your day!

Thinking About... Spring Break!

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been gone from blogging for so long! But I'm finally on Spring Break!!! Yay!
Since I have free time for about a week and a half, I've been organizing my room and the photos on my computer. I'm trying to make my room more minimalist and organized, along with my life. I probably won't get rid of too many items in my room, but I do need to clean out my closet :). I have a lot of clothes that just don't fit or I don't wear. I need to go shopping for new clothes, but the problem is that I hate shopping, lol! Oh well... I'll just have to push though, because clothes are necessary :).

I also want to start reading more. I used to read all the time, but with my busy school schedule reading has become almost non-existent :(. I am currently reading 44 Scotland Street by Alexander McCall Smith. I am enjoying it so far! What book are you currently reading?

Two songs I have been listening to are A Drop in the Ocean and One Grain of Sand by Ron Pope. I'm trying to somewhat learn these songs on the ukulele/piano. They are both beautiful songs!

I hope you all have a great weekend!

A beloved animal's death. Its just sad and depressing...

Oooh good question, I would probably want to read a mystery, that way by the end of the year I would have figured out how to solve it and also how to write a mystery :). Nothing to scary though... The Westing Game,or something similar :).

9. I love making bread, eating bread, and the smell of bread :).
10. I love planting plants and watching them grow.
11. I love quotes!

1. What is your favorite movie? Ooh, hard question! I have lots of favorite movies... but the one I can think of at the moment is, Catch Me If You Can (it is an amazing movie. It really gives you a different view on how you trust someone due to what they looks like and how they act. There is one scene that needs to be fast forwarded though, just so you know.

2. Favorite genre of books? Fiction definitely, but besides that I like pretty much anything :).

3. Books that are releasing in 2016 you are looking forward to reading? The Last Ride: An Andrea Carter Book by Susan Marlow!

4. If you could travel anywhere in the U.S., where would you go? Back to Disneyland!!! I had such a great time there :)!

5. Do you play any instruments? 
I can play the ukulele and the piano.
6. What is your favorite classical song? I really don't listen to very much classical music, except on the rare occasion that I am studying and feel like listening to classical music. But I  have played Fur Elise on the piano and I like that song.
7. Surprise! You've just been given a ticket to meet your favorite author! Who is it?
AAAHHH I don't know :)! I don't really have a favorite author, but if I wanted to talk to an author I think I would choose J.R.R. Tolkien or C.S. Lewis. They are such amazing authors and I don't think we would run out of thinks to say :). I will need a time machine though :D.
8. Favorite outdoor activity? I love ultimate Frisbee and Cliff jumping in the summer time :D
9. Would you rather do laundry or clean the kitchen? (I know, I'm making you work ;P) 
Laundry definitely! Even though hanging up clothes isn't the most fun; it is still better than dealing with dirty dishes.
10. What is you favorite book in the Bible and why is it your favorite? Probably Psalms :). I have memorized a lot of Psalms, and I like how it is written poetically :).
11: Who is your favorite historical character and why? 

Ooh good question! There are many people I like and appreciate! For some reason while thinking of an answer to this question, I remembered George M. Cohan. He wrote the song "You're a Grand Old Flag" and many other songs. There is a statue of him in Time's Square in New York.

"Cohan was called "the greatest single figure the American theatre ever produced – as a player, playwright, actor, composer and producer."^[3] On June 29, 1936, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt presented him with the Congressional Gold Medal for his contributions to World War I morale, in particular the songs "You're a Grand Old Flag" and "Over There."^[20] Cohan was the first person in any artistic field selected for this honor, which previously had gone only to military and political leaders, philanthropists, scientists, inventors, and explorers." -wikipedia.org

Ok here are your questions!

1. What is your favorite snack?

2. Do you play any musical instruments?
