Day nine. Something your proud of in the past few days.

So I looked up the definition of pride, and this is what I came up with.

-A feeling of self-respect and personal worth

-A high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc.

-A becoming or dignified sense of what is due to oneself or one's position or character; self-respect; self-esteem.

Yikes! These all seem like pretty self-centered definitions to me! :-o Trust me, I am already plenty selfish without having to spend an entire blog post on it. So, instead of spending this post on something I am proud of, I am going to spend it on something I have been blessed with!

1. My mom. If I had to use just one phrase to describe my mother with, it would have to be, "practically perfect in every way." I love you mom!

2. My cat. Being able to confide everything in him and knowing that he won't tell is a great blessing. ;)

3. My sweet cousin Anna. Her prayers and encouragement have gotten me through several tough times recently. Thanks Anna!

4. And most of all, God's tremendous grace. "His mercies are renewed every morning!"

Day eight. Short term goals for this month and why.

Right now I am just trying to get through the month. No joke. I have a midterm due tonight, so goodbye.

Day seven. A picture of someone/something that has a big impact on me.

Oh yeah baby! Cupcakes! If cupcakes are cute and happy, they make me happy. If they are ugly and taste bad, I get mad too. I have several inside jokes with them, so every time they are mentioned I smile.  I associate them with different memories I have made. Don't you judge me. :)

Day six. Favorite super hero and why.

I must admit that I have never given a lot of thought to this question. It would probably be Iron Man. I mean, he is just so cool! I want a suit that can fit in a briefcase! And he can fly! I like him the best because he uses his brains, not his "super powers."

Isn't he awesome??

Day five. A picture of somewhere I have been.

This is a picture of a cabin I stayed in in Gatlinburg TN. We were at a conference for a week. I have been to more exciting places than this, I just don't have any pictures!

Day four. The last movie I watched

OK OK, I know I haven't been super faithful at this daily posting thing, so I will double up until I catch back up!

The last movie I watched was Pride and Prejudice. I watched it yesterday while I was in bed with the flu.
I watched the Keira Knightly version, which, in my opinion, is by far the best one!

Day three. Me and a friend!

This is me with my dear dear dear friend Amanda. It is at my sisters wedding.

Day two. The meaning behind my blog name.

OK, well I tried to post last night, but for some reason it wouldn't let me. Oh well.

     I don't really have a hidden meaning in my blog name. I am inspired by this name and I can't really explain why. I think it would be best if everyone just came up with a hidden meaning for it, because I don't have one. :)
