Gratitude Sunday

Where has the time gone?

It feels like forever since I wrote anything on here...and my posts tell me it's been a couple months since I wrote last. 

I've had the occasional blog post written in my head, but never got on the actually blog to write it.

I could have started this year off with a recap of my 2012, or what my goals for the year are, 

but I never got around to writing those either.

Some how I find it perfect that today is when I wrote again.

There is never enough gratitude to be expressed.

and with that being said, here's some things I am grateful for at the moment:

- Changes

- My calling with the Primary kids at church

- My time with the girls I babysat, which came to an end this past Thursday

- The home I have

- My family

- Work

- Clean water

- Downsizing

- Getting to start my teaching course soon

- Almost being 22

- Feeling like I am moving in the right direction

- Fun texts to and from my brother and sister in law

- Free feeds and the company that comes with it! (It's always appreciated)

- Music for every mood

- My lil bro getting his mission call (England London South Mission!)

- Good walks and chats

- New friends

- Holidays

and so much more...

In Your Arms - Kina Grannis

Have you seen this video?

Now you have :D I saw it over at Stephanie's blog last week.
I can't believe how much went into this one video!

Who knew that a music video could take:

22 months
1,357 hours
30 people
2 ladders
1 still camera
288,000 jelly beans

and 1 very talented young woman.

And in case your curious...like me...here's the 'making of' video:

It hurts just a little too much

This song is exactly how I feel at the moment. Not in the romantic kind of love, but in the friendship kind.

Sometimes it hurts a little too much, but I want to risk it all to get it back.
The next few weeks are going to be torture.
I just hope it'll be enough.

We Are Young

I am so obsessed with this song at the moment!

The film clip however is really random and I will never understand what

it has to do with the song...

A Thousand Years

This is the point where I reveal yet again my love for the Twilight Series :D
I heard this song, which is on the Breaking Dawn album, and I love it!

And why wouldn't you??

I am so going to see Breaking Dawn Part I while in Japan! Oh the fun that'll be.
Especially trying to buy the ticket :P

Landslide

Absolutely in love with this song at the moment.
Ever since I saw it on Glee I just love listening to it.

Glee is coming back!!

I love Glee :D

I am more than excited it is back on US screens today/tomorrow for them. 

Then I get to see it via the interwebs soon after :D

So to celebrate here are a couple of my favourite songs from last season...

Do you like Glee? What is your favourite song?

Gratitude Sunday

Firstly Happy Father's Day!! :D Especially my own dad, aka Papa Smurf and my Heavenly Father.

This week I am grateful for:

- Skype sessions with my family, even if my niece does crack it because she's sick and my brother does weird things.

- Dancing sessions in the lounge room to random songs

- Cookies!! Taste so good, but so bad for you 

- The spider on the wall above the shower not crawling down!

- Spring! 

- Jess and my new tradition of toasting seasons :D

- Getting to celebrate Nelly's birthday

- Taking a trip around Hobart on a double decker bus and realising I have so much to explore right here

- Starting a Christmas project for a family member

- Getting extra work, such a blessing!

- The primary kids...they are too cute!! Well most of the time :P

- Sleep! I am forever grateful for that!

- Reminders

- Opportunities to face my fears, like getting 5 mins notice to teach a lesson in YSA sunday school

- A very nice e-mail from a friend and follower...you know who you are :D

- LIFE! :D

Someone Like You

I am absolutely in love with this song at the moment...not sure why I just am.

You really should listen to it if you haven't already.

Anybody else like this song?

Who Says...?

I'm loving this song at the moment!

I hate when people try to tell me I can't be something or put me down.

Who says I can't be me?
