I'm back! I'm back!

Aaaaaalright, so after six weeks with no internet and the BUSIEST September I've ever had in my entire life to date, I'm back with some more words and pictures and things :)

So first things first:

Day thirty five:
A picture of something that can always make you smile.

Call me a child and I'll throat punch you. I love making bears, or GETTING bears. It's my favorite thing in the world.

NEXT THINGS:

Guh life. Pause please. I'm car shopping right now and I have my heart set on one but there's a bit of a loan in the way of me and my dream car. Soooo. We'll see how that goes.

Work is bleh. Enough said.

New house is lovely but I'm not settled in yet. It always takes me like a month to actually move all my stuff out of boxes, but now it's not my choice. I'm waiting for my dad to come over and help me finish plastering and sanding on my one wall before I paint and I don't want to unpack and get comfy if Imma paint right away. It's going to be such awesome paint :3

I feel quite alone lately. Like, I have to take on the whole world by myself. It's intimidating. I'm scared.

Also:



Just in case you needed a reminder, or to be told in the first place, that life doesn't last forever. Make the best of it. Don't be a jerk. Just love, only love.

I'm going to sleep eventually, but for now, I'll just curl up in my bed. Goodnight my friends :)

I wants a hug :/

Day thirty four:
A picture of your favorite memory.

I don't like this one because I feel like I have so many 'favorite memory' pictures. I chose the day I met my brother because it's a more recent one and there's some outstandingly funny pictures from that day. That being said, I wish I knew how to create a .gif of these pictures, because it would just be one of the funniest things.

(I have no idea what either me OR my mom is doing.)

The Bunker missions team will be home day after tomorrow, and I could not be more thankful if I tried. They are all (currently) alive, and safe, and looking forward to returning. And although I've thrived on my own these last two weeks, I will be very grateful to have Tom a fifteen minute walk away from me again.

Goodnight all <3

Looooove this movie

Day thirty three:
A picture of your favorite Disney movie.

I've seen it so many times. Great great movie :D

Day thirsty two:
A picture of your favorite bird.

I've loved snowy owls since I was little. I wants one. Kthanx.

xme

This was an easy one.

Day thirty one:
A picture of someone who's always been there for you.

Exodus 14:14 <3

xme

This was a very difficult post.

Day thirty:
A picture of someone you miss.

I actually had a whole list of people to choose from but in the end, the person I miss the most is someone who doesn't exist anymore.

I want to go back in time; not to regain what I've lost but to erase it completely. You can't miss something you never had, especially if all you never had was just an idea.

xme

We had absolutely no alcohol in us.

Day twenty nine:
A picture that can always make you smile.

From Mel and Heather's grad ... such a fun evening. I have no recollection of what we were doing for this picture. I recall some form of insect infestation during these pictures buuuut. Maybe I was overtired.

xme

I'm a day late on this one ...

... but I can explain why. I thought I had timed this all out so that I could get this first picture taken in time for Day twenty seven, but I apparently can't count properly. So I'm going to post twice in this entry. Here we go.

A picture of yourself and a family member.

This is my biological brother, Cam, and myself. We met today, for the first time, and it was life-changing. I'm so thankful he felt the desire to contact us, and so blessed to have met him today.

Day twenty eight:
A picture of something you're afraid of.

Entonophobia is the irrational fear of wood ticks. I hyperventilate. Don't ask me why, they just ... really, really bother me.

xme

I kind of wish it was tomorrow already.

Day twenty six:
A picture of something that means a lot to you.

I love my iPod. It's been through a lot with me, and if it could talk, it would tell some pretty sweet stories. I've had it for six years and it's really a great little machine.
-----
I really need a hug today. Does anyone have one to spare?

xme

I'VE MADE IT 25% OF THE WAY THROUGH!!

Day twenty five:
A picture of you last year, and now; how have you changed since then?

Last year:

Now:

I have changed infinitely since this picture. I barely even recognize my old self, emotionally and spiritually, at least. Physically, I'm very much the same. Same build, same style, same hair. But inside? I'm less dependant on others for my confidence. I'm stronger, and more resiliant. I'm less irritable, I'm more positive, and I stress about things less. I'm content, I'm happy. I enjoy life, even though life is very difficult for me right now. I've rarely been as satisfied with my place in life as I am right now; I feel as if I am precisely where God wishes me to be.

Real life updates now though! I just got off Skype with Tom, and so far, everyone's doing well. They're all having a great time, experiencing tons of new things, and eating some seriously awesome food by the sounds of it. They've seen a lot of rain, but that's keeping the temperature down and helping them get accustomed to the climate a little easier. So that's a blessing!

Aside from that, work is tough, but I'm managing. I'm just sort of done with working two jobs, and I suppose it's wearing on me.

On Wednesday, I get to meet my brother. It feels like I've been waiting for this day my whole life, I'm so incredibly excited.

Also, next Sunday is the Skillet concert (I AM SO PUMPED). Saw Transformers 3 yesterday and it was great. I'll have to see it again with Tom when he gets back, because I was verrrrry tired and didn't quite keep up at the end. But I'll try harder next time.

I'm out. Later all you pretty people :)

Stay with me here now, and never surrender
