Problemo...

So here's the deelio...I've apparently used up all my storage on this here old blogger, and...I'm not sure what to do... for the past little while I've been eeking out the very last of what's left, uploading one picture at a time, but it is not longer working.

I'm not going to buy storage because I'm a poor seventeen year old girl...hm...

I can't not show pictures considering I'm almost done with my 365 project...

I may be moving to somewhere else even though that is a HUGE pain...

so...to the blank space that I'm sending this out to, it may be a while...but you're used to it. :)

What If I Am The One

Saving A City

You know Sodom and Gomorrah, the cities in the bible? Well, I was thinking about how Abraham asks if God will destroy the righteous along with the wicked and then asks if, 50 then 40, 30, 20, 10 righteous people would keep God from destroying the city. I think that if Abraham had asked if one righteous person could save it, God would've said yes.

What if I am that one?

Okay, so there are lots of righteous people, I know. But there are also a lot that are NOT doing good things. So what if you were the person that would save a city right now if you were righteous. Would you have done enough in your life up to this exact moment that would mean God would save a city just for you?

Have I lived my life in a way that when it came to be considered "righteous" I would fit the bill?

Just something I was thinking about.

365 Week #37

Day #252: NIGHT

My brother, sister-in-law, and two nephews all moved to Washington D.C. at the end of the summer. We did sparklers with them their last night here :).

Day #253: CLOSE UP

Day #254: COLORS

Sneak peak..be prepared! ("Mufasa, mufasa, mufasa!")

Day #255: NATURE

I saw my kitty out there sleeping and tried to take a picture from the back porch without him catching me, but he woke up--halfway.

Day #256: NATURE

Beautimus leaves! I love fall.

Day #257: NATURE

The last of our flowers...

Day #258: SELF PORTRAIT

I actually did my hair one day, so I decided I needed official documentation. :)

365 Week #36

Day #245: WATER

My sister's skipping rocks at Pineview Resevoir. We kinda skipped over a vacation this summer because of our busy schedules but we went up for a long weekend and went to the lake all the days but Sunday.

Day #246: CLOSE-UP

Looks like we went to the beach! :) 

Day #247: PEOPLE

My lovely sister on our hike!

Day #248: NATURE

The leaves were already changing up there! :)

Day #249: NATURE

We went on a drive on Sunday and got out and walked around for a while. This lady had a gorgeous garden in her front yard.

Day #250: PEOPLE

My sister, once again, swimming on Monday before we went home. We all swam but she and I just liked to lay in the shallow part and see who could throw rocks the furthest, haha.

Day #251: NATURE

On our drive home, we passed this house with a meadow of flowers as their front yard....I leaned out the window to get a picture :)

365 Week #35

These are all from my trip to Baltimore, Maryland. I went there for a college visit for volleyball.

Day #238: OBJECTS OUTSIDE

Just pretty red doors on a church we saw downtown.

Day #239: ARCHITECTURE

Day #240: PEOPLE

Day #241: VEHICLES

This car was putting along the old streets and it was really funny...it stalled right here and was jerking and lerching while whoever was driving was trying to get it started... :)

Day #242: ARCHITECTURE

Don't you just love old, red brick?!

Day #243: WATER

It's a little washed out, but this was a dock out in the water and the buildings on the other side of the bay.

Day #244: LOOKING UP

You come around a bend on the free way and the DC temple is just looming (that has sort of a negative connotation but I couldn't think of a better word...) above the trees. It is huge. When you get closer it's even more majestic. Truly incredible.

365 Week #34

Because I am sooooooo (x 1 million) behind, I'm gonna post these in sevens instead of all in one, massive post. I'll try to be caught up within the week with my posting.

Here we go:

 Day #231: VEHICLES

Shoddy workmanship...someone tried to saran wrap my car. No comment...

Day #232: NATURE

 Day #233: AROUND THE HOUSE

 Day #234: CLOSE UP

 Day #235: FOOD

Day #236: CLOSE UP

 Day #237: NATURE

365 Weeks #32-33

Day #217: SELF-PORTRAIT

Haha. Right after I use the diffuser on my hair, it is so crazy for about five minutes before it settles down a little. This is just a little after, sorta crazy but not as bad as it is RIGHT after. :)

Day #218: PEOPLE

Sweet little nephew. Dinner time!

Day #219: FOOD

I love a good Oreo.

Day #220: BLACK AND WHITE

Detergent and fabric softener. It still amazes me that I have friends that don't know how to do their laundry. :)

Day #221: COLORS

Shoe box of my lovely Tom rip-offs that Soda makes. (Did that sentence make any sense at all?)

Day #222: AROUND THE HOUSE

It was my mommy's birthday. We always hang streamers from the fan when we decorate the kitchen for birthdays.

Day #223: BLACK AND WHITE

This is the dress that I made a while back. I entered it in our county fair and got second place I think. It's kinda lame because they give out, like, twenty first place ribbons in the same category, and then a bunch of second place ones, and no third place ones. Nobody can be a loser, everyone has to win so no one feels bad. I could go off about that, but I'll spare you a monologue. (Too late!)

Day #224: SELF-PORTRAIT

This is me. Well, my eyes anyway.

Day #225: CLOSE-UP

I'm sure you all wanted to see this. It's my scar from banging my knee on a plyometric box at the gym, haha. Finally closed up. (I hit it in May.)

Day #226: COLORS

This is one of my favorite skirts. It is just flowy and wonderful.

Day #227: DRAMATIC LIGHT

Our blinds. You know the wonderful long, plastic ones that are a pain and a half? Yeah, those.

Day #228: FOOD

My sister and I bought these at the store yesterday. We're suckers for sour spray candy. :)

Day #229: LOOKING UP

This was me laying down under the coffee table my brother made and looking up into the corner. It just amuses me, the meticulous job he did of staining it. haha.

Honestly it's on the bottom and no one's every gonna see it, so why waste the stain? That's my reasoning. :)

Day #230: AROUND THE HOUSE

This is the back of our lamp that's like the Pixar one, ya know? the little switch that you turn is so stiff, I swear you need pliers to move the darn thing.

Well, I'll be in Maryland this week for a college visit so we will see how that goes.

Thanks for reading!

Retro Dress

Introducing.....my retro dress!

Simplicity had a retro section in their book and I REALLY REALLY wanted to make this dress. (Despite my mother trying to convince me it was "weird.") haha!

It was really easy. I think that the bias tape all around the edges makes it look really fabulous. :)

I'm also finding that I have and obsession with gray and yellow at this moment. I had the gray and yellow leaf fabric and then I was trying to find something to match. I had a different yellow and then I happened to look over in the clearance and this adorable yellow and white fabric was there for only 2.99 per yard! Hurray for deals! It was also supposed to have snaps where these two front pieces meet but I didn't really feel comfortable with that. (What if I wanted to eat a brownie?) So eventually I went with buttons and ribbons. 

It was so fun to make and the full skirt makes me so happy! :)

(This is my "concentrated on spinning" face.)
