I like the cold.

I AM… Lillian.

I WANT…  to live my live to the glory of God and be the woman He wants me to be.  

I HAVE… more than I deserve. 

I KEEP… tickets and letters and photos and stubs of things.

I WISH I COULD… fly {like peter pan}, and visit far off lands.  

I HATE… goodbyes, labels {not clothing labels, people labels}

I FEAR…  losing my family.
I HEAR…  the rumbling of my stomach.

messing around in photoshop.  I am just so clever.

I DON'T THINK…  that I am grown up yet.   

I REGRET…  every time I've let down my parents.
I LOVE…  my family, my God, mounded up comforters on a cold morning, cold apple cider, hot tea, knitting, reading a good book at two in the morning, organizing things, getting dressed, thick socks, yummy smelling body spray, hair ribbons, taking pictures in the quiet, laughing, playing guitar all alone, singing loudly til someone tells me to stop, listening to powerful music, wind in my face.

I AM NOT… fluent in french… yet. 
I DANCE…  everywhere.
I SING…  all the time.
I NEVER…  seem to be thouroughly satisfied with any artistic endevour.

I RARELY…  hang up all my laundry.
I CRY WHEN…  my friendships are rocky.

I AM NOT ALWAYS… awake.       
I'M CONFUSED ABOUT… most things, most of the time, especially math things. 

I NEED…  Jesus' patience and love. 
I SHOULD…  get off the computer, and go to sleep.  Like, now.

Goodnight.  ♥

A Birthday.

Yesterday, Emily turned nine.  She's my baby sister and she's already nine, which is pretty crazy, considering I still think Camille (who's twelve) is eight.  *sniff*  I love them very much.  For her birthday Emily had a couple friends over and we went to the mall for a Scavenger Hunt.

mustacheee.  Isn't she so grown up? ahhh

It involved cartwheels in the food court, testing many perfumes in Bath and Body Works, asking for autographs and other such things.  The final and secret thing on the list was for Emily to get her ears pierced. 

Before

After. 

She was just a little bit excited.
