Today I Am...{1}

I figured I haven't posted in a very long time, so I should get back at it!  I'm using this "Today I Am..." theme that my sister did a few times on  her blog . It looks like fun, so here goes!

Today I Am...

(And lately I have been...)

{writing}

This post, and lately writing in my journal and of course writing for school a bit for answering questions and adding thoughts to interesting points. 

I'm not particularly good at writing, and I don't like to so I don't normally write for fun. Sometimes I get ideas for stories, but they hardly ever work out so I've given up for now.

{reading}

Right now, I'm reading a book on my own called North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell,  I've also been reading my Bible a bit more lately, since I have a new Word of Life devotions book! 

Last summer I read 3 books within a couple weeks, they are: The Lightkeeper's Bride, The Lightkeeper's Ball, and A Vision of Lucy. They were all wonderful books and I highly recommend each one!
I also recommend reading the first book in the Lightkeeper's series, The Lightkeeper's Daughter. 

I also got a book for Christmas (which I have since finished) it's the last book in the Dream House King's series (Frenzy).  It is an amazing young adult adventure series, and I loved each and every book!

{listening}

Right now I'm listening to Casting Crowns station on Pandora radio, so basically a variety but mostly all Christian in some form with some exceptions. Loving Carrie Underwood's version of How Great Thou Art!! I listen to Francesca Battistelli's  CD Hundred More Years at night, when I go to bed. Lately I've been listening to Les Miserables music (and when I'm not listening to it, I'm humming it. Haha!) My sister is to blame for that one! I can't wait to see the movie, hoping to see it in the theater soon! 

{watching}

Lately I've been watching movies with my sister. We recently finished watching the 4th season of BBC Merlin, which we both loved SO MUCH! We can't wait for the 5th season to come on Netflix! And I've also been watching Les Miserables 10th and 25th concerts with my sister. We also watch videos on Youtube like Messy Mondays, Jostie Flicks, and Tim Hawkins (comedy).

{looking}
Around outside and wondering why there isn't any snow. Here in my part of Kentucky there's been no snow for weeks! I find it rather depressing.

{learning}
I'm learning that geology is really fun! Learning the truth about our world, and the rocks and fossils we find today is amazing! I've been doing the Geology course from Answers in Genesis, and their curriculum is wonderful!

{feeling}
A bit down. Since moving here to Kentucky in June 2012, we haven't yet settled into a church, and I personally haven't made any friends. Acquaintances yes, but "friends" no. Especially ones my age. I'm hoping soon we'll find a church and I'll be able to join a youth group.

{anticipating}
Working somewhere very special soon. Hopefully. Making friends soon. Dinner, and the great chit-chat that goes on around the dinner table.

{wishing}
And hoping, for motivation to be able to keep up with posting here! I seem to come on strong and fizzle out quickly. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with it! Also wishing maybe for some subjects to take pictures of! Since we've been here in KY my photography has taken a couple huge steps back from where it was. I don't have as many sunsets, or flowers to take pictures of! :-(

{loving}
Music, sudoku puzzles, warm blankets, warm kitties, warm slippers, candy canes, glow-in-the-dark snowflakes, and going to Tuesday night Bible study. Bible study has been such a blessing! It's nice to get out of the house and be able to hang out with different people at least once a week.

Well, hello again! Sorry I haven't been posting in almost a year, but after my birthday we got really busy with moving, and now that it's a new year, I feel like I can get a fresh start! 

So what are some awesome things that have been going on in your life?

Have a wonderful weekend!!
