packing for the summer

This picture says it all. I took all the clothes out of my closet and drawers, sorted through what I wanted to take and what was going to stay then folded everything back up to put into bags. Packing for the summer is a big deal!
 Sammy laid on the floor with his head in my lap the whole time. :) I love Sammy, he's such a delightful companion.

Finals!

I have biology finals in the morning! I'm so excited to just get it done. :) One less class to worry about, and school is almost out. Yes! Today grandpa and I went to a park and studied for 90 min. It was lovely and I feel very prepared for the test. That's why I'm doing a blog post and not studying for the test right now. ;) Pray for me!

my painting

    So I was listening to this Norah Jones song called "Painter Song" very good song! It inspired me to paint a picture. :) Imagine that?! So, I cut open a paper whole foods bag and duct taped (probably not a good idea) it to the wall, and go out my three purple paint samples (that I bought for my room) and my oil pastels and painted a random picture. It was fun. :) I got paint on my toes, which then transferred onto the wood floor and I put the oil pastels on my bed and believe it or not the oil color got onto my sheets. Oh well. I'll worry about that later.
    I wrote "He who promised is faithful" in white pastel across the top of my painting. You can't read it cause it's backwards in this picture :/ sorry about that! I got that phrase from Hebrews 10:23 where The Bible says Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful I was reminded of that verse in Bible study this morning while I was mindlessly flipping through the new testament and I had this verse underlined in pink and highlighted in blue. That'll wake you up! During worship today we sang How Deep a fathers love for us. Such a wonderful song! When the lyrics said "I will not boast in anything, no gifts, no power, no wisdom, but I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection" Once again I was reminded of He who promised is faithful. He is all we have to boast in and what a great promise he has given us. :)
    Now I will tell you what my picture is of. On the right side there is a lot of different flower types in all different colors. The left side is the mountain scape which then fades into rolling green hills with a patch of blue flowers. The hills then fade into a beach, with a palm tree and a flying kite with whales in the surf. In the right top corner is the sun, big and orange. :)

Cinnamon Challenge

video
Elliot decided he wanted to give the cinnamon challenge a try...for those of you that don't know the cinnamon challenge is the challenge to swallow a spoonful of cinnamon. Which is really dangerous (somebody's lung collapsed doing it). Elliot changed it to trying to keep the cinnamon in his mouth for 30 seconds. :) Enjoy the video.

Lemon Tea cookie

I finally made a lemon dessert! Yippee :) I decided to make lemon tea cookies. I found the recipe in our Better Homes and Garden cookbook. They're very lemony and good. Just wanted to report that I finally fulfilled my lemon dessert task. :)
