Ciao 2012...

So, Here we are. 12-31-12. It's been crazy. yup. 

Here comes a new year!

I'm looking forward to so much in the coming year. I'm terribly excited about it. 

but for now, I'mma take a second and point out a few of my favorite discoveries of the past year! 

Bloggies:

Occasional Randomness

Time Is Passing

The Flybird

Hannah Nicole

These are blogs that I found this past year and that I just love to death. They're all beautiful ladies who's blogs I enjoy every single post. :) I've really enjoyed discovering new blogs and new people this year! 

Friends:

Caitria

Daniel

Abigail

Josiah

Aerial

Regan

These are all people I had "Known" before...ya know, but this year I feel like they're actually friends. Like people I look forward to hanging out with and enjoy being around. I'm so glad to know these people. I love it when God brings new people into my life! I can't wait to see who I'll meet in 2013. Maybe I'll just get to know some of the people I already "know" a little better! 

Movies:

The Avengers

Gladiator

The Illusionist

The Dark Knight Rises

The Bourne Legacy

These are a few of my new favorite movies! I'm pretty sure all of these except "The Illusionist" and "Gladiator" came out this year....anyways. yeah. Epic, epic movies. 

Celebs:

Tom Hiddleston 

Jeremy Renner

Matt Smith

I just, this year, fell in love with these people! They're all some of my top favorite actors ever now. 

~~~~~~~~~~~

I can't wait to see what God has in store for me in 2013! 

I've leaned so much this year. I've been through some rough times, and some not so rough times and some epic times and some not so epic times. They were all worth it. They're what makes life what it is, right? :) <3 <3

I don't have many resolutions....I'm going to restart and get all the way through the 60 day Insanity workout that I started las Summer. i only got halfway through it last year and really wanna do the whole thing this year! :D Plus, I'm going off soda for the year. I'm sure i can do it. I'm not terribly fond of soda anyway, so I figured I wouldn't have soda just 'cause when I can make a healthier choice! So, a year without soda. :) Here we come! 

I hope you had a beautiful 2012, and I hope 2013 is gorgeous. 

Happy New Year

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Something Noni said in her post today got me thinkin'.

she said "I feel like I'm waiting for life to happen most days." And my first thought was, "I absolutely sympathize with that." then I got thinkin', "I wonder how many people feel that way, and spend their whole life just waiting on life to happen and miss what's going on right in front of them?"

and...I don't wanna miss right now. I want to cherish where God has me right now and grow with every trial and experience. I've always had a hard time with being patient for things. and I know I need to be patient with life. I have sooo many dreams and hopes for my life eventually, but if those are God's will. He will work them out! For now, I need to leave it to Him and live right now. Where he has me. And *let* life happen, instead of being impatient for it. 

{James 4:14-For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time, then vanisheth away.(KJV)} 

Don't rush life. It'll go by faster than you think. It's good to dream and have hopes and to look forward to your future, but don't waste too much of your life waiting for it. Trust God, Cherish the time He's given you. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm not usually deep or preachy on here...I'm not very good at it. But those are my thoughts and feelings right now. <3 I hope it made sense to you. Any of you. :) 

Love you guys.

Five Years. a kinda silly post...

Five years doesn't sound like very far from now. 

There's an ant on the screen. That has absolutely nothing to do with what this post was gonna be but it stole all of my attention there for a sec. I Shall name him Jim. I don't know anybody named Jim. Now I do. :D 

Back to what I was saying. Five years doesn't seem like very much time. 

In five years, I will be 22. 

I will probably have a husband and maybe even children! 

No, I don't have a boyfriend. Heck, I don't even know a guy right now that I am interested in in that way. :) lol

I'm just saying, that  in five years a lot can happen. 

My youngest brother will be 9 years old. My oldest brother will be 32. (old fart. ;) lol) 

I could have a lot more nieces and nephews and maybe even a few new sisters-in-law. 

(uh-oh....I think mum just killed Jim. May he rest in peace. <3) 

In Five years, so much will be different! It is insane to think about! It's terribly exciting. ^_^

I'm so glad that we don't know how our lives are going to turn out. Aren't you? If we did, don't you think that we would always be trying so hard to change it, or keep it the same that we would ruin it? By not knowing, we can just live. All we have to do is trust that God knows best and do our best to obey Him and seek his will. :) I love life. I am so thankful that God chose for me to exist. Chose to put me right here. Right in this family, in this mobile home, on top of our rocky hill. <3 

I can't wait to see what Five years will bring my way. ^_^

How I Feel Right Now...

kinda chilly....My family tends to like it quite a bit cooler in here than I do. I spent a lot of time standing or sitting about 2 inches or less from our wood stove. :) Right now I am wrapped in my fuzzy robe. It is cozy. I am in fuzzy socks too. Later when it is time to hang with the fam or watch a show or something I'll be wearing fuzzy pants as well. Yes, I am a fan a fuzzy clothes. xD lol.

sleepy...I went to bed a little later than usual last night and was up pretty early. I couldda slept for hours more. *yawn* I did manage to finish my school despite the sleepy feeling that caused Algabra to take an hour and a half. I hate Algebra. I am so craving a cup of strong coffee right now. About like this morning's...That was delish.

sorta bored...Just cos. lol. I am over here at the desk chompin' my gum and freezing and being sleepy and that's about all that's goin' on. :) Mum and Pop are gonna be out for the evening....I am babysitting my little siblings who are all in the living room cheering my two littlest siblings on while they play the x-box. I can think of about all of them who should be finishing the day's school right now... :) Maybe We'll play Kinect later. Have any of you tried that? It is so fun! :D

Happy...I had a pretty Epic weekend. I went to a friends birthday party, hung out with a friend that lives all the way over in Cali and came to visit, Went bowling, Went out for ice cream with friends, laughed, screamed, and all those fun things. xD Yeap.

Antsy....I wanna go somewhere new....I wanna go somewhere with long white sandy beaches and palm trees. Somewhere where the ocean is. I have never seen the ocean in real life. I love it though. I want to be there. *sigh* Where there are amazing kids of colorful fish and reefs and crabs and seagulls and pelicans and ships and yachts and islands and coconuts. I have always wanted to be there. Maybe someday I will. :) I keep telling myself with absolute certainty that someday I will. ^_^

Successful...I MEMORIZED THAT SONG!! xD That concerto that I am playing for Federation in 2 weeks! *grins* I finally memorized it. I am not as good at it as I would like currently but I am practicing like crazy and I'm sure I'll get close. :) I am nervous though. I am a pretty shy person and playing in front of a judge always gives me butterflies. or worse. Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna die. lol. I know people who have no problem performing in front of other people...That's not me. 0_0
Yeah. I kinda feel all of that right now. I also feel like I need to go put rice in the oven for dinner and like I need to get some kids busy cleaning up in here. ^_^
Luvluv!!

Time....

 The other night I was curled up in my bed with the lamp on and my journal in my lap with really not much to write about. I love to write in my journal so I really wanted to but my mind was blank!! So I thought I'd just start writing and see where I ended up. :) I think it turned out pretty well! So I'm going to post what I wrote for all y'all to read if you want. ^_^

"March 2nd, 2011
Here we are in the 2nd day of March. I've wanted it to be my birthday since March 8th of last year!! :D I am VERY excited about turning 16, but you really get a handle on how time relly does never come back when you think, 'I only have 6 days left to be 15 and I'll never be 15 again.' Wow. Dad preached on 'Budgeting' your time tonight. We should find profitable spiritually edifying things to do with our time. We don't want to look back when we are older and think 'I really wish I had done more of 'blah' or less of 'blah' or had spent more time loving my family and serving the Lord jut then instead of being in such a hurry to grow up.' I know I don't want to feel that way about my life! My prayer for this coming 16th year of my life is that God will help me focus more on right now and how I can serve Him and others."

And that is where I ended up. :) I'm not a super good writer and It's not super deep, but I hope you enjoyed it anyways. :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LOLOL!!! I LOVE my life!! I was sitting here writing all that and heard SOMETHING buzzing! I was sure it was a radio that someone had left on and it was REALLY getting on my nerves so I got up to look around for it. Turns out it was the Pump Alarm on the outside of the house. Dad says: "Dan, go reset it" mom: "shouldn't you figure out what the problem is?" Dean: " I don't know how!" Dad: "you push the little button on it!" Mom: "shouldn't you figure out what the problem is?!" Dad: "*silent*.......Yeah. I guess I probably should..." HAHAHA!!!! That cracked me up. :D AND there is a little peek into the Crazy and Insanely random life of RinskiiJoy!! :D Have a great weekend all!!!
