2nd day of challenge and a song....or two. :)

hey guys!:) so today is the 2nd day in my challenge to post every day....
I will share with you a couple or three songs that I absolutely love! These are new songs persay...they have been around a while....but can we just pause right now and have a moment of silence over Carrie Underwood's voice?!! oh wait, let's here it first!:) (in case you never have)

NOW, can we just have a moment.........

Okay, well I gotta get back to algebra....talk to y'all later!! :)

Love,
Lou<3

a challege and some poetry!:)

I am going to try a challenge....to post every day for a week!!! they may be short, they may be long....but i am really going to try!!! =) so by next Thursday, hopefully I will have posted every single day about something!!!
today I want to share with you guys a free verse that I wrote-

I love...
The smell of rain during or after a rainstorm like a huge candle that freshens the earth.
The claps of thunder that make me jump and then laugh.
The beautiful pictures God paints with the calming sunsets and billowing, huge, white clouds.
And the springtime bliss of feeling the wind and hearing the robins chirp through my windows.
~written by me ♥

We are about to finish up a whole unit on beauty in Literature....and it has officially probably been my favorite unit so far. I have absolutely loved it!! :) here is a poem that we read:
Barter by Sara Teasdale
Life has loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings,
And children's faces looking up
Holding wonder like a cup.

Life has loveliness to sell,
Music like a curve of gold,
Scent of pine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirit's still delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night.

Spend all you have for loveliness,
Buy it and never count the cost;
For one white singing hour of peace
Count many a year of strife well lost,
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been, or could be.

well, gotta run for now!! my day is going really well!!:) Hope your Thursday is beautiful!!!

Love,
Lu<3

fashion. workouts. life.

hey beautiful readers! so sorry I haven't posted yet again in forever. this IS going to change. I promise. :)
so I am going to start right into showing you guys some pretty awesome pictures of things I am loving...
these are taken from tumblr and pinterst. I am OBSESSED with tumblr. its like one of my top things I check every day!:) its awesomeness... so let's get started!;)

in love with long dresses. :) think I am going to maybe even make one soon if I can talk Grandma into helping me!;)

I cannot express my love for these shoes.

I kinda need this shirt.

Hunger Games...don't know much about it, but love Taylor Swift ft. Civil War's song for it and and maybe going to read the books!:)

and yet another obsession...vintage cameras..

wish I had some Toms. they are adorable and all the rage right now!:)

OBSESSED with owls.

and loving the pics of Taylor visiting kids at the Ronald McDonald house:) she is great with kids!





So there are some fun pictures of some fun things!:) hopefully something gave you inspiration or an idea! ;)
Workouts-well I really need some muscle strengthening...not lying...these muscles aren't very strong. haha. but i want to work on it! I have done some working out in my days....but I haven't stayed on a serious schedule for very long since Dad's leg broke. which was 2 years ago. :/
this past year and this year I have done some but I want to do BETTER!
so far this week I have jogged/walked twice for 20 minutes...yesterday that did include me starting off and increasing in speed but today it didn't. we did that before starting the 20 minutes. Esther and I did jogging and then walking and we jogged about 3 times walking in between. :) it was hard, but felt good. it was cold, but hey! ;) we are determined. we will do it again Friday and then if we feel led, on Saturday again!:)

I hope you guy's February is going fab. I want to say also, that I have some awesome friends. right now, some of the closest people in my life are ADULT friends. ;) I love them...I think they know who they are ;) hahahaha.

well, signing off for now....

so behind...

I feel like I should have been posting so many more posts...I am so sorry. :( I want to be a more consistent blogger....hmmmm...
how is life going for you all? its keeping busy for me...with long days of high school and evenings filled with different things...
so excited for this weekend though!:) Travis is back in Kansas and we are having Christmas this weekend. :) also tomorrow night we are having some friends over for games, and I am super excited.
on another note, I have started back up with a workout routine...I will see how long it lasts. right now its 15 minutes Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I started it back up this week! I will probably increase the time some times but for right now I am sticking with 15 minutes...last time I worked out, well my pelvis got all out of alignment! so I took a break...mom and dad said I would probably be ok not to worry about working out until then maybe the summer bringing in some more activity, but I am going to use the George Foremen DVDs and do these little workouts for a while!:)
well, I hope you guys have a fantabulous evening, and I will be posting hopefully, every other day or so or maybe even everyday! :) or at least I will promise to try and post more!!! :D

P.S. simply been loving this song this week:

my day...oh and p.s. its snowing :)

hey readers...so, as I sit here with a freshly brushed mouth, warm footie pjs, a clean body, clean braided hair...its crazy how my day went by so fast! I mean didn't I just wake up to my alarm with a very nauseated stomach not to long ago? (not to worry, it was only because I was EXTREMELY hungry) another school day down, another review day for exams, another day in life...all almost gone. its amazing and crazy at the same time! don't ever take for granted another week or day to live...each day, whether good or bad, treasure it and remember, it was another day Jesus allowed you to live.

on a side note-I am loving GOD GIRL by Hayley DiMarco. :] Its such a great read I totally encourage anyone to read it! also, with Christmas money I bought THE HELP and I am SO excited to dig my eyes into that book! I need to finish two books before that....oh dear. :O :) Here is the trailer for the movie that I CANNOT wait to see....

I hope you all are having a fantabulous week....
"When Christ becomes all you need, you will find happy all around you, because he never disappoints." ~God Girl, Hayley DiMarco
"You can't predict love, or plan for it. Love is the exception. Love is the one wild card."
~Taylor Swift♥

xoxo, Luanna Joy:)
oh and p.s. its snowing :D :D :D ♥

its a crazy Christmas. . .

sitting here at my Grandma and Grandpa Wright's house. . .surrounded by two aunts, an uncle, my family, my cousins, my great-grandma, my step-great-grandpa, and my grandparents. its crazy around here but its who we are! hashing over different things, kids making lots of noise playing, Grandma in the kitchen, yeah, its crazy, but its WHO we are. :)
yes, we are having our Christmas late, but what's better then being able to celebrate Christmas for two months instead of one!?:) after this Christmas, we still have another one later this month!:) i be how we roll!

xoxo,
Luanna Joy

hey guyss!

Hey all!:) its been FOREVER. and that is now going to change. I am back into the "mood" of blogging! wow. I want to blog!:) first things first! ITS 2012! oh my goodness! I have so many goals/resolutions for this year...its kinda crazy! lol. one of them is to read 20 books or more. I am going to count the one I was reading last year and am still getting through...I don't read in it everyday but I am going to count that as one of my 20...I still have more the half of it to read. :) then I started another book tonight that I have been wanting to start and I am so excited to finish it. 

I borrowed it from my best friend Carly who is in the picture there with me beside this post:) anyway, I am super excited to read this book and apply it to my life.

"The truth is that if you are a God Girl it is because of who you worship, not who you are, or what you've done or failed to do." ~God Girl, Hayle Dillarco♥

 

 Isn't that a lovely quote?! :) I know. I love it. 

Another thing I am starting up this year, actually Esther and I started it last year but it is going to grow in this year and that is my inspiration book. its just a simple sketch book from hobby lobby and I decorated the front, and through the year I am going to be adding inspiring quotes, pictures, verses, whatever! I am so excited. :) I definitely encourage you to do that! Esther and I actually did a video of it on our channel www.youtube.com/mjwsjw :) its the DIY-Inspirational Book and Snowglobe video! and ps..I am so happy with my snowglobes:)

sorry its not the best quality! I took it with my phone and tweeted it!:) 

well, its 2:38 Am and I had better get some sleep. but I felt REALLY inspired all of the sudden to fix up my blog theme and write a blog post. :) I am back for a while now. 

hope you guys don't mind!;)

Love, 

Luanna
