Get Well Soon Catie!

I just wanted to take a moment to ask you guys to pray for my best friend Catie! She recently fell into a glass table and has ten stitches in her back. Even though we only have two days in school this week she still can't come. Right now she has to stay still and lay in her bed and it's hard for her to do some simple things. Hopefully I'm going to get to see her Tuesday (tomorrow) and hang out with her and see how she's doing.

I love you so much Catie and I can't wait to see you!

Catie's Blog

Consider it a Lesson Learned

This morning I woke up to my alarm on my phone (quite annoying might I add). I reach over to hit snooze and what do I do? Stab myself. In the eye. With my fingernail. Do you know how painful that is? Incredibly painful. Now my eye is all red and watery. :( And I couldn't even put mascara on this morning because it's too watery. (Catie knows how disappointing that is. Right Catie?;)) Then you know I do the natural thing... lay in my bed for 10 minutes, putting pressure on my eye (That is normal, right?). I couldn't open my eye for close to 15 minutes but I couldn't seem to keep it closed either. It was probably one of the most painful things I have ever done. Then you know I actually have to try to move on with my life so I have to get up go to the bathroom (I was about to wet my pants) then do my hair. I walk in and the light was BLINDING! So I go to the bathroom and start on my hair. So naturally my hair looks terrible today. (It was braided last night after I took my shower so all I would have to do was blow dry it some the take it out).

So my lesson is learned... Be careful when you wake up... And don't ever stab yourself in the eye. especially in the morning when you actually have to get ready.

Well... That was my rant for the day. Haha. :)

Wish You Were Here

One of my favorite music groups is "Everly". I love their music and their voices. Their voices are very unique unlike some of today's singers who all have the same sounding voice. They are a lot deeper than others I've heard. The way they sound together is just beautiful. Recently I found out that Bethany Joy Lenz (1/2 of "Everly") Has her own blog. It's called "Wish You Were Here". In her last post she said she wasn't going to be posting until December 1st. Not gonna lie... I'm a little disappointed. I always look forward to reading her post. But is this means that's she's going to be posting more often then I think I'm OK with that. :)

That's all for now :)

"October Baby"

I wanted to start with how AMAZING this movie is. I saw October Baby when it came out (I think). This movie is a very meaningful movie. It's one of those "feel good" movies, but it still leaves you sad... it makes you think. Here's the synopsis from IMDb:

"As the curtain rises, Hannah hesitantly steps onto the stage for her theatrical debut in college. Yet before she can utter her first lines, Hannah-unscripted-collapses in front of the stunned audience. After countless medical tests, all signs point to one underlying factor: Hannah's difficult birth. This revelation is nothing compared to what she then learns from her parents: she was actually adopted ... after a failed abortion attempt. Bewildered, angered, and confused, Hannah turns for support to Jason, her oldest friend. Encouraged by his adventurous spirit, Hannah joins his group of friends on a Spring Break road trip, embarking on a journey to discover her hidden past ... and find hope for her unknown future. In the midst of her incredible journey, Hannah learns that every life is beautiful."

This is a very moving movie. It shows how important life is. How meaningful life is. Hannah is a 19 year old collage freshman who has a lot of medical issues. Later, come to find out, she's a survivor of a failed abortion. She decides to go on a trip with some friends to sort of clear her head and find her birth mother. Along the way she learns that every life is created by God. Every life is loved. "Every life is beautiful".

The music in this movie is incredible. For the touching moments, there's a perfect song to go with it. For more upbeat moments, there's a perfect song for that too. One of the songs is very unique. It's called "Ocean Floor" it's by a woman named Gianna Jessen. Gianna is a big part of this movie. The movie is based on her. Gianna Jessen is an abortion survivor. Below is "Ocean Floor" an amazing song:

Sorry!

So I'm probably THE worst blogger ever. Haha. I can't promise that I'm gonna be blogging more often but I'm gonna try to. :)
