A Few Of My Favorites

...Emmy Dresses!!!!

I thought Claire Danes looked SPECTACULAR!!

I loved the dress... the hair... everything about this dress was beautiful! I loved how the top didn't go as far down as most other dresses, too :)

I think this is my second favorite. It is amazing!!

I really hated this one... January Jones. Haha! January. I wonder if she was born in January...

Why in the world was Kate Gosselin at the Emmys?? Wearing this kind of disgusting dress?

I loved loved loved loved loved Lea Michele's dress!! If this was in white, I would want it for my wedding dress.

So. My mother agreed to go into Walgreens after we went out on my cousins boat to buy water balloons. Not just a few. 500. 500 WATER BALLOONS!! So, the house we were staying at was right on the canal. AND some people would drive by on their boats at night... As well as the occasional couples on the little canoe things. We were all on the very tippy top of the roof eating dinner and my Uncle decided to start throwing these things. Let me tell you... we got several people mad at us. Several, according to the police, of course.

He started throwing them at the boats, kayakers, paddle boarders, annnnnd... the occasional neighbor with her boyfriend ;) The people across the street starting yelling: "KNOCK IT OFF! YOU ARE LITTERING." (my cousin's girlfriend, Devan actually read the back and it said that it was biodegradable)

So anyways after a night full of "fun" we got a visit from the police asking us to STOP throwing water balloons. Soooo... we stopped. But it was definitely a night to remember.

Do Hard Things

Today, I finished the book Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris. Two 19-year-old twins that want to change this generation's teens. In my opinion, I looooooooooved the book. It was really great. I would recommend it to any teen out there--Christians, or not. After reading this book, I was trying to think of ways to be (in their words) a Rebelutionist. I guess I will have to just wait and see...

Take a peek at their blog.

I hope that you will read this book!!

{I am going to the conference on September 11th at SBC if anyone would like to join me?}

Winnie the Pooh quotes

I found these quotes and thought they were worth posting...

"If you live to be 100, I hope to live 100 minus 1 day so I never have to live without you."

"If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear."

" 'I don't see much sense in that.' said Rabbit. 'No,' said Pooh humbly, 'there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way.' "

"People who don't think probably don't have brains; rather, they have grey fluff that's blown into their heads by mistake."

"Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?"

"Eeyore was saying to himself, 'This writing business. Pencils and what-not. Over-rated, if you ask me. Nothing in it.' "

"It's so much more friendly with two."

"Owl hasn't exactly got brain, but he knows things."

"They're funny things, accidents. You never have them until you're having them."

"To the uneducated, an A is just three sticks."
