30 day challenge comes to an end

Wow. I've posted everyday for the past 30 days. 

(well actually I missed two days. But I was sick! and I did do them the next day)

I hope you guys learned a little bit about me through this challenge:)

I've learned some things about myself actually! 

But now I'm going back to regular blogging. No more challenges.

There were days that I wanted to write something, but I couldn't

publish it! (don't worry. I saved them as drafts to publish later:D)

Aunie, I don't know how you've done a challenge for a whole year (well a whole year as of tomorrow).

My last challenge?

Day 30

a photo of yourself today and 3 good things that have

happened to you in the last 30 days.

So I dyed my hair, but it doesn't really show in this picture...

It's like a darrrk brown with reddish/brown highlights...But I might have to re-do it 

because it didn't come out the way I liked it :(

I'm glad I dyed it though because now my hair is all soft and silky again!

I don't understand when people say "I can't color my hair. It ruins my hair"

because it does the opposite for me. 

Oh well. So 3 good things.

1. I was offered a spot to sing on TV this Saturday:)

It's going to be on Public Access TV (our local station)

and I'm really excited about it!

I'll be singing two songs.

2. I got to see my friends whom I haven't seen in forever. Like 

seriously. Because I go to public school now I don't get the chance to see them that much :(

3. My "dad/uncle" (lol) came to speak at our church and

he stayed at my house. It was great to learn from him!

So I mean, no I didn't get a car or anything like that. 

But what I got was better:)

I got the love of my friends and family, I was able to learn, and I dyed my hair;)

So far, I love October. I do.

love hope joy peace
fun laughter life awesomeness 

I could never get tired

Day 29

Something you could never get tired of doing

That's easy.

I realize most of those are not the best pix,

but they represent me.

I could never get tired of performing. 

Of singing, of teaching, of speaking of being in front

of tons of people.

Having the spotlight on me for a second as people

listen to what I have to say.

Plus this allows me to help & inspire others.

What more could I ask for?

The Wedding Date

Day 28

Favorite Movie. Ever.

This is a hard subject for me, so I decided to ask for

a little extra help from my twitter/blogger buddy Cait:)

_______

Hey everyone! My name is Cait and I blog over at Fierce Fabulous and Fit :) My blog is mainly about being a newlywed (3 months now), my fitness routines, my family and friends and of course just the crazy things that happen in my life!

I couldn't wait to help out Lily who asked me to write about my favorite movie to share with you all. Clearly it was a no brainer for me!

I've adored The Wedding Date since I saw 7 years ago. I honestly could watch this movie every single day and never get tired of it. Seriously?! YOU BET (and I almost did my senior year of college ha) So here is why I love this movie!

Debra Messing. I just fell in love with her while watching Will and Grace so naturally I couldn't help but love her character in this film. Her personality, OCD quirkiness and reserved comments made me even think of myself! I tend to be a little neat freak at times, like control but thankfully haven't been stood up by an ex.

The Setting. Anything to do with London clearly has my vote! I loved the locations of where they filmed their house, the wedding itself and the bachelorette parties!! When I was able to travel to London last year with my sister I made sure to try and find some of the locations they used in the movie. Weird? I guess so :)

TJ. Is there not a more funnier character in a movie? Honestly her one liners are used in my daily vocabulary. For instance when I have a good night I say "THAT WAS A TOP NIGHT!" Yup. You can judge me. It's cool.

The Plot. Sure its a cheesy romantic comedy but who doesn't love a feel good movie like this? Honestly it always lifted my spirits when watching two adorable people come together in a way that melts my heart. And on that note..

Dermot Mulroney. Need I say more?

So there you have it friends! My favorite movie :) How about you?

 Feel free to stop by my blog too and say Hi !!

Fitness Friday

Click now! Only 1 day and 6 hours left to enter 

______________________________________________________________________

Ahhh... Today's challenge asks: Something you usually crave. 

Today is also Fitness Friday which ties in perfectly with the challenge.

I am always craving junk food.

via

Sometimes it gets pretty bad and I have to remind myself to drink lots of water.

Which reminds me that I've really really really gotten off track.

Not only with water, but with working out and with lots of other daily habits I 

had going on. It gets really really hard to keep it up 

and sometimes I forget what I need to do

and that I need to keep my temple healthy.

So easy to say. So hard to do.........

Happy Friday Friends!

Nos Vemos Mañana :)

See YOU at the pole

This morning, God used me to lead. Completely unexpected. 

Well I kinda want it to happen,

but didn't think it would happen.

I, with the help of the Holy Spirit, 

led about 45 kids to sing to Jesus, pray for the upcoming elections, and pray for our school leaders

and ourselves. Then  I gave a little word of encouragement.

It was awesome!

You can watch us singing and praying this morning: here and here.

Day 16 calls for a picture of me and my family.

Well my parents brought us to school this morning. 

So we all went to See You At The Pole.

(lol this is from Mother's Day, not today!)

Oh and there's still 3 days left to enter our awesome giveaway.

What duck has two legs?

Day 12

A photograph of your town

via

1st photo is of our downtown mall. It's really short, but we have a pavilion on one end

where the Dave Matthews band, Third Day, and Taylor Swift repeatedly perform.

The 2nd photo is a picture of what my town looks like from the top of a mountain.

And behind the town is what we call the Blue Ridge Mountains :)

Don't tell anybody I said this, but I really like my town. I used to hate it. 

But now that I'm older, I appreciate it more. Also there are lots of

great opportunities here and we have really famous people

that live in my area. Donald Trump even has one of his Vineyards

in my area. I really like my town. It's not that boring, you just

have to know hot to make your own fun :)
