blog awards galore

So basically everyone loves me! Kidding, kidding. So I have been awarded for 2 different blog awards the last couple of weeks by 4 different girls! Thanks, all!

I was awarded the "I Love Your Blog" by both Kellee and Carolyn. Thanks again, gals!

The rules are:

1. Thank the person who nominated you
I've already done both!

2. Tell us why the idea of blogging popped up and why you still write on it.
Well, I joined Picasa a couple of years ago, and then everyone started leaving and were starting up blogs. Then, without my mentioning blogs, my dad suggested that I write a blog about my life in Europe since not many people in the USA know what it's like. I took off from there!
I still write on this blog because it's a creative outlet for me. I love to show off what I've done to people who have the same interests that I do.

3. Describe a usual day of your life.
Right now during the summer I...
9:00 am: I wake up and read until 9:30
9:30 am: I get out of my bed and eat breakfast
10:00 am: I get dressed and ready for the day
10:20 am: I read until lunch time
12:00 am: I eat lunch
12:30 am: I continue reading OR I go to my grandparents' next door and borrow the computer
3:00 pm: I read or watch some television
5:30 pm: I eat dinner
6:30 pm: I help tidy the kitchen after dinner
7:00 pm: I watch a movie with my family or read some more
9:00 pm: I shower and get ready for bed
9:30 pm: I read or watch television
11:00 pm: I turn out the lights and go to sleep.

4. The best collaboration with a blogger?
N/A

5. The worst collaboration with a blogger?
N/A
6. Explain what this blog means to you.
This blog means quite a lot to me. It is my creative outlet, my friends, just so many things that I have learned over the last year and a half have been through this blog. I can't imagine what my life would be like if I quit blogging.

7. Nominate five bloggers for this award.

For this blog, I nominate:

1. Vivy from Viviness and AG
2. Emma from My American Girl
3. Anna from Anna's Life in the Country
4. Willow from In the Words of Willow
5. Phoebe from Love That Doll

Congrats, girls! I love your blogs!


As for the other blog award, Lissie and Storyteller nominated me for the "Your Blog is Great!" award! I have already participated in this award before, so I'm not going to again. Thanks so much though, girls!

Have a great week!

Love, Lena

jamie grace concert, part 2

Hola, amigas (and amigos...)! Here's the post I promised you all on the Jamie Grace concert I attended last night at our church!

So, at 4:53 pm we went into our church and there was this loooong line going into the sancutary because we had to wait until 5:00 to actually be seated. Right outside the church's coffee shop/bookstore there was a table with a bunch of Jamie Grace stuff on it. We finally were seated and were bored waiting until the concert started at 6:00, so my mom said that my sisters and I could go out in the lobby and see what stuff there was for sale. There was a separate, short little line basically going nowhere, so after I bought my JG CD, I asked the sales lady what the line was for. She said, "Sweetie, that's the line to meet Jamie and have her sign your CD you just bought!" Adri and I started squeeling, but Bella had no idea what was going on. We got in the line, and Jamie signed our CD and took a picture with us!

So, this is while she is signing the CD... (By the way, I have no idea who that random dude is in the background, but I thought I should protect his privacy, too.) I'm the tall one with the curly brown hair, then there's Adri in the braids and Bella with the little pigtails.

Then Jamie agreed to take a picture with the three of us!

And this is the CD cover she signed for us! Sorry, I had to black out our names except for the cover names we use online.

Yay! So about the concert: She said a lot of inspirational stuff, she sang Veggie Tales songs such as "Oh where is my hairbrush?" "The Cheeseburger Song" and some others that I can't remember. Also while she sang "God Girl", instead of saying "I'm just waiting for the right boy 'cause I only want to listen......." She said "I'm just waiting for the right Tim Tebow 'cause I only want to listen......". It was hilarious! Overall, an amazing experience that I will never forget.

Love, Lena

Hello my little peepies! Okay, I know that's was a lame beginning. :P so anyway, I just got back from the most epic concert ever! Yeah, I know, the only concert I've ever been to. Now before I get off on a tangent, I will post pics and vids tomorrow when I have access to a computer! Also, could you guys please look at my friend Anna's blog? She's a real life friend of mine with an up-and-coming blog, so check it out, leave a comment, and follow! Love, Lena

more updates...

So, basically, this is a post about all I know about our move so far:

1. We are moving to the east coast of Florida
2. We will be homeschooling
3. We don't have an exact move-in date yet

Yeah, I know it isn't much, but it's all I have. I hope you are now better informed.

Furthermore, I actually have pictures to post! Yay! They are from the first day of summer break... yeah, I'm lazy, but I'm also in the process of moving!

Sorry the photos are all out of order. Blogger just wasn't working with me. :/

Happy summer!

Love, Lena
