Wrap Up April\Hello, May!



Greetings, all!


My apologies for this post being so late! The last couple of month-wrap-up posts were actually on time, but not April’s. Darn it. :-Z I don’t have a ton to share about this past month, so this post should be pretty short. :-)

April’s Songs:

Heathens by Twenty-One Pilots
I’ve been enjoying Twenty-One Pilots’ music of late. Heathens is probably my favorite by them.

Pyrates Beware by Brian Tyler
This my favorite Assassin’s Creed song right now. I love the pirate aspect of it mixed with the signature strings of the Assassin’s themes.

It’s Not Over Yet by For King and Country
This song is really inspiring. I enjoy For King and Country’s music. 

April’s Movies:

The Iron Giant

Mom’s Night Out

Sherlock: A Study in Pink

Sherlock:

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Hugo

The Dark is Rising: The Seeker


April’s Books:

The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

The Young Unicorns by Madeline L’Engle


April’s Events

Packing Up Our House to Move: We are moving, or at least trying to. Most of this month was spent doing yard work, housework, and packing to prepare for putting our house on the market. That is the reason for my absence from blogging and writing (sorry ‘bout that; it was kind of an unexpected hiatus). Now that our house is on the market, I have a little more time for computer work. :-D We could use a lot of prayer, however; for our house to sell, as we just found a ton of mold in the attic from a leak in the roof and we don’t really have the money to fix it. Prayers would be muchly appreciated. :-)

My B-Day and Party: My 16th b-day was on April 25th, and it was an awesome day. We had pizza and lemonade and watched movies (SHERLOCK <333) and I got two LEGO minifigures from my little siblings as gifts. <3 Since I was turning 16, I got to have a birthday party and have a bunch of my girlfriends over. It was Scottish themed, and we had archery, caber toss, tug-of-war, Scottish dancing, and ate haggis (which is actually pretty good). It was so much fun.

Annual Garage Sale: Every year we have a huge garage sale with a bunch of families from our church. It’s always a ton of fun. We get to spend the whole day with friends, hold up signs on the corners of the street, and this year we all walked down to a store and bought ice-cream (and mine may or may not have fallen off the cone…10 second rule XP). 

April’s Writing:

N\A for good reason. I was packing, fixing up our house, doing track, and trying to finish school. :-P

Well, that was my super busy but somehow pretty uneventful month. How was your past month? Read any good books? Are you excited for Summer? Did anyone else do a garage sale this Spring?

Namarie!

My Camp Nano Project: Of Seas, Silver, and Shipmates.

Greetings, all!  Since Camp Nano is almost over...HOW IS IT ALREADY ALMOST THE END OF JULY???...ahem, I decided to share a little of what I've been working on this month.  Introducing,  Synopsis Eden Claire is an orphaned serving girl in England. Living her lonely life working in the library of a boarding school, she begins to think that she must always settle for less, and that her dreams of comradeship, adventure, and sailing to unknown lands must slowly dwindle away to nothing. However, when an old forgotten acquaintance shows up on her doorstep with a note left to Eden by her father, those dreams might just become rekindled; dreams that will take Eden to wild escapades on the high seas. Eden must outwit the notorious Damian the Black Hearted and his gang of pirates in her quest for her father’s treasure, but she cannot do it alone-she will need the help of others. Can she learn how important true friendship is, even at the cost of losing the treasure…and
