Happy Monday...

So I found these while surfing around online and through facebook, and simply couldn't resist posting them. :)


I WANT ONE. (:


This one totally cracked me up considering that me and my older brother would probably do this to our cat one of these days (who is, as I type, eating my foot off)...

If y'all know me personally, you'll probably know I hate soccer with all my life because... I'm not really sure why. I'm not good at it, so that doesn't really help much. lol.
I don't mind watching it, it's just playing it...
But I love this cat's face. Sooooo much. ;)
In other news, it's Monday. Ehhh.
My Monday was long, my Monday was boring.
But my Monday instantly sparked up when a package came at my door that ended up being...
(for those of you who love sound effects, here's where the drum roll would take place...)
My glow-in-the-dark nail polish. :)
Thus making today the best Monday in the world.
Oh. And we had another 2hour delay from school this morning due to potential nasty and dangerous roads from all the snow this past week...
but glow-in-the-dark nail polish?!? :)
Happy Monday. :)
Loves!

White, White, and more WHITE.

6+ inches of pure white beauty right out your backyard (if you haven't noticed this, you've either slept in wayyyy to late or are located in a city other than the beautiful Anacortes). :)
All day yesterday the whole entire MS at my school had the privelage and/or pleasure to spend the day on the beautiful (and cold) Mt. Baker. There was around 9 - 10 feet up there, and it wasn't the kind of snow that's super duper packable and easy to walk in.

Nope. We got stuck with the oh-so-fluffy and super dusty snow that can't be compacted, but can very easily be sledded through without much pain. ;)
Because of this, half of the time playing in the snow was really falling in the snow and attempting the climb up the hills to pile 6-7 people on the biggest tube EVER (which we did infact accomplish after an hour, or so). :)

Luckily enough, we could very well tackle whoever we wanted without serious injuries involved. And it was the only day of the year where you could tackle and/or restle anyone without getting in trouble or causing any type of injury. :)

On the way up there we had to stop several times to put on and put on again chains for the bus's tires. Again, meaning after the first time of putting them on, a student sitting in the back was oh-so-kind to mention "Uhhh, there's a trail of chains behind the bus..." followed by a slam on the breaks and a delay of half an hour or so.
One of the times we stopped to chain up the bus we coincidentally stopped in one of the perfect "calender shoot" spots on the whole mountain (included with a babbling brook)! It was absolutely gorgeous, and although they didn't allow us to leave our seats we managed to open a few windows to get some shots of the marvelous spot.
We were stuck in the same spot for a half hour or so, and we were all starving. Not good. Lucky enough for us, we all started random conversations and ended up taking way more pictures than planned. :)
Aside from yesterday, this morning I woke up to one of the most beautiful sites I'd seen in awhile.
6 inches of perfectly white snow, and more that continues to fall for the last 3 hours or so. :)
As a result, no school for the day. No homework, no nothin.

When I woke up, I immediately thought that God knew our class needed way more time to finish the couple assignments (and probably some other students around this area, right?) we got stuck with the night of the retreat, and apparently He indeed thought a day or more would be quite sufficent to eliminate our procrastination. ;)

We're all hoping the snow keeps falling (which is indeed in the forcast, but knowing our weather forcasters...) and that it freezes enough to get us out of school for the rest of the week, which would be oh-so-lovely for students(and probably parents). :)
After an hour or so of waking up and enjoying just watching the snow that, according to my mom, I brought back down from Mt. Baker, I faced the snowglobe of the backyard to get some good shots of things and to just enjoy one of my favorite sites in the world.
My siblings quickly declined coming with me into the cold, but eagerly reminded me not to step all over the yard so that it would stay nice and smooth and new. Thanks, guys.
One of our family's most favorite views in the world? Fresh, untouched snow.

So there was little ol' me still in my pjs with snowboots, hat, huge coat... the whole shabang. All for some pictures and to enjoy the beauty of God's creation for a few minutes. And it was amazing. I felt like I was in the midst of one of God's most glorious creations, in His midst.
It was the most incredibly things I'd ever witnessed and experienced.
So, if you're like my siblings and have yet to go explore outside or even get off the couch, I would strongly encourage you to take a chance with getting wet and cold and go enjoy the scene God put out for us today. :)
Here's to hoping the snow continues to fall in glorious amounts and that procrastination on well, everything, will end eventually or sometime today, anyways...

Loves!
Remey.

Odd Title...

Hey y'all! So as an intro for this blog, I guess I should probably explain what the title's all about.

Actually, I had absolutely no idea in my right mind what to call this blog. Since I was going to incorporate a whole host of random of whimsy things into it including pictures, videos, favorite songs, lyrics, poems, and interesting things that happen, I really couldn't come up with anything solid that had to do with all that.

In the end, I got the idea "A Glimpse of..." to go with all the glimpse's of me and my life you'll see in this blog.
"A Glimpse of..." hope, love, laughter, randomness, life...etc.

I love to write, so naturally, you'll get tons out of this to read and hopefully enjoy.
I'll be writing about what I love, what I hate, my favorite things, my struggles, my victories, and my triumphs in my walk with God.

Aside from all that, this blog will basically be a huge treasury of randomness or whatever I feel like I want to share with y'all at the time. And if any of you follow the other blog that I'm involved in, some of the posts off that one may or may not end up here... so don't feel too jacked, my mind can only think up so much. :)
I'll most likely won't be blogging every day, but definitely at least once a week, so keep a look out for new, random, crazy, and whimsy things.

So buckle up, and please keep your hands, arms, and legs in the vehicle at all times.

Loves!
Remey.
