The meaning of Christmas. The snowy joy. The belief. The beauty. The warmth. The romance. The christmas season. The love. The coffee. The snowmen. The little children. The sugarplums. The night before. The stockings.
It's christmas 2011.





I've tended to feel lonely this year cause I all I want for christmas is my Lover. I just haven't meet him yet.

Yet I've been delighting in the good news of our savior. And the loveliness of bokeh.

To think we are celebrating the night Jesus Christ cam into the world! To save us!
Oh, the Joy!

 

It's also the end of a year in which God molded me into a women for his name. Oh, Joy to Christ!

Merry Christmas, blogging buddies.

Let Christ shower you with his goodness.

My days have been spent christmas shopping, hot choclate drinking, hair styling, lip gloss testing, photo editing, laughing, laptop blogging, sermon listening, advent pondering, Taylor Swift listening, Christmas music writing, starbucks talks, nailpolish partying, dancing under stars, lying in fields, typing up posts, looking at old photos, buying gifts for my sisters baby arriving in spring, and living life loud.

The family news of the week? We've found a house in the new town we're moving to.
You know thats awesome for us!

this is so sweet.

When I find my man I'm going to have such cute pictures taken.

























Love from,

enchanted

Every girl has a dream. but life makes love look hard.

Some evenings you just want to float away. forget the past. Look at the future. moments when the world is a starry night. Whens the world is a lucky number one. When the world is a surprise present. When the world is a door to new lands. When it's advent. When the world is just the very first page to a story. When he's the only one in the world. When landry day is magic. When hotels turn to castles. When friendships blossom. When the door opens. When you hear a secret. When you dance fearless.

Those moments are enchanted.

A letter never sent

under late-due papers and old pictures I found a letter. One I had written a long time ago.

Dear _______,

Today something happened that has never happened before. You asked me to dance. In those few precious moments I did something I have never done before. I feel in love. In love with you. It was like you were the only real thing in the world and your giant eyes looked at me with such a look I got all fuzzy inside. I felt the hopeless romantic feelings return and my heart begain to dance inside of me.

Tonight as I was walking the dog(I hate her by the way) I could not stop dreaming of you. Your perfect smile. Your gorgeous laugh. I was so in love I could not sleep. SO I wrote you this letter. A lovesick letter from a lovesick girl.

Tomorrow is the next day of school. Even though it won't be a dance party like last night, it will be for me.
Can't wait to see you there.

Your lovesick girl,
Maya M.



(a few of my favorite things)

1. This picture above. The idea is pretty cute. You use cut-outs from old books for a flower girl to drop at your wedding. So much better than flowers....and I think would be a cute idea for my beach wedding!


2. Coverses. I love them. I have a black pair and a teal pair. My sister Emily just got a glorious green pair for her baby girl due in April. Oh, smiles....

3. You know this is going to happen....

4. I'm attempting this for the holiday season! Good luck, myself....

5. Vintage cupcakes...it will happen! (If your reading this, Ana, I'm heading over with the recipe right now).

6. Wedding planning. Mark your calenders for March third when Meg and Jeremy finally get married. I'm the main designer for the event and it's all going to be vintage. I helped meg pick out her wedding dress the other day...it was Lovely.

7. Aww...this is cute!

8. My currnet favorite quote. Me and my guy are going to laugh so hard...
You see I've stepped in love so many times...just wish I'd fall into it. With the right guy. Where are you?

I've been absent from my "normal" posts on this blog for a while now. The truth? I guess I'm just mentally going through a lot. You might remember this post. If you haven't read it, please do. And there is also this.

Yep, that's the truth. I've been busy. But I realize It's crazy that my first post back will be about...guys. Yep, another post on guys. You see as much I hope to stay pure and everything for my husband, I believe God gives us the girft to experiment and learn and grow in our time when we stay just friends with boys. I am so thankful for the friendships the lord has provided me with involving boys!

Yes, I've had a few crushes. change that, I've had several. But you know what? None of these guys have turned out to be the prince charming I want him to be. And I have had my heart secretly broken. I have cried a few times and laughed with my friends later. But now I feel completely and totally free of those guys. You could say this is the first time in a while I have not liked anyone. Praise Jesus! Yet I have to amit my Christmas wish this year? The following words have never been so sweet:







oh, yes.

My first crush was in first grade. I call him the "charmer". Blonde, blue-eyed, silly, cute, christian. He left me dazed everytime we spoke. We exchanged valentines and everything sweet. I still keep in touch w/ him through facebook. He's a photographer now.

The second one came in third grade. I call him the "mystrious one." We never spoke but had fun. What was someone who I barely knew turned into someone I was constantly speaking too. It didn't last long but left a permanenet stain.

The fourth came in 8th grade. I call him the "crazy one." Let's just say we got along fine....

The fifth I met once and I was hooked. I call him the "Enchanter." The feeling was mutual and it was pretty funny... our silly relationship. What was a few spoken words turned into many. We became good friends. Our story is history from there...

Right Now I don't know where I am with all this. But I know thses boys are not longer part of me. And I'm happy.

Shout Out

Just so you guys are aware I've decided to down my computer time. So I'm no londer going to be on facebook or twitter. I've decided my computer time should stay to the two websites I love the most, which are blogger and gmail. Thanks for understanding that I will no longer be appearing on those two sites. I've had some consideration in joing other projects involing blogs and I've made up my mind to put my heart into those.

Perfectly described by Taylor Swift

Sometimes my life is best explained with Taylor Swift lyrics. Taylor's a girl and can explain how our minds work. She writes songs to explain feelings so I don't have to explain them. Dull days pass by and sometimes I feel like this:

Elevator buttons and morning air. Strangers' silence makes me want to take the stairs. If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares. But right now my time is theirs. Seems like there's always someone who disapproves. They'll judge it like they know about me and you. And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do. The jury's out, my choice is you. So don't you worry your pretty little mind. People throw rocks at things that shine. And life makes love look hard. The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours (ours by Taylor Swift).

There is this guy who I love more than any other. He has the most amaizng, deep eyes I've seen.
Sometimes when I daydream about him these are the lyrics that first come to mind:

your here, your eyes are lookin into mine
so baby, make me fly
my heart has never felt this way before
i'm lookin through your
i'm lookin through your eyes.. (Beauitful Eyes by taylor Swift).

Or More like this:

You lift my feet off the ground and
Spin me around
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyesYou make me crazier,
Crazier, crazier (Crazier by ..Taylor).

There is this one guy I met once at a play and I have not stopped thinking about him. I was able to spend a week at camp with him but we only exchanged glances and such. These are the lyrics that best describe me and him:

The lingering question kept me up, 2 a.m., who do you love?
I wonder 'til I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say
It was enchanting to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet youThe last song is how I feel about my favorite baseball cap-wearing guy on earth. The same one with the beauitful eyes :)


I'm not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered
Hold on
Just spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall
Can you take a moment, promise me this
That you'll stand by me forever
But if God forbid fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children some day
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine
