update

Sorry for my week long absence. I even told you in my last post I would post every other day. Please stick with me here! :)

I will have lots of pictures to show you when I get back from Duluth on Sunday! I'm leaving in just an hour or so, so I better get packing!

Thank you all for your sweet comments on my last post. It made me smile. :)

Have a happy weekend! :)

P.S. Like my new design?

bummed out.

Guess what? My computer at home isn't working..that means no computer for me {unless we go to the library computer every day..which I can't do}. I will try to post as soon as we get a new computer..but for right now I'm going to leave you with this. A very sad note from the blogger. :[

While I was gone I had a giveaway..as you all know..so I told you that the last day to enter is tomorrow..I'm going to expand that until I get a new computer at home. Please go check it out and make sure you enter! The 50 Follower Giveaway.

Thank you all for your understanding! :]

I will leave you with a picture of pink balloons..because I like this picture and it makes me happy. :]

magazine collages & cupcakes

Isn't it fun when you get to go over to a friend's house for the afternoon, and be crazy and make magazine collages, and make absolutely insane cupcakes? I think it is soo much fun, and well..I have some pictures to show you. First we made some magazine collages. We cranked the radio, got some scissors, and started to snip away.

I think that yellow dress is absolutely adorable! Both of my friends think it's ugly, and would never wear it. I wouldn't even hesitate to put it on!

Oh, I'm the life of the party? Thank you! :] Then we decided to get the cupcake ingredients out and have a little adventure. It started with the cupcake mix [chocolate of course], all the other ingredients, and the toppings. Toppings included: chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, reeces peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, M & Ms, frosting, frosting, and frosting. It turned out amazingly good. Of course..ya know..I probably will be sick to my stomach tonight..but oh well? It's all worth it right? ;]

Yes, in case you didn't notice I did make some of mine smiley faces. And..some of them are messed up. We didn't try to make them fancy ya know. ;]

It was a fun day! Oh, by the way, my friend Abby, that I hung out with today, has a new blog! She would love it if you went to check it out! I helped her with her design, and some of her header pictures are mine. ;] Go here to check it out!

Guess what? Today is my 1 year blogoversery! I can't believe I've been blogging for a year now. It just amazes me. ;] To check out my first post [which was very bad..]Go HERE!

If you're a blogger, how long have you been blogging?

Six Random Ramblings

1.]I have 59 followers now, and I'm pretty excited. To celebrate having 50 followers and to celebrate my one year of blogging [I started blogging August 3rd, 2010] I'm having a giveaway! Stay tuned, because we have 3 or 4 awesome prizes! I would be open to having even more sponsors-so email me at alilovesvb97[at]gmail[dot]com if you would like to sponsor too!

2.]I have now got a photo challenge blog button that works-thanks to Miss Emily K.! I'm pretty pumped about that too because I'm used to having people add my link also..not anymore! ;]

3.]This weekend was jam-packed for me! On Friday night I babysat my brothers, on Saturday we drove up to my cousin's baseball game [which took us 45 minutes], and we got there and it was canceled because of storms! Then we went to my grandma's 60th surprise birthday party, and stayed there all day and overnight! Today has been like the only free day I've had for a while..so I'm enjoying it by helping out my dad in the yard, coloring [hee hee ;], posting, reading, and swimming!
4.]Okay-this series is a.m.a.z.i.n.g. I'm not really much of a reader, but if you read those books..you will become one. Guaranteed. 

5.]I am loving these flower pictures. The color, the angles, the lighting, the everything. I was so excited to post these! Let me know what you think of them!
6.]This post is going no where now..so I'm going to leave you at that..and be back here tomorrow for a regular post!
P.S. Fruit Punch Gatorade on a warm summer day while working outside and swimming=amazingness. Just sayin'.

i love..

I love the color of my room. As we paint my room, I love it more and more. The pretty oceany blue feeling it has, has now sucked me into wanting my room to be completely done, more and more.

I love the friends God has given me. I am so blessed to have a wonderful cousin my age, and another bestie that I can hang out with a lot. They're such Godly girls, and I love them so much.

I love my blog. Lately I have been loving my new layout, and my header, and especially the color theme of my blog. I love the colors pink and blue. They go together perfectly.

I love volleyball. The feeling of being back on the court, and going for the ball again feels amazing. The feeling of doing well, and being able to serve again, without my back hurting feels awesome. The feeling of celebrating the awesome moments we all had while playing is beyond words. 

I love the free afternoons where we can just hang out around home, and blog. Lately I have been so excited to blog. I haven't had very many free afternoons because of volleyball, camp, and birthday parties it feels good to be able to just hang around at home and do whatever!

I love all my followers. Even though there's only 45 of you, I thank you for following this blog of mine, because I wouldn't have this blog if it wasn't for you guys! 

I love being able to find my phone again. Okay, that's a weird one, but really..I couldn't find my phone for like ever..and I like finally found it under my pillows and blankets in my bed. [Wow, I feel really stupid saying that..oh well. ;)]

So my dears, what have you been loving lately?

Could it be?

Could it be that this little blog of mine is going downhill? I used to be getting lots of followers at once..and now I've had 40 for a while. I used to get a lot more comments too! :( I feel very disappointed in myself because I haven't been posting a lot lately.

If I could just ask..if you are reading my blog, do you like it? Is there anything I could change, or post more about? I need feedback peoples! :)

Also..since I am loosing lots of stats, I ask that I could maybe guest post on your blog. If you're going to be out of town at all this summer and you need some guest posters I would be so interested! I would love to do interviews too! Please tell you're friends about my blog, I really want some more followers and comments!

I mean really? Who likes to be blogging, but not know if anyone is really reading?

20 followers!

Do you guys remember when I posted this post begging for more followers. I only had 3 at the time. Now, I have 21! Thank you so much for all you guys out there who are taking time to read this blog of mine. You've really encouraged me to keep blogging! I love to blog, and you guys make it much more fun! So thank you so much!

I have been adding some of the pictures I took in Duluth in like September on my posts occasionally. I know I did promise I would put pictures up a long time ago..but you'll see them off and on. ;)

The reason why I've been posting today..I don't have school! Today is a teacher's workshop day, so the students get the day off! Yippee!

Much love,
Ali ♥

Just wondering how you heard about my blog! on the right sidebar there are some options to chose from. please choose one {or more}! All votes need to be in by next Tuesday at 3:00 pm. 


Journaling? Yes, I think you should journal. My friend told me to journal. For the last 3 days I've been journaling on my days, and just putting out thoughts and prayers, and maybe some confessions. I encourage you to! It helps your relationship with God grow a ton!

Just thought I'd post a picture! Photo credit goes to Haven. :)

It's February, and I am really excited. Febraury is a love month. I don't know..I just love it! Superbowl this Sunday? Who are you rooting for? I am rooting for the Steelers..sorry, but there is no way I can get past rooting for the Packers in my family! :)

In Your Room

Welcome to the first ever LML4J Challenge!! 


I have always thought of doing a little challenge on my blog, but never really got around to thinking of something..but I guess I'll just start out with a "small one"...


    "Your Room Challenge"


For this challenge you have to go "above and beyond" and find the excellence in your room! I will give you a list of things you have to find in your room. For this challenge you will need to take a picture and post it on either your blog, or you can just email the link to me. You can email me here at alilovesvb97@gmail.com. 


All you need to do to participate in this challenge is to find the following things in your room, and take a picture of it. For instance if I said something with the colors "Lime green, and Purple" in it together-you would take a picture of it and label underneath what it is. 


Here is the list for this week's Your Room Challenge

• nail polish- any color
• a blue comfy device
• a pink pen/pencil/marker/crayon...etc.
• a picture of your handwriting-NEEDS TO BE FOUND IN YOUR ROOM!!
• a sport's team jersey/ t-shirt -doesn't have to be well known
• {one} crazy hair device
• orange "something"
• your favorite magazine
• Where do you read?
• Your music player

The rules are:

• Anyone can play
• All participants have to have published or sent me their posts by Wednesday, November 24.
• If you do put the answers on your own blog, you need to put my ULR, on your post- livinmylife4jesus.blogspot.com
• All pictures have to be appropriate- I don't know why they wouldn't be..but just in case.
• Please, please do this challenge! I would love to see what you can come up with!

If this challenge goes no where, then I will probably just "trash it" because I don't want to keep doing this if no one's going to do it. Just a heads up!

I will be doing this also..within the next week or so! Just want to see what you guys com up with!

P.S. If you happen to send me your post, I will be glad to put it on my blog, if you want me to! 

There will be no winners. This is just for fun! 

Oh, one more thing, if you put it up on your blog, then please let me know, so I can see it! Thanks!
