monday magic | volume 3

Hey there! Monday Magic round three comin' atchya!

If you're new here, HI! This is Monday Magic, where I share my favorite links as well as what I've been up to in the past week. You can find old MMs here!

What. A. Week.

I know I say that always, but holy moly, every week brings so much crazy joy and excitement that is completely amazing and makes me so glad I keep a record of these little things. In 2014 I wrote down anything that made me happy (like a date with my sister to a movie or a concert) and it makes me so nostalgic whenever I read through the little slips of paper!

Anyway, I wax eloquent.

-Can we talk about how much I love this photo? Mmkay.

ALSO:

-I FINISHED SCHOOL.

-WHOA.

-High school graduate, what??

-In case you wanted to know, I got McDonald's right after I graduated. Enjoyed all of those chicken nuggets ;)

-My mom got free tickets to a rained out baseball game, so we ate our hotdogs and waited for an hour in our rain coats just waiting, but we finally went home and Angie and I watched Wonder Woman.

-On another note, Wonder Woman is an incredible film. Am I going to learn music from it? It's possible ;) But seriously, did anyone else catch the Captain America vibes? Captain Steve & Steve, both played by Chrises. And let's not even go into the similarities of how both die (cough sacrificially in a plane cough cough) and then there's the one scene in the bar, just like in Cap, and yada yada.... But it was so well done! Loved the fight sequences. I loved hearing Chris Pine talking about the similarities between his movie and Cap: it was such a cute musical number!

-My cousin and I spent Thursday morning nosing around in antique shops and eating donuts at a tiny old-fashioned bakery and it was just one of those good, gossipy catchup sessions that you need every once in a while.

That was my week! Now, links comin' atchya...

-Listening: I'm not the hugest fan of Barbra Streisand, but she did a duet with Chris Pine of a mashup of "I'll Be Seeing You/I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face" and it's. so. good. You can listen to it here.

-Also up on my listening feed this week is "Your Crowning Glory" by Julie Andrews from Princess Bride 2. If you haven't heard of it before, it's a song about prizing your heart, having high expectations and talking about how a real guy will cherish and guard your heart, ah so good! I've listened to this countless times in the past few days, it's my favorite this week! Before I say anything else, you can view it here!

-Watching: The Dungeons & Dragons Series by Studio C. Angie talked me into making a full playlist of all my favorite Studio C sketches and I ended up rewatching these three, and the geeky voices and dragon speak is my favorite!!! You can view the first one here, part two here, and part three here.

-Rewatching: the cutest scene from Wonder Woman where Diana uses a revolving door with her shield and sword and Etta says the line "please put your sword down, it doesn't go with your outfit at all!!!" You can view it here!

-Reading: I've talked a little about She Reads Truth and how much I love their Bible plans, but I've been reading the James plan and it's phenomenal, would highly recommend!

-Memorizing: Philippians 1:6. Such an amazing verse on remembering the power of Christ!

See ya in two weeks! (Vacay is coming up! :D )
