Day 11 – Your siblings
But there's so many of them! lol. :D Okay, in order...
Matt - He's 27, graduated from college, which he majored in political science. He currently works at a greenhouse. He's moved out, loves sports, and is the "social butterfly" of the family. Got most of the good looks too. ;)
Krista - She's 25, works full-time in the offices of a factory in town, and is one of my closest friends. She's engaged to be married to a great dude named Tyson. :D She's a bit of an introvert, a homebody, is sweet, and loves to write like moi!
Andrew - He's 22, is in the Air Force, and is currently home on leave. He just became engaged to his girlfriend, Caitlin, and is making plans for their wedding! He used to work at the library, and I loved working alongside with my bro. He's easy-going, very laid back, and I look up to him. :)
Jon - My little brother who is not not-so-little. He towers over me! He's 18, has just started college-life, is going for graphic design, is very creative...he yoyos, juggles, has done origami, plays piano, and is the biggest goof ever. Makes me laugh like CRAZY. Certainly is one of the most talented members of our family!
Tim - He's 16, still in high school, worked at the library for the summer, and is very into being active. He gets out of doors as much as he can, enjoys playing sports, loves to read, yoyos, plays piano, and is very much an extrovert, willing to talk to anyone!
Tori - She's 13, in 8th grade, and is another extrovert. She's great with kids, a bit of a tomboy, loves being outside, loves to read, plays piano, knits, and yoyos as well!
Livi - She's 11, in 6th grade, and is very much a GIRL. She loves dressing up, fancy clothes, having tea parties, baking, reading, playing outside, playing piano, knitting, writing letters, and dancin to music!
Nate - He's 9, in 3rd grade, and is already quite the "ladies' man"...he's charming and KNOWS it! He loves to play outside, isn't too much of a boy to play with the little girls, likes to read, has done some yoyoing, and is very out-going...he will talk to anyone!
Mia - She's 7, in 2nd grade, and is out-going as well. She's also a little bossy thing, has a motherly streak, and loves to read. She loves playing outside, dressing up, fools around on the piano, loves dancin to music, and loves tea parties.
Jules - She's 3, the youngest, and just a wee bit spoiled by all of us. She is just about the most adorable 3-year-old you'll ever meet (nope, I'm not biased!)...she's an answer to one of my prayers. (I prayed for a baby sister, and got her!) She's a talker with a bit of an introvert streak when around strangers. She loves to color, look at her favorite books, visit me at work, make me pretend tea, be my shadow, and rates how much she loves each person...currently she loves me "100" (That's good! Yay!).
And those are my siblings!

Five silly bandz

Day 09 – Your beliefs
This post would be so much better if I took the time to actually put verses with each statement. But I'm running short of time here and I really don't want to skip a day! So if you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me @ knittergirl17@gmail.com with any questions. ;)
Please understand that these are my beliefs...I do not believe a person will go to hell for not believing the same way , I do not judge others who believe differently, nor am I trying to shove/pressure people into believing the same way I do. I have accepted these beliefs as my own ON my own. Yes, my parents raised me with these beliefs, but they are not forced upon me.
I am not here to start any debates...I'm just simply answering a question in this meme! :P So, if anyone tries to start a debate with me, chances are I'll ignore you. :) No offense intended, but that is not the purpose of this post.
There are so many things I believe, that it would take ages just to get into them all...so I'll only state them briefly. Again, if you have questions, just e-mail me. ;) BUT. I hold the right to withhold any answers...I do not want to enter any unfriendly debates.
I'm a Christian...with really no denomination! I keep the Saturday Sabbath and Biblical Feast Days. I do not believe that the Old Testament law was done away with.
And I will just add, that keeping the Sabbath and the Feast Days have been an ENORMOUS blessing to my life and I love celebrating/keeping them!
I am not Jewish nor a Seventh Day Adventist.
I don't believe this is what saves me...I keep the Sabbath and Feast Days because it's what pleases God and I want to please Him! It's a way I can show my love to Him!
I believe I have a free choice to follow God or to turn away from Him. He chooses me but I have to choose Him too.
I do not believe in predestination. God's love is extended to everyone, but I have the free choice to accept or reject His love.
I do not believe in once saved always saved.
I don't celebrate Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day or Halloween, because they were all originally Pagan holidays. I do celebrate Hannukkah, but not as a replacement to Christmas. The story behind Hannukkah is AMAZING. :D

Day 08 – A moment
A moment...boy, which one to choose! This whole post may not be just a moment, but it leads up to the one moment that made my 20th birthday the best one ever.
It was early November...a rather cold and cloudy day, but I was excitedly & ecstatically getting ready for my own birthday party. A birthday party which I was throwing for myself. I had invited all my closest friends, and most of them would be attending. I had planned a Jane Austen themed tea party, complete with dressing up in Regency gowns, and pretending to be Emma Woodhouse! I was working on a batch of scones when my guests started to arrive. First it was my bestest friend Amy. She walked through the door and I immediately stopped to hug her.
"Where's Joy?" I immediately asked, afraid that her sister, another friend, hadn't been able to come.
"Oh, she'll be in a minute."
Relieved I went back to making my scones.
Next thing I knew, I heard someone (My Mom I thought at the time...) calling my name, "Samantha!"
I turned around, expecting Mom to tell me to do something...and there, standing directly in front of me was my best friend HannahBeth. THE friend I had NOT been expecting to come to my party. THE best friend I had never met in person. THE friend I had been praying and praying to meet someday soon.
I was surprised to say the least. And the only thing I could think of to say?
"What are YOU doing here???!"
Then we were hugging...I couldn't believe it! I was hugging my bestest friend! It was one of the best moments ever. :)

Day 07 – Your best friend
My best friend...well, I can't say I have just one best friend. I actually have many! They are:
HannahBeth - God sent me this dear girl as a friend when I most needed a best friend. When I received her first letter I knew right away that we were "kindred spirits" and it was true. She's the Diana to my Anne. She is sweet, loving, so encouraging, loyal, always there for me, and she writes some of the bestest letters ever. :)
Hannah - This gal is amazing. She's sweet, caring, so encouraging, and made of awesome. Even when we disagree on our favorite things, it never stops us from being such great friends. And I love the fact that she's always so willing to listen and never judges!
Amy - The first impression I had of this girl was that she was too sweet to be true! And that impression remains the same. :D My "Ducky" friend, who lets me call her whenever I want, who ALWAYS listens and sympathizes and encourages! She's so understanding and just plain awesome!
Meghan - Megs is like a big sister and best friend rolled into one. I cannot say how much this girl has encouraged me! She always knows exactly what to say when I need to hear it! She is so caring and sweet, always wishing the best for me, and encouraging me to turn to God!
Joe - My BGF (Best Guy Friend)...he makes me laugh like CRAZY. He listens, he can out-talk me when he wants to, he puts up with my craziness, he always knows when I'm down and how to cheer me up. He's the one who reminds me to "loosen" up and makes "hangin' out" fun!
Maddie - This girl gives some of the best hugs EVER. She is sweet, she is bubbly, she is...when I think of her, I think of "happy". She cheers me up, she giggles with me over our favorite tv shows...one thing I love about her? Every time we chat, she always makes a point of telling me how much she loves me. She is just simply lovable!
Livi - My Winnie-the-Pipper girl! She just "gets" me, she lets me rant, she makes me laugh, she has this way of brightening up someone's day by just BEING there...by just BEING herself. She is adorable, she is so much fun, she is, to describe her in one word, Pipper-ish!
Genny - The cutest, lovable gal ever. Her hugs make a person feel better right away, she's always so sympathetic, caring, and sweet! She lets me be as crazy as I want, and she sighs over guys with me! She's my girl's night/clothes shopping buddy...the only thing that keeps shopping from being excruciatingly painful for me!
Ben - A new best friend...he's a great guy, who has a great listening ear, and now knows how to make me laugh! He enjoys writing, pushes me to get MY writing done (a good thing!), is a talker, and can be very random!

Day 05 – Your definition of love
My definition of love?? To quote Marianne Dashwood quoting Shakespeare:
"Is love a fancy, or a feeling?"
Haha, sorry, couldn't resist!
But seriously...what is love? I couldn't describe love any better than God does:
"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends..."
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
How can I add to that?
