*note: this was an actual honors english II assignment.. and i actually enjoyed it. HA!
Some people would call me a dreamer. I still believe in love at first sight, that laughing on a park bench doesn't only occur in Taylor Swift songs, and "happily-ever-after" isn't just at the end of fairy tales. Hence why I'm labeled, "dreamer".
But I'm not a typical dreamer that has every detail put in its perfect place. My dreams are only bits and pieces, random inklings scattered across my life. Some of my dreams are written in notebooks, others on my bedroom wall, and even more are hidden in my heart. Like I said, I don't have the specifics planned out, which isn't helping, seeing as this assignment is supposed to be predominantly descriptions...
Anyway, fast forward five years from now.
I'll most likely be sleep-deprived and extremely grumpy, seeing as I just pulled an all-nighter to ensure and A on my midterm. My hair will be swooped into a concoction of hair, ponytail holders, and bobby pins and I'll be sporting sweats and my favorite pair of converse. Though I've brushed my teeth ten times over, Colgate refuses to cover the smell of my coffee breath. I sigh and hurl my messenger bag over my shoulder, pushing my appearance aside. All that matters right now is this test.
Not a very pretty picture, I know. But I'm determined to make something of myself, even if I'm not sure what that something is yet.
Travel five more years down the road...
I'll be happily married to a guy with dazzling eyes that loves God with all his heart. We'll live in a white two story with navy blue shudders that we built ourselves. He'll play catch with our son in the front yard even thought the glove will barely stay on his tiny hand. Our little girls will sing "Jesus loves me" on the way home from church, and he'll smile and squeeze my hand, content with the life we've made for ourselves. When we both can't sleep, we'll make hot chocolate and read the Psalms aloud. Our love will grow stronger as our love for Christ grows stronger.
Call me overly optimistic. Tell me I need a reality check. But I believe God has an amazing story written just for me -- the girl named Anna -- the dreamer.

Anna, this is sooo awesome! you are such a talented writer :) love that song by sanctus real too, btw...
Oh, just so you know, i think that to change your post/sidebar title font, go to your dashboard, click on design, and then click on template designer. Once you get there, click on the thing on the side that says Advanced which is under templates, layout, background, etc. You should be able to find how to change your font from there, but if not let me know...Hope this helps!
Btw, praying for ya, Emii! You'll do great :)
lovelikelovelove! (You'd better have gotten an A on this!)
I'm with you on being a dreamer! But we're not just optimistic.... we're children of a Heavenly Father who has a better plan for us than we could ever dream of!
Love you, girl!
:))))))))

Awwww. :) It might seem overly optimistic, but it's a good dream. One of which I hope will come true for you my dear.
Love,
