It's Birthday Month

Oh hey hey hey. Guess what this month is. Did you guess it? Have you realized that it is BIRTHDAY MONTH?

This is really of significance to my mother and me. She seems to always care so much about my birthday...

Anyway. I haven't posted in a long time, which is pretty normal considering school and work. And I don't really feel bad, so moving on...

My birthday is at the end of this month, and family and friends keep asking me what I want. The thing is, I'm not a huge presents person. I love heartfelt, meaningful presents more than anything. This isn't to say I don't want nice things or nice presents. I'm just saying, I wouldn't love someone less if the gifts were nonexistent. 

So for anyone wondering, this is my birthday wishlist.

This Great Gatsby sweater is what dreams are made of. XS please. Oh and a rose, of course.

Oh and then there's this perfect specimen of sweatshirt. I love this beautiful sweatshirt. Can I have it, please? XS, of course.

I am definitely the crazy bunny lady. And I need earrings like this to make it obvious.

This is the annotated edition of Peter Pan. I am deeply in love with this book, and everything in it, and everything in this annotated version. It is seriously splendid.

Words can't express how I feel about this book

Everything on here is bunnies, books, or both. Is my weird showing yet?

I have been lusting after this poster for a few years. I love it.

Okay. I can't do this anymore.. 

this is everything I could possibly think of apparently. Unless someone wants to splurge and get me a turntable...

Love, Sarai

Finals Week

This ridiculously classy ring (not really) is all mine! Thanks to the spandex-clad man who proposed to me in the Wilk... sweet. 

I can't seem to get enough of Hemingway right now. I read this one, then I read the Paris Wife, which is about him, and now i'm reading the Sun Also Rises. I'm in love guys.

Also, this is me in a clock dress, probably right after reading. It's my favorite dress, and I hate to waste it on people who aren't worth it. So it's extra-special :)

so anyway. Finals are going on right about now. So basically the last few weeks of my life have been crazy enough for me to feel like never going to school again. I kid you not, it's really that bad right now. I'm just tired, and wanting to sleep all the time. Oh! Fun fact about me--when I get nervous/anxious/stressed, or any combination of those adjectives, I am a wreck, and I can't eat. So basically, that means I realized about halfway through my day that I actually had not eaten a single thing today. Now how's that for super-messed up? awesome...

But also, I would like to point out a few really great things. I have noticed the Lord's hand in my life so often lately. Everything about my life has been stressful, and crazy. But somehow, it all has managed to work out quite nicely. I really think that anyone who is not relying on the Lord is missing out on how wonderful is feels to know that someone is there, watching over me, directing my path, creating new ones for me when old ones get destroyed. For example. Work is a stressful mess sometimes, but somehow I have two great jobs, and I'm excelling quite nicely at both.

Or with school. I was actually pretty worried about my grades, but through the tender mercies of understanding professors, things have been falling into place. Not without a lot of hard work on my end, but still.

And love. I'm not in a place to speak about my love life in depth. But that sweet musician I had a crush on? I think he's altogether bad news. And thankfully, I came to understand that before things got heavy. Now I'm just going on some great dates :)

So anyway, I just hope that we can all take a moment to open our eyes and our hearts and remember that we're not doing it alone :)

Love,  Sarai

So excited for this to come out...
