Some of you may be wondering why I haven't been on blogger much lately. Well, I don't really have a good excuse. Other than I have been tied up by other things and didn't have the gumption to post. *guilty wince*
My poor blog got pushed further and further down on my mental list of things to tend to. :/
Do not fret. Everything is a'okay! Dad is doing very well right now. His Tysabri infusions have been going well and he's got some energy. He and my Papa have been outside, working on a lean-to for James the unit. ^_^ It's nice to see dad outside, working again. :)
I have kept myself busy doing school, taking care of household chores, and spending time with friends and family. Oh, and yes, I still have my babysitting job. :)
Narthea's courtship is going wonderfully! She and her beau are always smiling at each other and giggling. It's cute. ^_^ She probably wouldn't enjoy me saying that on the Internet, so *shhh*. ;)
I took a walk outside today and snapped some photos that I wanted to share with you. They're pretty random, but hey, it's something to post. :)
{This is the "key to my heart" necklace I bought on Valentine's Day and am keeping for my future husband. Not that he has to wear it... lol}
{The grass is vibrant and green again. As you can see, I'm loving it!}
{I don't know why, but I just love this picture.}
{So photogenic!}
{The lean-to for James.}
{And of course my incredibly handsome, precious dog Ty. ;) Just look at that face...}
I hope you have been doing good and enjoying life while I've been away. I have a lot of blogs to catch up on. ;)
18 Greetings from Elven Friends
That necklace, and the idea of it, is the most precious thing I've ever seen/heard of. How sweet! It's enough to make me tear up a bit, and get butterflies in my stomach!
Ha, okay, I'm done being all silly and sentimental.
Loved this entire post, though :)
~Lauren :)
I'm so glad you're back, Eldarwen! I missed you!
Aww, that's so cute about Narthea and her beau. :)
I love all the pictures, especially the ones of your necklace. It's gorgeous!
Love in Him,
Elizabeth Rose
So happy you're back, dear! I missed you!
How special to be able to observe Narthea and her suitor...they sound adorable together:)
Great job on the photos! That first one is breathtaking!
Love & hugs!
Nana
WAITAMINNIT.
You have flowers you can take PICTURES OF and POST?
Not cool. D:<
For a second, I was like, um...I don't think your future husband will want that...oh okay, never mind!
Actually...I love that necklace. A LOT.
xo
Aww. Thanks for your just-for-me post, Eldarwen! ;) Glad you're back.
Really happy you're dad's doing well. When you weren't posting, I was afraid something was wrong. I'm glad everything's fine! :D
Narthea and her beau sound very sweet. I'm happy for them!
Love all the photos! <3
Yay I'm glad to see you're back :) I'm just curious, what is the difference between courtship and dating? They seem very very similar to me.
Your photos are so gorgeous! I'm glad you're doing well. :)
Yay! I was sooo excited to see that you posted, Eldarwen! :) I haven't been posting lately either. *hangs head* I don't know why, but blogging just hasn't been happening. :P Oh, well.
Anyway, I really enjoyed your update! I *love* all the pictures. No fair - we don't have any flowers around here to take pictures of... it's just brown and blah at the moment. Hopefully spring will come our way soon! And oh my goodness, Ty is too precious! I love his expression in that picture. Too cute! :D
Have a blessed Sunday, girl! <3
~ Love,
Lindsay
I'm so glad you've come back, Eldarwen! I was wondering where you were. *taps foot* ;)
I am LOVING the photos too! Very well done. :)
Wow, what a pretty neclace!
Imagine our future husband wearing a neclace...hehe. :)
♥, bree
Very nice photos.:) Love the necklace! Though my last name means "Keeper of the Key" so it does have special significance for me.:D
Ahh... so you are alive and kicking. ;) But I am very glad to hear from you again! Thanks for posting. :)
~Stephanie
When you're gone I miss your posts so much! That necklace is really pretty! I love all the pictures, you're a great photographer! :)

I LOVE the necklace-- what a precious idea!
I'm glad everything's been okay! I started wondering when you hadn't posted in so long if your dad had gotten sick or something :( so it's good to know that wasn't the case! did you get my (yes VERY late) reply/comment to your last comment to me?? lol

Anonymous, I'm sorry it has taken me a few days to get back to you. I had forgotten about your comment. :/ The difference between dating and courtship? Well, with courtship you wait until you're in the season of life where you're prepared to be married. Then the young man who wants to pursue marriage with you asks your father, he gives his permission (if he does approve of this young man), and then the fellow asks you if you'd like to court him. During the courting stages you become closer through God and you're really just getting to know each other better (you don't get intimate). Then engagement comes. When two people go into a courtship it is with the desire to marry that other person. Sometimes that's the case with dating, but sometimes it doesn't work out because maybe that couple rushed things. If they had waited until they were READY to be married, and then started their relationship, things might have worked out better for them. :) And I'm not saying that dating is bad. I hope no one gets that from what I have said, but I personally believe that courtship is the better way if you're looking for a life-long relationship, founded on Jesus Christ. :)
Kaite, hello dear friend! The weather was warm that day, but recently it has dropped again, down into the 50s. Which is pretty cold for Texas. lol ^_^ I wanted to take another walk outside with my camera, but unfortunately the weather is a bit too cool for me. I'm used to the warmer weather Texas has to offer. ;P I did get your lovely comment, but I have been so busy it slipped my mind! Thank you so much for reminding me and I will reply right now before I get tied up again. ;)
Love your sister in Christ,
Eldarwen
