Ever Thought

Have you ever had that thought

"How is it, that I have gone so long without knowing
"this person""

Whether it be a friend or in my case, your significant other (aka, boyfriend,fiance,husband).

Its kind of a weird thought, a neat and kind of mind blowing thought, but nevertheless a weird thought.
I was putting together something for "our" first house (you'll see soon) and I was thinking about who I was this time last year. What i was doing. Who I was hanging out with.
How I didn't even know about this wonderful 6'5'' stud that God would bring into my life 5 months later.

If I had known that, I probably wouldn't have acted so stupid and selfish last summer.

But thats why life and life with Christ is so great. Because you learn from mistakes, stupidness, and selfishness and grow more and learn what God truly has for you.
ITS still though, such a weird thought that you're just going on with life and being single then BAM, you meet the person God has for you to spend the rest of your life with. And you've never met him before in your life until now.

I guess you could label this under a "random thought with Samantha" moment.

Requiem: Book Review

bookie 11:41 AM

Book Review:

This exciting finale to Lauren Oliver's New York Times bestselling Delirium trilogy is a riveting blend of nonstop action and forbidden romance in a dystopian United States.

Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has transformed. The nascent rebellion that was underway in Pandemonium has ignited into an all-out revolution in Requiem, and Lena is at the center of the fight.

After rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends fled to the Wilds. But the Wilds are no longer a safe haven. Pockets of rebellion have opened throughout the country, and the government cannot deny the existence of Invalids. Regulators infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels.

As Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain of the Wilds, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancée of the young mayor. Requiem is told from both Lena and Hana's points of view. They live side by side in a world that divides them until, at last, their stories converge.

With lyrical writing, Lauren Oliver seamlessly interweaves the peril that Lena faces with the inner tumult she experiences after the reappearance of her first love, Alex, the boy she thought was dead. Sophisticated and wide-ranging,

Requiem brings the Delirium trilogy to a thrilling conclusion.

My Review:
I ador this series. It's probably one of my favorites. Delirium healed my hunger games "book hangover". So I was very sad to read the end to the trilogy. However, unlike Pandemonium, which i felt kind of drang on and didn't have much action till the last half of the book, Requiem makes up for that. Action and more action and Alex and more action. It was a great end to a great trilogy and you better READ IT!

When being a nerd pays off

Being a nerd pays off when....

You ace any test that requires you to memorize dates and facts because you try your best to do this on a daily basis for things besides school
When a teacher assigns a book to read and you dont have to read it because you already did months ago
Your parents worry more about you being up late reading then out late with friends
The easiest way for your significant other to please you is to buy you a new book or cuddle up and watch star wars together
You can become the "cool new girl" within a group of guys because you know about what they are talking about 75% of the time
you get a free meal at Chick Fil A because you could identify the person who said the Star wars quote + the episode it was said in. (yes this did happen to me, my fiance was proud)
