Get ready for a ROYAL WEDDING overload!!!!!

So this morning, at precisely 4:05, I went to www.bbc.com/royalwedding, and watched the Royal Wedding in London, at Westminster Abbey. I will NEVER EVER forget this huge event. It was absolutley fantastically, epic! I was sorta worried that Kate would go for a strapless dress, which is, personally, EXTREMLEY BORING, becuz soo many brides go for that look, and I hate it; besides the fact that strapless is not modest. But nope, Kate did not. Her designer was Sara Burton, and her dress elegant and simple, and aboslutley LOVELY.
Anyhoo, I'm sure you're dying to see some pictures. So here they are! Enjoy, and please tell me what you think!!!

Kate and her father, Michael Middleton, arriving at Westminster Abbey for the service.

At the altar... Michael giving away his daughter. (i love the look on Kate's face: pure joy.)

Queen Elizabeth II, and her husband Prince Philip, on their way to Buckingham Palace.

Prince Charles, Michael, and Carole Middleton.

Waving to the crowd on their way to Buckingham Palace, after the service.

Prince Harry, a page boy, and a bridesmaid, on their way to B.P.

The procession - isn't it GRAND?!?!

Brothers William and Harry heading towards the abbey for the service.

the GORGEOUS gown!!!!!!! (that's Kate's sister, Pippa, holding the train. She was the maid of honor.)

Prince William slipping the ring on his bride's finger. For some reason, William decided to go ringless. Don't ask me why.

On the balcony.

Awwwww!!!!!! :)

Arrving at Buckingham Palace.

Prince Harry, and Pippa, walking back down the aisle after the service, with the bridesmaids.

the CAKE!

In the wonderfully decorated car.

CONGRATULATIONS WILLIAM AND KATE!!!

my *EASTER* weekend

Hi everyone!!!

So sorry for not posting for a few days, but on Easter Sunday, we went to my grandparents to celebrate Meg and Lis's 12th bday, which was actually yesterday, and then I spent Sunday, Monday, and today with them at their house. I had a lot of fun, but I'm glad to be back in the world of computers!!!! My grandparents don't have a computer, and my mom refused to let me take Pixie... of course I wouldn't have been able to get wireless anyways... :)

Watched an AMAZING movie, "The Secret Garden". Its now one of my faves, but LWW still holds 1st place, and always will. A possible movie review coming up on "the Secret Garden", if I can find good enuff pix. The girl who plays Mary (Kate Maberly) is ADORABLE!!!! I would almost swear she was related to Georgie Henley, they look THAT MUCH alike, at least when GG was ten years old. :)

i would SO wear that outfit!!!! isn't it ADORABLE?!?!

awwww

hehe i love the third pic, to the left! LOL

So yes, that was my weekend! How was yours? What did you do for your Easter weekend?!? Please tell!!!

Lotsa love and hugs,

Manda

Character Questions?!??!?!

Hi all!

I would ab-so-lut-ley LOVE it if you would leave comments with a question or two about what you'd like to know about my character, Mackenzie. And also, Anna, Chandler and Matt, as well. :) From my book, "A New Song". I got the title from Psalms 40:3. Go look it up - NOW.

So yes, these questions WOULD.BE.MOST.APPRECIATED. And these questions can be totally random, too! But they have to be about what you want to know about my character(s). Thanks!!!!
Looking forward to answering these questions. *winks*

Love and Narnia,
Manda Liz

Mackenzie

Matt

Anna

Chandler

I know what you guys are thinking: 'She WOULD use Narnia people as her characters!'

Yup, you're totally right! I would. :)

This afternoon...

WE ARE GOING TO WATCH VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I'm happy. We just rented it, becuz Dad doesn't want to buy it until the price goes down some more. Oh Daddy....  ;D

So yes. ta ta!

Love,
Manda

Weddings.... dontcha love 'em????

Leaving for a friend's wedding in Galesburg, IL today. I might possibly be seeing a friend from camp there.... Phil, doesn't Julie live in Galesburg? I could be wrong tho....


Anyhoo, I won't be able to take any pictures, cuz my camera's dead (why does that always have to happen when something big is going on that I want photographed???) Argghh. But my sis Meg will be taking some pix, and possibly Mom too. So, if they do, I will share them with you ASAP. Ok? ta ta! Have a lovely, *cough cold cough* spring weekend!!!

Love and hugs,

Manda <3

Fashion Trend: shorts w/ tights

Personally, I LOVE this style! I found out about it from my favorite actress, Georgie Henley, when I saw some pictures of her and Will Poulter on this British show called 'Blue Peter'. And also, Olivia, from over at 'Horsefeathers' did a post about one of her outfits, and it was shorts w/ tights, a t-shirt, and floral wedges. Sooo cute!!! :)

longer shorts with tights is just as adorable as mid-thigh shorts and tights!!! :)

What do you think of the style? Would you wear it???

I actually have not tried wearing shorts with tights, but I'm eager to. 'Cept I'll have to wait till this next fall, or maybe I could try it on a rainy spring/summer day!?!?! :) Do you think so????


Anyhoo, to end this post, here's a recent fave picture:
