2007-06-27T14:00:00.000-07:00

fun new slide into the lake. Name of the slide: Wet Willie. Ponder on that.

Day 118

2007-06-27T13:55:00.000-07:00

Athens, TX
Amen.

the lake was sooo smooth that the reflection was breathtaking...

OK-I know there was time between florida and camp...but really...I either don't have pictures or I don't know what happened on what day. Sue me. =o)

Day 117

2007-06-27T13:49:00.001-07:00

sometimes when you spend TOO much quality time with your family, you look for a way out...hahaha

Day 116

2007-06-27T13:47:00.001-07:00

We went on a casino cruise. Totally not worth the money...oh wait, it was free to get on. Anyway, had this amazing view of the sunset with the American Flag. Oh, and it was memorial day weekend, how appropriate!

Day 115

2007-06-27T13:44:00.001-07:00

When we were at the beach, the clouds rushed in and covered us for all of 10 minutes...but I do have to say, it was nice to have a short break from the heat...without going in the water!

Day 114

2007-06-27T13:41:00.001-07:00

These flowers were outside the resort that the wedding reception was held at!

Day 113?

2007-06-27T13:37:00.000-07:00

So, I am going to just number in order from where I left off...even though I know they don't really coincide with where I was when!!

This picture is taken while we were driving to our hotel our first day in FLORIDA!!! It was gorgeous outside!

I'm back!

2007-06-27T13:34:00.000-07:00

Ok-in all honesty, I have no idea what pictures go for what day...so, I'm just going to post some pictures from the last few weeks, and call it good. I'll pick back up with my picture a day now...please forgive me for the time I've been gone!

2007-06-10T07:50:00.000-07:00

I'm at camp for the next two weeks!!! Then I will do a massive update with all my pictures from the past month! Sorry its been crazy with the end of school and the beginning of summer, I'm not giving up on this, and I definitely have some awesome pictures for yall!!

2007-05-31T07:28:00.000-07:00

So basically...I've been out of town. I do however have lots of pics to update with. A lot of them were taken on film, so I'm waiting to get them developed before I post them, as posting undeveloped film would be a bit difficult. I'm not lost forever...just have a lot to do the next couple days, then I'll get these pics posted.

Day 112

2007-05-20T08:38:00.000-07:00

Went out to my friend Tina's house.

She doesn't live in the country, but you have to drive in the country to get to it.

I love relaxing drives on long empty roads in the middle of nowhere.

Day 111

2007-05-19T08:29:00.000-07:00

Volunteered at Walk Now for Autism.

It was awesome.

Day 110

2007-05-18T08:22:00.000-07:00

Sky has been sick all week.

Kerry called me today to come watch her so that she (Kerry) could go get some sleep.

Sky slept most of the time I was here, so that was good, but she had the saddest cry ever while she was awake. Poor baby.

Day 109

2007-05-17T08:18:00.000-07:00

picture of a basket, and fun in photoshop.

lazy summer days are the BEST

2007-05-10T19:00:00.000-07:00

Finals are OVER!

Tis a cause for celebration!!

Day 99 - 101

2007-05-07T18:55:00.000-07:00

8 hours of moving...

the duplex is a mess...but I LOVE it

Day 94

2007-05-02T19:55:00.000-07:00

Big storms, tornado warning, flash flooding.

The water rose pretty high, this is the back yard behind my apartment building.

The entire first floor had 2 inches of standing water in it after the flood...it was crazy.

We spent a couple hours after the rain stopped sweeping it out of the doors with brooms.

Electricity finally came back on around 11:30pm.

Day 93

2007-05-01T19:54:00.000-07:00

yum.

Day 92

2007-04-30T19:50:00.000-07:00

my sister: these are really cool, they help so much when you're on the computer a lot

mom: it makes your hand look pregnant!

I love my family.

Shopping adventures with them are always fabulous!

Day 91

2007-04-29T21:20:00.000-07:00

I love this girl.

I wish she came to youth more often.

Day 90

2007-04-28T19:06:00.000-07:00

Guess what this is....

Day 89

2007-04-27T19:04:00.000-07:00

what can I say. I get bored when I'm stuck in traffic at 10:30pm.

Day 88

2007-04-26T19:00:00.000-07:00

I love how religion books have BS as part of the call number.

That just makes me laugh.

However, working on my exegesis does NOT make me laugh.

Day 87

2007-04-25T18:54:00.000-07:00

We went out for my roommate's 23 birthday.

Saltgrass...YUM

Day 86

2007-04-24T19:44:00.000-07:00

These were taken about 20 minutes apart.

My roommate actually took them, not me.

But, they symbolize today better.

Day 85

2007-04-23T20:27:00.000-07:00

Sometimes the world flashes by so fast.

Went to an interview tonight.

Got away as fast as I could.

Day 84

2007-04-22T22:05:00.000-07:00

we made banners for youth sunday.

theme is 'unsnatchable'

my hands still smell like paint...

Day 83

2007-04-21T22:03:00.000-07:00

sometimes the task of just making it through looks daunting

Day 82

2007-04-20T21:52:00.000-07:00

Day 81

2007-04-19T21:49:00.000-07:00

Last night I saw Wicked.

Fabulous cast. Fabulous music. Fabulous show.

Totally in my top 3 favorite musicals!

2007-04-18T21:48:00.000-07:00

Gorgeous weather today!

Day 79

2007-04-17T21:17:00.000-07:00

Went to an interview tonight.

they gave me a mug and a pen.

I love gifts, i'm not going to lie.

especially when they support coffee addictions.

Day 78

2007-04-16T21:15:00.000-07:00

I think its safe to say that I like sunsets.

Here is another one from outside my apartment. yay!

Day 77

2007-04-15T21:30:00.000-07:00

Today was absolutely gorgeous. The youth group decided to walk to 7-11 to get slurpees as our evening activity. It is so nice to just go out into nature and appreciate the beauty that God has given us in this world. Too often, we take it for granted.

Day 76

2007-04-14T21:19:00.000-07:00

There is something so completely comforting about going home to the neighborhood I grew up in. The smell both outside and inside the house brings a peace that is unexplainable.

Day 75

2007-04-13T21:07:00.000-07:00

Today was one of those days where I did not feel like sitting in the apartment. So, I headed to Target where I walked around for 2 hours. It was glorious. I like shopping by myself, just walking around and picking up very little to buy. Except in the dollar spot...I get into trouble buying cheap things there.

Day 74

2007-04-12T23:55:00.000-07:00

Anne's friends from college are in town. We took them out last night and they were pooped after we left the club. Good times were had by all!

Day 73

2007-04-11T20:12:00.000-07:00

I like doing crosswords...it keeps my mind sharp

Day 72

2007-04-10T19:57:00.000-07:00

Day 71

2007-04-09T23:50:00.000-07:00

Spent a million hours (ok, not quite that many) working on a paper discussing Christian Participation in War. I very much did not enjoy writing this paper.

Day 70

2007-04-08T16:51:00.000-07:00

He Is Risen!

I woke up at 7:15 this morning to drive home after an amazing weekend with my best friend in Wichita Falls. I love Easter, and the sunrise this morning really gave me a few moments to just sit in peace and awe at the beauty that God has provided for us and that surrounds us all the time if we are willing to pause and really take it in.

Christ Is Risen Indeed!

Day 69

2007-04-07T20:46:00.000-07:00

I love this picture.

Day 68

2007-04-06T16:43:00.000-07:00

I drove to see Em today in Wichita Falls.

It was a gorgeous day, and the roads were clear the whole way

Day 67

2007-04-05T20:28:00.000-07:00

sometimes i love my hair.

Day 66

2007-04-04T19:18:00.000-07:00

Behind these eyes

lies the soul of a child

Always searching for a peace

That will calm the storms of uncertainty

Day 65

2007-04-03T23:09:00.000-07:00

I love when I am just walking and I see something completely ordinary that inspires me to run and get my camera.

Day 64

2007-04-02T19:37:00.000-07:00

This is what I saw as I walked out of my apartment tonight.

Simply Breathtaking.

Day 63

2007-04-01T21:39:00.000-07:00

Palm Sunday is one of my favorite Sundays of the year.

Mom and I went to the Indian Market today....and they had a live eagle. It was awesome...

Day 62

2007-03-31T21:36:00.000-07:00

Playing pool with Kirb and Nina and Andrew.

A simple amazing evening.

Day 61

2007-03-30T20:40:00.000-07:00

This is another picture looking out my window. It is covered in raindrops.

The parking lot outside my building flooded tonight because of all this rain.

My car had water up to 1/2 in below my door.

Luckily, my car started and I was able to move it to higher ground.

A car parked in the visitor spots had water up over the hood...

no good I tell ya...no good at all.

Day 60

2007-03-29T22:25:00.000-07:00

Completely worn out after a grueling test.

Feeling small and dumb because I don't think I did well at all.

Wanting nothing more than to lay in bed and look up at the ceiling.

Day 59

2007-03-28T21:40:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I make a mess of things in my life.

My bed currently is one of those messes.

Day 58

2007-03-27T18:06:00.000-07:00

My eyes are getting blurry from all the reading...

Day 57

2007-03-27T17:33:00.000-07:00

so, not that you can read the number or anything...

But...A church called me about a position...

that's a step in the right direction!

Day 56

2007-03-25T19:16:00.000-07:00

This is Ruby.

I love this dog, she's so cute and sweet.

She's also VERY attached to her daddy...

Her head looks HUGE in this picture...haha

Day 55

2007-03-24T19:12:00.000-07:00

It really was amazing how much more color there was this week at Turner Falls. These purple trees were my favorite, and they were scattered througout the park.

Day 54

2007-03-23T19:10:00.000-07:00

Went camping again in Turner Falls this weekend with 11 friends. Seriously, this group of kids amaze me and challenge me every time we're around each other. Good kids, and they certainly like to play! So yes...campfire again...woo.

Day 53

2007-03-22T18:58:00.000-07:00

I'm OCD in many random ways.

This, oddly enough, is one of my favorite ways to be crazy.

My clothes must always be in this color order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black, grey.

I literally cannot put a shirt out of place. If I do, even if I've shut my closet door it bothers me so much, I go back to my closet to fix it.

Day 52

2007-03-21T21:49:00.000-07:00

Seriously.

Cutest. Baby. Ever.

Day 51

2007-03-20T21:38:00.000-07:00

Work in progress.

I've been working on this particular piece for almost a year now...halfway there. Maybe I'll have it finished by this time next year.

Day 50

2007-03-19T21:35:00.000-07:00

I love the fireplace at Kerry's house. They never use it for fire, so it just sits there unchanged by time, the candles always looking pure white. I want a fireplace...but I'd use it, not just let it be decoration.

Day 49

2007-03-18T21:33:00.000-07:00

My mouse is the coolest ever. It changes color every few seconds. People who sit around me in class like it because they like to watch it. Obviously classes are very stimulating if people are watching my mouse more than my prof.

Day 48

2007-03-17T21:05:00.000-07:00

Had dinner with my parents. We grilled out then mom and I went to marble slab and sat outside in the great weather while we ate our ice cream!

Day 47

2007-03-16T20:57:00.000-07:00

Had a migraine today and could barely get out of my bed for a good 4 hours. Lots of fun I tell you. This my friends...is my saving grace!

Day 46

2007-03-15T13:54:00.000-07:00

candles

Day 45

2007-03-14T13:53:00.000-07:00

We hiked for a long time down to the waterfall, sticking our feet in the cold rushing water was completely refreshing! Then, our second night was another fantastic sunset! I'm glad I go back to Turner Falls in a couple weeks!

Day 44

2007-03-13T13:40:00.000-07:00

I couldn't pick just one from my first night of camping.

I love camping. Being in nature, just completely disconnected from everything except God. There is something magical about sunsets away from the city, sitting around a campfire singing along as someone plays the guitar. Life is simple and beautiful out there...sometimes I wish it was always that way.

Day 43

2007-03-12T13:35:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow I go camping...hard to do when you don't own a tent or a sleeping bag.

Here is my new sleeping bag...is fairly awesome, and its red. That makes me happy.

Day 42

2007-03-11T13:33:00.000-07:00

My new cousin...Carter Pierson Norton!

Day 41

2007-03-10T18:03:00.000-08:00

Beautiful wedding.

Beautiful couple.

Day 40

2007-03-09T17:45:00.000-08:00

Anne was very excited about a road named her last name.

Plus, the clouds look pretty awesome here...

Sometimes we take what excitement we get on a long drive...

Day 39

2007-03-08T09:47:00.000-08:00

When I get frustrated, I like to drive around to let off steam.

Today, I needed to get in my car and just GO.

Day 38

2007-03-07T09:45:00.000-08:00

Sometimes life comes at you fast.

You gotta take things one at a time.

Day 37

2007-03-06T18:19:00.000-08:00

So, after turning in my terrible, horrible, no good, very bad midterm today

I came home and rewarded myself with watching this entire disc of Grey's.

This show makes me happy...

Day 36

2007-03-05T18:17:00.000-08:00

I like this quote a lot.

I do not however like how I didn't ever finish repainting the background...

yay for purple...

Day 35

2007-03-04T18:14:00.000-08:00

Frank is weinery and awesome...

if you don't believe me, just ask Peter

he'll sing you many songs of the awesomeness of Frank

Day 34

2007-03-03T23:45:00.000-08:00

MAVS game agains the Magic

Record Setting 15 wins in a row

AMAZING GAME...and GREAT SEATS!!

This is JET shooting a free throw!

Day 33

2007-03-02T02:00:00.000-08:00

When I hang out with my friends in Flower Mound, I often drive home late at night and the roads are empty except for a few scattered cars. I find solace in the time alone with God to reflect and listen out on the open roads. The world goes by so fast when we don't take time to stop and listen...

Day 32

2007-03-01T10:32:00.000-08:00

this is my tattoo...

it matches my best friends...

i miss her.

Day 31

2007-02-28T16:16:00.000-08:00

Sometimes, when I am alone in the apartment too long

I feel caged in, and I have a desire to break free

Day 30

2007-02-28T16:14:00.000-08:00

If you think about it, it is fairly amazing how single letters put together

form beautiful words...

Day 29

2007-02-28T16:11:00.000-08:00

Tagalongs. I crave girl scout cookies.

they make me happy.

Day 28

2007-02-25T19:47:00.000-08:00

Day 27

2007-02-25T19:40:00.001-08:00

Because Christ served us

let us serve each other as we remember Him

Day 26

2007-02-25T19:37:00.000-08:00

The Chaos that was the 4 Corners game

My camera was not dirty...it was just THAT dusty in the room!

Day 25

2007-02-22T23:27:00.000-08:00

My Lenten Journal...

Day 24

2007-02-21T18:09:00.000-08:00

From dust you have come and to dust you shall return

Ash Wednesday

Day 23

2007-02-21T18:05:00.000-08:00

Day 22

2007-02-19T20:10:00.000-08:00

Sky eating...I love how she reaches for my hand

and I just kinda liked the perspective on this one

Day 21

2007-02-19T20:06:00.000-08:00

I had a lot on my mind and heart that I needed to write down in order to sort it all out.

I'm still sorting...but writing helped.
