hope.

for my organization, "artists," we had a project over a verse. we could paint or write about or photograph or draw anything that we feel like has represented our semester and this verse."but he said to me, "my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." therefore, i will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that christ's power may rest on me. that is why, for christ's sake, i will delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. for when i am weak, then i am strong. 2nd corinthians 12:9-10

heavy stuff, but good stuff. hard to grab a hold of sometimes. but loved the project and was happy with the outcome as well :)

probs to dj for helping me out and letting me use his yard, his garage, his bikes, his self. keeper.

shalom.

sticks and stones.

may break my bones.

but words will never hurt me.

lies.

every last word.

but i do like this photo. and liked seeing this pile on the side of the road. and hope they got recycled.

say something particularly nice to someone today. you wont regret it.

graduation.

for my pup.

not me. unfortunately. soon. but not soon enough.

anway, petal graduated from puppy school last week, i'm just about as proud as can be.
here we are in all our glory :)

i feel like i have been blogging/talking about her a lot lately. but shes my baby, and does, in fact, bring a heck of a lot of joy to my life.

enjoy your day. go to petsmart. look at the pups and kittys :)

shalom.

serendipity.

favorite word.

An unsought, unintended, or unexpected discovery and learning experience that happens by accident and sagacity.

i hope something unexpected happens today :) but don't look for it. otherwise it might not happen.

nutcase.

new obsession.

i want this.

top of the christmas list. i can totally see me rockin this.

plus. it will keep me safe, because i have become quite the bike rider. it's exhilarating.

check out their website by clicking on the title. it's a cute one.

a pup a day.

is the best kind of day.

so i love my dog. mildly obsessed actually. she is a complete nut and just totally unpredictable.

we went to riverside campus, which is where i have my canoeing class. i wanted to go take pics and wanted some company as well, so dragged petal along.

push yourself a little more today. canoeing was a huge push for me and i have loved it. i'm awful at it, but i love it :) dont let nerves or fear drive your ability to do or not do something. take a leap. just try it. it feels good.

shalom.

comfort.

so today i had the day off of work. which has been wonderful and much needed but the reason i have the day off is because the family i nanny for is headed up to pennslvania to sign for their house in which they are moving to at the end of december. i know. depressing.

anyway, i was able to have such a wonderful morning. played with petal, read some blogs, looked up stuff for my new york trip that im taking in january. yah great stuff.

for lunch, i decided to continue the comfort and took a step back to my childhood. this meal is only fixed when i'm in the mood, and really, isn't fixed very often.

it consists of macaroni and cheese (disney princess of course) with hot dogs (dont judge) apples and peanut butter, and a capri sun. and because i am not one to ever. ever. ever. take pictures of my food (please hold me to this) you will just have to take my word for how precious it was :)

afternoon schedule: walk/exploring in the woods with petal, bike ride around the neighborhood, photography in downtown bryan, reading more blogs, study?, maybe even a few errands. what a day, what a day.

and just for fun, a recent photo of the pup :) i'm a proud owner.

flag football.

i have been wanting to broaden my range of photo taking abilities. so when i was invited to watch some dear friends play flag football, i was delighted. unfortunately, most of my photos were pretty blurry, but you gotta start somewhere :)

here are a couple of my favorites.

definitely made for a fun evening. we were just about the best cheer squad ever.

try something new. watch something fun.

shalom.
