Oh em gee. Happy depth of feels day friends! It has been so long and it feels good to start the week off blogging :] Thanks to everyone who said they were refreshing their browsers the last two Mondays looking for me, it made me feel so loved! But also, sorry about the lapse!
The last couple weeks have been such a blur! I’ve been learning so, so much about myself and others and just trying to take it all in. I had a pretty significant break from my camera which is just making me itch to start shooting again. Come onnnnn wedding season! Get here already!
Last week I turned 24! Which was an amazing highlight, but it was also just nice to be back in the swing of things with school starting and Cru. Only a couple more weeks left in the school year and I am already missing my students just thinking about it. I got to spend time with a ton of friends, see my BFF which was WONDERFUL for my soul, and read a ton in the last week and I finally feel refreshed. Spring break was exhausting and I feel like a real person again now :] Heck yes for that. My Cru staff team also got to spend a ton of time with our Regional Team (basically our bosses who facilitate the whole midatlantic region) which was so refreshing! We basically just got to share with them all that God has been doing in our tiny town. Mmm. Hooray for scrambled thoughts…here are some more…
- More and more and more I am loving the art of writing things down. Aka journaling. I love putting pen to paper and sorting out my thoughts, writing down quotes, and reflecting on life. “Because the picking up of a pen isn’t painful and ink can be cheap medicine. And I just might live.” -Ann Voskamp
- I am such a little bookworm lately. I cannot stop reading and it is a little unhealthy but mostly really wonderful. I gave up binge watching TV shows for Lent, so I suddenly have all of this free time to read and live in my own imagination. Literature for the win.
- My soul LONGS for the beach. When we were in North Carolina a couple days ago I just rejoiced in having my feet in the sand. There is nothing like nature’s pedicure, aka a long walk and talk with your feet on the beach. (name that movie)
- Neville is the cutest freakin stuffed animal on the planet. Especially now that I’ve given him a horrible haircut.
- There will never be enough puppies to satisfy me. David and I made the mistake of going into a puppy store with the mindset that we would never want a dog now that we have perfect fluffy Neville. Nope. We saw a pug named LaVerne and almost walked out with it.
That’s all for now. These next two images capture my life lately. I’ll explain later :]
