No worries – more awesome pictures will come. And for those of you who are over my lack of photography skills, here’s a brief respite. I’m not a fan of the post office, but I sure do love getting mail. My mailbox is a little empty these days so naturally I jumped at the chance […]
Teaser 1: Getting There
I have, as you might imagine, about a million pictures to edit and upload. They’ll all be up someday (I only have a few days before I leave on another trip), but in the meantime I have a few teasers to share. Starting with this one!
Home
It just feels good to be back. Even if only for a few days.
On Man's Best Friend.
When you go away and leave your devoted pup with your parents, it’s only fitting that you should come home to find your boy dog looking like this: Happy Monday. I hope hilarity ensues in your life as well.
On Hard Things
Our dog (well, my brother’s dog, but the family dog nonetheless), Mr. H came home from the groomer with a seemingly normal complaint. “It looks like an infected toenail,” the groomer observed. Not concerned, my parents took him to the vet. They left without him as the infected toenail was much worse than it first […]
This Week.
This week: I’m going to California. The blog beef rages on. I have already planted potatoes. I am embracing my love of Virginia by getting amped for a road trip. I talked all about the shoes I’m wearing (and the ones I’m not!) in my best friend’s wedding. And I’m really looking forward to the […]
Spring Break 2010
This whole week I am house/dog/cat sitting for a family who are away for Spring Break. I thought it would be a lovely chance to get away for a while and just relax. I have the whole house to myself and it seemed like a great opportunity to just chill. The truth, however, is always […]
These are my Confessions
Back in the day (weeeeeell…maybe 7-8 years ago) I used to have this thing I called “confession time” wherein if you happened to be on aim at 3 in the morning I would target you and demand you confess something to me. 3am is a magical hour where secrets come spilling out and hot dogs […]
Spring
“Just think,” B said to me, in an uncharacteristically thoughtful moment. “Your love is beginning just as everything is starting to bloom.” We were driving, windows down. Sunshine – abundant. (I’d tell you her eyes were shining as she said this, but she’d just deny it.) B is right. As the trees started budding so […]
Good Things in the Spring
It’s been the most awesome weekend of the year. I came home on Friday to my new camera, a letter from an already returned missionary, a letter from a first cousin once-removed (family history work is the best), AND the seeds for my vegetable garden. If those things alone aren’t enough to indicate good things […]
