$2 sweaters & honeycrisp apples

i had the day off today, so it was the perfect opportunity to catch up on some rest and also finish up an essay for one of my online classes. my brother and i had a chance to slip away to do some thrift shopping (goodwill yes!) and i purchased a gap sweater for less than an ice cream cone. (i'm not actually sure if it would be less than an ice cream cone, come to think of it the sweater was probably more expensive, but it was a good deal, nonetheless. :)

p.s. if you have not tried honeycrisp apples, try one! they are delicious!

the garden that you planted remains -- sea wolf

i'm writing in a coughing, sore, light-headed state... with tea in my left hand and typing with my right. but not really. i actually have so much to do that it's hilarious i'm writing right now. i found a good recipe for fruit dip for britt's shower tomorrrow :) and i'm finishing up some decorations i fastened together with tree branches, wire, and beads. my last week has been really good. i'm loving the weather (imagine the summer sunshine morning warmth + orange tinted leaves) and i can't wait for the month of october where i will be busy every single weekend.

thursday

this morning was a beautiful mysterious misty morning. running through the air was like running through a shimmery cloud -- such a cool feeling. now i'm at the church, catching up on homework, and listening to music. i feel like i don't have much to say, so here's a photograph of a flower from el salvador. i love the colours, and also how there are tiny white flowers peeking out from underneath the petals. the flowers in el salvador were some of the brightest, most vibrant flowers i've ever seen.

espresso!

so... today was an interestingly wonderful day. we performed our "mi rey jesus" dance at church, and it was awesome! i got to spend some delightful time with chelsea, in which we discussed her forthcoming wedding (next may/june). i'm gonna be a bridesmaid in it :) i love her and eric!

i'm suuuch a procrastinator. which is why online schooling is good for me... i think...

i'm feeling a bit headache-y at the moment, however i'm in a sing-song mood. it's kind of a nice mixture. abba is the music of the moment.

anyways, back to homework, goodnight

okay

okay so nevermind i just changed the picture for my heading, it's from the same place but it's called "there is no earthly explanation" and it's by rune guneriussen. just to be clear. time to read...

mmm

okay, so today was a pretty motivating day. i got up early, studied for a quiz, took the quiz, got 95%, then i went for a run in my wonderful new shoes.

i'm starting to become more aware of the presence of God in my life. i'm reading the book "blue like jazz" by donald miller, and in the beginning he talks about how certain people can trace God back to being so alive and breathing in just nature itself. how amazing is it to imagine that!
