Give It All

So excited for my new business cards! Finished up everything for the baby blanket ministry today and we are ready to get things started! Finally!

I attended the funeral today of a dear friend of our family. He was a missionary serving in Africa for 40 years. Hearing his story, and stories about his life from other people was amazing. And, somewhat saddening to me as well. He was God's man and how many people do we know with stories to tell but we simply don't take the time to hear them. And, at some point it's too late. People are important. His humility, love for God, and service spoke volumes to me. And, he's not even here anymore. I would love to leave this Earth knowing I did everything in my power to show the love of Jesus to everyone who crossed my path. Though funerals can be very sad, AIM always does a wonderful job at making them encouraging, and always focusing on the hope of Jesus and that one day we will see him and all our other brothers and sisters in Christ once again.

New Places

After a productive afternoon at home, I headed out to Wildwood to check out Traditions Antique mall. Somebody got to get off work a little earlier too and go with me :). The place was huge and slighty overwhelming. But wonderful all at the same time. Lots of really neat things. Ended up in Sumter Landing at the end of the day, finishing up with some dancing at the square. Such fun! I don't know what it is about dancing... ^_^ It's fun by yourself, but it's even more fun when you've got a handsome man to dance with. G'nite world <3

My Quest

Shortest blog post yet:
I think this picture speaks for itself. No time for words tonight, I'm off to spend some quality time with my lovey. He's more important :).

In Love with Light

All I could think about on the way home from work today was how gorgeous the lighting was outside this evening (late afternoon). So wish I could have done a photo shoot today. It was gorgeous, white light and clear blue skies! If you don't have a model, the next best thing is a flower :). Okay, so this is my first action in photoshop. I must say Lightroom is so much easier. But I really like how this turned out. And, I'm slowly learning more so there is progress today!

Practice, Practice

I'm currently sitting here trying to figure out how to work at least something in CS5 and how to play if I Die Young on the guitar. Both resulting in a very frustrating experience at this time of night. Why does it have to have a b-minor? If only I had bigger hands to stretch one. Sometimes I like to believe I can do things without practicing. That doesn't normally work and it's not working right now either =D. I'd say it's time to hit the sack and give it a try (more like practice) tomorrow :). And, as for CS5 I need a book or something...

Unconditional

"I have loved you with an everlasting love." -Jeremiah 31:3

Sigh...the end of a wonderfully, long weekend. Strangely, I've made many lovely memories in the last 4 days and am feeling fully refreshed to take on the new week. Let me just say, if there is one thing that will make a woman's heart sore, is to know she is unconditionally and unfathomably loved. My Savior loves me like that ^_^.

I'm sitting here in my room after a warm bath, with my very favorite candle lit (Yankee Midnight Cove), unwinding, and cuddling with my ...computer?? Yes, I'd much rather it be a book but I must finish this first. :) Umm...I'm sooo craving scones right now. How random. This is not good.

The Unexpected

Yes, it might seem a bit strange to have a picture filled with fried rice and vegetables, but I would like to never forget the rather interesting Thai restaurant Luke and I went to and the wonderful evening we had together. I'm so in love with that boy.

Today was my last day with my cousin and his family. I had such a lovely time there and I loved spending time with them all. A change of pace was much needed. So sad to go, but so very happy they live not too far away. So it's more like a see ya later instead of goodbye.
