a slight smattering

so, it's been awhile since i last wrote....sorry to the three of you who read this :)
a lot has happened since then, so here are some random bits from my life:


anna and ray's gallery is up on altmix photography....check it out! just click on the pic that says "anna and ray". thanks kate and matt! you're awesome!

i'm moving to baltimore!
there have been a lot of things that i've said on here about events in my future, being unsure about what was going to happen, etc. i didn't want to say on here til more was known. there's still a lot that i don't know, but i know these things:
i'm moving. i have a job at the jewish community center and i start on nov. 3. i'll be up there with gallery church baltimore. i know this is where God wants me.
and i'm super excited.

apartment hunting is interesting. enough said.

i love cold weather. i spent much of this weekend bundled up as much as i could be with what i took with me...scarves, jackets, socks. it was cold!!! and for those of you who know me really well....i'm always cold. but i love it! however, when i got back to atlanta, i had to lose the scarf and the jacket and the socks, and wished i was able to lose the long sleeve shirt i had on too, but didn't think that was a wise decision.
i'm so glad baltimore seems to have seasons :)

i saw this on postsecret on sunday:


ladies, isn't this so true?? while i may not fall in love with the guy, there's something about having a guy open a door for you that just makes you melt a little. it doesn't have to happen all the time, just enough. the guy definitely earns a lot of respect in my book. the chivalry thing gets me :)
i'm sure there's more to come later, but for now,
farewell, friends!

happy new year! and....a quarter of a century

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,...

motivation!

i think you should know that as i was typing the title to this post, i was singing it to a made up tune in my head... i have two papers due next week. one massive one and one that won't be so difficult. this means however, that i have less than a week to finish both of them and that means that i cannot spend any time doing anything other than work, school, or writing/researching. but. i've developed this "fall break is almost here, i don't want to do anything important right now" mentality. which is curious since i'll be doing school stuff all during fall break simply to catch up and then get ahead a little. so tonight, as i am about to get started on my work, i made a "motivation sheet!" that i can look at when i want to give up: using that verse might be a bit of a stretch, since i doubt the writer was thinking about writing 20 pg papers when he said it, but it seemed to fit. it includes baking and crafting and spending time with people, of cours...

pigeon love

yesterday, i was walking to my car and heard a pigeon. this is not especially unusual because there are pigeons all over the place, their presence just outside my house encouraged by the bird feeder hanging from one of the trees. however, this pigeon caught my attention because it was loud, close and sounded strange. i looked down and saw this pigeon essentially pacing back and forth by the wheels of a car.... where his pigeon friend had been the wheel's unfortunate victim and was no longer with us.  y'all... the pigeon was mourning the loss of his friend. it was so sad and sweet and touching.  i honestly wish i had had a camera to capture the moment. but it got me thinking. about friends, family, community, etc. being missed. don't we all want to be missed and mourned like the poor pigeon was? the kind of people that make the world, our communities, our families, and our friendships better because we are a part of them? and isn't that wh...
