we made it.

so, we made it to baltimore. and by we, i mean my friend steph and i. we left steph's house at around 4:30 in the am yesterday and drove all day. we were supposed to meet a friend for a bit, but sadly she had to study for a test. we miss you, becky! anyway, we made great time and arrived at our desired time. we could have been earlier but got a little sidetracked (note...lost) in the dc area and then hit some traffic coming from dc to baltimore.
however, when we got in baltimore, we got rid of the directions because we didn't find the road we were supposed to take and so.....i used the map and my very, very limited knowledge of the streets of the city and we found our way! an accomplishment :)

as soon as we got here we headed to dinner with some of the church family at a pretty good pizza restaurant. after we unloaded the car we walked down to fells point for some gelato and to see what kind of halloween crazinesswas happening. lots of interesting costumes. and the gelato was mmmm :)

i'm still not sure it's hit me that i'm actually going to be living here. and that i start work on monday. it's a little surreal right now :)

that's all for now....have a super day!

A New Post

Y'all. I have been starting and stopping, erasing and re-writing, thinking and planning, and starting and stopping again for this post. I haven't posted since the beginning of December, and that was only a list of things I had to do for finals. Hardly note-worthy. Before that, I hadn't posted since September. Which, upon reflection, was also only a "here's what has happened in the last several weeks" post....since I hadn't updated since MAY. Clearly I'm very good at keeping up with this little blog. Probably because I'm fairly certain the only people who read this are also those that I actually update on the phone... Also, I think I've been avoiding writing anything serious for awhile because I didn't really want to think about it in such a way that would lead to a post. "It" being any number of things I've been thinking about for the last 6 months or so. Likely, another reason for this is because there are so many things ...

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...

Over the Cliff

In the middle of Prince Caspian, there's a moment. Lucy has seen Aslan, but no one else has, and Aslan's told her she has to follow, whether anyone else does or not. Fortunately, they all agree to go with her. As the set off, she's the only one who can see Him, and she's leading everyone else.  "He led them to the right of the dancing trees -- whether they were still dancing nobody knew, for Lucy had her eyes on the Lion and the rest had their eyes on Lucy -- and nearer the edge of the gorge...for a long way Aslan went along the top of the precipices. Then they came to a place where some little trees grew right on the edge. He turned and disappeared among them. Lucy held her breath, for it looked as if he had plunged over the cliff..." Recently, I feel as if I've been following Jesus and He's disappeared, plunged right over the cliff. ********************* Last fall, I began thinking about words for 2017. I love the idea of claimin...
