addiction

Ive been sick since last Thursday and have kept busy!! Last night I was playing around with needle and yarn and on the phone with my buddy and brainstorming on patterns for flowers and I came up with a new method! Im so excited!! And ADDICTED!! I can't put the needle down. Would anybody like one?

beautiful disaster

Its so beautiful by why does it have to hurt so incredibly much? Love brings such an excruciating pang inside my chest, and yet I haven't loved enough.... I think that is how I make it. I know there is only so much more love to come and I want more. I don't care to hurt so badly and it hurts so bad at the moment. That's the only cure for the pains of love, to love more. And it's so scary. Am I only fooling myself of this "it's worth it" crap? I don't think so but it doesn't keep me from drops of doubt.

getting there



I've been crazy busy this week, might explain why I got sick as soon as all the business ended!! But here is a preview of my series for my B&W Photo II class. It turned out to be a hit! FINALLY!! It was fun but completely nerve wrecking....




Yesterday I decided to pick up my yarn and needle. I really want to learn how to crochet so I was messing around for like ALL FRIGGN Day and I was able to make one of these!!


I made the blue one. A good friend of mine made the other two back in December for me. So mine came out a bit retarded and quite tight but now I know I can do it! And will have better success next time! YAY!!

ps...

7 MORE WEEKS!!!
I know it may seem lame that Im counting down... I just need the sun, I need the heat and I need my Frenchie!! <3

it's just CrAzY!!


Life is just one bowl of craziness...
I started off the week hating it, wanting to get over with it but then it hit me.
I've been trying to figure out what my minor is going to be, going insane wondering if I should still major in integrated studio art, emphasis photo... I'm so close to my BA if I figure out my minor... I need 24.5 credits for my major and 24/25 for my minor. To me that's just insanely soon and I WANT IT! I can merely taste it on the tip of my tongue, oh how bad I want... And well so many things interest me, talking to April, things just made sense... Oh how grateful to my Lord am I for my wonderful mother and sisters, so inspiring, so full of truth, knowledge and ideas! I know Im running left and right not making pure sense, rushing with my thoughts, my words.. IM JUST SO EXCITED!! Ok guys.... I want to teach!! But only the cuteness of innocent, loving children!! Lame? Nope. I don't care. So Im thinking of going into child development or finding more that I can get into. The ideal grades, kinder-2nd grade. I remember sharing this idea with someone last yr who is going into teaching and she simply said, "yeah but I don't want to babysit" I felt so dumb, but WHATEV! I love children. I've been babysitting cousins since I was about 9-10 yrs! Then babysitting for money as soon as I turned twelve! Then life guarded and swimming lessons for 3 yrs, and I just LOVE it!! And then my precious nieces!! I would be and feel priveleged to teach little kids and prepare them for greater things in life. And of course I will fulfill my dream of being a photographer. I have felt much peace since I've shared this plan of mine outloud. I know it's to be and it will be done. Things will work out, I know they will cause the Lord's on my side!

Another Week Gone By....

My weeks have been flying, I'm so grateful for this. I've been a busy bee so far this semester! Most of my time is taken up in photo lab, the gym and going out for adventurous walks! Things have been good, I do find myself complaining more than necessary but its really not THAT BAD... I have been given so much, so I'm working on not murmuring as much...

P.S.
Midterm is coming up!!! YEAH!!
