its been raining a lot lately.
i need time to think, time to do something different.

God has really been on my mind lately
i've been really receptive to feelings about places and people
i bought my mom jesus for president and i hope she likes it
i have a box full of vases outside collecting water.

i have a christopher. i love that, love him.

i want indian food. who wants to go?

its the art of feeling naked in your clothes

so i have been jazzed on this whole idea of a politically and socially conscious bible study.
last night i saw shane claiborne on he Jesus for president tour.
i am thinking we could read that book together.

i want to do this before the election.

who's in?

also, i feed the neighborhood stray cats
and i'm going to argosy casino with my family tomorrow.

there is nothing to top that.

my cat likes indian food.

i went out today with katherine.
it's really nice doing that these days.
boo got sick today, pre-indian food,
but post-strawberry yogurt.

i like to share, but he can't do moderation.

i really don't like the mall kiosks or the scary man at forever 21.
tonight, i'm going out with some friends for a birthday.

see, i have things to do, impressive.

Honey Bee

bekah hasn't been to the house in weeks
it's really lonely over here on 2346 flora street
the storms have left me a little on edge too
come on over and visit, please.

went to the blue rock for karaoke night
i embarrassingly performed "this is how we do it"
and realized how bad of an idea it was one verse in

editing these wedding photos will take about 10 years.

i am a really fun friend if you would give me a chance.
i want to go shopping soon. yikes.

open your eyes
open your eyes
open your eyes

"i learned how to fish."

i didn't catch anything.
rachael was home for a few days
but i was out of town this weekend taking photos for a wedding;
i went to see her tonight and i cried
i cried because i have not seen or even really talked to her since she left
that was six months ago
it felt like she was dead and i was seeing her alive again
but she'll be going back and gone until december. maybe staying in kansas city forever.
and when i think about it, i cry.
i do that a lot these days, not always because i am sad, but because things are beautiful
and i can't express myself any other way.

congratulations to Julia and Steve, you two are adorable.
