So surreal and pretty.
And the latest work-related goings-on in my life: I’ve committed to write for a start-up wedding Web site to be revealed in a few weeks. I’m very much lacking real world experience on the topic, but I do spend more time than I’m willing to admit on wedding blogs.
AND, one of my closest friends, Alex, is marrying one of my closest guy friends, Steven, in May. So I’ll have the bridesmaid experience going for me.
Got to take their engagement photos. Check out more.
Also on the work front, I’m going to be spending one day a week doing Web stuff for Parents.com… the site for Parents and American Baby magazines. To work at a parenting/family magazine is a pretty significant goal of mine, so I’m so thankful for this opportunity.
[Funny these new things involve me writing about and working on weddings and children. I've had none of either of those. But really, I'm so ready for graduation/"the real world." I've always been ready for the next stage of life two years before it's actually time.]
For some women, the contents of their purse reveals a lot about them.
For me, the contents of my cell phone’s notepad say a lot. So, exactly how my notepad looks…

As a plug for my friend Megan’s new blog, I’d like to post this video. She’d been talking about getting a ferret for several months. Three out of her four roommates are for it. But still no ferret. I sent this to Megan and she showed it to the ferret-hating friend who still hates ferrets but now LOVES this video. The two of them watch it and imitate the way to ferrets move. And we’re adults.

I must admit. I bought this off Etsy:
Was really just too cute to pass up. I’ll use it enough. And I really love building outline drawings/products lately.
Like these:
My latest time-wasting tactic involves doodling my favorite NYC building along the bottom of my notebook page.

Have you seen that section on Craigslist, Missed Connections? They’re weird, sad and funny. I had seen the site, then I saw Missed Connections the blog. Illustrations by Sophie Blackall of exact postings on NYC’s Missed Connections page.
They’re beautiful, though the subject matter is odd.
This video and the one before make me ache to have kids. Someday. If it’s His desire for me.

Things I am currently excited about:
+ letters
+ adoption
+ honesty in fellowship
+ a co-leader
+ growing up
+ abundant opportunities
+ work
Lots of thoughts of the future today. I’m excited about some opportunities I may get to be a part of. More on that in coming months.
And with that, come some thoughts of social documentary photography. Photojournalism in poor nations.
Strange that I’m excited for plans that will make me so sad for and aware of the depravity of this world.
That’s how it works sometimes.
This brief slideshow by Jans Sochor is hard to watch. But well done. And worth your time.

Back from a long weekend at my family’s cabin in northern Wisconsin.
Two things:
1) The Lord has blessed with great friends. I really do love each of them. And I’m going to soak up the closeness of this college environment with them as much as possible before I leave*.
2) He has also blessed with such generous, hospitable parents. So thankful for the example they set for me and my brothers. I wish to be the same sort of adult they are — always giving and willing to serve.
*But really, who knows where I’ll be next year. Possibly still in Ames.
