In other news, I did buy a super cute blue tea kettle.  Tea party at my house!

huh?

I developed this old negative that my dad found in our old attic.  This picture fascinates me.  I have so many questions. When was this photo taken? Who is this woman? Why is she having her picture taken? Why is she holding those things?  For some reason I want to know everything about her.  My boyfriend says I ask a lot of questions that he never has the answers to. I guess I'm just a  curious person. Then I thought of something awful.  What is we all stopped being curious? How awful would that be? What if we stopped searching for answers and just accepted everything we were told?  I love to explore. I love to explore so much that I sometimes wish I was more adventurous so that I could do even more exploring. This year my goal is just that.  I want to be more adventurous.  I want to take more risks. I want to ask more questions...and find the answers to them.  This year is going to be the best year yet.  I want this year to be an exciting journey with God.  I want him to teach  me and show me more things than I could ever dream of.  I want to be changed for the better.  I know it's going to be challenging at times.  There are going to be some days I'm going to want to be comfortable again, but I know it's going to be okay.

For those of you who don't know, I am planning to do a study abroad program in Cyprus this spring.  To be honest, I am scared out of my mind.   Cyprus is very far away from every one I love.  I will be all alone half way across the world.  I know that this will be a great experience for me.  I know it will change me, and I think I am ready for that.  

I'll keep you updated on this.

p.s. sorry I rambled so much on this post, I don't know what got into me.  Maybe it's because I just watched the sisterhood of the traveling pants. Yep, I think it was the pants.

Confession

I have a confession to make.  Remember the "ourbrainsareba" blog, with the sister brains.  The one where we all wrote about how much we love each other.  Wellll... when I set up this blog I accidentally deleted that one.  I don't know how it happened, I guess it was just time for it to disappear.  Funny timing though.  I don't really know whether to laugh or cry.  Bottom line: don't go looking for the sister brains anymore, you won't find them.  It's partly my fault, but really we're all to blame

"Sleepin's for babies, gamers play all night."

This is probably my favorite YouTube video of all time. I could watch it every day of my life and still laugh every time. This guy is just a kick in the pants. I just hope Jon doesn't end up like this. He is quite the Zelda lover.

It's a Christmas Miracle!

I hate unpainted toenails.
I hate painted toenails even more.
Usually my toes are sportin' somewhere between a fleck and a speck of polish.
I'm just too lazy to repaint my toenails when they start to chip.
Not anymore my friends, not since I picked up this cheap miracle polish from Target.
It's called "Milani nail laquer"
Fancy. I know.
Trust me though, it will change your life.
I painted my toes like a month and a half ago and I still appear to be one classy lady.
Try it. you will become a believer.

Sabbath Day

The Sabbath Day is my favorite day ever.
Lately Jon and I have been going to Calvary Chapel on Sunday nights. It's just the bomb at that place. I love it. Anyways, Every Sunday I've been sleeping in late, which means I can actually stay awake in church. This is a new thing for me. It's changing my life. Yesterday we went to Boise early and paid visits to Ann Morrison Park, the train depot, and borders. It was so fun. After church we drove up to Table Rock and saw the sky as the sun was setting. It was amazing. I just thought to my self "wow, the one who made all of this is taking care of me." I definately let go of all the worry and frustration that has been building up in me over the past few weeks. Thank Jesus for the Sabbath day.
