2011, you've been pretty good to me... 2012, I'm...
To be quite frank, most of the years of the 23 that I’ve now been alive have turned out about the same. They are usually pretty tough to get through, but they are truly wonderful simulataneously. Every now and again, you get one of those rare years that falls into one of those arenas much more than the other, but usually it’s some crazy/beautiful combination of both. In 2012,...

I haven't blogged in weeks.
Wowzers.
I hope that this is about to change.
I have been out of school for a couple of weeks now. I don’t know how I did. I think I got some combination of all A’s and B’s, but I can’t look at my grades to know for sure because there is a block on my account. There shouldn’t be, but there is. Sometimes things happen in life that are beyond our control.
And I...
A reblog from todayisalive.com:
how one being
can hold so much beauty,
can be so truly beloved
is past my understanding.
(the eyes of heaven
watch your every breath;
in each heartbeat
do the angels take delight)
for such a time as this
has one
so handcrafted and pure
been formed.
(wells of love brim over
in the hearts of many;
they cannot love you enough
and this too is a mystery)

I’m praying for you.
This is the most comforting feeling in the world. I need it. Thank you, whoever you are. You’re wonderful.

Finals week finally started for me yesterday.
After next Thursday, I will be DONE.
I can’t waittttt!!!
…In the meantime, however, I still have about 8 papers/essays to finish, and 3 finals to study for. Gotta stay on it!
Keep the prayers coming, please. They are seriously helping me out a ton!
Y’all are awesome. Thanks for being you.

Ten Words You Need to Stop Misspelling:
Music I'm digging right now:
Young the Giant
and
Angus and Julia Stone
I have been listening to the both of them on repeat for days now.
…I’m going to post a couple videos of the latter for you since I’ve already posted a little Young the Giant before. The two I post are my favorite ones by the brother/sister duo so far: “Big Jet Plane” and “Paper Aeroplane.” (The fact that both...

really makes the best chai tea latte concentrate.
It seriously makes my mornings complete.
There’s nothing like waking up to a delicious glass of iced chai in your own house.
MY FAVORITE.
Instead of waiting on somebody to encourage you, be the encouragement somebody else needs.

“For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned.” - Song of Solomon 8:6-7…

WatchHahaha… I wish I would have seen this yesterday. So random and weird, just the way I like it. My Friday could have used this!
I’ve got so much mad crazy love for this...

I really hope you love to travel, because I want to see the world with you. I would even love to just drive across the continent, living out of our car. As long as I get to see everything the world has to offer with you.
