Sweet Sixteen

"The Birthday Girl" (10.11.08)

My sister turned sixteen on Tuesday! Her party was fun and I'm so glad I got to be home for it last weekend! It's crazy how fast time is flying by... woosh! She's off at the homecoming dance this evening... with her senior date (gasp!)... & hopefully having a blast!

I'm actually home again for Fall Break and it's been great. Relaxation! Well, there are several papers looming that are going to have to be worked on later this evening...

Best get to it then, huh? Have a great weekend everyone!

Sticker

"Sticker is a Rock Star" (10.04.08)

My friend E is hardcore. She plays rugby. I snapped this picture of her after the game on Saturday... our team won 27 - 5!

Project Graffiti

"Journey (not the band)"

I jumped in on a project here... I wasn't exactly sure what the guidelines were, nor did I have any ideas of what to do when I started, so this is what came about.

Another LONG, paper-writing, book-reading, meeting-attending week begins for me... But at the end of it, I get to go home!! My sister's birthday is next week, but she's throwing a party Saturday night & I get to go home for it! Yay!

The Evidence

"Birthday Activities" (10.02.08)

We surprised a friend with a giant cookie, candles and all. Her birthday isn't until Saturday, but last night at SmallGroup (our bible study) we decided to go ahead and celebrate anyway! Technically, candles are HIGHLY illegal in the dorm. I plead the fifth.... but all I did was take pictures, I promise! (Okay, okay. And I ate a piece of the cookie...)

Have a happy weekend!

Bright, Sunny Days

"My Baby Sister" (08.30.08)

I'm so sad I haven't been posting much. I haven't had time to take any pictures, though, either. I'm hoping to get out this weekend and spend some quality time with my camera, but we'll see how that goes.

I have to get back to studying now. This was my (much-needed) break. I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far!

The Spot

The Tilt (08.18.08)

Arguably the best place around town to eat out: The Spot. Its a little diner that's been here since the 50's.... Delicious food, quaint atmosphere, etc. Its so great! The bar stools are my favorite part (even though they are a bit awkward to sit at if you're a group bigger than 2 people). Anyway, I'm so bad at choosing just one picture to post... so here's a 2nd!

The  Line (08.18.08)

In other news: I'm finally feeling better! I thought I was on the mend Saturday, but it came back at me Sunday. Grr. But with today came a welcome relief! Not completely healed, but enough that I can finally function. And I didn't nap at all today! The only down side is that now I've got SO much reading to catch up on... so I'm off to do that now.

I hope you are all having a fabulous week so far!

Project Show Me: YOU!

"Tubing 101: Hold on Tight!" (08.31.08)

I'm breaking two rules in one post (shh! Don't tell!)... 1) These pictures weren't taken for this project and 2) They weren't even taken by me. My wonderful Mom took them. But since I've been sick for the past couple of days (I finally feel better today!) I haven't exactly been looking my most photogenic. Besides... these are fun pictures! My family came up to visit me Labor Day weekend & we took the boat out! I tubed... and even learned to ski!

"Ski Advice: Don't have anything planned for the next day (or two)... you'll be too sore to move." (08.31.08)

It was SO fun! But I was super sore the next couple days.

"SPLASH" (08.31.08)

Just splashing around in the water spraying up along side the boat :)

--(edit)--I'm having an attack of conscience because I just remembered that I took some pictures of my new shoes the other day. But I don't want to undo all that I just did. So this is going to be a long post. Which is going to make me seem vain. Dang it. Oh well.

"Chuck Taylors/Cons/All-Stars... Whatever YOU call 'em" (09.06.08)

My new chucks. Yep. They're pretty rockin'. I'm even wearing them right now.

"No Title" (09.06.08)

So this one is super blurry because I was having trouble standing still/holding my camera steady and it's the reflection in my mirror, so that makes it a little more difficult. I can't decide if it makes it look sort of cool, or just... trippy. Hmm.

Well, I've had a great time doing this project and looking at everyone else's photos!
