Heart Smiles #2

Going to the register and finding out that what you grabbed is even more on sale then you realized!

The pants I originally thought were 25 bucks turned out to be 15!

Surprising Sales you make my heart (and my wallet) smile :)

Between The Branches

On Terry street there was a fig tree that grew over our porch. I used to always sit there when I needed to be alone. This picture reminds me alot of those times up between the branches. Away from it all. In fact I feel a poem coming on.

There’s always something more between

The branches of an elder tree

A place to rest a weary soul

When things begin to take their tole

A lovely place to catch a breath

To be alone at quiet rest

Forgotten sounds that reach me here

The gentle thrum of nature’s gears

Come breezy wind to kiss my face

Enter softly in this place

Then bursting with fantastic light

The flashing hue of orange bright

I see it is the rising sun

A warmth it breathes into my lungs

Reminding me of who I am

A daughter placed in mighty hands

Perched beyond those doubtful fears

The ones that whisper in my ears

They cannot reach me when I climb

Between the branches intertwined

Such perfect peace I’ve finally found

In my garden above the ground

Hope

"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all..." Emily Dickinson

Retro Riding

I love this whole look! Without the words this could be an awesome t-shirt!

And riding a bike is one of the great, simple things about life. Definitely a favorite past time. In Portland (Oregon) I rode my bike everyday exploring. Searching out new adventures, trying to find a hidden field or forest locked away within the confines of Suburbia. I was on occasion successful :)

Good Times.

Life Is Beautiful

Oh yes it is.

Heart Aches # 1

Soar throats!

All I want to eat is ice or soup.

I've been stuffing cough drops into my mouth all day

Soar throat you make my heart ache!

(P.S. I hate cough drops)

Free Time

No homework, dreams do come true!

Going to bed early, thank you Jesus.

Heart Smiles #1

So I kinda "borrowed" this idea from Ashley McCuen and her blog but I was just thinking of something that makes my heart smile.

Forgetting you hid candy in the freezer and then finding it. And no one has touched it! Oh frozen Milky Way you make my heart smile :)

Where The WIld Things Are

Where The Wild Things Are was a pretty awesome movie. Interesting worldview but absolutely hilarious! I went to go see it with Ashley on a double date. The "dates" were our brothers James and Christian and we had an awesome time together. Can't wait to do it again, I love The McCuens!

So I know this picture may seem insignificant but it has so much meaning. Basically Chris said take a picture of the audience. James who was holding the camera very boldly snapped a picture. Then you heard this resulting "Awwww." From the crowd like they were just so disappointed. We laughed hysterically.

Those guys are covering their faces from the flash!

The coolest shoes this side of the Himilayas!

Ashley and I love our brothers...unconditionally!

Good friends are love :)
