Feeling thankful

I feel very blessed right now and realized that I usually think about the things in my life that bother me. It’s time to focus on what I’m thankful for. So here are the things I feel thankful for today:

An amazing husband. I can’t take him for granted because I know what it’s like [...]

Self portraits

Do you remember the days when I used to write several blog posts a week, and I would write about anything that came into my head, whether the thoughts were deep, dark, crazy and too personal? No, you probably don’t. That was several years and blogs ago.
I’m beginning to itch for beauty in [...]

Baby stuff

So it turns out I don’t have gestational diabetes, which I am thankful for. After hearing everything my sister has to go through because of it, I’m very thankful. I still don’t have a side shot of my pregnant belly, but it’s definitely growing. (I’ll save this for another post, but I’m just wondering: why [...]

SPC

Just posting my next self portrait challenge pic. I had decided that I was going to give up SPC, because I was a little put off by the nudity on their website (the theme is the body, after all), but I decided I just won’t look. I still want to participate. The body theme will [...]

Here’s my self portrait for the week, my first one ever. This one is called ‘eye of my storm’. My weekend was rough; this week has been hard, but between all that, on Monday evening, I experienced a reprieve. John and I sat on our balcony, holding hands and talking about the future as [...]

he’s back

My husband was in Texas this weekend visiting a school there. Not in the city featured on his shirt. I’m just glad he’s back.
But now we must talk of packing and cleaning and job hunting and finality. I’m not ready yet.

the reason is you

Two years ago today, John and I were married in the Las Vegas temple. It’s hard to believe we’ve been married two years already, yet I feel as though I’ve been with him forever. Anyone who knows us can see that we’re MFEO; there’s no one who understands me or loves me better than [...]

love

So remember that one time when I said I would share a picture of the valentine card I made for John? Well, I’m finally doing that. Just remember that it’s pretty much my first attempt at paint ever. But I like it anyway, flaws and all:

And you know what John got me? This:

If you know [...]

thinking about tomorrow

The wheels in my mind are turning. I’ve talked before about life goals and how I don’t really have any. I encourage other people to pursue their dreams, but I don’t look inside myself long enough to know what my dreams even are. So I’m thinking.
And meanwhile, here are pictures from our trip to Delaware. [...]

drag races visualized

So I finally uploaded some pictures. I’m really bad at doing that. But since I have pictures, I thought you might enjoy seeing what the drag races really look like…
Do you see all the nasty smoke in the air?

You can hardly see it in the picture, but even the pit crew in the van gets [...]

A while back I said I would post projects from my Chinese calligraphy class. And today is the day that I do.
I took the class this past spring, but I’ve been wanting to take it since 2001. It was a dream, and I did it. The reason I wanted to take it? I was in [...]
