Picture Perfect...

I used to go to school with Noah. He was the guy who lent me Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendricks dvds. He was cool and a person who I loved to talk to about music. He graduated last year and since then has moved on to bigger and better things.

One of them being that he is engaged!!

He and Jenna have been together forever and they are so cute. These are their engagement pictures and I absolutely adore them! They are beautiful and perfectly represent who they are as a couple.

And besides that, they are just great pictures :)

I love wedding and engagement pictures!!

Peace and Love,

Love...

Love that comes from the heart responds with the hands without prejudice.

Heard that in church this morning and thought I'd share.

I Can't Understand...

My friends never cease to amaze me. Sometimes that's a bad thing, but tonight it's a good thing. A bunch of my friends keep these little journals that they carry around with them all the time. It has become the latest trend. I think it's cool that they journal, but I am pretty content with my blog baby that I haven't really joined this movement. lol

Anyway, tonight at our Grand Tour dinner I looked through Alyssa's. The whole thing was full of color and the best little doodles and drawings. To me it was like a big book of happiness. But it wasn't all just sweet nothings and songs lyrics, Alyssa writes to and about God a LOT. Flipping through those pages really inspired me. Alyssa hasn't had the easiest couple of years. She's had a lot to go through with her family and herself and she has come out of it an incredibly strong young woman. I am so proud of her. She had to witness and go through something really hard today. She always is able to keep a strong face but today she told me that she broke down.

Through all of her trials this past couple of years she has inspired me more and more. I myself am not a very strong person, but Alyssa has been so mature and strong that she constantly gives me the motivation to be brave.

I am so proud of you Lyss. I know that I will never be able to understand everything that you have been through. God has done amazing work in you and I am so glad that I have been able to witness your growth in your relationship with God. Thank you for being my friend and thank you for being an inspiration to me. Hang in there. Remember that God is always holding your hand.

Peace and Love,

I'm About to Crash...

I came home today and slept until 7:30 only to go out at 9:30 to hang out with friends. And to add to all the sleep that I have already lost, I have to be up early to go to work. There are just not enough hours in the day.

A bunch of us went over to my friend Drew's house tonight and sat on the back porch and watched the school's production of Oklahoma! It was really fun!

I think I'm gonna head off to bed.

Before I go, here's a little color for your weekend :)

Peace and Love,

Book Club Night...

So tonight we had our second Jane Austen Book Club meeting. We were reading Pride and Prejudice. Sadly, I didn't make it to the end of the book but I have read it before and could hold my own in the conversation.

I drank possibly the best fruit smoothie I have ever tasted.

I made a new friend named Buddy.

We planned an epic trip to New York that has me way too excited.

We screamed like 5-year-olds when we saw what was a mix between a spider and a cricket on the wall.

And we came to the conclusion that Mr. Darcy is the ideal man.

Sounds like a pretty good night :)

Peace and Love,

Em
