Favorite Pics from 2010

I was very excited when I saw this chair next to such a beautiful blue shutter!


Its almost as if you can hear him saying, "I don't like snow."



This was a photo shoot I did with a friend to work on my photo skills!

Time in NY!!

This little mushroom was so miraculous- it took a while to get the settings right but no photo shop here!

I could pitch a tent right here!

Chris took the one above- Yes, he's very talented!

He took this one too, I LOVE IT!

Happy 2011.

monday is laundry day

well.... we are out of towels, and i am out of jeans... Monday is laundry day, and last monday we did about 7 hours of driving and family-ing so i have quite a bit.

This past Christmas was extremely poignant for me, a lot of changes, a bit of dissonance- as i realized that it takes resolve, and courage to change... but mostly it takes the Holy Spirit. I missed family this year in an ache-y way I know many can understand. But through it I was blessed to find a frame of reference.

I remember the first time I learned 'frame of reference' in science class... it has ever since had spiritual significance for me. My 'first-world' problems are so insignificant when I am reminded ... when God reminds me of a bigger picture, of bigger needs, of my own materialism. I am given a frame of reference

- and it's an outpouring of grace.
