New Moon, Old Friends

This weekend our best friends, Kristin and Darby came to visit us! We went to see New Moon( and acted like 15 year old girls, it was borderline pathetic. But, we loved it!) It was so needed and absolutely wonderful. I miss these girls so much. It's so nice to just be able to "just be" with your friends. You don't have to worry about impressing, or what they will think of you, or if you say or do something extremely stupid. It doesn't matter. They love you. No matter what. I am so thankful for these girls and the role they have played in my life. Here are some pics from the weekend.

Technology Diet

So I took a step to help me be less stressed. I spend WAY too much time on Facebook and watching tv. Today, I deactivated my Facebook account for a little while. I don't know how long, but at least till Christmas break, I think, I may let myself get on it once or twice over Thanksgiving break. I am also only letting myself watch 3 things during my week: So You Think You Can Dance on Tuesdays, Greys Anatomy with the girls on Thursday, and NCIS(2 episodes). I am going to REALLY try to be disciplined with this. I have let silly things take up my time then I feel stressed or guilty about the things I haven't gotten done yet. Well, no more! (like my little motivational speech I am giving myself right now?) So your help and accountability would be much appreciated :)

Life, here I come.

Over. Whelmed.

Does this overwhelmed feeling ever go away?

It's been here for months.

I'm kinda over it.

I NEED it to go away.

It's ridiculous when you know that even your Thanksgiving break is going to be stressful and full of tasks.

Slow down life.

Please

Forget Me Not

Sometimes

I'm afraid

You'll forget me

Please don't forget me

This. Is. Just. Perfect.

It's the hardest part

Musical Reminders

We sang these two songs at the Gathering on Sunday. They both hit me pretty hard. Both beautiful pictures that just reminded me how wonderful God's love is
