You Held the World in Your Arms

2009-11-18T21:32:42Z

On Friday, I took my eleventh graders to a school for blind girls (and a few boys too), where we learned so much about their life and education process. Then during their recess, we were given the chance to play with and talk to these precious children. Soon I'll post a few pics of the learning stations that my students participated in earlier that morning, but I just loved these shots too much not to share them first.

Cornerstone

We had a long weekend recently, so I went to a conference with some friends, and had such a great time relaxing and drawing closer to God. There was always some free time in the afternoon for games. As soon as I heard that there was a game of flag football down the hill from us(remember, I'm in the land where soccer is king), I took off to snap a few pictures. This was such an adorable game! Man, I love football. Song/Title: Cornerstone - Arctic Monkeys

The Planets Bend Between Us

2009-11-10T19:38:50Z

It's a little late, but here are just a few pictures of the early part of our Halloween party. All three of us were far too busy entertaining to be bothered with our fancy-pants cameras. It was a fun night, for sure. Song/Title: The Planets Bend Between Us - Snow Patrol

Scars on Land

2009-10-21T21:21:15Z

I just got the new Kings of Convenience disc today, and have been listening to it fairly non-stop. It reminds me of walking through the windy, wintertime city (which I love), but it reminds my roomate about the surf on the beach (which she loves). I don't have any wintertime shots since I live in the land of nearly perpetual summer. Pues...a beach shot it is. Here's the outdoor restaurant we ate at on our way to Mayto. It's this little (and still very touristy) beach right outside of Puerta Vallarta. Song/Title: Scars on Land - Kings of Convenience

I Miss You

2009-10-19T15:42:34Z

I could put up another beach picture, but I was looking through some old shots, and decided on this one of my Mississippi hometown instead, because it made me smile. I really can't remember if I've ever posted this one or not before -- if I have, sorry for the repeat. :) Song/Title: I Miss You - Shane & Shane

Kilometros

2009-10-18T22:02:51Z

Beautiful scene, yes, and I have a feeling that by the end of my Monday I'm going to wish I were right next to those glassy ocean waves again. Truly though, I'm really excited by the new chill in the air down here, along with the ability to finally pull out a few of my scarves. Eternal summer gets a little old, actually.
