These next months are going to be the fastest months ever... and, at the same time, the slowest. The slowest because I am daily, even if only in my mind, counting down the days til I leave for Australia. The fastest, well, because starting now, my schedule just got cray. 

Friday night I'm manning a photo-booth at the 80s Prom for Missions that Apex is throwing. I'll have props, and a totally rad backdrop, so please get your photo snapped. I'll also have a tip jar to raise funds for my trip, so please bring something to toss in? (preferably of a monetary value, but I like candy pretty well too. Chocolate specifically.) 

I don't even want to think about the rest of my schedule this month. WHEW. Gonna be nuts.

Enjoy the instagrams. I'll have some new photography soon.

Currently enjoying....

Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies. I mean, really?! They are so good. I always forget how good they are. Band of Horses- I've been playing Everything, All the Time ....uh, all the time. Wearing bracelets and rings and other jewelry... its a big step for me! Sunny days. Pink lemonade. Taking photos again- I was just in the slump. I had absolutely no desire to take my camera anywhere, and now? I want to cart it around everywhere! (in light of this) VSCO Film presets and learning to use LR. Buying some new make-up. Painting my nails. Catching up with friends. Tax season being over. Starting to train (for reals, now that the weather is better) for a 5k....

anything you(all like, 4 of you who read this) are enjoying?

Excessive selfies. No shame.

Friday was lovely. Just what a day off should be. Sunny and gorgeous outside. A coffee date with one of my old roomies late morning. (we both appreciate sleeping it) Lots of life talking, laughs, discussions on the opposite sex and a mutual love for coffee and dreams of traveling to other places.

Then browsing at Goodwill before meeting with my friend Johanna to browse books at B&N and catch up a bit over lunch.

Then last night we had a little dinner party cook-out at a friends house. A BYOMD. (bring your own meat and drink) I supplied all sorts of yummy toppings and Leanne and Chris opened their home, and made yummy desserts. (Chris also was the grill king)

Matt brought kabobs- always having to one-up the rest of us. Mr. Classy.

 I got to see my sister-friend Kim tonight after waaaay too long of not seeing her. So we caught up over ice cream, tried to get the goats to scream at us (they didn't) and took silly photos. I love this lady so much. 

So, today is Friday. It's a welcome day off for me, as I work tomorrow. A day to wear comfy pants (I call these my Fun-Pants, yes Michael Scott, that's a nod to you and old-school The Office)

A day to get some organizing and things planned out for fundraisers and just life. 

A moment to put a slouchy hat and boots back on, since Ohio has again, presented us with cold weather. 

But mostly, today is a time to pray for a very dear friend. One of my close friends recently found out that her cancer is back, and today I received a text from my best friend/her sister-in-law that she has been care-flighted to her hospital for emergency surgery for blood on her brain.

Please, please pray with me friends. Pray for her and her husband. Pray that God would do something miraculous, and that he would grant them as much strength, peace and understanding as they need. Pray for their family as well, as they are like MY second family and are trying to trust God and be strong.
