A day in the life


I found this on A cup of Jo. A photographer asked 10 photographers around the world to take 10 photos on 10/10/10.

The results are amazing.

Here is one of my favorite.
Enjoy seeing a little around the world on this one day.

Precious

I am doing a Psychology research project on the marriages of Point Loma Nazarene University Alumni. We have gotten some sad responses, yet so many good where God has blessed them. I thought this was an encouraging response from one lady. I love her wisdom and compassion. As much as you hear marriage is so hard etc., this can not help but give you faith. Enjoy her wisdom


Names changed for confidentiality

"Oh, no discomfort at all from this study. I thought I answered all questions but survey wouldn't let me finish and send it back to you. I would gladly have answered all the questions I just want to add a little more. Jeff and I had a blessed and happy marriage for almost 61 years. We were both virgins when we married and remained faithful to the end. Furthermore, he was my "hunk" (excuse the expression) to the end; and, when I stood looking down at him in the emergency room, he said in his beautiful way: "Who is that gorgeous white-haired woman looking down at me?" We loved people, but we were perfectly content to be together all by ourselves. God blessed us with a beautiful family in which all are believers and everybody loves each other. Three are in the ministry. I would love to pass the message on to the younger generation that a happy, blessed marriage is possible to those who continue to cherish each other and keep Christ as the Head of the household. Blessings on you and those precious students involved in this study. "

Enjoy the presence of those you love today.

Day Dreaming

While attempting to study, I can not help but to keep day dreaming about this place. I have this secret desire to go to Greece and explore this extremely beautiful, unique, and romantic place.

I feel like Greece is everywhere...

Including two of my favorite movies
This place just seem so magical...


After my craze escalated a few weeks ago, I started a jar to save for this trip one day.

Haven't even made a dent in it!

Antiques

My family loves antiques. In our vacations, we include any antique shop we possibly can. I love it. There is something about someone else's old things. There is the smell, kind of like an old book. Then, You wonder the story behind it and what it has seen? Sometimes, I wish they could talk.

In Oregon, I found a few things I thought my parents would like.


This was their bathroom sink!
I loved the old pots that were used!!
Here is the beautiful home these were at

Sweet

Found this on another blog (Cup of Jo). When I grow up I want a swing in my house. There is nothing like the easy going task of swinging.

Summer is a comin

There is nothing like the freedom of summer. You are in between school years, and have a new fresh start to look forward to. In the mean time you soak up as much of the freedom as possible with work and school and of course the fun things like friends, training for cross, family, church events, beach, God's voice, and having a whole summer to hear about the man you love's wild adventures in Costa Rica. I can not wait! 3 finals and I am there...

Person of the Week!

Maggie Barankitse
Maggie was around during the 1993 civil wars in Rwanda. At one point in the war, she herself saw many become killed. She worked and managed to save 25 children that she took into her home. After this, she knew what her new role was.

Maggie began to form the Maison Shalom. This means the house of peace. Her goal was to use this house for orphaned, mistreated, and abandoned children "in security, education, and love".

She provides education to these kids loves these kids and so much more. She wants to let them have a real family, so she places them in houses on the property and allows them to have a family unit they belong to. Today, she has over 10,000 kids that she mothers.



This woman has shown the world how to love selflessly. She has also shown the importance of the children around the world and how important they are to the future. I can not wait to work with even more kids some day :)

Circus



Maddi had never been to the circus before, so we went. I was impressed but I have one question. Since when did the circus not have any animals?

Father Daughter Day



I am such a creeper. I was reading my bible in my car on my break today and couldn't help but love to watch this Dad daughter and puppy as they tumbled in the grass. They wrestled and chased each other and rolled through the grass. They did not care about anyone else around them. It reminded me of a new couple and how they can only see into the eyes of that one person. This daddy was doing so well at showing this little girl how beautiful she is. I loved the fun of it though! Hopefully that didn't catch me snapping photos:)

Relax

Today, I helped out in Maddi's class again. It is so fun to watch her and how big and grown up she is:)

Afterwards, I visited my great grandma. It was nice to be able to talk to her one on one. She has so many cool stories about when she was younger. I found out she was a cheerleader. Who would have guessed? She has so many tihngs about her that I never knew.


Finally, we went to get the bridesmaid dresses today. It is so fun to see this all coming together...
here they are...after being the doll for thirty dresses as we tried each one on, this is the winner:) I cant wait for their big day!!!!
