Grad school is over (with the exception of the thesis), and it is finally time start life as an adult, and not a student. As a teacher, photographer, sister, daughter and friend, I'm doing my best to draw near to God and discover the plans He has for my life...definitely a work in progress!

The road home: Part II (the Betty Ford saga)

Some days are full of adventure. Some days are full of drama. Sometimes when you get to the other side, you discover that the drama was all part of the adventure. I am still working toward that discovery phase, but I think that I'm making good progress.The last couple of days have been spent in

The road home

It's been a mere three days since I left Mississippi, three days full of excitement, friendship, adventure and drama. The road home is not nearly as smooth or predictable as I had planned, but it is certainly exciting!Early Sunday morning I headed down to Baton Rouge to visit with my friend, Amy.

Dad

There are a few things you should know about my dad:1. BBQ is a religion to him. Seriously. He believes fervently in three things: oak pit bbq, the right brew to go with it, and the power of a good homemade bbq sauce.2. He's not a fan of technology. At least that's what he says. But although he r

Happenings

I haven't written lately because my mind's in a million places. It's been difficult to collect my thoughts and come up with something interesting or coherent. Here's what I've been up to:1. I visited California's central coast, where I hiked, visited friends and family, ate tri-tip, and helped my

I left my heart in...

Three short days remain until I board a plane to California, where I will have twelve blissful days of family and friends, visiting my old haunts, hiking my heart out, and witnessing the marriage of one of my most favorite people. It's strange to think that it's been five whole months since I packe

Aftermath

There are some things in life that I will never understand. Coffee, for example. I hated it so much when I was young, but now I can't get enough of it! It's my stimulant of choice, both because of its tantalizing aroma and the way it makes the world a happier place for about two hours. I tend to

When it hits the fan

Have you ever noticed that every time you make a commitment to follow God more closely, crazy things happen? And I don't mean crazy things like a flat tire (which would suck, no doubt). I mean crazy, soul-shaking, faith-challenging things. The reason I bring this up is pretty predictable: it's be

Picture pt. 2, or, An experiment in becoming more awesome

Probably the craziest, most insane and ridiculous thing I have done during the past four years is this: I removed God from his rightful place in my life and replaced him with a number of other things. Pride, intellectualism, self-sufficiency, people, the want of peoples' attention, food, money--the
