I had the delight of going wedding dress shopping today with Jalene and her mom, grandma, aunt, and niece!! She is going to be the most beautiful bride ever! Here are 2 collages I created today, and will get printed to give Jalene for her Bday (shhhh! Don't tell!), which is tomorrow, the 24th.

Dinner! As you may know, I have been on a gluten-free diet for quite a while now. During my senior year at NWC, a nutritionist recommended I cut out gluten, to see if it was the culprit of various symptoms I was experiencing. Sure enough, I felt much better after I had cut it out of my diet. In this past month I have been slowly adding different foods with gluten into my diet, and I've had no problem so far! Tonight I bought some bread and made a DELICIOUS sandwhich: Chichen, cheese, tomato, cilantro, spinach, and mustard! YuM! A group of us went to Manitou Springs during a couple hours of free time. Here's a photo of us ladies! Kim, Me, Seihee, Alyssa, and Alex. Happy Saint Patrick's Day! I think we should celebrate this day more often...the sea of green shirts was so great! On our drive to Colorado Springs on our Spring Break Trip, the rental van got a flat tire! God provided a rest area the moment it happened, which was a HUGE blessing, because the rental van was not equipped with the tools the guys needed to change the tire! We were only about 30 miles away from our destination, which was also a blessing because we had to go slowly on the little spare tire! I've been gone the past week on our spring break trip, without internet. More photos to come! This is _____. Yep, I wish I had asked for his name! I was walking back to my car after being on campus, and this homeless man approached me and asked for spare change. After I told him I didn't have any, he enthusiastically said, "Well God Bless you! Have a great spring break!" After I kindly said thank you, he looked down at my camera (I was holding it around my neck, looking for photo opp's!) and his face lit up as he said, "Could I get my picture taken by a beautiful young lady?" Ok! So I did! And I love this image. It captures a side of Albuquerque I don't naturally photograph. The homeless population here is huge, and my heart often breaks for them as they sit by the side of the road, and I drive past. God has given me a new compassion for the homeless, and I wish there were a way I could truly help them, more than just sparing a little change. Seeing them always reminds me of the passage in Matt 9:36 that says, "When he (Jesus) saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." A sticky mess! I made rice crispy treats for the drive to Colorado Springs, and it reminded me of home. In high school, I made this treat very often, so making it here brought me back to the "good-ole-days"! |
365 days of Photos!
This is a unique type of blog. I read somewhere about the idea of taking a photo a day - a photo of something I did, someone I saw, food I ate, places I went, ect., and I thought it would be a neat way to document this year as I continue in another semester of EDGE Corps, and go on a mission trip this summer! I hope you enjoy the journey! Archives
