{things i love} thursday july 30th
is it a beautiful thursday where you are?? here are some of the things brightening my day...
my Flickr faves i'm calling it: "there is a soft, blurry line between life, love and magic"
this morning in my usual read-through of all my favorite blogs i stumbled across this piece of writing that just took my breath away...and felt i needed to share:
"following the dimly lit path to the winding staircase was terrifying, i thought you would see me.
the morning air was thick with moisture and the grass was dew covered. the cashmere shawl was not merely enough to keep me warm.
the dark blanket of blu-ish gray laid still and hush over the still small city while i could peer and see a few fireplaces burning. i hurried, i took my shoes off so i would not make any noise.
by the long clear pond of water i spotted you, sitting, waiting. the terrible beating of my heart was so loud i thought you could hear it.... your smile was relaxed as the morning sun began to rise over the lower hills.
i hastily said goodbye to what i knew. there was not one ounce of who i was left. i was changed. but i jumped in, full feet & full heart. there could be nothing else.
my heart stopped beating, i was home."

i'm a scrappingscarf*girl
so i've decided that i am now a "scarf*girl." i have a few that i just love, got a couple new ones last weekend, and my friend mathea gave me the one in the picture. i'm loving them. i want to have something thats just me, you know?? so scarves it is!!
i've also been doing some scrapping just for me. feels good to create pages with pictures that mean something to me, or about a topic that i needed to write about. these pages are precious to me right now. thanks for looking.
so chris and i are heading to a movie tonight. getting a pizza to go with it. i LOVE our theater!! :D then tomorrow we're heading to wenatchee for the rest of the weekend. its nice to have some time to spend together and visit friends and family. i hope you all have a terrific weekend!!
and i hope this makes you smile, like it did me!!!
over the weekend my cousin hannah did my hair for me. i'm a blondie again!! and sooo loving it. chris says you can see the different colors better if its straight, so that's how i've been wearing it lately. (and look how long it is!!) now it feels like summer is finally here!! :D thanks hannah! this thursday i'm {lovin'} these things:
having my wedding band back from the jewlers. it cracked and they had to replace it. i went 3 weeks without it. it feels better back on my hand. :)
knowing we're going out for karaoke tonight!! oh yeah.
looking forward to another weekend in wenatchee with friends and family. hoping to do some photo shoots. (stay tuned!!)
deepening friendships... *sigh*
having chris around again. his presence calms my soul
my job, and the freeness it gives me to pursue other things as well
