MM #6

Well, there is certainly noise, trouble, and hard work goin on 'round these parts, so 

here's to the hope that peace joins the brigade! Cheers!

Alright, confession time-- I was gonna do a whole thing with the usual I'm-busy-but-trying-to-make-it-work spiel (which I may or may not have just spelled "schpeal"). Then I decided to go against the grain and offer some silly commentary to even sillier Cross Country photos [from my last NCAA race that took place last week]. Running pics never work for me. Or when they do, only my leg shows up in the picture. Great.  And THEN, I realized that the words "copyright protected" actually apply to me, so out the window that plan went.

So now I'm back to boring ole nothins. Today wasn't much of a Mindful Monday, anyway, since my brain was totally spent on a Genetics-test-gone-awry. Oh well. Here's a video Zack had me watch the other day. I love this guy's late night talk show interviews.

Dum Dum Girls

not entirely sure what this song means, but i love it. [i also won't vouch for the video, nor these girls' outfits...]

Challenge: Can you make a list of your top 10 favorite songs of all time? I tried once. I decided to stop when I reached 37.

current tally of engaged friends/siblings/cousins/etc:  9.

yikes. i think double-digits will just push it over the edge. slow down, people!

: )

pumpcakes and a pacman pie!

yummm...
 good thing Sabrina and I ate the pumpkin pancakes before the cookie monster did!

nothin like a little mid-morning bake sesh!

Thanks for the inspiration, Christina and Katie! Happy Thursday, y'all!

mindful monday #5 / a week in pictures

This past week was a great one, full of great news and excitement, family, cross country, and more. It has made me incredibly thankful for everything God has blessed me with, and incredibly happy for the life I've been given.

So here's my week in pictures, minus a few, since it's technically not mindful monday anymore and I want/need to go to bed-- maybe I'll add more later this week : )

engaged!

last race ever...

go Hatters! (and no, I'm not bald, it's a headband)

 (okay, so that's a way shorter compilation than I even expected, but it turns out some pics I was planning on posting haven't been uploaded yet. woops. In any case, thanks for looking.)

Happy Halloween!
