on a lighter note ♪

we've hung our christmas lights in the apartment. i LOVE it!

the December issue of Blueprint magazine has the most beautiful cocktail dresses. it makes me want to throw swanky holiday parties with eggnog and heure d'ivoires and nice music in the background. you know?

it snowed last Thursday. hallelujah! it was so beautiful, although it didn't stick around long. i pray there is much more to come.

the last home football game was today. i enjoyed it so much, and i loved the giant Yosef, and my toes froze. i am proud to be a mountaineer, with all of our rifle-shooting and black-and-gold-ness. we ate the best pizza afterwards (Capones, you have my heart), and hung the lights, and listened to sufjan's Christmas albums. not much will make me any happier, i assure you!



i'm in a reading and writing kick, this week. reading C.S. Lewis on a whim, and rhyme and verse are flowing out of me a lot more than usual. i put together a little poetry blog, with nice pictures and things that if nothing else, make me smile and think, "Lord, You are good". i am happy when things are quiet, and i find it in me to turn off the noise and pick up a book, or sit and make something beautiful out of simple words.

also, i can't stop listening to imogen heap's "just for now".

two days of school, 3 papers, and 3 hours of work until i'm home for Thanksgiving.

apple pie!
