requiem for a winter.

bye bye big reds.


after two months, three countries, and a myriad of close calls, my fantastic big red sunglasses have been laid to rest.


(i think two months is the longest i've ever gone without destroying a pair. one could fairly accuse me of being inept at caring for sunglasses, among hosts of other things.)

in other news, i feel so renewed today. it has to be the weather (and Jesus, but that goes without saying. i've been asking him for this for many days now. refreshment, rejuvenation, release...) 66 degrees, and it's already 8pm. i feel like this is the warmest air minnesota has breathed in at least 5 or 6 months. i hope this glad weather reawakens my creativity (and discipline) (and joy) (and my whole spectrum of emotion), which has (have) been hibernating for a few weeks (spring and easter breaks were no help, i'm sure).

i bought the most beautiful long summer dress yesterday. i'm excited to share a dress closet with kat and rach. i want an old armoire filled with dresses. i think tomorrow will be the first dress day without tights in a very long time. i'm tired of tights. and i wish i could trade in all my boots for keds or toms or strappy sandals.


spring. makes me want to listen to feist and sufjan and nickel creek.


He is faithful.
