Double Whammy

This picture brings the last few days full circle. One word: adorable.

Communcation

When did the cell phone transform itself from a simple communication device to an all purpose tool that now functions like an extra appendage rather than an optional piece of technology? Computers are tricky beasts in that way. Sometimes I both love and hate technology. Smart phones makes so many things easier that they can be hard to resist. Where should I draw the line against technological takeover? I can't remember the last time I left the house without my phone. Is there a place that we should hold in reserve, where technology does not belong?

Happy Birthday

Today is a special day. For those of you who don't know, today is Britt's birthday!!!! She's a pretty special lady and deserves every delicious bite of that pear tart. Happy birthday, darling!

Portrait

This is my friend Britt. You may remember her from this post. She's pretty amazing. Pretty and amazing, both at the same time. Right now she's off in Utah doing silly things.

She's actually doing important things. I'm just bitter that Utah stole her away from me.

Stupid Utah.

Kebabistan

Epic eating experience in Turkey, thanks to Britt.

Fall – with a chance of showers

It is about that time of year when the air starts to change from the stickiness of summer to the first bite of fall. The leaves start to turn colors and flutter down to make a carpet of golden flakes. It's the best time of year to go walking, because you hear that reassuring crunch, crunch, crunch every time you take a step. Making piles out of the leaves is even more fun! To me this picture epitomizes everything that I love about fall.

This is one of my all time favorite pictures from my first year at Grinnell.

Furniture

Wrapping up furniture entirely in bubble wrap takes more energy than you would think. We definitely deserved some sweet tea and contemplative thoughts after that adventure. What say you?
