update

when it's 5:30 in the morning and sleep has been a no-go for the past hours, why not give the blog an update?!  seemed logical to me.
so
theses past months in Spokane have been wonderful--and extremely full.
school this semester has been challenging, and up until last week I felt like I was struggling keep my head above water--Missions Conference and Thanksgiving couldn't have come at a better time!  adding to the busyness of school is my job this year, I'm the school's photographer.  though it has been a lot of work, it's a blessing to me financially and has served to be a great way for me to get out of my comfort zone.  I've met so many new people since taking this opportunity!
one of my favorite parts of this school year has been my house.  seriously, it's normal to have Andrew Bird's pandora station playing, someone cooking something delicious, candles alit, and good conversations going all at the same time.  yes. I do love where and with whom(s) I live.
I've been reading through Romans--it's outstanding and I've been pairing it with the Gospel Primer (which I highly highly recommend, here's why).
me and Elissa started watching a series called Once Upon a Time, full of beloved childhood fairytale characters and their adventures.  and now we're addicted.
sometimes I do P90X with a few housemates.  and sometimes i'm inspired to eat healthier.  but it's never long-lived, I'm sad to say, but I'm working on it.
I love my family.  and can't wait to spend the holidays with them.
and thats the gist of my past few moths.
Now I do believe that sleep may be calling my name-----finalllllllly.
