So much to say...

hello dear friends.

it's been far too long.

so much has happened. so much growth, so many sweet memories made this summer and so much change brought on by a new school year. my senior year.

i have so much to share -- but for now, i will just say:
1) my summer spent in Boston was beautiful. the surroundings, the people, the experience... all so wonderful.
2) this Fall has brought on big changes. i live in a beautiful house with three beautiful girls (beautiful from the inside and out). it is a tremendous blessing to be immersed in a community of girls who are just so in love with the Lord and want nothing more but to glorify Him in all they do. what an inspiration, what a blessing.
3) our home church movement, SOMA (greek for Body, as in we are body of Christ, being the Church) has strong direction and so much in store. thank you Jesus.

i have many more stories and photos to share, just be patient with me. :)

my beautiful friend, Steph, who I met in Boston. she changed my life and my heart forever :) i miss her every day.


my wonderful campers from the Boston Ballet who taught me so much this summer and filled me with so much joy. they are all so stunning and talented and i miss them terribly.


Boston Public Library. So lovely. I love this city.


my housemates and i. i am BLESSED.

Sweet Summer Day!

I've only been away from my friends for less than 2 weeks and I already desperately miss everyone. I got to see a handful of them to celebrate Summer's birthday on Wednesday (minus little Miss Maycie, why does she have to live 6 hours away?!).

Shea is awesome and put together a surprise party for Summer. We definitely surprised her... she cried (good tears!) when we all popped out and surprised her after work. It was precious. I just love her so much and am so thankful for all the sunshine she brings to our lives!

The gang.


Summer and Shea, the sweetest couple I know.


She's excited!


Check out Justin's game-face: this is serious business.


Nothing else to do? Let's go to the park!











They have Peter Pan shadows!


Dizzy faces!


I love Summer; the person and the season.

Summer Job!

After a very long process of interviews and waiting... I am happy to say that I have a summer job as a resident life counselor for the Boston Ballet School's summer program! I will be working with male and female intensive dancers ages 10-14, and I am so excited! I will be in Boston from June 21-August 2, so that still leaves half the summer to enjoy here in Dallas.


I have to admit that my heart is still in NYC and my mind is on Boston... now I just have to get through the rest of the semester. Oh boy.
