Spring has sprung



Spring aaahhh smells soooo good. Theoretically. I'm on a bus coming from Ohio heading back to Chicago. It smells like chips and chocolate. The movie Bright Star is on, and its hot in here. Everything outside looks midtone, but beautiful. Its really cloudy and there are large burnt beige fields bordered by sparse woods. Anyways, today is the last day on choir tour, which tastes bittersweet.


Over the next week I will attempt to blog about some highlights about my trip. Quick summary:

40 ladies. 17 concerts. 15 days. 16 host homes. 16 beds. 16 showers
. 58 hrs on the road. 15 plus sandwiches. 5206 miles. 6 states. 1 bus.

A psychodelic trip anyone?

Yes please. I'm can't wait to watch Tim Burton's new Alice in Wonderland! I've always been captivated with childlike imagination and film. Its going to be awesome to watch something that's both aesthetically stimulating but also has a good story. Apparently Lewis Carroll did not write it with any sort of meaning in mind: "I'm very much afraid I didn't mean anything but nonsense. Still, you know, words mean more than we mean to express when we use them; so a whole book ought to mean a great deal more than the writer means. So, whatever good meanings are in the book, I'm glad to accept as the meaning of the book." Well I guess that's good to know.

Oh boy



Spring break is here. I'm not even sure if its spring yet. Nevertheless, I'm ready to push forward and anticipate 2 weeks of choir tour! We're going to georgia (at least I think), the carolinas, and around there. I'm planning on taking photo journal of all the homes I stay in so that hopefully would be delightfully interesting.

I love this dress.

Shout



Shout to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music. Psalm 98:4

I'm obsessed

Yesterday I found Lost Things and I was hooked. Hooked to stop motion film. If you are as intrigued as I am Her Morning Elegance is classic and comepletely fantastic.

What are you?


First born?

Middle child?

Last born?

I've been recently talking to other people about how birth order influences personality, and some are true while others not so much. They say if you know the theory well, you can tell what birth order a person is according to their personality. I'm not sure if that's true, but its worth a ponder!

One of the best



This one is prob in my top 5 fav pics out of the bunch from the conservatory trip. I love how the shadows are contrasting to the white, and also how you can almost see every speck of pollen.
