Looking and Seeing

Today is a bit of a down day. I am mostly spending it at home doing homework. I did get to pick out new glasses though this morning which means I'll be looking snazzy and seeing better soon! I can't wait, I ordered some Rx sunglasses since I delivery drive so much! I cannot wait to get them. I have a ridiculous amount of homework for it being the beginning of week 2 so I don't have much to say for now other than how busy I am/will be. Despite this busy, homework-filled schedule I sure think I will enjoy this term. It's looking like it will be full of learning, growing and changing. I'll leave you with one of my favorite little quotes that reminds me of my love. 

 

“I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand & the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that.”

What a Break!

So I kind of failed in the first month of having this blog by not posting for like three weeks. BUT I am back and determined to keep up on it :)

Let me fill you in on the rest of March and get you all caught up to today in April. I was in an art making frenzy during the middle of March completing my class portfolios. Drawing, printing, carving, etc. Then I was writing a couple papers and trying to get everything done early so that during finals week I would actually be starting my break. So I turned in everything the Friday before and then went to Corvallis to pick up Mr. Clarkin, who finished his finals Monday. We then spent two entire glorious weeks in each other's company and I was obviously too busy enjoying time with him to write on here. Oops...

Spring break was amazing! We played with our pets, made delicious food, visited friends, and even took a three day beach trip to Brookings. The weather gods favored us and it was warm and sunny for one whole day. We spent it hiking the Oregon Coast Trail and playing on the beaches with the pups. It was perfect. I have TONS of photos! Most fun I have had in a long time and it was great being away on our own with nature.

Well my first day of class is tomorrow, oh boy! So I'll leave you with some photos from the break while I enjoy my last night of freedom with two of the most lovely ladies on the planet.
