...im just ready for spring and

side braids remind me of spring.

hurry up march!

borrowing Paul's words...

"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of HIS WILL through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For HE HAS RESCUED us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have REDEMPTION, the forgiveness of sins."
-Colossians 1:9-14

**these words have brought an immense amount of comfort to my life these past few days...it is hard for me to fathom that Paul knew how to perfectly and beautifully pray for the Colossians, without having ever met them... if only I could be as faithful in my prayer life with the people that I live along side daily.

...

doppelgangers!

after submitting a million photos to myheritage...

these are the four that appeared over and over.

i personally think that naomi is the winner...

thoughts? but i love gwyneth!

Texas, I will see you in two days!

I will be enjoying mexican food, my friends and my family in TWO DAYS!

Oh Texas... it is really the little things that I am missing

like driving my car and NOT wearing a massive coat, 

gloves, scarf and a million layers everytime I walk outside. 

*and despite the huge crime of fashion that UGG boots have become- 

they will be making a trip to NY on Sunday... I need them in my life.

 I tried to not need them but I do. I am also looking to bring a 

roommate back with me this weekend... any takers?
