more than words

28.2.12

the rest of the challenge.

this past week was a complete write-off, in the sense that we did nothing and yet felt like we had no time for much. even blogging. so, it looks like i have a lot of catching up to do.

the challenge.

feb photo#17 - time.
this is what i most often use to tell time. my phone.

feb photo #18 - drink.
this photo is a bit old, but it's from a very special date
that i had with my biggest little man.

feb photo #19 - something you hate to do.
it's about the mess, not the boy. i absolutely hate cleaning up his mess after every meal.

feb photo#20 - handwriting.
this was the first hand-written thing i could find.
a note from a friend.

feb photo #21 - a fave photo of you.
this one might seem weird, but i love it.

feb photo #22 - where you work.
seeing as how i'm a sahm, i spend a lot of time
working in my kitchen. sometimes
with one or both of the kids 'helping'.

feb photo #23 - your shoes.
these are the shoes i've been wearing most often lately.
they're more comfortable than they look.

feb photo #24 - inside your bathroom cabinet.
since ours is actually an enormous
closet, i thought i'd show what i have on the counter.
seriously awesome stuff. i can hook you up.

feb photo #25 - green.
i got this fig tree for free. it's over 7 feet tall.
i had to stand on a chair to take this and
it still didn't all fit in the photo.

feb photo #26 - night.
a blurry glimpse at the night of our formal.
turned out pretty nice, if i do say so myself.

feb photo #27 - something you ate.
i made chicken oscar.
it was yummy.

feb photo #28 - money.
this is a jar by our back door.
don't bother breaking in for it.
it's mostly pennies.

aaaand... for tomorrow:

feb photo#29 - something you're listening to.
josh garrels. obviously i can't take credit for this photo.
i seriously can't get enough of this guy.
you should check him out.

feb photo #16 - something new

alright, so this is the best i could come up with for something new. it's a new photo of tim and i. not a new pose, though. this is a fairly typical pose for us.

also, i'm wearing a new dress in the photo, but obviously you can't tell that.

this was taken last saturday at the seminary formal dinner that we threw. it went swimmingly and we had fun. it was thrilling to be in charge of it all and have so much positive feedback. makes a person feel good.

feb photo #15 - phone

this is not my phone. i mean, it is the phone i have, but it's not mine personally. unfortunately, my camera battery is dead, and i can't take a picture of my phone with the camera in my phone. unless i stand in front of a mirror. and that's lame. so i got a pic of it off the web.

anyway. i love my phone. that is all i have to say about it for now.

feb photo #14 - heart

i'm not going to show a picture of a heart, but rather what's on my heart. my dad.

today is the fifth anniversary of my his passing. he fought with brain cancer for seventeen months, and this is what i remember about his last day: i remember rushing to the hospital early in the morning. i remember wearing some ridiculous red fleece pants (that i loved) and a pink shirt - pyjamas, really, but i figured it was valentine's day and people might think i was just dressed for the occasion. i remember listening to his breathing and holding my own breath every time his slowed down. i remember watching the last gasp as his soul left us and went to be with Jesus. i remember crying, loudly. i remember feeling like it wasn't real. i remember praying that God would heal him, even still. and i remember him being wheeled out of the room in a black bag.

i remember the rest of the day feeling like a blur, and my mom encouraging tim and i to go ahead with our dinner arrangements. i remember that having dinner out at the keg feeling just so wrong.

valentine's day will never be the same for any of us that were in that room that day. but we take comfort in knowing that he is with the Greatest Valentine of all and that he is fully restored. and we will see him again.

and that is what is in my heart today.

feb photo #13 - blue

blue. i love blue.

my eyes are blue. my glasses are blue. i wear a lot of blue.

this picture shows my most-favouritist comfy blue hoodie, freshly clean and ready to be worn yet again.

one reason i love this hoodie is because it's the exact colour of my glasses. another reason is because it fits like no other hoodie i've ever had (other than the identical one that i own in pink!) - it's actually flattering and not frumpy.

and it's blue. i love blue.

...after typing 'blue' that many times, i'm beginning to think it's a funny-looking word.

feb photo #12 - inside your closet

i really have no idea why anyone would want to see inside my closet - it's less than exciting - but here it is. the bottom half is mine, obviously. and by obviously i mean that i don't wear a whole lot of plaid and my husband doesn't wear a whole lot of skirts :)
