of all the fish in the sea, you would be the greatest catch

sunday, after church, boy and i took the ferry into the city.

it was wonderful. i love the ferry. and i love the city.

bc it was such a dreary beautiful day, we decided to have lunch out on the deck at pier 23.

we prefer pier 23 for like a nighttime, somewhere fun to have a drink kind of experience.

but the sunshine and the bay were nice. and so was the company.

we then made our way to the crazy touristy part of the wharf.

and as we were walking we decided that the bay aquarium looked like it might be fun.

so we gave it a shot.

it was such a colorful experience.

the pink and orange guy in the bottom-left photo was my absolute favorite, boy liked the yellow guy behind dory.

don't worry: i definitely climbed onto the rocks, with all the other 6 year olds, to touch the starfish.

slimy, but worth it.

the entire day, from start to finish, was pretty much perfect. after being in class  all day  on saturday, this was such a nice way to make the most of my weekend.  ...all this talk about the weekend is getting me anxious for the one to come! 

hump day is so exciting, right? definitely my favorite in the monday through friday lull :)

ugh i'm only 23 and i already live for the weekends. frightening!

"so come on love (come on, come one, come all and go) nah nah nah nah nah nah nah, i will not let you go"
{fun.}

we're weird.

question:

did any of you see paper heart?

delicious.

these two people are maybe the most ridiculously awkward people alive,

and they fall in love.

and it works.

i have some quirks.

i am becoming increasingly aware of them.

sometimes they frustrate the crap out of me,

and i know they frustrate the crap out of those close to me :)

but it's me.

i think jane austen was a genuis. and i'm pretty sure that she, too, captured this element of love so perfectly

when mr. knightley says to emma,

"maybe it is our imperfections, which make us so perfect for one another."

so, while i can't promise perfection, i can promise me. and all i want is you. and i think that this could work. just saying.

happy tuesday everyone.

xoxo

ps. i hope that this post was not too "esoteric" for you. i guess i'm guilty of that. i also hope that i used the term "esoteric" appropriately here. 

another ps. this guy at peets thinks he's keanu reeves. gag.

i don't have a title for this.

inspiration

"i don't know what the success will be--but if the missionaries of charity have brought joy to one unhappy home--made one innocent child from the street keep pure for Jesus--one dying person die in peace with God--don't you think, your grace, it would be worth while offering everything--for just that one--because that one would bring great joy to the Heart of Jesus."

love like a sunset

okay i've found a little inspiration these past few days...

it has come in many different forms, so i'm thinking that i will take the week to catch you up.

two thursdays ago, i got off work and realized that it would be a beautiful evening to try and catch the sunset.

so stella and i twisted around hilly, turny highway 1, and made it just in time for this delicious treat...

i was having one of those really lovely extreme girl moments...

so i turned my music up SUPER loud,

rolled the windows down,

and cried until there were no more tears.

by the time i got to the beach, all i could do was sit and enjoy.

it was completely perfect.

ps. i decided that i wouldn't let myself edit the photos {with the exception of a border, obviously}.

although i think that editing is usually necessary for a good shot, i really believe that there are some things that should simply remain untouched. God's sunset, on this particular day, was one such thing.

"it comes, a visible illusion, oh where it starts and ends, love like a sunset"

i'm supposed to be reading for school.

i feel uninspired.

help me. what is inspiring you today?

i think i think too much

...wednesday thoughts...

sometimes i think i have better taste in music than others. is that terrible of me??

this guy two tables over keeps calling the girl he is meeting with "sweetie." i find it disturbing.
{they're not dating or anything. she's married to someone from beliz}

...apparently i need to learn to  mind my own business :)

do you ever feel like the bigger slash crazier your hair is, the more fun and mysterious you are?
{...oh...me neither...}

i hate it when i sort my laundry, and try to prioritize the loads, but each load has something i desperately need.
{in college, i sorted my laundry by priority, but i've ruined too many white tshirts doing that}

project...we'll go with...day 3...

"baby, you remind me of a jar of glitter, 'cause when i look at you, all you do is shine"

{me. don't worry...it's gonna be an amazing song :) }

you give me something

nail polish. you. mac shimmer. gladiator sandals. you. sunshine. sunsets at the beach. ingrid. driving with the windows down. snow cones. you. family. your eyes. chicago. jorts {jean shorts}. lifelong friends. new friends. you. espresso. swinging. michael buble. you. you. you. you. you.

smiling tonight.

goodnight big world. looking forward to the morning.

{shall we dance. yes, again. crying? yes, again.}

ps. i am dating a movie star :) okay, close enough. yay for you, boy!
