give me a chance to shine and ill blind the world...

brittany anderson has been my best hang out friend this semester and i think i would be lost without her. i tried to capture how much joy she has for life in these pictures of her. i bet youll smile just looking at them.



these are at the overpass on sunset and kansas i love this over pass cause i think that it is kinda romantic, well as romantic as an over pass can be.









shes cute even when she is just walking



specially in the snow



jeremy says this is a senior portrait shot. i think its pretty nice though



ok so here are the best shots of the day atleast in my opinion.

5. brittany in front of founders park. i like the bars and i like her smile she almost fell.


4. i cut her head off on purpose so dont worry its just how i decided to crop the picture.


3. she was pretty cold cause it was 17 degrees outside and i asked her to wear a skirt. then i made her sit on some cold concrete. she made teh sacrafice though and i sure am glad she did.


2. speaking of sitting on teh cold concrete! how nice a peek over the shoulder.


1. seriously is she sweedish? maybe there is a can of hot cocoa that needs a cover girl a cute sweedish cover girl!


i started the roll when i was shooting some pictures of danielle so here theose are.

rock me momma like a wagon wheel...

old crow medicine show might be one of the best albums you have or have not heard! i highly recomend them. they are a folk act, if you wondered what music was like in the 40's amd 50's this would be it. it is not bluegrass though bluegrass was born out of traditional folk so you might think it sounds a little blue grassy.

i started readin searching for God knows what, which was an amazing gift from my sister for my birthday, it is pretty good so far. it is much more personal than blue like jazz and it has mostly been about our view of God and how that also effects the way that we live our lives. it has been mostly about how we were made to be relational as an explenation of why we look for validation in any and every thing.

i suppose that the reason this hit me so hard this morning is that probably my biggest struggle in life has been feeling like what i really need is a relationship. the advice that i have recieved was that i should just be patient or nor think about it or realize that God is enough. as don miller works through genesis there is something he points out that adresses this dilema in my life. the only person who has ever had a perfect relationship with God was lonely. adam was lonely according to scripture. so what did God do... he paraded the animals in front of adam and required him to name them. after this realizeng that he couldnt speak with the animals swing through the trees with the monkeys, swim with the fish God let him fall asleep as he pondered this and he made him someone to take away that loneliness. this says a lot about who we were created to be and what we were created to do. so i would like you to know that the worries i have had that i am not a good christian because i did not find wholeness in christ and i long for a relationship has been relieved. there is balance though and i know that i will not find completion in a relationship but its nice to know that these longings are who christ created me to be.

and when the sun goes down you know where ill be found dancing out in the streets...

when i look into my deepest wounds i see your glory and it dazzles me...

The anteater waits for the bus He's waiting for his mom

life is busy. i have been working at the tax place and apparently everyone wants to do their taxes. school is school and blah...

nikon d200 you are on my mind and soon very soon i will be with you. you and me will be freinds for life. i also dream of you power book. what a team we will be. world domination!!

had lunch today with my pastor at pappys! first of all i love love love pappys because it is the best pulled pork sandwhich in town. maybe even the best pulled pork in missouri. if you are here or you plan on being here sometime please go to pappys with me.

second pastor kevin i cant even get enough of this guy! good conversation, honesty about where we are as believers and where he is as a person/pastor/husband. i like that he is able to be conversant about things that i think about, and that i am concerned about. i am glad that he is my pastor and that he is interested in my life. thank you God for leading me to christ community i feel like i experience you there.

sorry that i dont use good grammer/punctuation/capitalization, i hope these words arent hard for you to read...
