From an old hymn

"Breathe on me, Breath of God,

Fill me with life anew, That I 

May love what Thou dost love

And do what Thou

Wouldst do.

Breathe on me, Breath of God,

Till I am wholly Thine,

Until this earthly part of me

Glows with Thy Fire divine."

Reminder

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

-2 Corinthians 5:17

More Ireland pictures...

Dublin and Belfast

We've only been here two days, and so far it's been incredibly nice outside.  We spent our first day in Dublin right after our flight exploring the city and took a three-hour free walking tour seeing Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral, and St. Stephen's Green.  Today we got into Belfast and have had a nice time just relaxing at the hostel tonight after a stressful day driving around Ireland.  Here are a few pics, including some from a photo shoot in our room tonight:

On Graduating

With everything going on, I think it just now hit me that after five long years at Washburn, I am graduating tomorrow and receiving my Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History.  What I am going to do with this degree, I have no idea so please don't ask!  :)  But at least I will actually have a specialization in something, that's pretty cool!!  

It's been a crazy week, and it will be an even crazier weekend, but so many exciting things happening!  First, my fiancé whom I haven't seen in a month will be there for my graduation, and I am picking him up at the airport tonight!!  Also, my sister and her husband are coming just for tomorrow and part of Sunday and it will be my first time seeing them since their wedding.  I am really excited to have all of my close friends and family there celebrating with me!  I am also leaving on a month long trip bound for Williamsburg, Ireland, and Miami next week, so I am also preparing for that.  Ireland looks beautiful and I'm thrilled to be seeing its beauty and traveling to Europe for the first time with Tricia!!

Despite everything going on, finishing college is a huge deal and I've spent entirely too much time writing papers, cramming for Art History tests, doing presentations and other tedious homework.  So, I'm going to enjoy the day tomorrow and soak it all in.  It's been a life-changing, wonderful yet awful, difficult, challenging, growing, and rewarding time, but I'm ready to be done with this stage of my life.  I'm no longer a college student!!!

Rain rain, go away

Come again another day...

Or not.

I love these engagement pictures...

This is from the 100 layer cake blog, and I love this photo shoot!  Just getting some ideas for Israel and I's photo shoot this weekend!  :)
