beautiful moments.

lately, my blog has been kind of heavy. and that's because a lot of what i'm experiencing lately is heavy. but my life has also been full of really beautiful moments lately, as always. and i'd like to share some of them with you.

.:taking a bike ride with one of my roommates down by rock creek park last weekend in the late afternoon sun and laying under a beautiful red tree in the leaves and talking about life.

.:seeing the stars and venus and the beautiful moon on my 6:30 am walk to work, and being in awe.

.:going trick-er-treating with my little cousins last night and hearing one of them giggle uncontrollably and say loudly, "happy halloween, everybody!"

.:carving a pumpkin with my roommates on monday night and listening to "thriller" and all the villain songs from random disney movies. and dancing. :-)

.:getting and bragging to everyone about a manicure yesterday in honor of halloween from one of the j-house loves and coming away with beautiful orange nails with black stripes to celebrate the day. just to celebrate life, really, too.

.:sitting on the couch late last night with one of my housemates and just talking and listening about our jobs and kids and death and life.

.:getting in bed with one of my loves at joseph's house during my saturday shift last weekend and snuggling while we "watched" some of "psycho" and had pillow talk.

.:seeing the sunset this morning, all pink and streaky and gorgeous (finding beauty even in 7 AM shifts!).


.:my life is full of beauty and love. i am so blessed:.
