Here is a sampling of my mind's wanderings throughout my first year of teaching and first time living on my own; nothing extraordinary, just simple, short, and sweet. My friend Alli asked that I create a blog so she could follow my adventures, and I have willingly obliged.

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love. Stay in love. And it will decide everything."-Pedro Arrupe, S.J.

Candy Mountain, Charlie

It's been a while since I posted. Quite frankly, life got busy and I just didn't have inspiration. However, a recent trip to a dear friend's wedding hit the spot.

From 7.27.12
I am currently 33,000 ft above the ground on my way to Chi-town. As I stare out my window onto the setting sun, I can't help but be in awe of the view. Flying never ceases to amaze me. A blanket of clouds spreads out along the skyline. An ongoing portrait of God's majesty. I find it amusing that the clouds in the sky mimic the mountains below.
