What’s been happenin’

This past Saturday, Paul and I visited Gloucester, a small fishing town by Rockport. Spent the day sitting in a small coffee shop, window shopping down Main Street…in general, just unwinding from what felt like a crazy couple of months.

The local coffee shop with awesome dark roasted coffee:

Err...what?

 

The highlight of this day trip was visiting the local animal agency to look at a few abandoned puppies. Paul has been trying to persuade me that now is the right time to own a dog…and I was almost convinced when I saw her:

Watch this video of her playing with a friend. Kills me.

On our way back to Cambridge, we stopped by Michael’s because I’m semi-delusional and believe that I can paint…on canvas…and hang it up in our apartment. (Note: I have never even used acrylic paint before and bought a set of 6 to begin this crazy process) Sort of reminds me of the time I joined Berkeley’s Quilting Decal because of who knows why and later found out that I was the only one in the class who couldn’t sew while everyone had learned from their grandma since the age of six. Oh well.  

We also stopped by Ulta and I…finally….purchased…the Urban Decay Naked Palette! This palette has been impossible to find, being sold out in all the stores I’ve visited for the past few months. Twelve beautiful, incredibly pigmented shades that I am excited to use on friends and future brides.

My oily face and I are so excited to own this palette! Help out a gal and please let me experiment on you

And to conclude this random post, some links to blogs that I’ve really enjoyed:

• Help with Prayer – Junia posted this on her buzz and I was really blessed by it. Hope that we can also pray to be “happy enough in the grace of Jesus to avoid being proud, cold, scared, and hooked.” Read on.  
• Following Jesus: Work and Rest – I really encourage you to check out our friend Laura’s blog. I love the Ziesels and they help me love Jesus. This post has more Keller content, and I’m thankful that Laura posted it up – reminded that I am not God, I am not in control. God is. Must remember this gospel truth everyday.

The end.
