shelter

Psalm 121

I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.

Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is your keeper;
The LORD is your shade at your right hand.

The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.

The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.

a wishlist

some goodies that i'd love to own!
















Public A7 City Bike


















Bialetti Stovetop Espresso Maker .. i'm all about the americanos lately. yummm.

























Annie Hall movie poster






















Through Painted Deserts by Donald Miller .. couldn't find it at any library - if any of you friends own this and wanna loan it to me, that'd be awesome






















Oriental Creations Cushion Cover






















BDG Weekender Bag

not pictured:
- a job .. then perhaps some of these things would be more attainable heh. and for more practical reasons, of course
- roadtrip to chicago with my pals in june to see our friend and iron & wine and paint the town red. i hope this will happen (again, a job would help)!
- endless supply of iced coffee
- summer .. yeeeeeeeees so close!
- the motivation to get to summer .. aaaah so far away!

right now this moment i am only dreaming
of burdens lifted by the arrival of sunny summertime, leap at the chance to drive into the dusty foreverness. with the sun to warm my shoulders and endless playlists of good sounds!
i can only dream at this point, sitting in my dorm room, lit by twinkle lights, waiting for the cold to pass by. i've embraced it for so long but now i wanna say farewell. goodbye. for a good long while.
summer squash and iced tea and banjo pluckin' and porch sittin' and fresh fruit and walking and biking and the breeze and simplicity and late night and cricket noises and dancing and getting out of town and swimsuit and rosy cheeked happy stuff.

laugh until we think we'll die, barefoot on a summer night

all you want's one more saturday
















the weather the weather! it is so great. i feel like i've been cooped up in cocoons of layers since around november, but this next week is supposed to be in the 50's every day and i am so so so ready for that. the sun is a great friend who will help me not freeze on the way to class. yeeeeee!
i got this new lil dress from stella because i had a groupon. woo. it has a twang of country to it (maybe i was inspired by the decemberists' "the king is dead"? been listening to that an awful lot). it's loose and swingy and cute and i love it.
another recent purchase that i'm excited about is a ticket to fleet foxes for may! AAAH! planning to drive the grand old state of texas after school's out (oh the thought of such a glorious day) to hang out with my sister and see robin pecknold and the fellas put on a show. oh my, oh my.
geeeez i need a job; i am excellent at spending my moneys on things like this. until i get up the courage to apply to places i shall just babysit some cute kiddos.
i leave you with this image of me in my new dress doin' the creep. (if you wanna make friends at the atm, i totally recommend this dance move)
