normal-er

today felt something like normal.

the sun was shining, for one thing. it was was 70 degrees.

i wore a skirt and flip-flops.

i unpacked some more more things, switched the season of my wardrobe, and took some things down to the basement to await their time.

i landed a job as an assistant photographer for primavera studio. i am really pleased about this development. i like their souls. i like their business philosophy. i like their art. i know i'll grow a lot as i shoot with them this summer.

i went to two amazing neighrborhood grocery stores - willy street co-op and jennifer street market - with rachel. (to me, these places are like candy stores).

i had an iced chai, a long walk, and a lay-in-the-sun-on-the-dock-and-watch-the-ducks-and-toddlers time with chelsea at lake wingra.

i made a thai-style dinner for some of my new friends (chelsea, jake, rachel, kiersty, tim) while tim sat perched on the counter getting caught up on emails.

we all sat on the kitchen floor, drinking tea and discussing chapter 9 of Punk Monk (mercy and justice).

we sat in the living room and responded prayerfully to what the holy spirit put in our hearts from that discussion.

i had some good quality one-one-one time with tim, which obviously included googly-eyes.

i emailed my mom and siblings.

and now i will sleep.

(it will only keep getting better).
