A good friend of mine back from my community college days got married last weekend (that is why I went home in the first place). It was so fun seeing familiar faces and catching up with old friends from way back when.

May project: a touching video
May 26, 2013
It’s day 26 in the blog every day in May challenge. Today the prompt is: Something you read online. Leave a link and discuss, if you’d like.
I’m choosing instead to share a link to a video I just wanted. A lot of you have probably already heard of Zach Sobiech but in case you have not here is a video about him and what he chose to do with the short life he was given. It’s quite sad I should warn you but also uplifting in a way.
May project: my big, beautiful eyes
May 25, 2013
It’s day 25 of the blog every day in May challenge. Today the prompt is: Something someone told you about yourself that you’ll never forget (good or bad).
This is another one I’ve been thinking about for a while. I don’t know that I have a specific someone in mind but when I was little kids at school used to tease me for having a big forehead and large eyes. Well you know kids can be mean and that’s pretty normal. It’s not like I’ve been carrying around this weight for years but in a way it sticks with you.
Through the years though as I’ve become more comfortable with who I am and my personality I’ve come to look at my physical self more confidently too. Sure my forehead might be larger than some but I like to think it’s artistically accurate. When you first learn to draw a face in art class they tell you the eyes are right in the middle. Also I absolutely adore my big, beautiful, blue eyes. There aren’t any makeup tricks needed here! So take that little elementary kids!
