This is sort of a response to Nick's comment that we need more pictures on our blog and sort of because I was starting to think the blog was getting a bit boring.

So I was gazing around the place I call home a while back and thought I would scan and put up some random things I had lying around. So now you can see what I see.

These are all of the things that I had crammed into the edges of my full-length bedroom mirror.


This first picture is of me. It was taken the summer right before my senior year. My sister took it in our backyard. The hair was a result of my trying to go from the pitch black that my hair was dyed for most of my high school years to it's natural blonde. After several tries at bleaching the black out I was advised to give up and dye it something in the middle and try again after my hair had a month or two to heal. Just so you all don't think I'm incredibly vain... Mike put this one up in the mirror.


Next up is the front and back of a small laminated card of the Virgin Mary that my best friend, Jenny, gave me. She's my favorite catholic. I'm pretty sure this was a birthday gift. Anyway... it makes me think of Jenny and her incredible loving spirit.


My mom gave me this "lucky 2$ bill". I don't remember when exactly, but I've had it for a very long time. It reminds me that my mom wants me to be safe.


The last one is one of the first things I bought when Mike and I got to L.A. While I was waiting for him to finnish an interview for an internship in Santa Monica, I wandered into this really cool bookstore down the block. They had tons of great spiritual books and Buddha's and Tibetan Prayer Flags and all kinds of neat stuff... I fell in love. I bought this sticker for me, one that says "begin within" for Chuck and one that says "Mass media breeds ignorance" for Mike. This sticker reminds me to keep fighting the fight.
