I can't believe I haven't posted in almost 2 weeks.

That's lame. I'm going to have to do better at this. Main reasons: frustration with work, busy-ness at work, and travel.

I went home to East Texas this weekend. A Lobo football game. and I love the house I grew up in. And if my sentences don't make sense...i don't care.






In other news, I'm trying desperately to figure out who I am going to vote for in the presidential election. I'm just not sure this year. I don't really like the fake-ness of either candidate. I also don't think they can live up to all of their promises. I just want people to be honest with me.

It took about 15 minutes...

...to get to work this morning. Geoffrey and I commuted on our bikes. It was glorious.

Gallons of gas: zero
My old roommate Morgan surprised me with a new shirt yesterday (kelly green with a white bike on it...), and I guess it inspired me to go ahead and try it one day. I'll be doing this again. But not tomorrow, I have to use my car during work...

I love letterpress.

If there is one thing that I'd like to learn how to do or be able to use in one of my own print jobs sometime, it is letterpress. I hate that I could not afford this for my own wedding invitations, but maybe someday...before it's too late. You should watch this video.

I keep finding blogs to subscribe to. This is addicting. And wonderful.

If you are an American Express Cardmember...

Go vote on this porject here. It's pretty cool.

Rainbows

"And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." Gen. 9:12-16





These top 2 were taken on our way home to Longview from Waco right before our wedding (June 25...wedding was June 28). It was a rainy drive, but definitely a beautiful one, too. I took pictures most of the way...I'm pretty sure Geoffrey was VERY ready to get there.



I love rainbows. No lie. Geoffrey and I saw one last night as we left Walmart. I had to get a new battery yesterday. Anyways, I always try to get a good shot of a rainbow...sometimes I only have my cell phone camera with me, though. I don't think you can really capture how pretty they are on a camera either.

I like these photos.

A note from Geoffrey's Uncle Bill and Adrienne's painting in the background. I think they look cool.



And one with our wood floors in the background.

pretty fun weekend. and it looks like next weekend might be too.

My parents came to visit and we went to Lake Whitney. It was a lot of fun. We jumped off some cliffs and went swimming a little.

We also had our friend Amanda over for breakfast yesterday, and that was some good catching up. And I took a nap in the afternoon.

Geoffrey and I also invented a new game. It doesn't have a name, but this is what you do: turn your IPOD to shuffle. You get 3 chances to guess the next song. The first 2 are the bands that you know you have a lot of songs from on your IPOD. The last one is a band that you don't have a lot of on your IPOD. The first 2 bands would give you one point if one of those bands is the next to be played. The last would give you 2 points. There are some exceptions though. My third band was DC Talk--Jesus Freak. Its worth 5 points. Geoffrey won with the Beatles on Sunday night.

p.s. i think we are going to see the new show going up at AMOA this weekend.
