thoughts to aid in procrastination

so i'm avoiding writing a care plan/concept map for clinicals. yuck. so to get as far away as i possibly can from it, i am going to blog. first of all, i want to put a plug in for an incredible photographer. his name is mark elkins. he does crazy good work. i love his stuff. it's incredibly romantic, but most of all i think it captures the beauty of a moment in a picture, which to me is insane. he somehow captures the warmth of the moment. i don't get how he does it, but he does. here are a few shots of his work:needless to say...amazing. if you want to check out his website, here it is: www.markelkinsphotography.com

i just had to recommend him. also, a few more things i've thought about today:

• spring in georgia is insane. it snowed yesterday, and today i wore a t-shirt and jeans and i was slightly warm. ridic.
• any kind of glasses make my eyes dry if i have my contacts in: large sunglasses, lab goggles, 3-D glasses. who knew?
• i'm going to try and experiment and make a chocolate bowl one of these days. it's a super cool idea.
• closed toed shoes make my feet feel claustrophobic
• i hate labs in science. they try and make me apply what i learn. lame.
  
• i'm hypoglycemic and apparently milk has a high glycemic index. a.k.a. milk is bad for me. but i will rebel! milk is my greatest food joy, so i refuse to relinquish my milk habit
• marc broussard is pretty much amazing

here are a few things that happened this past week, and that are in the process of happening:

• i just finished up spring break
• i got to see my friend wendy's baby boy. he is beautiful and has incredible eyes.
  
• i got to hang out with my buddy mitchell who i haven't chilled with in like 2 years.
  
• i'm in the process of getting a new car
• i'm plannin on going to summer beach project again this summer, which is a change from my original plans of being a lifeguard. i'm super excited!
• i went to a missions conference in augusta, ga and it was actually pretty eye-opening in ways that i wasn't expecting. so summary? awesome.
• i paired up with my friend hannah and i'm going to be hall aunt for her freshman hall next year, so i'm psyched about that. opportunity to share the gospel! plus, kate is going to be my ministry partner, which makes this even more awesome.
  
• rebekah and i are in the process of looking for a new, cheaper apartment for next year
• i played football with my dad, lindsey, and caleb and i scored 4 touchdowns!
  
• i played 2 way fun games with my dad: (1) a card game called baseball and (2) a game where one person asks a question like, "why were high heels created?" and another person answers a bogus answer like, "well, men used to have to stand int he back of crowds so that the women could see, but not all men are tall enough to see what's going on, so high heels were actually originally functional men's shoes."
• i got to watch band of brothers and a part of the new Planet Earth series called "Life". both are amazing.
  
• i applied for bcm leadership and am still prayerfully considering it all.

also, a few weeks ago i got to do a photo shoot for rebekah and james so i'm going to post a few of those pics along with haley and james' engagement pics from a few years ago:

i'm no mark elkins, but i still love doing photo shoots for people, so if you ever want someone to do pictures, let me know! i would love to do it for free while i'm building my portfolio.
