this weekend marked the beginning of brandon getting his normal life back.  i got to see a lot of people.  i got a lot of hugs.  i remembered how much i enjoy being in the presence of friends. 

slowly but surely, healing is taking place.  grace is being given.  God reveals Himself to me somehow day after day, and i cannot be more thankful for the peace He gives during struggles, for the lessons He teaches, through the way He is constantly and perfectly revealed. 

in other news, i decided that any artist that decides to use sped-up voices (like the chipmunks) as background vocals should be put in jail for being ridiculous.

here are some pictures i took the last couple days.  
i have a new love for going on walks.

i found a new secret place close to my house that i never knew existed.


i love it a lot.


there was a reeeeally cool sunset…but that cloud decided to take it away.  and then my battery died.  and then i cried.  and then i wrote a song about it.  just kidding about the song.  and the crying.


these ducks thought i was giving them food.  then i took their picture.  i think that duck on the right is cussing at me.


this looks like something i would try to paint.


yes, i know it’s upside-down.  i like it better that way.


haha my parents.


the giving tree(s).


the end.
