our divine intervention

isn't it funny when things are right under your nose but you can't quite see them?

when you can almost taste it... buuuuuut you still can't figure out. 

then you finally see it! its a hip hip hooray moment!

this past week has been just like that.

yesterday, Blake was presented with some amazing opportunities that only God could bring forth. and today, we received the keys to our new apartment!

it is perfect. there probably could not be anything better for the two of us. 

it's small, but perfect. unique, but not weird. pretty much just great.

but for a long time finances have been such a trigger for problems lately. with me out of a full time job for a few months now, and Blake working so far away, it has been a cliche uphill battle. a brutal cliche. but just like a roller coaster, when you are going higher and higher and more straight up to the sky than you thought was humanly possible, those nasty feeling in the pit of your stomach comes and the thoughts of "i am going to die get me off of this. why did i say yes" start rolling through your head, then all of a sudden you hear the last click of the track..... then wee! smooth sailing and joy from then on :)

our trip out to sea is starting to get a bit calmer. definitely sunny skies and lovely breezes from here on out for this season!

thank you Lord, for your divine intervention on our lives.

dreamz.

saltines are my life these days. i just wanna feel better already.

and to make matters worse, i had a dream where i just got out of the shower and i just brushed my wet hair, and it magically blowdried itself, curled a perfect wave, and my make up was somehow done to perfection.

then i woke up to myself in the mirror. with saltine crumbs on my shirt.

sigh

april obsessions

1. saturday night live

why is it so funny? i find myself on hulu every night watching episodes. but it doesn't stop there.... the memories of kristen wiig and my favorite host, zach galifinakis, stay with me all day and i cannot help ut chuckle to myself. even if it is in the middle of church, or while i'm consoling a friend in need. 

all im saying is, snl, you make my life a little brighter.

2. neutral wedges

i am just a little bit in love with this style of shoe. just a little. lot.

3. dutch bros. coffee

OK! i am in love. dutch bros. coffee has changed my life forever and ever. the moment i brought the straw up to my mouth for the first time, it was like i didn't know who i was before. all i knew was how much of a better person i am now.

ok so maybe not, but i'm gonna go ahead and let myself think that way! dutch bros. trumps starbucks anyday. i have found myself in conversations about why i love it so much. people come up to me and ask, 'hey i've seen you around with dutch bros. is it good?'

oooohhhhhhh ho-ho. lemme tell you. 

i am the coffee connoisseur. i know what i am talking about. you won't be dissappointed.

oh the good ol' days of art.

remember these?

gel pens.

i could have drawn on black paper forever. it never lost its magic!

gimme a big ol like if you were a neon artist like myself.

his name is {Zach}

this is him.

Zacharius Knight Galifianakis.

yes i can successfully pronounce his last name, and i am intrigued by him.

he makes me laugh to the point of urination.

but you know what? i would unashamedly pee myself if it would get him to notice me.

you pretty much can't get much funnier than him

why, you ask, am I blogging about him?

because this comedic man is worthy of a blog note.

here are my top 5 out of 190984 reasons why i love him

1. he is greek like me.

2. he makes jokes about being homeschooled.

3. that beard. 

4. his midwestern accent impression is to die for.

5. he probably gives really good teddybear-like hugs.

ZACH I AM YOUR FAN FOREVER AND EVER.

here are some goodies. enjoy.

  

"i went to my high school reunion not to long ago, and it was a little weird. because i was homeschooled"

"sometimes i'll do something and i'll think to myself, 'that is so raven'. and then other times i'll do something and then i'll think, 'that was not so raven'"

Even though you might keep falling down, and when you try to stand it's not in the safest spot, Jesus still picks you up every time so you don't have to crawl.

{march obsessions}

3. crazy straws

                      2. plaid shirts
