{heaven on earth}

Today my friend Sarah, and I ventured out to the Melrose Trading Post.  It was absolutely wonderful.  It's basically this HUGE flea market full of hidden treasures: antiques, trendy clothes, lovely jewelry.  You name it, they've got it.  Hundreds of vendors pack into Fairfax High School and set up shop.  Sarah and I spent a few hours just walking around and looking at everything.  This might be my favorite place I've seen in L.A. so far.  I LOVE it.

pretty dresser?  yes please.

"...the Christian child's book" hmmmm.

old cameras.

a sweet accordion 

pretty little sundresses

a restful, relaxing, rejuvenating day.  much needed.

"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."  
Isaiah 40:30-31

Tid bits

Just some tid bits of my life here in Azusa.

Our fourth floor lobby has an incredible view of the baseball field.  So, last Saturday I  did homework for a few hours while watching a game!  

On Tuesdays I have Dgroup with a few of my lovely residents.  

The weather was crummy, so we had an indoor picnic   :)

Nicole surprised us with cookies!

My "sandwich salad."  Since I can't have the bread on a sandwich, I just order it in salad form: lettuce, pickles, cucumber, turkey, olives, pepperoncinis, mustard, oil and vinegar, salt and pepper.

Halloween cooooooookieeeeeeees (said with a Cookie Monster accent).

Katie and I are on duty together and she had a particularly juicy pear...

It was rather humorous.

THIS is my masterpiece rainstick that I made in art class.  I never thought I was artistic until I took this class and I actually enjoy art.  

Isn't it pretty?!  Fall colors are the best  :)

Anyway, I'll post more pictures later.  My goal right now is to take more pictures so I can really look back on this season of life and remember fun things that happen.  Right now, I am sitting on my futon with the window open listening to Dave Barnes and Jars of Clay do a free concert on The Lawn.  I love APU.

real worship?

I saw this video on facebook and it was such an incredible reminder for me.  

Warning: this video may be REALLY convicting  :)  

A Saturday in pictures

 It was 90 degrees today.

Love this shot :) 

 Right after their second goal of the game!

#14 is my resident!!!  Go Ally!!! 

There she is again! 

This evening will consist of laundry and a movie  :)  Oh, the life of a college student on a Saturday night. 

I walked into my room and this little treat was waiting for me from Natalie, one of the RAs on my staff. 

Abbs is playing the guitar, a lovely sound. 

Abbie and I put up Christmas lights last night  :)  I love Christmas.
