last thursday at work, brie came by and saw pip and dropped off home-made cookies for everyone...they were gone by the end of the day.

thank you brie :)

OMG

I like it when it rains because it makes things amazing.

Working on a painting in class...

preliminary drawing of Edan for a life sized figure painting...slightly blurry and glared...


Pip had a STELLAR show on Friday at the No Future...in which we witnessed the debut of his new project:
The Secrets of All Hearts On Earth




Saturday there was a lunch for the women at church...it was absolutely lovely. The speaker was a woman named Shirley Peters, and her message on Grace was very timely. Laura especially enjoyed it.

Mother and Daughters...






Saturday was also Alec's 24th birthday!! complete with a small gathering of some of his work and art center mates. David, his old roommate, was there of course:

Sarah made a super duper coffee and chocolate 3-layer cake...







and Dancing. there was some rad dancing...that's Alec's other friend Dave on the right...

Pip was there too, he's just not in any of these photos.


ooohkay back to work...

semester: over. sleep: not.

End of finals! That means...Saturday night dance dance!
Edan Red and Phill letting loose





Edan just recently got the video game Rock Band, so the four of us played it. they were happy because now there was a fourth person (me) to sing so they could focus on guitar, bass and drums.
Here are our characters we got to create. Apparently, we are in our "space cowboy" stage. which explains the costumes. maybe.

from the left...Edan, me, Phill and Red (greatest character ever)

the real life band photo

more people continued to arrive...


and the fever spread.


Next day...Chipotle after church...

beautiful afternoon


mom made Christmas cookies


Fast-forward to last night!
a trip to the happiest (and wettest) place on earth...
i met Edan, Phill and Beau at Disneyland...and it almost immediately began to pour...which was great, considering we stood in line outside for the Finding Nemo ride for about 45 minutes. and i accidentally splashed them with my wellies. if you don't know what those are, that sentence probably sounded really funny.




Beau, Phil and Edan looking cool. and not just chromatically.

SPACE MOUNTAIN


that is all

it's strange being out of school...but i'm still extremely busy, as i'm finally doing all of the things i was neglecting because of homework. and as of today all my friends from school are off to their respective corners of the continent; so aside from working in my studio in Laguna, i'm hoping to stick around here and play some real catch-up with my lovely family and California friends.
and write.
i'm kind of working on a special project right now...
and i'm hoping i'm not getting sick...i've been kind of running hard on empty for the last few weeks and i'm starting to feel it.

but if i do get sick that just means more time to write.

One more very important thing: please please pray for Sarah. i don't care if she gets mad that i say this...but she's been strangely sick for a long time and isn't getting better. i hope the Lord tells us what is going on soon...because i'm worried. thanks everyone...
