Hello, chaps and chapesses!
Yesterday, I went to the top of the world.
Well... almost. ^_^ I went to Grandfather Mountain near Linville, North Carolina. We had a really good time and were gone all day. Dad's training for a 100 mile bike ride, and we're sorta his road crew; yesterday was 75 miles, and Grandfather Mountain was the nearest-to-location-interesting-thing-to-see.
Check out the pictures!
Passing dad on the road
My lovely mother. ^_^
Hm. Somehow, I'm not convinced...
These bears were hilarious!
DONE with 75 miles!
AhHA... the mile high bridge...
Nathan clinging onto the rocks for dear life
I'll be fine... as long as I don't have a Last of the Mohicans moment. ^_^
We brought along Rushdoony to enjoy the view. He wasn't very fond of the heights, though. XD
The Thinker
"I got it!"
"'Scuse me, Dr. R., but what exactly are you trying to say?"
Yours truly... the devious duo.
We then went to a picnic sight afterwards, and stayed until around sunset.
Myself rendering a picture of a veined neck... I have a thing for them, you know. >.<
Myself, Nathan and Rebekah then went for a walk and came up with some... strange... pictures. :)
Like this one.... not sure what the story is behind THAT. 0.o
Nathan wearing my leather jacket... >.--
And that's about the end of the story... until we do 100 miles next week. ^_^
Here's a few pictures from life recently, captured by my camera...
And I haven't yet introduced you to Westley, the newest member of our feline family... he makes cat #6. :S Nathan found him a couple of days after my birthday; someone had dropped the poor little guy off. We tried finding him a home, but even the vet wouldn't take him because they already had so many up for adoption. The result: here he is. ^_^ Named after "Farm Boy" from the Princess Bride. In fact, he's sitting here watching the screen while I'm typing.
Aaand those are the lenses I bought for our photoshoot... cweeepy. ^_^
Hello, world!
It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm sorry I've been MIA for so long - too many things to do, too little time!
Time has kept ticking while I've been away, and so has my brain, thankfully. I've come up with more things to do with that poor person that'll spend the rest of his life with such an emotional odd-ball as myself. ^_^ (I hope he's patient and not easily fazed by a girl's breakdown teary reaction to dropping a glass in the kitchen floor, crying like a soul had just been lost... >.<) Yes... I have those days.
ANYWAY - I've done two other posts regarding "20 Things", so this shouldn't be much of a surprise to you. I established my thoughts in the first one, so I won't repeat them here again.
Autumn is quickly approaching. In fact, there's already leaves beginning to turn - it's really beautiful. You probably already know that Fall is my favorite time of year - absolute FAVORITE! I adore it... therefore, I want to be able to share that favorite time with my Special Someone in all sorts of ways.
1. Make homemade hot chocolate and put lots of whipped cream on top
2. Go for evening walks in the cold and wrap my arms around him
3. Listen to music together
4. Pull an all-nighter... ON THE WEEKEND. ^_^
5. Steal his hoodie and be wearing it when he comes back from work >.<
6. Dance to One Direction's Forever Young... this is my newest favorite song right now; it's SO PRETTY. T_T (I also don't know a *whole* lot about this group, so don't think I completely support them or anything;)
7. Go to the mall one day and just goof off and do silly things
8. Spend a late afternoon in a coffee shop, asking questions, getting to know each other even better. I want to marry my best friend (NOT the female best friend, haha:P), and it's hard to know someone truly unless you aren't.
9. Watch a looong movie and fall asleep on the couch
10. Take pictures of him - lots of pictures. >:)
11. Take him clothes shopping and be his stylist for the day! *grin*
12. Throw an armful of leaves at him and then run away giggling >.<
13. Take turns on a "boss" date-night - one night he gets to decide what I wear, everything from shoes to jewelry; another night I get to do the same. Either can pick themes, and the other has to stick exactly to what he or she has said. I know what theme I'M picking. >:)
14. Buy him an expensive cologne
15. Buy a box of assorted chocolates and take turns trying different ones to figure out what we like and what we don't
16. Go outside one night and talk about anything and everything and have a prayer time for each other
17. Play a furious game of hide-and-seek in the dark
18. I hope he keeps a journal, because one afternoon I want to break out the journals and go through them just for fun. It'd be nothing but hilarious embarrassment. ^_^
19. Go through old memories or funny stories, remembering the silly things we used to do
20. Make a list of each other's quirks and habits that we find endearing.
