Liebe.

my beautiful friend Katherine & her German beau Christian recently got engaged! i am so excited for them--i love my friends in love. isn't it such a wonderful thing to see?!

Congratulations Lovebirds!!

xo-
p.s. that photo is from when christian left katherine that note in her kitchen one day! adorable. absolutely adorable.

blessed.

i definitely do not like being so busy.
it bums me out that school takes so much of my time. i would much rather blog my days away--le sigh.

i have been behind on my reading of your sweet blogs & regret that a lot.
please know that i will catch up for sure.

with that i just wanted to remind you all how much you all mean to me.

i know that some of you know this already, & some of you probably think this is cliche. but at the end of the day, i just want you all to know the truth:

i love you.

you have no idea how much your comments & support make me smile. everyday my heart swells with love from knowing you.

yes, you reading this.

you, you, you, you, you.

thank you.

with love-
Anna.

kind of weekend!

my kind of math.

i do not like math. not one bit.

silly, i know. seeing as how i come from a family of math & science whizzes.
...oh, not to mention the fact that the godfather of radars is my father! (haha)
but, this awesome blogger got me stoked for "new math": how cool?!

hilarious!
now that's the kind of math i get.

because i'm a girl with glasses, too!

this adorable video made my day.

oh, i love you glasses.

oh, school.

to my lovely university:
you look absolutely dashing lately. i adore walking about in between classes & having picnics on your soft grass next to potter's lake. but, you see, when you are so beautiful, it makes it so very hard to sit in class & watch spring happening outside the windows... so, please stay this perfect for a long while, so i can appreciate you as much as you deserve when i'm not swamped in silly homework, meetings and projects.

steve the chicken.

A 5-year-old girl shields her face for a moment from a gust of wind with her favorite chicken, Steve, after running to catch him for 10 minutes on her father’s farm in Deary, Idaho.

“One time I squished a chicken so hard that an egg fell out,” she said.

all you need is Love.
