Oh wait. I know. That is part of a Christmas song, but I really and truly feel that way about THIS time of the year. And as much as I love Christmas, once autumn comes, I know that Christmas will be waiting right around the corner. If I ever get married, it is definitely going to be in the fall. (I don't have too many things that I HAVE to have for my wedding, but that is one that I will be very insistent upon). Anyhow... the point of this post? I went and played in the park today, taking lots of pictures in the process. And I am posting those here for your enjoyment. The colors in Spokane this fall are exquisite and it makes me so happy! Everything is so bright and vibrant. I'm not sure if this is typical, seeing as how this is my first fall here... but I am rejoicing in the beauty of it all nevertheless!
One of the girls that I know through a Bible study at ICN is engaged. She was going to have her other friend do the engagement pictures, but they HAD to be done this weekend and the schedules were just not working. So somehow I got volunteered to do it. It was actually a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it. NOTHING like working at JC Penny Portrait Studio back in the day. I didn't have stupid company policy telling me what poses were and were not appropriate and docking me points on my photography because I didn't have the happy couple oohing and aahhing over a fake flower. Anyhow, enough of that. I'm glad to have moved on ;). I don't have any pictures of them to post, but maybe I can get some of them in the future. We went to the same park where I took these pictures, and I think that we got some really good ones. I'm excited. I have found my calling if I ever end up flunking out of nursing school...hehehe, just kidding!
As for my life... I'm hanging in there. I just finished my first round of nursing midterms and I am happy to be done with them. As one of my friends pointed out, we are now 1/8 of the way done with nursing school! I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing... =). I have met so many wonderful people and I am really grateful for the wonderful friendships that I already have. It's hard to believe that I have only been here 2 months when I stop and think about how well I know people already and how much they mean to me. I am attending two Bible studies, one through ICN and one done by my friend from ICN which have both been wonderful and challenging at the same time. I am attending a new church tomorrow with one of my friends, and that excites me! One of these days I imagine that I should post about my classes and my clinical experiences and what not, but not now. I really do apologize that I haven't blogged in 2 months. But I thought nobody read it but my mom, and I talk to her on the phone so she already knows all of this stuff! Needless to say, I finally did get internet in my apartment after driving to a sketchy looking part of town to track down the UPS warehouse and my modem. But it has been working like a charm ever since. Anyway, I should go be productive (which at this point in time may merely consist of reading The Golden Compass as I have been doing homework all day). I promise to not be so long in posting in the future!

So I think you and I were the longest in our last post, but being in August. But I'm glad to see and hear that you are surviving up in Spokane.
You're pictures are BEAUTIFUL! I've been doing the church bulliten here on Sundays and use one main picture on the inside. Ok I'm doing a horrible job of explaining this, but my main question is this, would it be ok with you if I used one of your pictures next Sunday? I'll save a copy for you and give it to you when you're down here. I used one of Mandy's today. And during Special Meetings, I used one of Zach's from Crater Lake.
Where on earth am I going with this?? I am so done here, sorry for the long "comment".....
I love your pictures! I've been meaning to bring my camera with me to SOU one of these days so I can take some pictures of the beautiful campus.
And I'm glad to be hearing from you on here. We all thought you had given up on us! I'm doing pretty good this month...3 posts so far!
So I really like your photos, especially the one with the tree and your shadow . . . very cool. I think I might try and take advantage of the beautiful weather as well since I'm out in Ashland and take a few photos myself.
Man, I soooo want to post the few pictures I've gotten this year, but my USB cable is still not in my hands. Your pictures are great!
I'm glad to hear that you're alive and well in Spokane. Have you found a church that you like in a steady way yet? I think that not many people read my blog anymore, too, or I'm a lot less funny than I was in college.
Have you read the His Dark Materials series before? The Gold Compass was okay, but I thought the other books were waaaaay more interesting. Heretical, yes, but definitely a good read.
