let love grow

day 217

Since the last time I took pictures of Becca and Michael, I'd say I've grown a lot in photography. It was so much fun to see them again, and hopefully Becca and I can meet up one more time to take photos before I go to college. It was really funny, I was shocked when she told me her idea for this photo because I had thought of nearly the exact same idea. Funny how things like that work out, no?

There were seriously a million mosquitoes around when I took these photos. In Alaska we have this joke that mosquitoes are the state bird because they get so big and there are a ton of them. I have mosquito bites everywhere, there's even one particularly itchy one on the tip of my elbow. Gosh, I hate mosquitoes.




I'm not quite sure this ensemble is quite representative of my everyday style, but regardless, I felt really awesome wearing it. I'm not one to wear tube skirts or whatever they're called (and quite honestly no one should wear those things), but now I can see the joy in those little things. This skirt (and I didn't realize this when I purchased it online) is actually a tube skirt with a bubble skirt attached over it. It makes the skirt stay in one place on me but still gives a full, pretty skirt look.





I hope you all have a fantastic day!

to the ends of the earth

day 216









I got to spend the majority of my day with Matt, watching Doctor Who, eating a yummy dinner with his family, and then finally canoeing on the lake. He took me to "Africa," the other side of the lake given the name when he and his siblings were younger. It's so awesome to be able to explore his childhood places, and hearing stories from when he was a kid just makes me love him even more.
