A little Renaissance never hurt anyone.

Apparently, Norman has an annual Renaissance fair. Aaron and I checked it out today. While it doesn't hold a candle to Conway's Toad Suck Daze, I was thoroughly amused. These pictures say it all:

Studying Saturdays

I hate studying on Saturdays. Read my lips: hate. That is why I am not studying, but currently distracting myself on the blog. I suppose it's a good Saturday to study though. There's a storm a-brewin', so no reason to be outside playing. Regardless, I still do not want to study. When tomorrow and Monday roll around and I am swamped with homework, super stressed out, and not knowing how I'll survive the next four days, I'll look back and think, "I should have studied on Saturday."

But hindsight is always 20/20.

Houston hours.

Mom, Dad and I went down to Galveston for a few hours today. We walked along the beach and on a nice little nature walk through the state park. It was refreshing. Also included are some pics from St Paddy's day in the hotel.

Dad update.

I'm in Houston for my spring break visiting my parents. My dad is down here trying to get into some treatment for his cancer at M.D. Anderson. This area of the city is just jam-packed with hospitals. And it is very nice down here, so I am so glad they have the opportunity to try treatment at this hospital.

I just want to ask everyone to keep my Dad and family in your prayers. There are so many unknowns, and it is proving quite stressful and disconcerting for everyone. Please pray for guidance as they choose which treatment path to take.

I have been a practical watershed the past few days. An "a capella" group started singing in the lobby downstairs and it made me cry. Silly. But this place they are staying is so nice because it is connected to the hospital and has so many resources. I think my mom and I are going to take a swim in their salt-water pool to relax this evening! Dad's worn out from the day, so he's been asleep for a while.

Anyway, that's a quick update. It's just been a while since we've sought everyone's prayers, and I figured there's no time like the present to ask everyone to seek the Lord's healing for us.

Thank you and love you all!

It's been too long.

Hello long lost blog-o-sphere. It's been too long.

I'm sorry for the extended absence on the blog. Per usual, life has taken over and gone about a million miles per hour. All I know is that I should definitely be working on my Appellate Brief right now, but all I can think about is how excited I am to go home tomorrow and see Mom, Dad, Mary, Adam, Kat and Austin! Aaron's coming too! Bear will even be there.

I just love my family. Someone asked me in an interview the other day for a sort of philosophical, out-of-body description of myself. I'm sure most people don't get so intense in interviews, but with what we've gone through in the past few years, it's hard not to be honest to an uncomfortable degree. I answered something along the lines of "There's nothing in my life more important than my family. Nothing." Probably not so eloquently, but it was along those lines.

I went to the next office of lawyers and they wanted to know if the first guy asked me what type of tree I would be if I could. Apparently my ethereal out-of-body question was usually one of a light-hearted line-up. Poor guy. Didn't know what he was getting himself into. However, if you're curious, I would like to be a Willow tree... they're beautiful and always by water.

School has been interesting and busy. Just have to remind myself to take it one day at a time. Highlight of the last few weeks: Elton John and Billy Joel concert with my mom! It was SUCH a good time. I spent the week before it mumbling "We didn't start the fire," and the week after it humming "Candle in the wind."

Big news on the best friend front: Kate and Wes are going to have a baby! It's crazy, they're planning on naming him/her Eli/Elizabeth Walker. Can you believe that?? Hahah, just kidding. But a girl can always hope.

Ok, I need to get back to work. Who am I kidding, I'm going to bed. Good night!
