These are from Emma Katka Photography. 
Her photos are simply beautiful!
Whenever I'm editing photos and taking pictures i definitely have her photography in mind. Its crazy how amazing they are. I could seriously sit here and post picture after picture after picture. They are breathtaking.
I've talked to Emma and she is such a sweet girl. She has a passion for telling people that they are beautiful, and although i don't agree with her on a few things, i think her heart is in the right place. She loves Jesus, and is using her God-given gift for His glory.  Which, of course, makes it all the awesome-r. :)
 Anyways, just thought i would share a few of these pictures with you... there's just something about them that inspires me.
I've been doing some editing myself and will post some...later...
*que long, drawn out, i'm-too-busy-to-do-anything sigh* 


Also, I've been completely addicted to Beau and Reagan's music...check it out here!!! They have really good voices, and they go to my church...i find that very cool. :)

5 more things:
1: I got new snow pants. It makes me very happy, considering the fact that the past two winters i have been wearing Cole's old snowmobiling pants. So not cute. :P But now its all good. 
2: I just had a pathetic conversation on Facebook chat with my brother. He's sitting across the room from me. Like i said, pathetic. I love him anyways.
3: I watched the movie God Grew Tired of Us last night. Amazing documentary on the lost boys of Sudan. They follow three Sudanese men as they come to America to start a new life...It was so cool to be able to watch them learn how to live in such a drastically different culture. 
It really reminded me of Yonas coming to America.
For example, the first time we took him into Target, he was in AWE of all of the stuff. Stuff, stuff, stuff. We have a lot of stuff.
God Grew Tired of Us brought a whole new perspective to me on our culture...one of the young men was completely surprised when he stopped at a random house to ask for directions, and they called the police on him. What has this country come to? Its a conspiracy. *ends rant*

4: Listen to this song, i can't get it out of my head. 

5: It was -29 degrees outside, with windchill, this morning. That. is. COLD.


Speaking of cold, i have this sudden urge to get cozy. I'm going to go break out the sleepy time tea, sweatshirt, blanket, and a good movie with the quieter half of my family. ;)

I just realized that this is the most relaxing Friday night i have had in a while. Epic-ness.

Have an awesome, God-glorifying weekend!! 

In Christ alone,
