Catching Up - NW Ministry Conference
Taking a little breather after listening to a comedian for a session - I wish you could see how our faces hurt from laughing.

Catching Up - Snow[boarding]
I apologize for how long it's been since I posted a photoblog update. Here are some highlights from March, starting with the Night Church snow retreat.

More Re-Reading
I found my last name in a beautiful book I'm rereading! "The Chosen" by Chaim Potok Fawcett Books p169

More Design Drooling
Second only to bathtubs comes my great love of fireplaces. I'm not even sure I can say that - I really love fireplaces. I love them both. Together, I would be in heaven!
Anyway, apartmenttherapy has an incredible fireplace (in an incredible house!) for us today. Incredible. Love it so much. Look at it and drool.

On Reading and Books
Josh and I tend to read quite a bit.
I had started to feel like all we do is watch tv, but then when I sat and really thought about it, I think we've both read at least an average amount of books (for us), if not more, this year. I wish I kept some sort of running list, but that seems to be too much work.
And while I haven't been to the library in a while, I haven't been neglecting my literary side: I've taken to REreading. And I rather like it!
Cohabitating with another reader has meant a large increase in not only my library, but also my literary influences and range. Josh and I do lean toward a lot of the same books, but we have also have other tastes, so I've spent a lot of reading time in the last year on books that I probably would never have found or read on my own.
Then recently I branched out in a direction Josh will never go (vampire teen fiction - need I be more specific?). That added about oh... 2000 odd pages to my yearly reading. Then, to combat the quality (or lackthere of) of that genre, I read a few notable authors I hadn't tried yet, and then started in on the rereading.
Last week I reread "My Name is Asher Lev" (one of my favorites) and loved it all over again.
This week I reread "Out of the Silent Planet" and started on "Perelandra". It's been a while, but it never ceases to amaze me how much I can forget of a book.
Rereading is exciting. I recommend it.

and THIS
On the design note...
I have this intense love affair with showers and bath tubs (not mine). When I find a fabulous one, or just a really different one, I drool - my heart rate goes up. European deck showers bring me such joy to even just look at, even a 1x2 inch picture in a magazine. Also, I love the idea of copper in the bathroom: sinks, tubs... today apartmenttherapy came through to brighten my day with some sick soaking tubs. Seriosly, I look at them and Long to hop in one.
Did you see the copper one? Copper.Clawfoot.Soaker. Dream tub.

Design
Seriously, I spend so much time on design websites and looking at design magazines. I just love it. I don't really know why just looking at design is so enjoyable. Occationally I think of how much I would like to be actually designing or creating, rather than just absorbing, but for the time being (with my small, rented space and my office job) I just absorb and absorb and absorb - hopefully then one day I'll just squeeze it all out and surround myself with fabulous design.
Here's the design find of the day: it's pretty awesome. I can't actually decide if I love it or hate it - thanks, apartmenttherapy for always having something interesting to feed me.
