p.s. it's rained a lot in the last week, almost to the point of a- well, you know- f l o o d. ;) in all seriousness though, we were completely untouched #benifitsofnotlivingnearariver, but a huge amount of the surrounding area was severely damaged. prayers would be so appreciated.

everything is new.

*well, this was suppose to publish two days ago but it never did.. so here you have it. I have some important things to announce later this weekend, but for now you just have to wait*











It is raining! If you have been hanging around here for a little bit you have probably picked up that I adore rain. ;) I like it better than sunshine, really. There is something about it that just calms me, maybe it's the sound, or the smell or just the fact that is seems to make everything new again. The last couple of days have been difficult not for any particular reasons but they've just been not the best. But tonight I went on a walk in the rain, and it seemed to just melt all my troubles away. I just felt made new and fresh. And I felt alive. and happy

breakfast on a rainy day










(all photos are SOOC - straight out of camera)

i woke up this morning to the pitter-patter of the rain falling outside my window. i adore rainy days. i like them better than sunny days. there is something about rain that just makes me happy. 
i just can't get enough. they are just so perfect. as i made my breakfast, the natural light in the kitchen was so delightful. so I made my breakfast into a photo shoot.

rainy days = the best natural light ever!
