life is short and the world is wide {a guest post by oriana}

For as long as I can remember, a globe has sat on top of the bookshelf at my home. I recall how my mom would take it down during our geography lessons, pointing out different locations and I would run my finger over the bumpy mountain regions, finding different countries and states. The world globe was always fascinating to me, but it never crossed my mind to wonder what those various countries were like. But now I do wonder and I want to travel. Greece, Italy, Rome, Paris, Ireland-the google images just don't satisfy my craving for travel. One day I will go to where my heart longs, taking on the form of a tourist and loving every second of it.

Hello, I'm Oriana. I take a couple pictures, write a few words, love accents, front porch swings, pianos, a good book, and solitude. One day I will travel across Europe but above all, I want to serve my Jesus with a passion and love. I also blog over at Pieces of a Real Heart. I would love for you to come join me.

just an update

well, this is going to be a super short post, but for the record I am in West Virginia right now... at my uncle and aunt's. we are going to be going home in about 10 days or so. So I will be back soon. I've missed blogging but it was nice to have a bit of a break. When I get back I have thousands of pictures to post. (but don't worry, I will not post them all at once. ;) 

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

a little bit country // and some news

I went to my friend how who lives out in the country and these are just some photos I took when she and I went on a walk.  

and I am going to go on a long trip for the month of June. I will probably be popping in now and then, but not super often. I will have some posts scheduled and some guest posters will be in call. :)

have a favorite?

an overload of cuteness

Isn't he adorable?
