on a sunday...

what a glorious day it has been! i woke up so amazingly joyful this morning, and it was great! after church my small group all packed ourselves up and stopped by the carytown kroger, then over to Gabe's apartment. we {as in heather and annemarie and rachel} cooked bruchetta and

sundried tomato rice. so good! and fresh and filling! i am in love with gabes house. she lives across the street from the virginia museum of fine art. and her and her roommates have done an amazing job decorating. i had a wonderful time hanging out with all my blogging buddies and drinking tea and talking about the past couple of weeks...just a wonderful afternoon!

kelly, ellory, lorraine and i played around on the stairs and took pictures! we so crazy...

and then i came home, and had a little treat! more tea, and a piece of lemon cake {thankyou jen} soon after, i drove over to the mall and got some new pants and a cute little flannel shirt! so today has just been full of little joys! and... i have good news! all of the animal shelters in the area are full! so guess who gets to stick around!?!? yep! amber dear is gonna be here for a while! :) i knew it!
