God's strength + my weakness

It has happened. I done graduated. I have more to say - much more - later: it's been a whirlwind week, full of finals and family, sickness, sunshine and volleyball, and lots of grace.
Now I'm trying to pack and clean and move - in the next 4 hours.

First week of May

- The sun shone unhindered several days in a row. The temperature was above 60. I love the slightly-swelling feeling of your skin warming, when you can almost feel the melanocytes working away and sending their little umbrellas up to the surface of your epidermis to protect you.

- That was the best reading exam I've ever had with Mr. Grieser's. And thanks to the extra credit portion, I have refreshed poetry clambering around in my head - seven poems in all that I could recite right now.

- Julie. One of the sweetest, most unpretentious, considerate friends I have. Why do people have to go SO far away?

- Lindsey's wedding invitation. Now there are 7 on my windowsill. :)

- My new green purse that I got for <3 bucks. Ain't it nice how one accessory can totally make an outfit work?
