Purple Potatoe Eater:

As if I needed another reason to be in complete awe of Him, I discovered that He makes purple potatoes. It's like a dream. Too good to be real. How INCREDIBLY AWESOME is our God?


Can I even begin to express the joy of preparing/cooking/eating PURPLE potatoes? My dashingly, adorable sister, Kara, and I ventured out to cook Purple Potatoes for our very first time today. A smashing success!


Here they are peeled:


And boiled. They kinda turned a blueish-gray color.

"And what do you think will be waiting for us at the bottom, eh?" said Drinian.

"Asland's country perhaps," said the Mouse, his eyes shining. "Or perhaps there isn't any bottom. Perhaps it goes down for ever and ever. But whatever it is, won't it be worth anything just to have looked for one moment beyond the edge of the world?" -C.S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Like every year on Thanksgiving, we took another picture.
Here we are 2010...



And let me just say, we all look miiiighty fiiine for not organizing/coordinating our clothing prior to showing up and snapping this photo. You got it. We're just THAT good.
What can I say?

me? not smiling?

I never thought I would like a picture of myself not smiling. It just seems wrong. Not to mention I look like a man when I don't smile. It's bad, internet. It's real bad. However, my sister, Laura, took a few snapshots of me yesterday just to document life but mostly to have a new photo for my website because heaven knows I need a new one.

Here's one of my faves:

she's legit. she's in the newspaper.

I got a text today from my Kara...

"I'm in today's paper. :D"

She and her Sullivan East HS volleyball teammates whipped Unicoi HS into some serious shape last night. It was their first game of the season. I couldn't be more proud.

After the game she hugged me and said, "Thanks SOOOO much for being here." Little does she know I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Annnnnd here's a shot from my session tonight:

sisters

Our personalities are similar,
we kinda look alike,
we're the same height,
and we're pretty fun people.

Suuuuuuuuuuper proud of this girl. Made the varsity volleyball team at her school for her upcoming Sophomore year. She's basically the best volleyball player, EVER. If you ask me. ;)



Love you, Karabear.
