That's my butt.....
Stolen Camera
I thought I'd post these for your entertainment, seeing as how you took these pictures/videos :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Celebrate the birth of our SAVIOR, what a beautiful time of year!
LOVE YOU ALL, enjoy your families and your homes and loved ones.
Hi Hil,
I am so sorry to hear that!I will definitely be praying as well- for him and his family, and also for you and your friends to be a great support system for him.
I think it's awesome that you're asking for prayer (if that doesn't sound too weird) because I believe prayer is a very powerful thing.
I will pray for strength and peace- especially at this time of the year.
I love you.

Hey Hil,
I am so sorry to hear about your friend. Sometimes life can be so cruel -- thankfully God is good and just, even when we can't understand why or how something so awful could happen. I don't know if your friend is a believer or not, but either way I just pray that he would be able to see God clearer than he ever has in his life right now, and that he might experience greater peace in his life that is far beyond his understanding.
I will absolutely include your friend in my prayers -- I can't imagine what he and his family is going through right now. How hard it must be for his family to watch him at such a young age go through something so life-changing.
Love,
Joy
Hey all,
When I was in high school, and early on in college, I was involved in a weekly camp helping to work on the work crew in the middle school camp, and participating in the high school camp. During work crew, we got to become a very close group, and we'd get together throughout the year for a variety of church and non-church related things. All that being said, I just found out today, that one of my old friends who was having trouble this summer with some inability to use his arm, was just diagnosed yesterday with ALS (Lou Gherig's disease). I did not want to put this on facebook, and please don't comment there, because it is very new, and a private matter. I just want to ask you all to be praying for him and his family. It is incurable and apparently it is progressing pretty rapidly. He is in a wheelchair, which, if you know him is crazy because was one of the most active and in shape people I'd met. Also, he's having a little bit of trouble talking sometimes, and I think a little bit of eating trouble sometimes, too. This is just one of the most shocking things I could imagine. When one of my friends called to tell me, we just lost it. He is one of the kindest, funniest, most talented, all around best guys that I have ever met. He has dedicated so much of himself to the Lord. I would just love it if you could be praying for him and his family and for his close friends. It is such a shock, and it's not a situation where I would be able to text it, so I thought I'd leave it here. Please please please pray for him and his family.
Love you all,
hil
Ok so apparently I wrote a whole post and forgot to send it....awesome.
Yes! the swine flu has officially left my body, they say once the fevers are gone for a good 24 hrs you are no longer contagious. Well my fever decided to stay on for about 5 days so thus I was quarantined to my room...sometimes I snuck downstairs and watched some movies in the basement--my mom and brother already had their mild cases and it looks like pop somehow has avoided it for the 3rd time, so I didn't feel too bad leaving the sick cave. I have been "better" for about a week, still coughing up lungs and ribs and a kidney maybe. Also I can't hear out of my left ear because the newest development is an ear infection. No worries though after 4 days of calling for a sick appt at the drs. they prescribed me some drugs AND my health insurance officially works! Huzzah. I should be better in no time floating on a diseaseless cloud!
Also I loved the colors joy and I'm way copying you.
Another development as of late....drum roll please......
I signed my first lease for an apartment! I am living with 3 guys (two of whom graduated from Messiah--go figure! and the main contact dude is someone from my youth group waaaay back) Its in Fairmount, the address is 850 N. 19th st for those googlemap stalkers among you! I am SO excited to have you girls over for a little tour and warming get-together! It was a bit spontaneous but everything seems to be falling into place with it so I think God has it under control! I'll probably be looking for a 2nd pt time job if this sucker that I'm working at now can't give me what I need long-term but that's fine I hear there are a few places near where I will be living that might have some spots :)
I hope that you are all doing well and looking forward to enjoying the season with brightness and merriment! I know I am! I keep wearing that red coat with the brass buttons hoping to exude cheer and christmas with every step. I'm the corniest most enthusiastic bug in the city but I really love it!
Breedom--I hope finals have gone so so well so far YAY you're done on FRIDAY!! you're so close to the end of your first semester of gradschool how do you feel??? 3 more to go sister (right?) awwwesome!
HilREE--I miss you dearly dearest dear friend and I think your wonderful and I love reading your bloggings because you are great! Also those pieces that you pulled...excellent! I agree about the apron, totally would wear it as a dress if it had a back on it!
Joyousfulness-- Well I've survived the swine flu but I have to say, it woulda been a lot easier with your pharmaceutical expertise! I can't wait to see you again, I hope its soooon because I agree with your comments about booking it together, we should get on that!
Mostly I love you all and even one week is too long without seeing your beautiful faces and since its been much longer than that, its been much too long! I was thinking maybe we could get together and do like a Pride and Prejudice marathon or another Jane Austin with delicious crumpets and tea or cakes and coffee as the case may be. Just a thought for a future date with some of the most fabulous women in my life! Is there a time in January that works for anyone? I can clear my schedule (except the 15th, I'm sorta obligated to be at the apt on moving day haha)
Have a lovely hump day!

Why are the Kardashians famous?
Why are they famous? The Kim, Kourtney, and Kloe... and in case anyone else did not notice that their names happen to be abbreviated to 3 K's in a row... what else in history was abbreviated to 3 K's in a row?
Judgemental Joy stopping... now.
Hilarieeeee: I enjoyed those CLOTHES, and those website.. Ruche? Never heard of it = new obsession. I just spent the last 20 minutes perusing (sp?) on that site looking at things I can't have. How's Hallmark? Are you bringing Christmas Joy to people in the store (no pun intended..) I love that commercial where the hallmark truck delivers "joy" "peace" and "wonder" ahh it's just the cutest and I think of you everytime I see it.
Brianananananana (okay, that's enough...): How's SCHOOL? Are you certified to crack my back yet? Not that certification matters, because I'm pretty sure even if you became a dentist, I'd still ask you to crack my back. When are finals? I am praying for you woman!
One who has been infected: Oh dear sweet girl.. are you better yet? I hope your parents are taking as good of care of you as I would if I was there with my self-imposed pharmacy. I am sad you have contracted the swine flu :( but good news, that means you are immune to it now! ::cheers:: you can't get it twice (you can get regular flu twice, but not swine flu, I asked the doc :)
Ladies as a whole: I cannot wait to start another book with you all. I love reading knowing you're all reading the same thing, it makes me feel closer to you!
On another note -- I got highlights.. yup. Amanda, don't worry, I got them PROFESSIONALLY done this time 0:) They aren't that noticeable to be honest, they are caramel color and very blended, which I asked for. (Actually I pointed to pictures of Jennifer Garners and Eva Longorias hair and said "I want that") Gotta love visual aids, they are the best. And apparently my stylist is a visual learner, yay for her... and yay for me too!
Final update: I put a Christmas tree up in my apartment.... and now I kinda feel like Charlie Brown. It's about 4 feet tall and a little scraggely (sp?) but it's got lots of love.
Well that's all beautiful women on Pennsylvania. I hope this post finds you happy and enjoying the holiday season thus far. <333
The people on the View get paid to do what everyone else in the world manages to do around their own work schedules
I found this stuff. I like this stuff. I wanted to share. I miss show and tell. I don't claim to be fashionable. I know what I like. Sometimes. Love you all!
Apron-Anthropologie ... let me just say this.... ahhhhhh. I SO enjoy this. I wish there was a dress made out of these materials and this color combo. (I looked, there isn't one.)
