thoughts & a new necklace.

My Mom is so thoughtful. For no reason at all she bought me a necklace with a camera on it. how sweet is that?! 

I'm not a mamas girl by any means, but in September, when I move away (to go to school), I'm going to really miss the little, considerate things my Mom does for me. No one is going to buy me makeup remover pads when I run out.. no one is going to bring me home fashion and gossip magazines.. no one is going to rip out funny articles and put them on my desk. As much as I'm ready to "leave the nest," I can't help but start mourning the loss of the little, cute things my mom does for me around the house. 

Thank  goodness my roommate was raised in Louisiana.. I'm thinkin she'll be full of hospitality!

Yesterday my friend Elise Muetterties told me she saw one of my photographs, was inspired and drew it. Elise told me she looks at my photographs for inspiration--honestly, thats one of the nicest comments I've ever received. Its an honor and kind of mind-bloggling but I'll take it! Check out the photograph Mike and I took with a tripod and see the drawing that Elise did:
