Things I Learned...

... This weekend.
  1. I actually like high school football. The high school where I lead Young Life at is undefeated and in the state playoffs. And I really find it exciting. Minus sitting out in the freezing cold, it's fun to watch the kids I know and love, be excited and proud of their peers and their community. I'm honored that I get to play a small part in that and participate in their excitement. 
  2. No matter how many puppies I see, they're always exciting. On Sunday my parents got the cutest little next puppy named Alfie. I'm in love. He's a havanese. Don't worry, I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures to come.
  3. Lake Michigan is gorgeous. On Saturday my dad and I drove up to western Michigan to celebrate my grandma's birthday and to be with family. My grandparents live in a small town with one stop sign (not even a light, just a stop sign!) right on Lake Michigan. I think that God has blessed us abundantly by painting beautiful skies for us but there is something different about a fall sky over water. 
  4. The book Perks of Being a Wallflower is just as good the second time around. I read the book going into my freshman year of college and loved it. I'm in a book club with some friends and we chose it again. There are so many different things that stuck out to me but I loved it all the same... "Charlie, we accept the love we think we deserve." Gosh, gets me every time.
  5. As I was following the Kansas Jayhawk football score on twitter this weekend and was yet again said to see a loss. I had a moment realizing that the Kansas Jayhawks play their first regular season game on Friday. Watch out southeast missouri state. I'll be wearing my game day flannel Friday.

Where The Streets Have No Name




Skirt: Nordstrom. Top: Ella Moss (old.) Shoes: Nine West.
Bracelets: Gift. Earrings: Francesca's. Ring: Lia Sophia.
The title of this post is shockingly incorrect seeing as I'm standing in the middle of my street. But as I stood there this afternoon the U2 song "Where The Streets Have No Name" came to my mind.

At Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, KS, the home of the Kansas Jayhawk basketball team, that song was played during the intro video for my beloved Jayhawks when I was in college there (you can find it here. It's worth 46 seconds of your life. I promise.) 

Today it is hard to hear that song and not think of newspaper bits flying in the air, and a sea of crimson & blue. I think left part of my heart there. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
