Side note: I've been horrid at blogging, despite my promises but I am not giving up!



Today is the one year anniversary of the day that Stephen and I hooked up. That's right... a year ago I was here on my second day of visiting my friends in Lexington.

I'm not one that's big on anniversaries (just ask the David-Formerly-known-as-My-Husband... which is also the symbol "5"), but it's interesting to think that my little decision to take my vacation anyway and just come out to visit Stephen and Neely anyway (a volcano ruined my trip to France/ Maile's wedding), got me here.

Life, my friends, is a weird and wonderful thing.


You know... I think the title for this blog is quite appropriate.

Life is strange. I'm living in Lexington, KY.

...
Let me say that again... I'm living in Lexington, KY.

Did you ever think this is one place I'd go?
I know, me neither.
WHY Lexington? Well, because of a)Stephen and b) it felt like the right thing to do.

This blog is open again.

I think know I like love this...

More beauty


My picture therapy from yesterday helped me a lot.
:D

The day ended well and we had a great evening seeing friends we hadn't seen in a while new to our neighborhood. We talked when we got home and made sure everything was settled, which is always lovely.

We live and we learn.
:D

I figured I'd share some other pictures I found so more could enjoy.

Truth and Beauty


... is what I need today.

I keep remembering a line from Beowulf
"Alone in a world blown clear of love
hung with icicles... "

I apparently do it to myself.

Last night I stubbornly fought with Stephen about something that I can see through my sober head today I was wrong about. I fought to win. It was stupid and pointless and really did nothing save hurt him.

Now he's hurt and it was pointless and somehow this all bleeds into our trip to Chicago in a couple of weeks.

I've always had a thing for Shiva, and I'm apparently quite good at destroying something in a few minutes with far-reaching effects.

Also, today I feel like an idiot at work because my mind is having issues grasping simple things, today my mind is a sieve.

So... I'm trying to cure this with pictures. I took a time out from work to look at places that I gather pictures that make me smile and inspire me.

That's my attempt at being positive... at least visually.
