perhaps this is more of a tweet than a blog post

BUT

I really want to explain how and why I love this girl's blog (in more than 140 characters). I don't really know her. I've met her. I liked her when I met her; but I don't think we exchanged more than 5 words. She was the photographer at a wedding I was in, last May. 

I don't know what exactly it is that has me reading every word of one blog over another. I keep thinking there is some particular topic or approach that I am drawn to more than others. But I'm pretty sure that it's more my appreciation for creativity and authenticity that causes me to light up when I see a new post on certain blogs. Sure, the perception of both those things may be nothing more than opinion. So, in my opinion, this girl seems simply authentic, not to mention she is clearly a very talented photographer. 

If you're into being inspired by practical vulnerability (an area in which I think the church has dropped the ball), you should read her love story and the prequel. Just peek around her blog, she's so real and without an agenda. I absolutely admire it. And look at those kids! Are they not the sweetest things you've ever seen?! 

That is all. 

But stay tuned, I'm about to go hog-wild posting pictures and stories of 

my new niece with whom I will be spending the entirety of next week!
