Half off already reduced prices


We heard about great sales at Old Navy, so we went to check it out. I got a dress, four shirts, and a bouncy ball for $20!

Representative


I just thought it was interesting how the contents of my purse today were very reflective of who I am.

Punching waves



[Photo by Trevan again]
Today was very windy, but still very nice and sunny, so we went to the beach. Paul and I went swimming, and it was so nice. The water was the warmest it's been this year, and the waves were lots of fun.

"When we got home, we had sand in the hair,
In the eyes and the ears and everywhere;
Whenever a good nor' wester blows,
[Maria Jillian Trevan Paul] [are] found with
Sand-between-the-toes."
- A.A. Milne

Girly.


Today, Jillian came over to Parkview and dyed her hair. While she did that we ate mini ice creams.

This is lots of my time lately.


Ceramics has been eating a lot of my time lately. As you can tell, at this point I still wasn't the best at the wheel - no uniform walls for me. Also this photo isn't necessarily representative...it's the only time I've used the electric wheel.

Finally

Swim team practice started today. This is great, because it gives me five more hours every week for homework. Today I used my two hours to catch up on ministry reading.

Girly colors for girls' night


Jillian and I made funfetti cupcakes (from scratch!) for girls' night.

The African Children's Choir performed in Dimnent tonight. They were fantastic - the music was so much fun and they are such good dancers!

No more DC


Today I decided to not go to DC after all.

Good talk.


LJs/Centennial Park again, this time with Holly! We had a really encouraging talk about many things and it was very nice.

Eight guest djs.


Paul and I began our radio show today. We had many visitors, including Lizzy via Skype!

I can't stay away.


Trevan actually took this one. I went to the beach with him and Jillian. No homework was done, but it was a gorgeous day and we will soon run out of those!

Major failure followed by major success.


So today I tried to bake brownies. I failed to set a timer, whisked upstairs to take a shower (smelly smelly from camping), and completely forgot about said brownies. The burned, blackened brownies set off our fire alarm. All Parkview residents were hanging out on the lawn, campus safety came, and I had inedible brownies.

HOWEVER, later that night Jillian and I made chocolate pudding cake deliciousness and it worked perfectly! (pictured)

Hobo life


Jillian and I rode our bikes to the Bowl, made a tent out of tarps, and spent the night.

Coffee and conversation (and bubbles!) with Amelia.


Amelia and I went out for coffee and then went for a walk. It was very lovely.

Basement


Today I was reading downstairs in the basement and I accidentally fell asleep. I woke up at 2 a.m. hugging my book and then just stayed down there.

Hit Marcus while Marcus is in Morocco.


First Hit Marcus of the year! I have improved immensely since the first time I played. I hit Paul off a serve 3 times.

No hands!

- That fountain is still ugly.

Padded spandex shorts


Jillian and I rode our bikes to the beach! It was a lovely day filled with yard sales, ihomes in bike baskets, jumping off the pier, and Thai food. To save our butts, we wore these cute/flattering bike shorts!

Loooong train.


After Tuesday Night Worship we went to Steak 'n Shake. Almost to Poll/Paul Cottage, we got stuck behind the longest train ever.
