weddings, music, and whoops.

I have a new obsession with photography. I have no knowledge in the art, but when someone can capture emotion in people, it really amazes me. A few minutes ago, I was wasting time, avoiding studying for A&P, and went to the Seize the Day, by Agung Fauzi, website and began to watch some slide shows from recent weddings. I clicked on the first couple's engagement pictures first. I see one picture that resembles a "whoop" pose, but I was unsure. I then watched the slide show photographs from the actual wedding. The pictures were beautiful, the bride, the flowers, it was all beautiful, and in the background of the slide show was the song 'Mighty is the Power of the Cross" by Chris Tomlin. That was the song this couple chose to capture their wedding day. I began to tear up a little as I was encouraged by these people who I had never even seen before. As I continue viewing, shiny gold rings keep appearing. Sure enough, they were Aggie Rings! And to join the rings, came pictures of the wedding guests and party lined up singing the War Hymn. I felt instantly connected to these people. They are inspiring, just based on wedding photography, their faith, and their Aggie Spirit.

Mighty is the power of the cross. WHOOP!

Convenience: the friendship killer

I am a junior in college, and at 20 years old, I feel exactly the same bit of lonesome-ness I experienced as a freshman, just entering into this world that came to be mine 2 years ago. I have found that friendships come and go, and no one ever seems to be more concerned about "you" than they are "me". I am guilty of it, but I want to be free of the selfish ambitions that make college students "independent". Sure, I enjoy the occasional me-time to breath, think, plan, talk to God, etc..., but it would be so wonderful to share all of those experiences with a woman who shared hers with me as well. Convenience is a tornado that is killing the best relationships, friendships. It's really never convenient to spend quality time with people, but it's worth it. I need to do a better job.
