Through a Rose-Colored Lens

The title of this post isn't really applicable; I just like the way it sounds.

Mom got a new professional quality camera! At Costco, of course. I've adopted it (although I'm not sure if Mom knows yet), but it still needs a name. Comment if you have any suggestions.

Anyways, I'm loving the camera, mostly for the close-ups and action shots :)



(I'm not about to hit my knee on the diving board, by the way.)
(P. S.-featured in this photo is my cousin, Hannah, of lets-talk-golf.blogspot com. You should check it out!)

(This is another cousin of mine, Kayleigh, of horsezrok2me.blogspot.com. Read it and give her a little encouragement! Just tell her I sent you so you don't look like some random creeper :P)

(Meir was taking this picture. When I landed, I slammed my knee on her heeled sandals and it HURT! She laughed.)

What is the moral of this post? Go home, get a cool camera, and take pictures of yourself jumping on your bed.

Bye for now :)

Hello!

Hello Everybody!

I'm Aubrey. If you are looking at this blog, you probably know me already. If not, and you have accidentally stumbled across it, you have experienced serendipity.;) I'm delighted to meet you.

Basically, I'm absolutely elated to have a blog! This is my first. I'll probably post every other day or so, until the excitement settles down and the charm of it wears away. After that, who knows. It will be an adventure.

My goal is to make everything I post here worthwhile and glorifying to God-keep me accountable! I imagine there will be quite an interesting mixture. A few updates on my life and writing, enthusiastic book reccomendations mixed with vehement anti-reccomendations, photography, art, and thoughts on things like worship, prayer, friendships, loneliness, etc.

I do so solemnly swear...

1. NOT to turn this into a "me" blog, in which I always talk about nothing but myself. This is terribly easy to do.

2. NOT to write protracted posts. None of those endless ramblings that you put down when you can't think of anything eles to say...nope! Although, just to make it easier on myself, I won't define "rambling" ;)

3. NOT to try to be funny. I usually end up embarassing myself and creating awkward moments when I do this.

Before I conclude this introduction, some of you might be wondering about the title. It's from my favorite book, C. S. Lewis's brilliant retelling of the Greek myth Cupid and Psyche. I will not allow myself to say another word about it, because you MUST read it for yourself! Suffice it to say that you will not set it down unchanged.

Please read my blog-stick with me through the early stages until I start writing things worth reading, if I ever do. And comment. It will make my day.

Until We Have Faces,
Aubrey
