2007

ok, so this was sarah's birthday 2006, but it was memorable. i ran over her with my car on evangeline thruway.


the trifecta was in full swing- all night studying for anatomy and physiology =lots of adderall, cigarettes, and not getting shit done


jake got really drunk on mardi gras


jacob started climbing trees a lot (and falling out a lot)



we picked a lot of blackberries and honeysuckle


Festival International de Louisiane was amazing (including these guys playing in this picture Balkan Beat Box)


Theresa got some ducks. She spent most of her time trying to get them out of jacob's rice plot and back into their pen. (look how tiny you were, rese!!! i'm tearing up)



jacob's rice and the ducks grew. meanwhile, snakey crept.


first double rainbow i'd ever seen. in destin. remember being really weirded out when we got to jetty east that year, b/c the surf was almost all the way up to the condo, which i had dreamed a year earlier.




BIRTHDAY(this was the start of my birthday not being completely depressing)







Natalia became part of our family!


theresa's mobile. a few of kat and doug's books.


love this one. kat, you had a nose ring. i forgot.


this is why we invest in rolls and rolls of visqueen <--who invented that word?!?!





when the cats are away, the mice will play. in this idiom the cats are lizzard and dilp and the mice are me and rese. i guess they were on a cruise or something.



more playing


she really was this excited


she had no idea this was coming

ok, i realize it looks like rese is getting pummeled with mud in all of these pics, but, i assure you, she got us back.






truce


my little man's 3rd birthday. first birthday without you, meg.


the gang gets back together! party at Natalia's. my old off-campus lunch partner. i miss you, sarah!!


so this is 2003, but i love this picture. lunch behind the jesuit's house.


the summer of the crazies- st. john street house, music, lots of drinking.



the guy in this painting hasn't talked to me since. he's still mad. it was funny.


doo rag sundays started. where have they gone?!?!?


Aurora/Denver with Brooke and her family for a party. On our way to venture down the Colorado River


on the colorado river






Rockies game



i went to meet brooke in br for a party and ended up, instead, at the casino with catherine, drinking in the bathroom and spending $300 of someone else's money.


harvest season!



papa









impromptu beach trip


we decided to decorate the UL library



i miss this a lot



shitty pic, i know. but this is one of my favorite places i found to stay in NO



i bet you a million dollars my dad's cursing






the kiddos

my last few years in pictures

i've decided that i will make a scrapbook of sorts of the last few, very amazing, years of my life. 2007 to the present. i'm not a photographer, i have no skills, but i like the fact that pictures, regardless of how crappy they are, can bring up so much nostalgia and so many memories one would have forgotten otherwise. alright here it goes...

this may become the usual friday thing

i love

the people who love me. tonight reaffirmed this.

it's like i tell my siblings: never stop questioning and looking for the answers. still, you'll never know the half of it. anything you need to know can be sought--through reading, befriending, or just a lone personal experience. keep on.




more eloquently put--
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
