new year...

i would have to say i had one of my best new years ever this year. it started off on sunday afternoon with a trip to the garfield park conservatory with friends and family. i then headed out for a night of bowling and fun with trisha, alison, and meagan.

this is me and my cousin colin.

here colin and i enter the cactus house. colin is a bit tired and would like to take a rest.

little did he know he sat on a cactus!!!!!

ahhhhhhhh!!!!

this is a sculpture in the gardens. i just think it is beautiful. the tenderness and kindness expressed is amazing to me. hm...
it instills inspiration and longing.

here are the girls.

oh what form?!?!?!?
