dear diary

life works in mysterious ways. i am glad chad finally educated me on my current - and most profound - mantra: everything happens for a reason.

it really does.

seeing red

in honor of valentines day...

valentines day isn't just for couples - it's for connections of love.
family.
friends.

(and hallmark)

skylines

skylines define cities.
each building tells a story, usually from different eras, and as a whole, they narrate the most important story of all -
the people.

chicago.

vegas.

dallas.

what a cool weekend.

yasamine came over, and we snuck into the W hotel.

Then she got abducted by spherical aliens.

Luckily, I was able to take this shot of the W hotel walls before the spherical aliens stole this, too.

Then they took Fort Worth (which consists solely of cows, horses, and cowboys) and shrunk it and put it on strings for easier transport.

Saturday, I went and had a grand ol' time with the Dallas Mavericks.

dirk dedicated a free throw for me...

j.ho. ran to braums to get me cappucino chunky chocolate ice cream during halftime

(how did he know!)

and eric dampier brought the sun a little lower for me because I was cold.

thanks damp!
