"to make you feel my love"

more errand running today. i tag along with audrey because i just like going places. we were planning to go to liverpool today but, blast this retched rain!!! seriously, always water coming from the sky. & i hear you are enjoying sun. i forgot how endlessly vexing rain can be. i don't really want to spend my limited time here cooped up in the house because in leaving the house i risk drowning, but what can you do? i'll tell you. nothing! usually, the rain doesn't get to me so much, but knowing that i could be doing something significantly more spectacular is making me CAH-RAZY!

nothing says rainy day like a cup o' tea & my favourite granny sweater.
{full disclosure, tea really isn't good, but i enjoy drinking for some reason...}

today, while audrey was doing her practical shopping, i did my own practical shopping. i bought another pair of jeans from the same store as before. they're purple. purple is a fun colour. yep. purple jeans. that store will be the death of me. their collection of brown footwear is beautiful. has anyone noticed that the shoes i always wear are all brown? i had to remind myself that i don't actually NEED multiple pairs of brown oxfords. {who am i kidding?} then the black ones caught my eye... there's always next time.

in other news, i went on a spider killing spree last night. final body count: five.
julia: 5 - spiders: 1 {i have to give them some credit. i yelped & squealed every time they moved}

audrey asked me what foods i've been missing. peanut butter was on the top of the list. & cheese & crackers. & spicy chicken from snohomish teriyaki & a turkey pesto sandwich from grilla bites were on the list. but they don't sell those at grocery stores... i could really go for some froyo as well. 

yesterday, i bought adele's cover of the song 'make you feel my love'. {yet another good crying song} it's really, really beautiful. i could sit here alone, singing this song, crying over the pain of unrequited love, but instead i let God remind me of how much He loves me. He would, & did, do anything to make me feel His love. there really is no end to God's love for me. most amazing thing ever. of course, i still cried. {seriously, if tear ducts were muscles, i'd be ripped} but it wasn't so much of a sad cry this time.

one last thing, audrey is literally the biggest blessing of my life right now. she insists that i don't help clean up after dinner or wash dishes or anything else because she just wants to take care of me & let me relax before i go to school. :) i still try, of course. i've done dishes here & there & i keep my room clean. my biggest fear is burdening people but she is such a sweet & caring person. i think she actually enjoys having me around. she gets upset when my imminent departure for school becomes the topic of conversation. it's definitely good to know that i'm not a bother or a burden to her. how did i get so darn lucky? 

the end.
