Chris got me these flowers about 2 weeks ago for our engagement anniversary and they are still holding up. I'm pretty impressed. The roses didn't fare so well but the plainer ones are definitely thriving. These flowers must know they are special!

ecofiltro

I am in the process of writing my paper for my class...and decided to stop and start blogging. Procrastinating...

In Guatemala, my class went on a tour of a factory that makes water filters and it was pretty eye opening. It's easy to take our clean tap water for granted. In many countries, people don't have access to clean water and the bacteria and microorganisms that live in the water make the people, especially the kids, very sick. So luckily, there are organizations such as Ecofiltro that help families get access to clean water. They make these filters with clay and the little black line that runs through the middle is carbon that actually cleans the water. Any water that runs through these filters is then drinkable. It's pretty awesome. Feel free to check out the website and watch their cool videos...I don't think my description does it justice.

And you know where this is heading...if you want to donate (only $35 dollars!!!)...just click here. It will make you feel good!

full moon

No one even had to tell me there is a full moon. I could just tell since everyone is acting a bit weirder than usual...including me!

greenfest

I'm pretty sure Tampa is probably the most happening city in the world! We just had a greenfest! The cool and hip locals brought out their gardening tools and showed us how to work our green thumbs. Of course I bought some succulents and then a mini blueberry plant for my mom. Let spring begin!
