Week 17 | James

So many of you know, I have names for most of the people in my life….sometimes the names don’t make sense to people or causes them confusion, but that’s okay.  I’ve probably only called James by her real name twice when I had first met her…but ever since it’s been “James.”  Why so?  Her last name is Bond  :)  I first met her in November of 2009 when I went over to Rachelle’s apartment, and James happened to be her roommate at that time!  Please disregard those pictures, as those were taken a long time ago–some of us were confused about our photos/hair  ;)  haha!  I fell in love with their colorful kitchen and had an amazing time hanging out with the girls–they had made us a delicious dinner that night as well!  James just always has this huge smile on her face every time I see her, and she brings so much joy to me!  I hope you can hear her laughs in these photos to those who know her  :)  She is just one of those free-spirited, i-love-life, hair-in-the-face gals, that make your days so much better when you see them!  My fondest memory with her was when we were giving each other foot massages (hahahhahah) and later that night with a song about how bad parking in Ballard was.  James is super fun to be around, and I’m pretty sure we just laugh all the time.  She is actually getting married next Saturday and is moving to Chicago right after!!  I wanted to be able to take her pictures for my project before she left!  We took these over along Shilshole in front of colorful walls (my favorite!!).  It was high noon, so it was a little hard to get good lighting, but I think these turned out super fun!  She is such a beautiful little lady, and I just know that God is going to bless you and Jesse’s new married life in Chicago.  SO excited for you both and will hope to visit in the near future.  Thank you, James, for being part of my life these past yearish and a half–I appreciate you so much  :)
