Finally, the Pictures!!

Hey Gang,

Due to technical difficulties, I've been unable to upload photos for the updates. Consequently, I'm looking into purchasing a Macbook Pro. Thoughts? So there's that, but what's more is that I have pictures of our weekend on the streets in Austin! Enjoy the snapshots, and let me know if anything or any one peaks you're interest. I'm happy to expound on the captions.

Kristen instantly had my heart. As a child, she was prescribed three different types of bi-polar medicines. She wants to go to culinary school someday and become a chef. Kristen was my street friend crush of the weekend.



My sleeping neighbors drowning the noise and look and scent of Guadelupe from the cold, cement ground of the University United Methodist Church of Austin.

 I woke up the next morning to people wanting to talk. At 5 A.M. While it's 30 degrees outside. I reasoned with them and did the worm in my mummy sleeping bag. I think they got the point.



Tarra and Riley, they actually let you guys around the food? : )



I'd be on Lloyd's team any day. He lives in a box on top of a church and manages this place like it were a five-star hotel. Yep, I'd be on Lloyd's team any day.

This picture kind of reminds me of how I feel about the whole thing. I like it.



This is someone's home.





This made me laugh SO hard. We had walked around the city about eight miles and given up our search for lunch. We were astonished when a guy pulled up with his kids, opened up the back of his Suburban and explained to us that he just had way too many barbecue sandwiches and potato chips left after his tailgating party.
LOOK AT THE HUGE BITES IN THEIR MOUTHS!





My friend "High-Class Homeless" told me this butterfly was the angel that brought us the sandwiches.



So sweet in all their UT garb. Hook 'em.



Chasing the sun to stay warm.

Judge Ko.

Prosecutor Rick Cofer. That's Mr. Prosecutor to you.



Scott the person. Steve the dog. A handsome pair.



Ellen & Theresa



Rick: "Can I ask you a question? How is your hair so great?"
H.C.H: chokes on his cigarette "I'm high-class homeless!!"
Rick: "No, seriously. Do you condition?" 



Another amazing Rick and Melissa moment- seriously, they look like an eccentric old couple fresh out of a tiff.



Andy. So sweet.



Memorial dedicated to the Austin homeless that have lost their lives while being on the street.



We were told a few moments after this that we looked pretty convincing from afar



Oh, the "short-cut." Right.



I had no idea this was even here. What a beautiful and fateful scene. We came across a cry against the injustices of homelessness while on our way to worship with those living on the streets of Austin.





Scorpio (middle) wouldn't let me take his picture until this shot.



This was the next and only other picture he wanted to take. Hmm...



Peanut and Reptile





She treats that dog better than people treat her most days. Also, it sucks her thumb, which I find strange, but okay.



Reptile- truly a vibrant and insightful man.



Theresa again. So, so beautiful! I must have told her that ten times throughout the weekend.



Alan. My two favorite things about him are that he's not perfect and that he greats his friends as "brother" or "sister."



Thanks for playing a part in this.

Love, love, love.
