Desktop Collage

This is a collage I made for our desktop that I thought I'd share with you. Just a few pieces of who we are. My ego centered self happens to think the Swoon graffiti in the lower right corner is an uncanny resemblance to Christian and me. Check it out:



Explanation of the chosen pics:
From the top left around: "I Dream of Bluegrass" because I'm from Ky and no matter where I go, I will always dream in blue, C and I in NYC in 2007, underneath that is Vera's paw on our wedding day, Cinque Terre where we visited in 2008 (not our photo), Milo on the couch, a local New Orleans Banksy, dropped breakfast and part of C's sh*t I see on the ground series, a local Swoon, one of the most inspiring quotes summing up why I'm a teacher**, C and me in Santa Barbara 2012, and finally a tree house because when I met C I told him I wanted to live in the trees and shortly after he introduced me to The Hostel in the Forest and made my dream come true.

**If you can't read the quote from the collage, this is what it says:
"There's no such thing as a neutral education process. Education either functions as an instrument that is used to facilitate the integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity to it, OR it becomes "the practice of freedom," the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world." ~ Paulo Freire

I get chills every time I read that :)
