I've been quiet lately. Life has been busy and has thrown me for a bit of a loop. I'm moving tomorrow, and I have no idea where the time went or how this huge change in my life can be upon me already. I am ecstatic to be moving, but my soul is also crying out to stay where it's at. I've never...
The first time I visited London I was 12 years old, and I was completely enamored. To me, it felt like an older version of New York City...filled with history. I felt so at home there, and couldn't wait to explore. Lately, I've been homesick for it. London has been on my mind and I hope a British adventure is in store in...
Lately in my little corner of the world, we have been celebrating my mom's birthday. It's actually not until tomorrow, but we've been celebrating here and there for the past week. She and I took a trip to the coast (Santa Cruz, and Capitola area), and had a blast! We used to travel together so often, but it was the first trip we'd...
My best friend tied the not back at the end of June, and I don't think I could have been more happy for two people. The memories from that day are priceless. The memories I have from that period of time are priceless. We woke up in the morning to the smell of coffee and butterflies. The bride was so excited and so...

My best friend and I on the day she said I do. So much time; so many moments, years, smiles, hugs, tears, secrets, hopes, dreams, and love are being exchanged in this picture.

I've been a little timid to share this news with my followers until all my family and friends knew about the decision. Now that I've told all my close family and friends, I wanted to share the news that Jimmy and I will be moving in together at the end of this month! It's a big step, and a big decision, but it has...
As a flower girl in my Aunt Colleen's wedding. Everyone in the family always talks about this picture, as it being their favorite. I love it as well, though I do look quite frightened about having to walk down that aisle. As a flower girl in my Aunt Colleen's wedding.

Our first trip together. Wow, we were such babies; we look so young. This was our very first trip together back in 2009 after only a year or so into our relationship. We traveled up and down the Oregon coast. My mom and I have been making this trip since I was 4 since my grandparents used to own a cabin on the...
"We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand. But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow...
Birthday wishes || Tipsy laughing || Smoke filled hotels || 24 hours spent in the car over three days || Seeing one of my closest friends after being apart for 9 months (I could have had a baby! that's how long it was) || Memories to last a lifetime (the good, the bad and the ugly) - The birthday girl and I celebrating...

A smattering of pictures from the past. Pictures from Vienna & Salzburg, Austria back in 2007. I so thoroughly enjoyed this trip. It left me with burning memories in my brain. The sound of my mother's laughter, walking with my dad through the gardens, and the taste of crisp apple streudel on my tongue quickly dissolving in sugary goodness. I am so blessed...
The words I have today are few and far between. My life seems to be rolling along ahead of me and I'm always just one step behind (hello August, long time no see, and sooner than expected). However, the changes that are on the horizon are welcomely met, and I couldn't be more excited for how things are turning out. To try and...
