I am off in a matter of hours for my week(ish) long road trip. Rachelle, Hunter, Grady, Kevin and I are driving out to Aspen to visit our friend Dylan who is working as Smokey the Bear this summer. We have a tentative plan with lots of wiggle room! We want only one thing...ADVENTURE!!! See you babes when I get back!

Hello Everyone. Yes, I am still here. I have received many lovely notes and emails from you all wondering of my whereabouts. Thanks so much for those! I have been around. So sorry I havent been writing much lately. Ive been busy. Busy just living, I guess. I feel like my life always goes like this. A little roller coaster like. Sometimes life is just so full that I cannot stop, well, living it, to take a moment to write about it. I both love and hate these times. Whats better than weeks so full of excitement and heartbreak that you can barely stop to catch your breath? It is the observer in me, the documenter in me that hates these times. I get so much from my moments of reflection and time turning my experiences into stories, so when I dont get to do that, I can feel that life is just passing me by, no matter how full it is.  So here I am,  putting pen to paper, or rather, finger to keyboard. Im back and ready to share all my adventures with you all.

“But it’s hard to stay mad when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once and it’s too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst. And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life.” — American Beauty
