its almost here.


sunshine - whether it be spring or summer or fall, is coming. I can feel it when the clouds begin to part on the evening drives home. my feet begin to dance and my heart begins to pump. being outside, after working inside all day is something I want more than ever. When I was young, I took being outside for granite. I never had a bigger desire than at 25 to be in the trees. to be in the mountains and hills and fields. to smell more than circulated air. to feel the soft ground below my feet. out of heels and into boots. climbing and climbing. for the rush of the journey and the work on the legs. the more and more I age, the more and more I am drawn to wander. to move about, explore and adventure. you would think one would slow down. I am just getting started.

its the rush, the actual feeling of being alive. the fresh air on my lungs is a high - better than any drug could give me. I'm catching on to what God had in store for this life. to be in it and live it until he calls us home.

wild days, I will find you

there are times when I think I am still SO young... I'll get this want deep within me to paint my nails black, ditch work and just drive. I get this want to just let it all go, have no responsibilities, and just run. Make mistakes, fall in love again and again, photograph anything and everything, dance on table tops, drink to much, stay up late to watch the stars and just live. I'll be driving home from work, thinking... lets just go! I have a full tank of gas, I can get new clothes, bills are paid for the month.. lets just go wild for a week. Hike and move, laugh and cry and be happy. but I always bounce back, look at the clock and say "oh man... its 8:30PM... I should start getting ready for bed." HOW BORING. I tattooed myself a few months ago - wanting something to remind me of how far I have come and how much God has been my influence in my life. I also got it to just FEEL something. Anything. In the moment of getting the tattoo, I felt young, alive and ...
