children of the sun

i love the summer months here in hawaii.

small waves, the warm sun, and good friends-- it's all one needs to be happy.

 

 

dance all night

lately, all i want to do is dance.

i'm visiting utah for the weekend.  i came home to spend some time with and say goodbye to by little brother before he heads off on his mission to the czech republic.

i've woken up to snow every morning so, in attempts to appease the shivers running through my body and my icy-cold appendages, i have been staring at these fun pictures of warmer and sunnier days.

a few weeks ago, i bought a disposable camera to toy around with on some of my island adventures.    can't say it was my own idea---thanks to amber, brit, and shayla for the inspiration. 

 

bones are sinking like stones

we live in a beautiful world

 ya we do, ya we do.

the beauty of it

well, today has been one of those days-- to say the least.  

however, the tears and frustrations have been small in comparison to the beauty and love that surround me.

i mean,  just look at that candy-cotton sky, those foamy waves, and the happy faces below.

could i be anymore blessed? 

 i would argue no.

 

   

 

also,

i like this song.

i dig

square photos...

in my opinion, the only thing instagram is good for.

i love when i have a good excuse to play tourist on this beautiful island.

hot-tubing at turtle bay, good food galore, surfing, karaoke, sunsets, and the pcc.

thanks jon and jamie for a fun weekend!

 

 

 

sunday, funday

When I say, ‘I love you,’ it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You’re a hell of a person.

Joss Whedon

i can't let go of you

my friend katie just emailed me these pictures and they were too good not to share.

goodness, i miss these girls!

get a load of our faces, clearly taking pictures in the deep blue is harder than it looks.
