You would think winter would freeze things the way they are...

A lot of times I wonder about "what's next"... it seems to be something that has plagued me for the last, oh, 22 years - however, lately I've been experiencing a lot of different things that are teaching me (or forcing me) to enjoy life as I live it. I've always been a touch unhappy or perhaps unsettled in my life because I have always wanted to take the next step and see the next path and ultimately that has left me with the regret of not grabbing hold of the things that are happening right around me - the twinge of guilt that you feel after you can't go back. So, in essence, I think that this blog will be a celebration of sorts. A celebration of things that have happened that I did not "miss" and a sort of inspiration for the future.

...breathtaking mountain skylines in Australia...

... early sunrises in hawaii ...

...climbing a mountain in Australia with the 'rents....

...feeding a kangaroo?!?!...

...growing learning and exploring together with my love...

...spending quality time with my girls...

...being as silly as possible...

...enjoying the way the seasons change...

... watching beautiful sunsets at the house...

...wanting to never let go of friends...

...pretending we are more important than we are...


...not caring how silly we may act...

... and laughing uncontrollably...

At points, I wish I could go back to those moments, not to change them in any way but to experience them again now that I realize the preciousness of them. I assume everyone feels this way at one point of another. This is, after all, just the beginning of my life, and things are going to get a lot more interesting from here on out, so I'll count it as a lesson learned.
