it is bike riding season.

i couldn't be more thrilled.
cause, the sun.

also. i move this week.

packing. packing. & packing.

nature.

nature reminds me that i am loved.
nature reminds me that there is always a time to start over.
nature reminds me of isaiah 25: 8

"...and the Lord God will wipe away 

tears from off all faces."

nature is a good reminder.

trip to the lake.

never have i inhaled so much freshwater.
i find the entertainment mother nature provides us to be the best.
she gave me a lake & a boyfriend.
could i really ask for more?

also. i am reading again.
i breezed through 200 hundred pages today & cried because it was such a stress reliever.
a quote jumped to me from the print & it said...

she could feel herself getting sentimental,

which she always was,

sometimes she missed people before they even left her,

got depressed about a 

vacation being over before it started.

.jennifer close. (girls in white dresses.)

i would say this describes me exactly.

also. i don't like feeling pressured but i don't like growing up either.

sometimes i wish we could just pause & rewind to a perfect memory & hang out there.

for just awhile, to remember it better, savor it.

& then move on. just so the memory is fresh & relatable again.

we went to the lake.

mother nature is a nice lady.

wishes.

i like hiking. the other day. we went on one. and we found a dandelion the size of my face. blowing a wish away was such a treat. hands down the second best thing that has happened to me all week. nature treats me well.

"but is just say, never mine, never mine.long as i can spell G-O-D i got somebody along."

-the color purple.

awe.

is it just me, or does utah paint a beautiful picture.
nah. i don't think it's just me.
breath taking. ahhh.

branches.

i find winter trees to be pretty.
very pretty.

nature walk.

so. it's no secret that we live in a pretty beautiful place.
oh. how i love nature.

i went on a walk today. because the weather is so nice.
i have a crush. on nature.

celebrate me home.

the sunrise this morning. beautiful. it was like a sundae. with a brownie on the bottom. ice cream in the middle. and strawberry syrup on top. like i said. beautiful. also. it is one of those "off days." you know. where everything feels off. your hair. your smile. your mood. your style. your dreams. all off. so. cool.

like a child.

today. when i was driving to school. i took the long way. and sang to cat stevens. i avoided the icy roads. and wore mittens. while driving. i stopped at the stop signs along the way. it is the law. while stopped. i checked my rear view mirror. and i noticed something. so beautiful. a male deer. yes. a buck. with a full set of antlers. a full rack. he was gorgeous. so. i stayed. stopped at that stop sign. and watched that buck. until he was gone. until. i couldn't see him anymore. he walked down the middle of that road. and i was breathless.
it was the best way to start of a wednesday.
and. needless to say. i was twenty minutes to first period.
see. it pays off. to drive the long way.

make my mouth water.

there was snow this morning when i left for the morning side. my body ached at the sight of it. i was extremely upset, i had not been able to rake let alone enjoy my fallen leaves. luckily though, when i returned home, i saw that mother nature must have had a hot flash, the snow was completely melted. three cheers for hot flashes. i am so sick of being chilled. end of the term, it kills me. though i hate halloween. i would rather have no snow as i walk around the streets sizing up costumes. yes. this is what i do on halloween. the headless horseman is quite eloquent. i watch far too much ghost whisperer. i am beginning to dream in "vision form" so unhealthy.
regina spektor is a simple minded genius.
my doctor was at the pool today. that was weird.
happy day friends, happy day.

park in the city.

we had lots of fun.
in no particular order.

roll on.

and we're off.
for a little weekend trip.
celebrate fall.
thank jesus. visit nature.
live and love.
see you soon.
xo

nature is fantastic.
when i grow up. i want a ruby. instead of a diamond.

some may argue that wishing on dandelions is a complete waste of time.
i would say, no. wishing on dandelions in the best way to spend time.
quick. before they all disappear.
blow your wish. it doesn't matter which direction.
it will be heard.

i promise.

all the luck.

beautiful day. full of little league soccer. cocoa. and nature.
three cheers for a good day.

also. just call me a senior.
thank you papa ricks. the photos are simply brilliant.

also. quote of the day.
"you know the world is messed up when the greatest rapper is white, the best golfer is black, and the tallest NBA player is asian."
i laughed.
have a brilliant fall break.
