happy snaps

lazy Sunday | photographing spring cocktails | God's glory

that puppy face | Seattle boy in the Cali ocean | finally found the perfect calendar

the official shoe of summer | spring in downtown SD | my boy on a beach hike

life is messy and broken and bizarre sometimes, but that is when we must try our hardest to seek joy, seek color, seek life and light. explore, be creative, be grateful, treasure even the smallest things. rejoice in your own capabilities. go find those things that make you revel in the earth, that make you truly believe that the world is a beautiful place. as my favorite weirdo Kurt Vonnegut said, "I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'if this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'"

lately

hiiiiiiiii.

it's been a while.

my computer, which I bought right before starting my freshman year of college, is officially on it's way to donezo & mostly unusable. which makes blogging a tad difficult (not to mention that any time it does work, I sneak in an episode of Scandal on Netflix, which is my new obsession). but! a little instagram update for you of life lately, including: beach time with my babe, new favorite coffee shop, a day in San Clemente with my sisters + mama, farmers market & downtown SD exploring, little tidbits of our apartment, Christmas vintage, & just your average sunset. 

though living in a new city always has its challenges & hard times, i still look around me in awe and think "i can't believe i live here" almost every day. so cheers to living a life in awe!
