On this day that is Earth Day, I thought I would give this beautiful place we live a shoutout. Aren't we lucky to have such an amazingly breathtaking planet to call home? Seriously, sometimes I take it for granted. So, to commemorate this blessed day of the celebration of our Earth, here is a picture of the prettiest place I've ever been: Ambleside, England. There hasn't been a place that has taken my breath away quite like Ambleside did. It truly was magic. And green. Greener than anywhere I've ever seen. Oh how I miss that green. So, I just wanted to say thanks Earth for being so crazy gorgeous and awesome. We sure owe a lot to you. Cause I mean, what would we do without you? (Die. That's what).

10 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ME IF WE'RE GOING TO BE BFFS
I got a new camera bag and I'm obsessed with it. So I decided to adventure up into the mountains and take a couple pictures.
So a couple weeks ago I read this post on The Secret Life of Bee, a blog that I've followed now for a while, and I thought to myself, hey, that's fun. I'm going to do that too! And hey, if you all are going to read along these are things you should probably know about me so we can be best friends :)
1. I love love music. It makes my world go round. I probably have the broadest taste when it comes to music though, I don't think there is a single genre that I just completely hate. My top 5 favorite artists reflect that too: 1. Ben Howard 2. Noah Gundersen 3. Manchester Orchestra 4. Taylor Swift and 5. Lorde.
2. I'm probably the least patient person you'll ever meet. When I want something I want it now, I don't want to wait for it. It's why I can't start art projects--I rarely have the patience to finish them. It's something that I'm always trying to work on though.
3. I could eat Chili's chips and salsa for almost every single meal. Also, Cinnabons. And fish tacos.
4. I love being with people but I don't mind being alone too. I've gone to movies by myself, I go to Barnes & Noble alone often and sit and read in the café...I've even gone to restaurants by myself and it doesn't bother me one bit.
5. I don't like big groups of people. Hanging out with any group of people more than 5 or 6 stresses me out and makes me quiet. I'm not the type to cry out for attention and prefer getting to know people in a more intimate setting. One on one is my favorite way to spend time with other humans.
6. I hate dating. Hate it. Going on a date with a random person that I hardly know is basically my worst nightmare.
7. I'm shy when you first meet me and people often mistake me as quiet. But if you get to know me I'm probably the loudest person you'll ever meet. I love to talk and people are always telling me to calm down and talk more quietly.
8. I'm probably one of the least picky people. In all aspects of life. I love most food, there are very few movies and TV shows that I don't like, I love all music (see #1) and there have been very few people that I absolutely can't stand.
9. Although I love to talk, I also love to listen. I love hearing people's stories and hearing other's ideas about life. I love listening and helping people through problems. I considered being a therapist at one point in my life.
10. I love to laugh and laugh at everything. I love people who can make me laugh. I hardly ever take anything seriously and even when I've been in fights with people, I always try to lighten the mood by making a joke after. People are constantly telling me to stop being so sarcastic, but hey, life's too short to be too serious about anything, right??
So there you have it. Now you know enough about me to be my besty.

A LITTLE TUNE FOR YOUR FRIDAY
I discovered Hudson Taylor just a few weeks ago on Spotify and now I'm obsessed. They're coming out with a new album in just a few weeks here too and I can't wait to hear it! They're voices are so unique and their music is so relatable I just love them. They are definitely on my top 10 list right at the moment! And they're Irish so 'nuff said. Enjoy!

ADVENTURING
A few days ago something pretty came in the mail. Yes, that camera right up there. I've been going back and forth about getting a new camera for ages and finally decided to do it! And man am I happy I did. It's the Canon T5i and I love it. It's a great camera for me and what I need right now. I'm so excited for the pictures I'm going to take!
Since I was so excited I decided to go out and have a picture-taking day of sorts. It was beautiful out, not warm exactly, but not cold either. And the light was just perfect too! Let us all take a moment and thank the photography gods for coming together to turn everything into perfection on the blessed day of my camera arrival. Also, do you see that little bud coming in?? Hooray for springtime! It really was the funnest of adventuring days. It just made me even more excited for summer so I can I can just be outside all the time making memories with my new lil' camera buddy.
Oh yeah and I'm addicted to diet coke so the day was not complete without a stop at Sev. Heaven help me.

CURRENT SUMMER FAVORITES

| 1. Ray-Ban 2. Anthropologie 3. Free People 4. Ona 5. J.Crew 6. Globe |
Oh the weather these days... It has been fluctuating back-and-forth between warm and not-so-warm, as it tends to do in springtime, and I've had enough of it! I'm ready for some heat gosh dang it! Unfortunately, there's not much I can do to talk Mother Nature into deciding it's ready to be summer so instead I've been soothing my hot-weather cravings with these babies right up here. These 6 items are all on my wishlist for summer and I can't wait till it's warm enough so I can put them to use! I'm especially excited about that camera bag. It's perfect no?
What are your current summertime faves?

ST GEORGE
So if you actually scrolled through that massive dumping of photos I just posted and actually got to this point, I'm proud of you. Truly I am. This past week, has been amazing. And when you have amazing weeks you've got to write about them, right? Well, it's been the funnest I've had in a minute and I just want to gush about it.
My friends and I decided it was time to take a break and relax in warmer weather, it being Spring Break and all. So we packed our bags and all headed to St. George, Utah for the week. I have been craving 70 degree weather for the longest time so it was just what the doctor ordered. We spent our days eating, hiking, exploring, tanning, swimming, and sleeping. So basically just having an awesome time and not even thinking about anything that was remotely stressful or unfun. When on vacation it is against the rules to think about anything other than having the best time of your life. So that is just what we did.
Also, why has nobody ever told me Zion's National Park is the coolest, prettiest place ever? Like, I live in the same state as this amazing place and no one ever bothered to tell me that I was an idiot for never going. Well until my pal Joshua did. He smacked me upside the head and was all like, you crazy! Get your act together! So I did, and we adventured to Zion's, Zion's and I fell in love, the end. I'm going back like 50 more times before I die and exploring that entire place. So many times while I was there I just was in awe. I was in amazement that places like this are real. They aren't stuff of paintings and fairytales. They aren't photoshopped or retouched, they're really just THAT beautiful. If places like that don't convince you that God exists, I don't know what will.
I also made friends with some cows in the little town of Grafton. Animals know when you're taking pictures of them I'm convinced. That cow is posing for me I'm telling you! I really wanted to hop the fence hug him because he was so cute but he probably would of trampled me so I thought twice. I still love him though. (I have a problem with loving every animal I see, sue me).
Needless to say, I'm terribly sad that I'm home. I'm dreading having to go back to school and work tomorrow and having to face real life. And also having to figure out my life for the summer... which basically means locking myself in a room and applying for internship after internship. Please pray for my soul that I won't go crazy! But hey, I guess we have to do the not so fun stuff sometimes so the fun stuff is that much sweeter, right?
