Le Fleur

I don't know if I can fully explain the extent of my love of flowers.

Bring me flowers any day of the week and I'll be happy.

The beauty is just overwhelming.

So tonight, as I procrastinate, here are some beautiful flowers

(thank you Pinterest)

I'd lie in this field forever 

 But seriously, if my house could overflow with flowers constantly, I'd be perfectly happy.

A flower market in Mexico, how gorgeous.

Los Angeles

Hello little blog!

I'm currently in Los Angeles visiting my brother!

Want to see a few pictures?

Alright!

Day Two:

(Day One, i flew into Los Angeles, ate In-n-Out, chilled with Caleb, and fell asleep before 7 pm)

I was able to hang out with my Framily 

(closer than friends + almost family = framily)

Brennan and Khara (and their adorable pup Mojo) took me to Griffith Park today! 

You can never eat too much of this.

 Selfie? 

As long as it's in front of one of the most incredible views!!

 This city has been amazing so far!!

 Me and Khara, fresh picked flowers!

It was an incredible day.

And then we finished our evening with Intelligentsia coffee.

Quite the perfect hipster, people-watching kind of place.

And good coffee.

I look forward to the rest of the week!!!

This one time I had a blog...

Those Winter Sundays

How many of you thought of your own dad and the small, quiet things they did in love?

Those Winter Sundays
by Robert Hayden

Sundays too my father got up early
and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,
then with cracked hands that ached
from labor in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.

I'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.
When the rooms were warm, he'd call,
and slowly I would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic angers of that house,

Speaking indifferently to him,
who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
What did I know, what did I know
of love's austere and lonely offices?

Not Weak

Filmy days

I got another roll of film developed.

A couple weekends ago I went down to the beach with my parents.

And Jordan!

Man, I miss all of my brothers so much.

Saturday we went to the Blue Angels' air show at Pensacola (as you can see with the previous post).

And then today, Asa and Nathan came to Birmingham to longboard!

Of course I'll take a study break and do something better than studying.

I was extra excited about this roll of film, and well.. here are some of them. 

So enjoy!

 This is my brother Jordan.

Yes, he's awesome.

Fat Albert, C-130, Blue Angels

Jordan at the beach.

Cool shorts, bro.

What better thing to do than journal and read Peter Pan?

Jamie and I went to Pepper Place Market one morning.

It couldn't have been a more perfect day!

I longboard.

(......well.....not really..very slowly..but I try)

Nathan doin some cool tricks

Okay this picture is one of my favorites because I didn't expect Asa to be in focus, I didn't expect the lighting to be so cool. 

Well..not much can be said about this.

(note the longboard right next to me)

More sweet moves from Nathan!

Railroad Park is a happy place!

It was an unusual but enjoyable day.

I love my camera.

Have a beautiful day!

Blue Angels

If you ever get the chance to see a Blue Angels airshow, I highly suggest you do all that you can to go!

I've grown up seeing their shows and every time they never cease to impress.

Airplanes are just amazing.

So here's a few pictures I took on my mom's iphone (Maybe i'll have my own one day)

They can get as close as 18 inches from each other. 

This was the opener of the Blue Angels' show, Fat Albert, a C-130.

This has been such a fun weekend already!

Oh, and this is my brother Jordan.

I've missed him a lot.

Yeah, that's right he's awesome.

Beach Bound

Gooooing to the beach, and I'm so so very happy!!
This means I get to hang out with my parents AND my brother!!!

So happy!

Captured

It's no secret that I love film.

But lately, they haven't been turning out as well.

So this last roll of film I tried to get back to the mindset of taking my time and being patient and waiting for just the right moment.

And so here are just a few...

Mary-John & The Lake

JD & River peekin in the chicken coop

I wish I could live here

Look at that face

Happy Fall :)

Another Month

It has been a month since I've been home.
Man, did I miss it.
And what is the craziest of all is how much little August and River have grown!!!
River has seriously become a kid, rather than a toddler.
And August has just grown up so much too.
He just turned 1 this past week and I can't believe my little buddy is that old already.

I'll say it.. It makes me feel old.
I just hate that I have to go a whole month between seeing them...
It's just not okay. Especially when I was there for the entire first 2 years of River's life.
So to have to miss all of the new little happy things he discovers.

But anyways, I suppose that's part of life, and just as long as they remember and know me as the best and favorite aunt in the world, I'm okay with that.

So blessed!



P.s. there's just nothing like sitting down the piano here and feeling that music
