Sun Struck

Today was absolutely perfect. It was the best day I've had in such a long time. I got to sleep in and then Dylan and I went to beach to celebrate the beautiful weather. We body surfed, ran to the pier and back to dry off and warm up, and then laid out in the midday sun. Oh man, what a good day. I cannot believe it's the middle of January! How awesome is our little town.

Weekend Recap

Oh boy, this weekend was so great. If I had all day, I'd share all of the great things I got to do and experience. In short, it was one of those weekends where you really feel alive and able to do anything. You realize that time is of the essence and the little things are what makes up a big adventure. Yeah, I haven't slept in my bed in three days, but who's really counting? Sure, my gas tank is empty, but what's it really matter? My heart is beating, my legs are working, and my world is defined only by spirit.

67 Degrees of Sunshine

I cannot get over how beautiful it is here in Wilmington today! Naturally I forgot to study for my Critical Thinking Test and naturally I wanted to cry about it. So after muscling my way through class I decided I needed some extra Vitamin D and Exploration in my diet. I bypassed the "studying" with friends, pumpkin spice aromas, and noisy coffee grinders that make up my favorite coffee shop in town, Java Dog, and went to check out the old train station (Atlantic Coastline) which is now a historic site, convention center, and museum+gift shop down on the Cape Fear River. It was so nice! Peaceful and quiet, but there was still the opportunity to people watch as old folks moseyed in and out of the old train carts, businessmen in suits rushed by on their lunch breaks, and little kids begged their mothers for the bigger train stuffed animals and butterscotch candies. I loved it. Definitely my new place to escape and be while I'm at school. There was even a cute little wooden bench beckoning me to sit on it and enjoy the view. I guess it was just meant to be.

The back side of the station.

Indeed, this is the sacred bench of solitude.

My favorite boots of all time. Ordered them from Nasty Gal a few months ago. SO obsessed!

I am Happy. My favorite button, ever ever ever. Dylan made it for me when we first started dating.

The icing on the cake!

Breezy Days

Get outside and ride your bike! It's been so beautiful lately, and I cannot wait to see how even more beautiful Mother Nature will be making our tiny little Earth in the next few weeks. I recently got in a biking accident, and am still recovering but I am just itching to go on a sunny ride soon. In the meantime, take the time to go on one for me!
