The past couple of weeks since being home have been very inspiring. I'm becoming more and more aware everyday of how much i have to be thankful for. Photography and music are sitting in my head waiting for a good time to sneak up on me. I can't remember how long it's been since i've picked up a guitar and that makes me sad. But i know its a part of me and it will come back. Photography is taking up most of my artistic attention right now.

Last weekend i went to Santa Monica to visit our relatives Dave and Cheryl. It was such an amazing, relaxing weekend full of inspiration. Dave took me to Venice beach and we just sat on the grass watching all the crazy people walking around. We took pictures of anything and everything that caught our eye. We ate some REALLY healthy food that pretty much tasted like grass and we got henna tattoos to scare my mom a little bit ;). Dave puts off such a good vibe which everyone around him is aware of.

This weekend i'm going to spend my time with the people i love most. Yesterday i went to the spectrum with C. We had so much fun walking around, being silly, and lots of laughing. One time, we walked past these "green peace" people and one of them said to us "there's nothing more romantic then saving a whale." We couldn't stop laughing. He's been going through a hard time recently so i am so glad that i can make him laugh in some of his hardest times. Today i am going to breakfast with my mom and shopping with Jenn. I haven't seen Jenn in way too long and i am so excited to catch her up on my crazy life! Tomorrow is going to be amazing. Simple as that. All my family is coming in town to celebrate "Christmas". Since most of us were gone over the holidays, were having our holiday tomorrow! I just love these family get togethers. My cousins are the cutest things ever and my aunts and uncles are so uplifting.

So there's my life at this moment. :)
