Technically it's still fall

I didn't want these pictures from our wonderful annual trip to Nebraska City to be forgotten in my iPhoto files, so here is one last hurrah to autumn.

Magic

It's official.

Is your tree up and twinkling?

Best Group Dance

Yep, this was on tonight. Besides the scene where Linus shares the Christmas story, this is my favorite. I like to whip out the side to side-head bob-shoulder lift-running man moves at the occasional wedding reception. Hope you get to enjoy your favorite Christmas show/movie this season!

Sitting Idle

Why hello! How are you? Don't mind me, I'm just dreaming of creating and learning. Are you ever overcome with the desire to make something? To bring something beautiful to this world? Well, I am. And at rather inconvenient times. I mean I'm simply sitting at a stop light and bam, I cannot stop thinking about what amazing things I could create if only I wasn't sitting idle! Such is life.

Sigh.

Here's to hoping you get to create today!

Travel, joy and frustration

I'm sitting here in Seattle for a work conference. It's pretty darn neat that I get to travel for my work, thank you very much employer! But I must say that I'm growing a little weary of the many trips. Life, both personal and business, has taken me to CA, CO, NV, TX, PR (Puerto Rico) and WA so far this year which is incredible until your flight out is delayed two hours and you're stuck in another airport for five hours. But I did get to see my favorite person while on my layover, so... totally worth it. :)

Here

i miss this blog. i miss writing and hoping that someone out there enjoys what i have to say. Life is such an incredible journey and i so enjoy the time to reflect on it here. i have been thinking, really dreaming, about being back and expanding this blog. So much has happened since I have steadily written here, so here are some updates.

moved back to my home state

started a new job

changed jobs

moved into a new apartment

traveled extensively for both work and personal reasons

those are just a few of the many. so i want to be here, writing about my life and the good things. i hope you'll join me, i'd be so appreciative if you did. 

ciao,

Still Here

Almost an entire year has come and gone since I posted last. Incredible how life can fly by! I have been so blessed by the many changes these past months have brought, but more on that later. I just wanted to swing by and say hello and reassure you that I will be back! Thank you for your patience.

The pretty scenery is from Catalina Island, off the coast from L.A.
