Discover

First, I read...

Then, I saw ...

Which made me decide to go about my 2014 resolutions the [new?] way.

I love learning. I love adventures. I love pushing myself.  

Explore, grow, learn, love.

Those words didn't fit.

My personal 2014 word of the year... DISCOVER.

I feel like this word encompasses all my goals- discover who I am and who we are. Discover the world around me and what the people in my life are worth. Discover how far I can push my self.

My goal is to wake up every day knowing there is something to be discovered, and to find that thing.

Happy 2014! 

I'm pumped.

Moab

Lucky me I have a job where I get to take teenage girls and their families to explore Moab for a few days. That place is amazing and I am dying to go back already. By the end of the three days camping, everyone was saying how bad they wanted a hot shower and clean clothes. By the end of my three days I was just wanting to stay longer and explore more and live in the wild forever. Pictures don't do the beauty justice. 

Me at our campground

 God did a mighty fine job creating this earth!

 Sand dune arch was probably my favorite. The sand was so soft and beachy, but red. And we all climbed up on top of this thing!

 I love that it just looks like someone dumped a bunch of paint buckets down the side of the wall. This was the Morning Glory Hike and it was gorgeous!

 Unfortunately this last picture is blurry, but look hard and you can see some petroglyphs. This was SO COOL!!!! This Indian art was so interesting, I could have stared at it for hours. It was just along the side of the road.

I'll let you know when Gav & I go back together. I sure hope it's sometime soon!

Starting to Fall

Every year it's like a break-up. Summer ends and fall comes. This year though, I've accepted it early; I am summered out this time around (which I never thought I'd say) and am moving on. Here's our seasonal bucket list:

Pumpkin flavored everything, Half marathon, football games, pick-your-own orchard, glittery holiday crafts, look at the stars, build a fire, go on a hike in a colored canyon, spicy candles, jump in a leaf pile, buy something plaid, visit some hot springs, corn maze or haunted house, carve a pumpkin, make a trip to Wendover, see Luke Bryan in concert, and have fun with our coming soon nephew!
We are always open to new ideas so feel free to share! and everyone's invited.

P.S. enjoy this inspiration picture with me
