A Perfect Holiday

Christmas has never really been a big deal to me as an adult but I still felt obligated to indulge for my extended family's sake and only in recent years have forgone gift all-together. This year was even better. Because NYE and my Birthday are more big a deal for me, I took off of work for then and hung around in KY for Xmas.

It turned out to be one of my favorite holidays. Xmas eve included board games, indoor bouldering and T-shirt weather. Tyler and I planned a delicious vegetarian Christmas dinner and one of the other guys on property joined us. We slept in and went for a short hike to follow some of the streams that were overflowed on property because of all the rain before starting dinner. We also had lots of wine.

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect time. No stress (except making sure dinner was delicious!). At one point Ty mentioned that he hadn't gotten me anything for Xmas. I smiled because thats exactly what I wanted for Xmas! Just to spend time together, cook a very yummy meal and relax.


Then my birthday was almost ruined by an insane snowstorm! But my Ty made sure that we made it to mke and those who were around and able to brave the storm, turned up. (so many little cars got stuck in the deep snow) We went from first to almost last in trivia but it was so fun.

Then NYE!!! So much glitter. So much. So much love for my friends. So many hugs. So much dancing and tons of laughing. And I took very good care of myself to make sure I could get off Jake's couch in time to get home and catch my bus/plane back to KY.

Red = Passion

Yesterday, I had a shit-eating grin as I was winding through local streets, pedaling and feeling the warm breeze in my hair. I recently, in the last month, moved to the DC area and have been struggling to fit in and find my place. This month, Ty and I got our own room in a place that we share with a few others that are our roommates in our new town. But there are still so many things that are missing in my life. I need yoga, rock climbing and freedom to get around on my own. On Tuesday afternoon, I took that first step at transportation freedom in the form of a two wheeled vehicle. I took the metro to Virginia which is a bit of a ride from my new home on the Maryland side. I stopped at one of the last metro stops and walked out into the sunny, nice weather. I was meeting someone from craigslist who was selling a little, red Schwinn bike. I exited the station and immediately saw the little red bike being held up by a sweet looking, older man. I introduced myself, took the bike for a...

Runners High

At 12:30pm, I stepped outside for the first time all day. I hadn't really even left my room until I realized that if I didnt go outside, I probably would bum it all afternoon. I put my running shoes on and bounced outside. I started walking and after I got myself settled, I started to run. After being cooped up, those first few steps of an outdoor run is so magical. The feeling of freedom, fresh air and adrenaline is fantastic. I always have a mad smile and excitement for being able to move so fast. After my first few minutes of running, thats when the exhaustion sets in. What keeps me going longer, is adventure. Do I like running? Not really. Do I enjoy exploring? Obviously. I decided to check out a new part of the power line trail that I have not seen before and ran up the hills, or on straight path, and walked down hills. I went to the beginning of the trail and back again, smiling at the other people who were also out for their afternoon walk/bike. The sun came out and it...

To Brittian and Back

Today Amber, Dana and I woke up early to go on an adventure. 6:23 to be exact. How I know that is because Ty had to call me to wake Dana and I up from our very deep slumber. I sprung awake and got ready in record time to try to help Ty jump his car. Only it didn't work so we had to wake up my roommate to drive us all. The three ladies convened at the dock where our boat trip would leave. We were all a little tired but mostly excited for our long overdue adventure and being tourists for the day. We started our tip with about an hour long boat ride to Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands (BVI), the three of us talking about anything and everything that came to mind. Once we got to Virgin Gorda, everyone on the trip took a taxi over to the baths. The baths (BVI) are a geologic structure in which volcanic rock is pushed up near the water to create tunnels, pools, arches and grottoes. There are only two baths in the world, one being in the BVI, so it was super cool that we got to go...
