Lake Havasu

Pictures from a trip to Havasu with my friend Maddie and her family. It was such a fun vacation...there's nothing better than being around people you love to be with, and who make you laugh almost every second of the day.

The first set of pictures shown here were taken with a disposable camera.

  
The following shots were taken with a Holga 35mm camera. It was the first time I used it, so it will definitely take a bit longer to play with/figure out. 
The pictures below were my favorite of the bunch though.

Here&There

Here &There: moments and thoughts in a weekly post






And below, a little tune that makes me feel like I'm somewhere else. xoxo





Cookin' Cookies



The lovely Meghan and I made chocolate chip cookies from scratch last night. The excitement over these delicious treats is pretty darn obvious from our facial expressions. It was so much fun catching up, eating warm cookies, and discovering that Meghan has a wonderful Tumblr I can now follow. She will be leaving for Spain in 37 days, which is so thrilling for her, but so sad for me. I expect some cool postcards from this girl.

To Sing for You

 

After perusing around other blogs, I happened to stumble upon a website where you can create mixed tapes and publish them online. It's called 8tracks, and I just finished making my first mix of music.  As is evident by its title, I chose songs that are sung by artists with inspiring, haunting, and/or intriguing voices. Click above to listen now or click here to go to the direct website. The song tracks are listed below for you all. Hope everyone is well...xoxo
