windy prairie.

This was a rough day.  Far too windy, dusty and cold!!  I literally almost blew off the cliff a couple times, just ask my sister, she took these photos :)

I do love having a prairie nearby though.  Even though I hardly even venture up, it's nice to know it's there.

Makes me want to dress up like a prairie girl and just wander around the hills singing.

Today is my Saturday!! I couldn't be happier to have the day off. 

I'm 5.

I mean, it's just too hard not to act like a child when there is a big, sturdy tree just BEGGING to be climbed!!  I feel like I was maybe channeling a little inner Huck Finn...?

It feels like Spring is officially here and I'm doing my very best to soak up every drop of it before the scorching sun takes over...which will be just fine with me too :)

I am super excited about the accessories in this post.  Hat, necklace and bag are all from one little vintage shop here in town.

Vintage makes me more happy than any brand new article of clothing in the world.  Except maybe my new Free People skirt..and maybe my JC's...but everything else!!

Thanks for stopping by!

whatever did i do before instagram?

Well hello! :)

I have been working on this little instagram/life in review post off and on for about a week...I can't ever seem to finish things I start...I think I might have adult ADD.  But seriously, I think I might.

Anyways, today I woke up and realized that at some point during the night, I had aged about 25 years...I apparently threw my back out, or did some other very painful back twisty sprain pinched nerve something or other.  This meant I had to opt out of my beloved Monday yoga class, which was borderline infuriating because it's one of a few things I have for myself that I am good at and truly enjoy.  So, with some reluctance I instead went and got my usual coffee and accepted the fact that today I won't be of much good. 

Then I locked my keys in my car.

Sometimes your body and super annoying mistakes you make because you aren't paying attention are trying to tell you something, so I'm taking today to listen.  It's obvious I need to slow down, stop letting things preoccupy my brain and start being more present.  I've let stress get the best of me lately, clearly, but I'm taking over and slowing down and letting things go.

At least I'm gonna try :)

no harm.

Hellllloooo loves!  I am currently eating thai food (Pad Kee Mao with a 2 on the old spice scale - to be exact) and listening to yet another beautiful song Lance introduced me to.  

You might cry it's so beautiful.  

These are some silly sunny pictures Lance took of me in the park.  

It was so hot that day!!-and now it's back to hoodies and slippers.  Come on sun!

we needed to get some sun on him.  :) he's back in LA now so I'm sure he's getting his share. Aren't you;)

rooftops and a silly boy.

Holy cows.

I am actually posting.

I was so lucky this last weekend for so many reasons, and I want to share with you :)

First, Lance was able to come home ON our three year anniversary (long distance relationship; bummer city)!

Yes, bummer city, however, the second major luckiness of the weekend was the absolutely amazing warm weather. He definitely brought the sunshine with him. 

 This day was spent wandering around town, sneaking onto rooftops, and just enjoying each others company.

I gotta say, LDRs are ridiculously difficult...but it's possible, and when you DO see each other, it's like you just met and fell in love all over again.  We are at the 9 month mark of this distance, and have only seen each other 3 times!!  

I am proud of us.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I did a Spring Guest Post that you might enjoy over at Bonte Rue! Check it out here :)

I also took some silly photos of him :)
