one of my favorite john mayer's

I'm writing you to

catch you up on the places ive been

and you have this letter

you probably got excited, but there's nothing else inside it

didn't have a camera by my side this time

hoping i would see the world though both my eyes

maybe i will tell you all about it when i'm

in the mood to lose my way with words

TODAY skies are pained colors of a cowboy cliche

and its strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky

are next to mountains anyway

didn't have a camera by my side this time

hoping i would see the world through both my eyes

maybe i will tell you about it when im

in the mood to lose my way

but let me say

you should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes

it brought me back to life

you'll be with me next time i go outside

NO more 3x5's

i guess you had to be there

i guess you had to be with me

today i finally overcame

tryin to fit the world inside a picture frame

maybe i will tell you all about it when im in the mood to

lose my way but let me say

you should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes

it brought me back to life

you'll be with me the next time i go outside

more more 3x5's

just no more 3x5's

Summer time and the living is easy..

There is a peace and placidity in college towns you will not find anywhere else from may to august. In gainesville, florida, watching swarms of students head toward the interstate sometimes saddens me, as i know that some i will never see again. but with the mass exodus a sense of calm overwhelms me.

Here is a fond farewell to some of the students i started with back in fall of 2006. the past two years have been wonderful, i am glad i could help.

Summer Reading List

One of my most favorite childhood memories was going to the library with my mom and brother. I would check out as many books as the law of the library allowed. With not much to do in Brandenburg Kentucky, the library was quite a field trip and treat for a bored child on a hot summer day.

This summer, i am going to slowly chip away at a new summer reading list. A reading list that allows for a few new easy fictions, but honors the classics as well. Here is my summer reading list. Some i read as an adolescent and i am excited to read them again as an almost responsible adult.

1. To Kill a Mockingbird (repeat)
2. Slaughter House Five
3. Siddhartha
4. Peony in Love
5. The Great Gatsby(repeat)
6. The God of Small Things (repeat)
7. Ladies of Liberty
8. The Grapes of Wrath

nabbed this cool nine west bag in white. LOVE IT

Coffee on a continuous tap.

Separation anxiety from an entire country, Costa Rica on my mind.

Any one up for ziplining over the canopy?

This lucky girl is heading to Costa Rica baby! Will return on March 15th with some great photos and stories, hopefully some lovely stuff, and probably a new addiction to costa rican coffee.

Ciao Bella!
