Frankenstein

Difficult run.
Only one of the top breathtaking parks on my list.
And now, also, the scene of an epic life adventure.
On Thursday i went running on the lovely trails with two deardear friends.
Afterwards we decided to take a dip in the river to cool off.
The water was perfect. The view magnificent.
We began climbing over to one of the waterfalls.
When.
I took a slip.
And had the luck of landing on a broken beer bottle.
And getting this.

What a beautiful gash.
Being stuck in the middle of the river we had to think fast on what to do.
Joan was kind enough to offer her sports bra in order to make a tourniquet.
We then proceded to clamber back up the rock to the trails
rush back to the cars
stop by a fire station to get the wound packed
and finally make it to an ER to get me stiched up
Now, it looks like this.



I've decided that stitches are one of life's biggest nuissance if youre ever lucky enough to get any.
No pool.
Awkward showering.
Awkward running.
Awkward biking.
Basically. I can't wait to get them removed.

Come Thou Fount.

I celebrated a beautiful Sunday by riding my bike to church.
I was blessed with peaceful trails
allowing me to reflect, meditate, and enjoy some Afterglow.
I have been watching this over and over.


I cannot help but feel such a love for my Savior
when I look at these photos.
I feel so blessed to have had someone love me so much,
He gave His life for me.
I know that my Heavenly Father loves me.
I am so grateful for the atonement and opportunity to live with Him once again.

I love Sundays.

will you be mine?

i think i am in love.
everyone told me i needed one
and should get one.
i thought so too.
so after tireless hours searching
i think i found
the one.

i'm talking about you.



how i can picture us on lovely summer afternoons.
riding to the market and the park

you are so useful and would make my life way easier.
i believe we were meant to be.
i want you. i need you.
oh baby. oh baby.
{we'll pretend those are bottles of rootbeer}
