Hello Fall... Are You There?

I am so excited that fall is just around the corner! This morning as I walked to class I just felt it- fall is in the air!  The mountains all ready have big patches of orange and red. I love fall! Those who know me know of this love! I have many previous posts referring to fall.  Fall is soups, sweaters, squash-pumpkin, changing leaves, crisp apples- oh it's just full of so many awesome things! My sweaters, brown boots, and I are just waiting for the cooler temperatures to arrive! This season truly is my favorite for so many reasons. Honestly, what's not to love about sweaters, pumpkin, orange and red leaves, crisp apples, and "cool pleasant breezes"? 

I Am A Lover Of Truth

A Tall, Bearded Dude

Lately I have been asked if while I was in Alaska I met a tall bearded plaid wearing lumberjack Alaskan or a tall bearded dude who wears tight white t-shirts. Answer is...yes I met a tall bearded dude who wears tight white t-shirts. It was both interesting and funny that I was asked specifically about the beard and tight white t-shirt part. Actually, I met a couple tall bearded guys and one of them wore plaid often and the other one was always sporting a tight white t-shirt. I know this question is somewhat on the more joking side than the actual serious side, but in all realness and awesomeness I met a tall bearded dude who wears tight white t-shirts. His name?........ Wouldn't you all like to know! Good! Cause I'm going to tell you! Mark. Mark and I became good friends quickly. I think it was our love for Vitamin Water. ;) Mark and I on the surface seem very different, but we are not. I learned we are both feelers who enjoy reading, writing, snacking, and being crazy. I learned and am learning many things. I definitely count Mark as a blessing in my life. I am grateful I met a tall beared dude and that I can call him friend.

Cheesy Cherishing

September is here! Today is the unofficial last day of summer. This summer was amazing- absolutely amazing! I learned many things this summer and truthful still am learning from the many experiences I had. The AK Adventure brought many things- new friends, a fresh perspective, a strengthening of convictions, a resolution to continue to live my convictions. These are just a few of what stands out most. New friends. I made some incredible friends this summer. I worked, ate, lived, and played with some awesome people these past three months. I am so grateful that I developed the friendships I did! As cheesy as it may sound they really did take a place in my heart. At times we may have seemed quite different from one another, but in reality we are so similar. All trying to do our best and seeking to discover who we really are and experiencing life and living it to the fullest in the way we want to. I cherish my time in the AK with them with hopes of seeing them soon! Masaya Ang Aking Puso :)
