to create is to destroy

"life is about getting up out of your chair and doing something. it is about doing nothing. making a mess. moving your hand and your body. leaving a mark.it is about doing. action. finishing.experimenting.trying something. immersing. it is about absurdity. a creation. evidence that you exist. using materials. destruction. it is about fun. doing the opposite. breaking the rules. it is about ideas. getting dirty. making mistakes. i'm going to ask you to make a mark and it's going to be messy. don't worry about that. that's the point." 
this is how i try to live everyday. working and going to school at the moment slows me down a little but i'm happy :) i love staying busy. i am so looking forward to when school is out and i can stay busy riding my dirt bike, laying out on the boat, running, exploring, riding horses, surfing, wake boarding, swimming, lake powell, havasupai, bear lake, california and whoooo knows what else will be added to the list tomorrow. 
life i love you.

signs of spring

i've been studying for midterms
trying to soak up the 
little sun i can
enjoying the slushy ski slopes
planning spring break
digging the sun dresses
out of my closet
finally running outside
again :) and 
at the end of the day
when my brain is burned
out from studying for exams
i read my favorite 
fashion blogs and start
window shopping for my
spring wardrobe
this is my beautiful friend
Kate :) she makes spending
hours in the library studying
very enjoyable! 
we waste a lot of time
laughing at... EVERYTHING! 
 santa barbara is the
perfect getaway when utah
is going through it's
bitter ice age stage
we were here for the
holidays and it was
perfect. because it's
always summer here.
boyfriend and i can
surf year round!
 spring boarding  
it's not the slushy
conditions i love
but the warm sunshine
toss that heavy coat
and grab a light jacket
going boarding every
day you can because
it wont last much longer
summer is on the way!
shorts!! yes i'm wearing
shorts! this is a
picture from our vegas
trip a couple weeks
ago. it was SO fun!
now i have spring break
to look forward to :)
my family and i are
going to moab to do
some bike races. 
i'm so happy!
the green scenery is 
coming back to life
and my sun dresses are
once again breathing
fresh air
oh and running :)
my sister and i love
to run. this is a
picture of us running
an ULTRA marathon 
(31.5 miles) last 
summer. it's now
finally warm enough
to run outside
again. SO excited!
like i was saying 
earlier.. after i can't
study any longer, i 
relax by browsing 
fashion blogs. 
these are some of my
favorite looks i've 
 been loving
i figure after finals in
april i'll reward myself
with some spring/summer
SHOPPING! :)

Love the one your with

let's celebrate 
loving each other
friendship and
who we are..
whether you've 
found that someone
or your
finding yourself
we have today
to express our love
for myself this means..
wrapping your arms 
tight around your man 
kissing him and
 really meaning it
 or if there is no man yet
 ..kissing a stranger
to make your
day more exciting
 daydreaming
 watching an old classic
 running away to a
place where you can be 
alone
feeling those 
butterflies again
oh and of course, chocolate.
thank you valentines day 
for another excuse to 
indulge in your own  box
of chocolates.. 
 and one of my favorites..
memories, happy times
captured moments
photos
 real love stories
 the different ways 
we express our love
 spending time with friends
who we love and adore
 some of my 
favorite valentines
are the creative ones
the homemade cards
and handwritten letters
hand picked flowers
and last minute roses
 because it's about us..
expressing our love
to the greatest people in our lives 
 thank you love day
