twenty three and free

I had a strange but beautiful birthday this last friday.

The day consisted of strawberries on sourdough, an awfully incredible art museum that stole my heart, a planetarium, mint limeade and watermelon at a farmers market and of course being in good company.

I feel like twenty three is a weird age, I feel weird, but at the same I have this sneaking suspicion that it's going to be one of my favorite ages.

This weekend I had the sweetest pleasure of meeting my nephew for the very first time. The little guy is almost ten months and is the most precious and happiest thing I have ever seen in all my days. I love him more than anything and it broke my heart that I had to say goodbye to his adorable face and go back to Utah. Oh how I wish he didn't live so far away.

While I was home we all sat down during breakfast and watched our favorite childhood show Rugrats. In that moment I felt like we were all little kids in our old house on our old beige couches laughing hysterically and not having a care in the world. We had the greatest childhood. In one of the episodes we watched, Chuckie said the greatest thing to Tommy....

"Life is so hard, Tommy...sometimes I think it is the hardest thing."

Couldn't agree more Chuckie.

she's a dying breed

Robert Wolders' words on Audrey Hepburn...

"Once she sensed that she could trust somebody, she'd do anything for them. And if she were disappointed in them, it would be the end of the world for her."
