Happy (belated) Birthday Trev!

You know that one kid who just seemed to have it all. He was athletic, good looking, well liked. Basically he was good at whatever he did with what seemed like little effort.

That kid was my brother expect that he deserved it all.
He was well liked because he was extremely kind.

He was a great athlete because he worked hard to perfect everything he was taught.
And was good at music, and everything else he tried because he had the ability to focus almost obsessively until he was satisfied by his progress.

When I am with him, he inspires me to have greater passion for the things I do and invest fully in what I care about.

Trevor was my favorite friend to spend time with throughout high school.
In college I may have not been ideal and ideal roommate, but I am grateful for the many times, almost daily that he would make me laugh and remember to loosen up.

Thanks for being such a good friend. I hope this year is a special one.

love you Trev

Spring Captured in Film!

Spring seemed to come and last only a few days before the trees went from pink and white blossoms to full green coverage.  And then came the heat.  If I had a say in how the seasons work, I think I would make winter as short as this past spring and let spring linger as long as winter did. Regardless of the length I have loved the flowers, breezy jackets, and a wonderful visit from my sis Collie and Kendra, Cyrus and adorable Atlas.

The Dominican Republic, Las Galeras and Las Terrenas

Every few weeks I go a little crazy and start to crave water. The vastness of the ocean calms me and provides a wonderful balance to the busy life in the city. 

I love the SUN

Horses in the woods

The waves at this cafe were reaching heights of more than 18 meters! The owner said that this event was one for the history books.
