this weekend was just what i needed!

rolling in the deep

such a fun weekend of baseball, friends, dancing, and dressing up.

and this afternoon is the perfect follow-up.

rainy weather has the potential to make me emotional, but when paired with a little coffee and this...

...it's a guaranteed success.

just livin' the life

some photos of the mission

the things this wall said made me smile for some reason

and humphrey slocombe. delight.

what flavors, you ask?

coffee and beer.

classic jordan, i'd say.

someone like me

my precious friend michael shared this song with me, and it's now playing on repeat as i make dinner in my apartment...

i've been a long time kings fan, but this cover is just insanely delicious.

yet another wonderful weekend {so far} with some amazing people. my heart feels so full. and i'm preparing for a night in the city, which is always a worthwhile occasion :)

we have so much to feel good about

via happy things

so glad that today has arrived :)

love has a mind of its own

i saw a tshirt today that looked like one of those magnets you put on the fridge. you know, the one that says, "today i'm feeling...," and you put a frame around the face that matches your mood.

something i've seen a million times, but in that split second after i saw the shirt, the concept suddenly took on a whole new meaning.

ugh...life.

i love how my friends and i (and the rest of the universe) are constantly trying to figure it out, and yet i think the only conclusion we can really come to is that...it's crazy.

some days i set out to conquer, to be a champion, to show life who's boss.

and some days i just try to make it through, to keep my head above water.

and it never ceases to amaze me just how many feelings can exist within me, one simple girl, on any given day.

today i'm feeling...

free

hopeful

loved

broken

completely freaking scared

alone

lucky

alive

umm...

i'm gonna need a bigger frame. 

i'm goin' back home to the west coast

"life is paradise for those who love many things with passion."

-leo buscaglia

been a long time

do we have to talk about where i've been? can we just move forward, knowing that i am here bc i love you, blog world. at this point in life, i am clinging to the things that bring smiles to this face of mine, and so...here i am.

i recently worked on a project for school (kind of), though it may have been more of a project for life. wanted to share some of the highlights with you...

"...and I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws..."

"...and may you have power to understand...how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is"

"...and such we are"

i will catch his warm stare, on our island in the blue bay

so...the last two tuesdays have given me a little bit of inspiration.

i'm thinking about what i want to do with my summer. i'm already loving my time off- way too much, in fact. i can already tell that august really is going to be a wicked month for me, as i will be forced to return to school. wait! wait! wait! i'm getting ahead of myself... the theme of this post is

summer.

via heart like twigs

and today i'm setting some summer goals. here we go:

1.

first and foremost.

attend as many dance classes as possible

{tuesday hip hop in the city- favorite, zumba, more hip hop, and i'd be lying if i said that the tease class didn't peak my interest...just saying.}

2.

beach it up

{stinson, dillon, bolinas, and perhaps some new discoveries?}

3.

kayak

{one of those things boy and i talk about doing, but have yet to actually pursue}

4.

read

{edna o'brien has really got my attention right now, it might be fun to have a themed summer featuring one author, yes? although i really do want to read eat pray love. i bought it like 3 years ago, and never got around to it, but after seeing the movie preview, i really feel compelled to read it. something that i find totally lame by the way. i wish i would've read it 3 years ago instead of now, when every twenty-something female in the country will be reading it. is it stupid for me to feel that way?}

5.

immerse myself in major league baseball

{you knew it was coming. i'm sorry, i just love it so much. i really need to call the cable company so that i don't have to go to a brewery or at&t park every time i want to watch a game}

6.

get my apartment in order

{not just livable. not just clean. home.}

7.

get a pedicure

8.

eat/drink my mila

{whole raw food, sooo good for me. just do it, jordan.}

9.

get some girl friends

10.

and this is a biggy,

forward my time, energy, thoughts, and heart into my life.

{be fully invested in all that i have going on. in marin. in my apartment. at my job. when i work out. when i adventure. not just floating through life, but passionately enjoying all that i get to do.}

so that's the plan. and i have just one thing to say to myself in this pursuit: get it.


{ps.}
umm...hello? where is my head? as i was reading through my friends comments, i realized that i forgot to ask what YOUR summer goals/plans are??? please share!
