our trip! part ii. & a bit of rambling…

little moments from our trip: a nest found on one of our walks, blown weeds against the cool blue of the river, a perfect scarf worn by one of luke’s younger brothers, the thickest fog i’ve seen, a new friend who greeted us at our cabin, & a dried leaf very similar in character to {this} birch wood found on our last trip with the family.

i miss the quiet of that trip, but it is also nice to be back into the schedule of classes. i feel a little restless, though. life has been so full lately. when it is not full, i feel like something is missing. i think my response, rather, should be to relax during those times of quiet.

i have had a lot of ideas & thoughts swimming around in my head recently. thoughts about…
+ where life will lead us
+ how to regularly exercise my creative talents in hopes of becoming a better “artist” or “photographer” or “hobbyist” or whatever you would like to call it.
+ ways to better spend my morning. if you have thoughts on this, let me know. i’d love to hear how you spend your mornings & the ways you relax before beginning a new day.
+ what kind of mother i will be. this is weird for me because luke & i do not want to have children for awhile, but still, i continually wonder about how we will raise our babes & the decisions we will make. this might be due to the hours of reading in my child development class, but who knows!
+ ways to spend less money. i realize that above i wrote about feeling “restless” & the need for life to feel “full,” but i hope to get over this… & quick! i’d like to work less & make more, plan more, grow more. i’ve decided to not purchase anything but necessities (food basically) for the next month. there are so many ways to stretch our budget! i must research these ideas…

anyway, i hope you enjoyed a bit of my ramblings. sometimes its nice to just write. not edit. simply record my thoughts.

thanks for reading, friends.
