//2009 In Pictures//



i guess excitement is in the realm of the expieriencer (apparently according to spell check that is not a word..too bad, it should be) but i believe I've had a pretty exciting life thus far....growing up in the paradise of Costa Rica, pristine beaches...surfing all day for weeks on end with a palm tree leaf hut as your only shelter and the starry host above as your canopy, kayaking through the rain forest (lost,with a leaky boat and crocs swimming next to you as night begins to fall), the best friends the world has to offer, fresh pineapple for under $1 as compered to the depresssing $4 pinas here in the good 'ol USA, no enforced drinking age or entrance into bars/clubs (13 yr olds in a club....come on i know i did not look 18, i didn't even try to look older...) ok so maybe that really wasnt the best thing in the world but hey i turned out ok
anyway...after the 500th person asked me what i've been up to lately i figured i'd start a blog because i'm so all over the place i can barely keep up with my self...
so here is the last year of my life in pictures to update everyone out there in cyber world-



kickin it at the Renaissance Faire with Allie with my beautiful locks i miss sooooooooo much but had to take out eventually cause apparently my hair grows SUPER fast and its not worth the time/effort to keep up with the new growth...R.I.P. locks



right before the wedding got my 4th tat...
props to KLee at Prophetic Ink in Murfreesboro, TN!!
even if i did drop a scolding hot pizza stone right out the oven onto the lotus flower (as you can see in the pic) but its ok! it healed perfectly even though i was afraid to look at my arm for 3 days cause i thought i had completely burned the tat off



july 7, 2009 married my wonderful husband jesse...
then we quit our jobs and hit the road!! (God said that after we got married to take a journey to New Hampshire....and thats what we did..we just went the long route but it was AWESOME!! trip of a life time for sure!) wayyyy to many stories for one blog...
and yes he wore shorts to our wedding, at my request


chillin in nashville with my brother and his girlfriend Lauren...i love nashville!!!! hopefully moving to east nashville sometime this year :)



Shenandoah National Park- Virginia
hiked to the top of a mountain with jesse, chad and my sis...barefoot
apparently its the new fad
good thing it was summertime




slept in the car one night in barely 30 degree weather in Jersey...i think i was delusional from lack of sleep in this picture....we had been in some crazy awesome worship sessions from10am-midnight for like a week straight and we still had about 4 weeks to go! it was crazy...but check out these awesome people we met...



New Haven, CT....fun town, cool people....ate at a Pizza Joint I saw on the Travel Channel and always wanted to go to...it was a momentous occasion in my life



ahhh yes...we made to Cape Cod, Plymouth Rock were our ancestors landed and proceeded to steal the land away from the Indians all in the name of freedom....way to go. i think that was a slightly unnecessary & over dramatic move but it wasn't my decision to make....but all in all i am grateful for my country...God put me here for a reason...




FINALLY>>>we reached our destination! The Pinnacle Prayer Mountain in New Hampshire! After all that traveling we ended up being in NH for only about a week but made some AWESOME friends and meet many people I hope to see again very soon....we shall return to the wonderful land of New Hampshire where it is 82% trees!! which means hardly any people, absolutely NO traffic and lots of beautiful unbridled wilderness...sounds like my kinda place
