Whatever dreams you're dreaming, May each one of them come true. Whatever plans you're making, May they all work out for you. And may you have more happiness Than any words can tell. Not only on this day, But all the year as well. May you have a little sunlight to guide you on your way. May you discover, little by little, happiness that's here to stay. May you grow a little stronger and a little wiser with each dawn May you have a little time to believe in dreams to dream upon May all the joy your heart desires find its way to you. And may the blessings that brighten up your days keep on shining through. -Author Unknown

beautiful things.

one day i realized how many beautiful things I see each day so I decided to  keep a journal called the beautiful things journal.
So the past 12 months every time i saw something beautiful I wrote about it. there is no way i could ever share everything beautiful I have seen this past year 

so for now i want to share a few excerpts of the beauty i have seen the past year because focusing on the beauty is the greatest hope we all have.

"This is beautiful from the top looking down it is flawless the horizon is steady and never ending i want this to be me forever."

"the mossy rocks and crashing waves are the perfect touch to a chilly afternoon I can not fully describe what it is like to be this happy. one day your soul if earning for something and the next day it is right next you and you never have to leave it again."

"the sun shines perfectly through my fingers and even though I try to block the sun rays they refuse to stop kissing my face, now this is beautiful."

"the railroad was never ending, the trees were taller that i could see, then above this all the sky was blue, the sun was shinning, walking down the middle of the tracks was perfect."

"as i looked up i realized how small and insignificant i am, in the most beautiful way possible. the freezing water no longer feel cold and within, my soul is on fire, i wish i could freeze this moment forever."

"he was wearing his new vans caring a longboard and pulling my suitcase, i couldn't hold back my tears because this moment was so tender i realized how much I loved my dad and how he is the best person i know."

"the creamsicle sky quickly is turning into a coral that I would be hypnotized easily by."

"fog consumes the top of the mountain then when it is about to hit the water it vanishes, the color of the rocks is perfect, the crystal water is mesmerizing, the smell of salt,  the sound of the seals, and the chilly air nips at my nose, i think i need to live here"

"the view from this rooftop is unforgettable, the way people scurry on every corner, the way the fog never leaves the bay, i never want to leave this golden city."

"there is something about the sound of their laughs that will always keep me coming back for more. laughs are beautiful."

"then as i was trying to swim to the surface all i could find was foam, i was tossed and turned in every way possible then for a second i just let the waves take my body exactly where they wanted to take me.. thats when i found the surface. Sometimes we need to stop fighting against the current."

"they walked out of the doors and this is when i knew that everything would be alright, everything would be perfect, because love leads to perfection."

"the way a smile can create perfect lines around eyes send chills up my spin, across my body, and melts my heart slowly."

"..because the water rippled perfectly to the shore line and shaped the sand into perfect peaks and valleys, we felt like mermaids."

"it's not until you look up at the island from the wave that you realize you are literally riding on top of the world. there is a rush a excitement and peace that overcomes every part of your body"

watching the fog consume the bay

i love the fog, the cyprus trees, the chilly winds 

and crystal clear water.

i love the cloudy skies, the smooth pebbles, 

and the birds over head.

I love the way the wind chills my face.

Northern California has my heart.

"We would be together and have our books and at night be warm in bed together with the windows open and the stars bright."

Happy Wednesday

Perfect June.

Sorry for the overload of pictures.

I just can't get over this month with my family.

I spent the last week and a half in hawaii with my best friends.

I came home.

Turned Twenty.

Blew out candles.

Threw pennies into fountains.

Wished on some shooting stars.

Threw glitter in the air.

Went to a lot of bridal showers.

Watched some killer sunsets that may or may not have rivaled sharks cove.

Took endless truck rides with my bestie.

Carnival-ed it up.

Watched some fireworks.

Made some American Flag shorts miss you kaikai.

Basked in the St. George Heat.

Did yoga with my girl.

Threw some painty water ballons.

Slid across my kitchen table covered in shaving cream.

(Ya my dad totally did with us)

Drew with sidewalk chalk.

Finger painted the fence.

Hit Pinatas full of popcorn.

Played on rope swings.

Took those lovely summer bike rides.

and

Then threw all the rest of my time into cooking.

It's Summer Love.

Thank you for creating perfection.

xoxo,

Nich
