RVA Days | Pole Green Church

I'm such a free-spirit and adventurer that my little heart was aching after not being able to capture the beauty that is always around me.

The night before this solo mini-adventure I had just poured my heart out to my boyfriend about how I felt like my creativity and passions were being squelched and I felt so trapped and discouraged because of it.  He sweetly encouraged me, as he always does, to do what I can now with what I have. It may seem as if I may never see my dreams come to complete fruition, but I can take small steps now to get me to where I dream of being later in life.

I've been praying lately for a clearer vision for my future and how it will incorporate the passions I've been given me.

I'm still trying to figure it out and it may take a while.  But I know my next step, and that is what I will work on for now.  Until that day comes when I am getting to do what I love full-time, I will make the most of what I have today for it is a blessing.

Adventures | Virginia Byway

Last week felt like it went on forever.  I really don't know why that was.  It was actually a really good week.

This week has started off a bit different.  I got the sick bug again over the weekend.

I am currently sitting in my bed under the covers in my mom pants and favorite sweatshirt with a cup of coffee by my side and a mess of books and clothes around me that need to be put away.  It's driving me crazy, but I can't seem to find the energy to do anything productive.  Enough of my pity party now.

My friend Bradleigh and I drove down my favorite road in Virginia to look for pretty spots for her to take some engagement pictures.  We found some great spots, and snapped a few of our own shots while we were out there.

I'm sure if I was riding along this road again with a big fuzzy blanket and a warm cup of tea, that would surely cure me of this annoying sickness that I can't seem to shake.  Anyone up for it?!

 ^^What a stunner.^^

 ^^One of the most beautiful people I know.  Inside and out.  Cheesy, but oh so true.^^

^^ "Knock, knock."  "Who's there?"  "Rodent."  "Rodent, who?"  "Rodent... I don't know."^^

 ^^Best picture of the day.  Don't worry, we didn't go past the sign.^^

Thanks Bradleigh for all the laughs, your sweet words of wisdom, and always pointing me towards truth.  You are the bestest.
