The year has been slipping past me faster then I like.  How the hell is it already September!!!! I guess times flies when you are having fun.  

The photos above were from my first trip to Baker Beach.  I'm ashamed to admit that I have lived in the city for nearly five years and this was my first trip out there. 

Below are a few snapshots I took while spending three days on Catalina for my best friend's bachelorette party.  I have many many photos from the trip, none of which are suitable to share on the blog:)

 

Life lately=Spending lots of time with my noise in a book(s), walking around Golden Gate Park, drinking too much coffee, staying up late, rearranging my room, and listening to the song the above.  All in all life is good.

February what a month you have been and you are not even over yet.

Highlights include:

The best Valentines Day EVER! Brandon and I have never been big on celebrating Valentines Day, so it came as a complete surprise when I came home the other day to find him in the kitchen cooking dinner.
Spending the weekend in Sacramento helping my best friend plan her wedding.
Exploring new areas of San Francisco, especially random trails to hike and make me feel as though I have left the city.
Reading and loving The Marriage Plot.
A new to me phone (thanks Liz)!!!
Walking home from work... the best way to clear my head after a daunting day.

Less exciting parts of my life:
Feeling very lonely and longing to be closer to support system  (family and friends).
Too exhausted to do anything creative...cameras and blog are getting very dusty.
Lack of motivation.  I would love to spend more time doing things I love (hiking, cooking, reading, etc) but I just don't have the drive to do anything. I think this is a sign that I need a vacation.
