This is a tribute to all those photos that I have wanted to post but never have. A majority of these are from my summer vacation. Like the photo above where we fed ground squirrels at a rest stop in Idaho.

White rock BC, Canada is absolutely beautiful. We went paddle boarding in the ocean which was amazing. There were seals swimming around when we were paddle boarding. Which was pretty awesome in itself, but when you have a deep fear of falling into the ocean and being devoured by the little carnivores, its not too exciting when its actually happening.

Yellowstone National Park.

It was beautiful. Even though half of the forest was burned down, it was still breathtaking. We saw about a thousand - give or take a few - buffalo. It wasn't Yellowstone National Park itself that made our trip amazing though, we traveled from Tennessee to British Columbia Canada. It took a week, but it was an amazing week. That is where all these photos came from. One week of road tripping.

 

I am definitely not posting these photos in order. Oops. I guess I like to live on the dangerous side of life. We went to St. Louis, and visited the Gateway arch. I rode this little tiny claustrophobic inducing capsule, that took me straight to the top. The sun was setting when I was up there, so I was incredibly happy.

I guess I just want to reminisce about happy times of last year. Photos of incredibly good times, that make me smile. Just because of the laughter I remember.

You should let go of the past, but you should only let go of the darkness and negativity. Because in the future, when you are experiencing difficult times, you can look back and remember how you did have dark times but they always ended up okay. And you will be okay. And pain doesn't last forever. And things may not be perfect, but they are okay. And okay can be amazing.
