Ages

Wow...

It's been ages since I've been back to blog world.

Sure, you can say it's my fault- it is!! There has been so much going on that it's really been more than a whirlwind...like a tornado, more like!

• school
• full time job!
• tests
• weddings
• events
• life

the usual!

Of course, there are so many things I want to incorporate in my blog...I wouldn't even know where to begin...

• writing
• art
• health
• counseling ideas
• travel
• travel tips and ideas
• events

Literally, no idea where to begin. 

I guess the beginning of the year would make sense...

We spent New Years with family...

In February, we took a little vacation:

Hit some favorite spots, like Puerto Rico^^

...and St. Thomas^^

...and St. Maarten ^^ for planespotting

and hit one new-to-us-island: Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands...

and visited the Baths^^, which was on this guys bucket list :)

There is so much more to tell!

But I have a lot to do before I jump back to work.

So, if you're reading this...

welcome back! 

i missed you!

i hope you're having a beautiful day,

a beautiful autumn,

and we'll talk soon <3

lotsa love,

kennedy space center

LML (love of my life) and I

have been to a bunch of places

over the years...

but I never thought that

the Kennedy Space Center

would turn us into such little kids.

It was awesome, and we learned so much-

I searched Port Canaveral for the Men in Black 3 scene

where they fought the alien at the end

during the rocket-take off

so there's about 100s more photos from here.

we touched a piece of the moon

met an astronaut

went into a simulated ride that's just like a rocket take off

and just really had the best time.

I highly recommend going!!

love me,

the globetrotting gamine

incredible new york

i captured.

Thanks for a lovely time, East Wind!

"Born To Run"

In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream 
At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines 
Sprung from cages out on highway 9, 
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected,and steppin' out over the line 
h-Oh, Baby this town rips the bones from your back 
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap 
We gotta get out while we're young 
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run 

yes, girl we were

Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend 
I want to guard your dreams and visions 
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims 
and strap your hands 'cross my engines 
Together we could break this trap 
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back 
h-Oh, Will you walk with me out on the wire 
`Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider 
But I gotta know how it feels 
I want to know if love is wild 
Babe I want to know if love is real 

Oh, can you show me

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard 
Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors 
And the boys try to look so hard 
The amusement park rises bold and stark 
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist 
I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight 
In an everlasting kiss 

1-2-3-4!

The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive 
Everybody's out on the run tonight 
but there's no place left to hide 
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness 
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul 
h-Oh, Someday girl I don't know when 
we're gonna get to that place 
Where we really wanna go 
and we'll walk in the sun 
But till then tramps like us 
baby we were born to run 

Oh honey, tramps like us
baby we were born to run 

Come on with me, tramps like us
baby we were born to run "

--Bruce Springsteen

Entranced

I crash in your embrace
A thousand miles
Shake me still
not a trace

Fast as the wind
Where do I begin
What else can I lend
How now shall I bend

Hold me down for a moment
How fast can I run?
See, you were not just for fun
Tranced for one moment
Treasures trace I shall leave
As I wander in need
I'll always race to bleed
And it's you
who has won This vulnerable cry;
empty and twisted
Sees you clear - pure in the misted

Morning awaiting
As your fate turns it's head
Lost in love's mourning
I empty your bed
A shell walking dead

I Watch as you sleep
I'll dance as I creep
Disappearing retreat
Leaving sorrow from heat

And what of your luck?
I remain stuck

Better worlds await your eyes
Basked in bliss sunrise
Shouldn't be a surprise
Glimpsing these gypsy eyes

I'll await my next stop
Turning turns as tears drop
Till these eyes are dry
I hold myself to die

Damage fascinates
For what can you fix?
I'll blow out like the wind
Don't even know my own tricks

Lights glowed like candles
Music fades into dust
As you reach for the empty
Spare you I must
