Monster Mash

Trick for Treat 2010. My adorable and fantastic group of young gymnasts killing it in their costumes.

There's a story each season tells.

Its official.
There's something about fall that feels magical.

Boo-riffic!

"Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,
Voices whisper in the trees, “Tonight is Halloween!”

My absolute favorite day of each year.

Mega Jump.

This is a clip one of my closest and most valued friends had sent me of their
Mega Ramp jump at this years XGAMES. Talk about inspirational. The things that
you are able to accomplish given the right mindset, drive and passion. He proves
with each day that anything that is impossible, just may be possible. Thanks so much
Chad for being such a crazy and bad ass supporter of my dreams.

New Addition. Demon Kota

He's a Rescue. Adopt the ones that need your love the most. Home sweet happy pooch.

Roots.

There's this small town smack dab in the middle of Central PA. I call it home. As others may call a death trap in disguise (which, I am not going to argue), Its gorgeous. A small slice of heaven, a simple town. I can't say I will ever go back to stay because, I am so excited to see where I go from here on out.

Summer Skin

Summer came and went. I slough off my summer skin. There was bliss in this summer,
things I will never forget. It was a time of creating memories with people who will
inevitably leave footprints in my heart for the rest of my life. I'm eternally grateful.
So long, sweet summer.

Things change. But, you're still blessed.

A great weekend. Porch Party 2010. You come out revamped and a completely different person. Xo.

If I could sum up the amount of laughter of this whole extravaganza of a weekend - I would. But, honestly, that's really stating the impossible.

Rebirth. Or, at least full of Hope for one.

In the past 24 hours, I have been thrown into a different mind of thought. I am grateful for this flood of emotion to come to my realization. So, this is it kids, as i referred to it when 2010 hit, rebirth, I'm still going balls out.
Here's to looking to hopeful new stomping grounds come sooner than later. Xo

Eat. Pray. Love

Just sharing a little taste of this delicious book. I recommend if you have not read it, you do, more than once. I am on my third round. Ha. I enjoy my books, more than you'd know.

"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master..."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. I can choose how I'm going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark. If we truly knew all the answers in advance as to the meaning of life and the nature of God and the destiny of our souls, our belief would not be a leap of faith and it would not be a courageous act of humanity; it would just be... a prudent insurance policy."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"we must take care of our families where-ever we find them."

Friends are INSPIRation.

Ok so, I may not be surrounded by the ones that are closest to me on a daily basis, but, as we grow apart, we grow together all the same, so what!?

Free hugs & love to Matos & Chad. You two have shown me true friendship, and for that, I am eternally thankful & grateful. I will always be there for the both of you, regardless of the circumstances.

Side note, Congratulations Chad on taking 2nd place (On Vert) @Chicago Dew 2010. I'm so very proud of you and your accomplishments.

Sky is the limit boys (Sorry may, Stole your photo op)!

Good Omen

Vice: My seemingly obvious obsession with Social Distortion. And its not even my License Plate.

Dot. Dot. Dot.

There's beauty in the simple.

Writing my own symphony

Popping my Blog Cherry. Throwing my own edited pictures of myself out there.
I am a force of nature, naturally.

Antic

"an attention-drawing often wildly playful or funny act or action", its been said I follow that definition well. As do my little gymnasts.

Life does happen, unfortunately for you, blog.

It may be a statement meant for PNC Bank, yet, It simply empowers my lifestyle currently. Throwing myself out there, balls out. Achieve. Try and keep up.

I swear. I'm not ignoring you, my dear blog.

Its just that.. I'm BUSY (and taking pictures!) :) See you soon (when I decide to upload the herd of photos I've got)

Use for Back up.

I write myself inspirational note cards and carry them around. Nerdy? Oh yes, extremely.
You should totally try it.

Kids?

She's a beauty to watch each week. Miss Maren Grace. No. She's not mine. ha Some day though, I'm going to make one steller mauh.

Architecture

Concrete vs Steel. The battle is on. I feel that way almost every single day Me vs Myself. Its always a twisted duel. Yet - the better part of me will always prevail.

Beauties all lined up.

I think I have a bike fetish. Idk?

Need I apply?

Apparently the "Crazy (English) House" is located on 34th and Market. Mental note made.

What about cars?

Junk Yard. Vintage Beauties. How i'd like to get under their hoods - shit.
