Saturday was filled with outdoor activities and I loved every minute of it! Fae and I decided to go to Crystal Cove in the morning and hike for two hours then head back to her house for some paddle boarding because we just couldn’t get enough of nature.

Sunday, as most of you know, was the Superbowl. At first I had a shoot planned for this day that ended up being rescheduled which called for a BEACH DAY! We were already planning on going to a friends to watch the game later that day so we decided to head over to Seal Beach for a little tanning, soccer, and homework in the sand. Overall it was a really enjoyable day with great friends!

LACMA

Purposefully planning my schedule to avoid Friday classes was one of my best decisions because I get a three day weekend EVERY WEEKEND which leads to more adventures! This Friday Fae, Christian, and I set off to LACMA in Los Angeles for a day filled with art. We saw breath taking photos, incredible sculptures, beautiful paintings, and more! If you’re ever in LA for a week, I definitely recommend stopping by LACMA. Also, bring some friends! It makes for a better time 🙂

Little Park Day

Little Park Day

In-between class, Fae and I explored the beautiful city of La Mirada. Today we decided to walk on a path that we’ve never taken which ended up being quite interesting. We started off by following a trail on the Biola campus that took us under a bridge where inside someone had glued or cemented rocks of some sort onto the wall and proclaimed it as the rock climbing wall. Once we went through two tunnels, we ended up in a little park surrounded by trees, a stream, and some people. We decided to walk to the very end of the trail and then come back. It was a relaxing walk and we got to explore new parts of La Mirada that we never knew existed!

What’s better than waking up at 5:30am and setting out for a sunrise hike? Absolutely nothing! Emily was visiting from Sacramento and wanted to make the most out of her time here, so she thought of the idea to go hike to the top of a mountain and watch the sunrise. As you know, I’m always down to hike but this hike in particular was stunning. You can see for yourself from the pictures!

Solo Hike

Solo Hike

01/20/16- Wednesday

When all my friends have started school and are sitting in class, I hike. I’d rather go out and explore this beautiful world than stay inside all day. This hike was well needed. It was my first solo hike. I stopped several times during the hike to listen to the birds sing and watch the cows eat grass. Once I got to the top, I laid down, stared at the sky, and took a deep breath. I enjoy those little things in life like absolute silence and the breeze sweep against my skin. Nature is such a detailed, beautiful thing and I think more people should want to spend time outside. I live for days like this.

Whenever I’m with Cait it’s an adventure no matter what we’re doing. This day we decided to be active and go on a beautiful scenic hike in Avila Beach. This hike was full of dancing, giggling, and amazing pictures. My goal is to hike more and explore nature as much as possible!

This break hasn’t been as excited as I planned due to the fact that all my friends went back to school three weeks earlier than me. So, Caitlyn was planning on heading back to San Louis Obispo on Sunday night so I packed a bag and joined her. We left around 8pm and arrived at 10pm where we unpacked our bags in the dorms and went out to socialize for the night. The next day, I went out to breakfast with Ross and then went hiking in Avila with Cait. After Cait, Ross, and I went to linner at the Pita Pit where we scarfed down our sandwiches and rushed me to the train station. I made it to my bus on time and set out for a long journey home. The bus ride to Hanford was 3 hours and then I waited 40 minutes for the final train home. I met some unique, nice people during my travels. This spontaneous, little adventure was exactly what I needed.

There’s nothing like a morning hike with your best friends before every returns to college. On this hike we experienced rain, mud slides, cows, and more. I live for adventures like these.

12/27/15-Sunday

When your friends are out of town, sick, or busy, it calls for a nice run at a park. Today I had a lot of spare time and decided to drive out of town and take a nice run with an amazing view. Despite the chilly temperate and wind, I had a spectacular time running alone and being able to openly think while enjoying God’s beautiful creations.
