Big Splash At Ka'ena Point Beach

Ka'ena Point Beach - Lovely!

 The beach at Ka'ena Point is white and lovely, with a steep slope down to the water. It's mostly a Locals spot, a well-kept secret we've been let into. My mom and I planned to snorkel, the only problems were the monstrous waves pummeling the beach. Somewhat daunted by the waves, we were still game to try, so we grabbed our gear and stepped into the water.

Last semester I suffered from the most severe depression I've ever experienced. I'm usually the type of girl that is down one day and up the next. I'm normally on the proverbial roller coaster.

Spatulas and Scavenger Hunts: A Very Merry Christmas

Christmas at my house is about spending all day together, something that seems to rarely happen on ordinary days now that we're all going in different directions. We have Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve so that we don't have to cook, and make up our breakfast casseroles the night before so we can just pop them in the oven. This year Mom and I did most of the cooking together, and I learned how to make from-scratch rolls. They are to die for, I'm just saying. So, it's about spending all day together, and also eating really, really well. We're a family of foodies, what can I say?

Crunching Leaves

"Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.” - Greg Anderson

I'm cruising down a path, surrounded by the jewel tones of autumn; vibrant oranges, glowing golds, flaming reds. I'm in the middle of a loud silence- grasshoppers rustling in the drying grass, the breeze crackling through the trees, and yellow leaves crunching beneath my tires, tick-tick-tick-tick. This is the unique symphony of Utah in the Fall.
