trip holding your hand...

"I want to hear jazz music with my eyes closed, and dig my toes into the sand dancing. I want to climb to the summit and yell and sleep under the stars. I want to laugh my head off and play marbles and sleep in and eat croissants in bed with butter and marmalade and spill coffee and wear lace and trip holding your hand because I am listening so closely." -sabrina ward harrison

This may be my very favorite book. If you haven't read it, you should check it out on sabrina's site. I used to read and reread this book in college wishing that my messiness could sound as put together as sabrina's does. I love the above quote and the freedom she gives me to dream about even the simplest things in life. It makes me feel that the small things I love like knitting or making things for others, maybe aren't that small. I love the theme of bravery, and that it doesn't mean not being afraid, but going for it anyways, whatever the "it" may be. Read this book... i know you'll love it. Its inspiring...

So this is my new blog... i'm definitely behind in getting online and involved in the blogging world, but I'm excited to start out and share thoughts and dreams and books and encouragement with others. My husband ryan and i live in houston, texas where I am in graduate school for occupational therapy and he works recording music in a studio. We've been married three years full of adventures and I genuinely like this man more and more everyday. So hopefully this blog will be a place to share some of our journey with you.
