girl, 21, small, short, out spoken, & usually dancing. i'm terrified of heights & outerspace.

today i did a lot of listing in my head of all that i’m thankful for. i also realized i’m one of the luckiest girls in the world. i wish i wrote that list down so whenever things get rough and rocky i can read it and remember all the good things i have going for me.
it makes me upset that people never stop and think that their life could be a short one here on earth. no one is promised a good run so stop and smell the roses once in awhile!

today i drove down to the cape to visit my folks. the purpose of my 3 hour journey was to switch cars with my dad. for those who have known me since highschool i’ve been driving my saab for almost four years now! i never thought about it before, but that just sounds like such a long time. i feel like everyone else i know goes through cars like they’re nothing. i put a lot of TLC into my little saabertooth tiger aka wasaabi (don’t judge the most perfect nicknames ever) and it has been through some rough times.
we first bought the car when we were stationed in germany in september of 1998. it has been to more places in europe during the three years we lived there than the states. it went through the roadtrip from hell in 2008 when i decided to drive down to tennesse on a whim with two friends. everything that could go wrong on a roadtrip went wrong. i’m talking about three destroyed tires, dead battery, breaking down in the bronx at 3 AM, crack in the windsheild, etc. needless to say i was pretty poor when i came home from that trip. recently i’ve had to replace the engine, the AC is gone and can’t be fixed until january. there are quite a few down sides to owning a foreign car, but the pros heavily outweigh the cons. 180,000 miles later and i’m saying my goodbyes.
basically i’m just really, really, really, going to miss this car. it’s my baby! but i guess this just means new adventures for my new car. i wonder what kind of brilliant nickname i’ll come up with this time…

a little insight to my life: MEET TESSIE ROSE.
ugh, this dog. i’m absolutely obsessed with everything and anything to do with her. just, look at her face real quick. your bones are jelly right now aren’t they? she has that effect on the general public.
on tuesday i’m driving down the cape to get my new car and this little girl will be waiting at my parents door for me and i can’t wait. for a dog she has too much personality so naturally we’re perfect for each other.

today was your typical perfect new england fall day, minus the wind. actually looking back it probably wouldn’t have even mattered! the only things that should have happened today were anything to do with pumpkins, apples, hand holding, and leaves. if i was lucky photography & music, but sometimes that’s too much to ask for.
things i did today: slept, family portrait session, slept, cheer up charlie, slept, rescheduled my senior shoot, slept, always sunny. my day went in the complete wrong direction of the way my falls usually go. hm.
