{ island hopping }

holy moly: Jeff and I just got back from Maine late monday night and are currently up in the air on our way to europe (wahoo for our second red-eye).  Maine was amazing.  I know I've talked about Maine before here but this trip was a bit more special: we were up there all week boating, sailing, eating, drinking and of course spent quality time with some of our best friends but more importantly we witnessed their marriage!  I lugged my computer and other electronics up with us and turns out none of them worked.  there is no wifi up there or a starbucks to run to for wifi.  talk about being present.  it was something I needed and enjoyed so much.  see you all in france! xxoo

| reflecting + getaway |

+ the cutest little print

i promise i won't get back into falling off the face of the earth due to work.  work has mentally drained me so late last week jeff and i went and bought a tent then a few days ago we bought ourselves stand up paddle boards.  both of these purchases will offer a getaway.  yesterday while i was paddling along the lagoon at sunset i felt so...as cheesy as it may sound...alive.  we separated ourselves from this crazy world; connected without technology and just enjoyed the moment.  We can't wait to take our tent to who knows where and just ground ourselves with nature and life.  I often times forget to take a step back to just be still and breathe.  So I'm sorry I haven't blogged in almost a week, love you guys and appreciate your support; I'm working on my balancing act. xxoo
