pura vida.

I've been in such a good mood today, and this is one of my favorite pictures of John that I decided to begin my post with today. First and foremost:
I'm sorry Charlotte. I owe you an apology because honestly I felt a bit of...idk what the best word is...culture shock? I did, a bit of culture shock during these past snow days because being "snowed in" in Charlotte is completely different than being "snowed in" in Boone. I was expecting a lot more of a snow life than I guess I got. I just noticed that the city kinda just puts everything on hold and stays at home. I'm just a little used to not really caring about a few inches and managing despite. Nevertheless, I do realize that Boone is better equipped than Charlotte to "Survive" the day with a few inches. I guess I just also expected to feel as captivated with the scenery in Charlotte as I would feel up in the mountains. I'm sorry, I know that was unfair. I just don't have much of a memory of Charlotte with snow since it barely happens and I guess I just referred back to my memories of snow the past few years. I just have to know that it's different. Now that everyone is slowly coming out on the streets, and businesses are back up and kids are going back to school I have felt a lot more...motivated. Today I didn't do much except run into a hell of a lot of people in random places and have fun. I looked up a lot of information in regards to what I may wanna do these next few months, mapped out my life for the next year and just kinda got inspired by a lot of things. Who knows, but I'm not complaining. I'm sticking to my resolutions and I have my friends that will always redirect me if I try to run away from them. For now, I have a busy day tomorrow so I am going to shower (since I've been at the Y all day) and go to sleep with Harry.

I'll leave you with the prettiest things I've seen all day. This is for you, Natalie.
