make a day stand out. or 3. or 300.

When we look back on our lives, what we will remember are the crazy things we did, the times we worked harder to make a day stand out. -Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years


thanksgiving 2009: grand canyon, vegas, flagstaff

hiking torrey pines then laying on the beach with my roommate on her last day in san diego

buying cheesecake for my birthday, an engagement, and a bad day

surprising will last october... i call it the "wish you were here" surprise

driving down 20. music up. windows down. just my best friend and me

going to cochran mill

bike rides from south mission to pb

trying a new recipe

making chocolate chip pancakes with my girls

letting jb choose which route to take home from school

being creative

drive in movies

walking to the store

leaving every thing i had ever known to plant a church

doing something special for someone else


i want the rest of my life to be defined by excellence. i want to love fully. better every day. i want every day to be a celebration. special. i want to pour into others what Jesus has poured into me. i want to honor Him. with everything. i want to be completely aware of the life and beauty around me. i want to take hold of life and run wild. i want to always keep my free spirit. i want to be used by my King, the one who rescued me.

if we aren't careful life does become dull, boring, and monotnous...the opposite of how Jesus wants us to live. He wants us to be fully alive. Keep make your days SHINE! :) Love you!
