Well, it's been over a year since I've made a blog entry. It's easy to get caught up in the mundane and mediocre and forget that there are treasured moments worth chronicling. It's also easy, at least for me, to keep everything to myself in my safe, introverted bubble. However, I think I may have something to offer the world, even on such a small platform and self-expression can be rewarding in and of itself.

I've also updated my PCOS blog with some of the recent health changes and breakthroughs that have been happening. Maybe it can encourage someone.

These summer days have been full of hiding in the air conditioning with Netflix, farmers markets, sitting on "my rock" by the river at work, cookouts with friends and enjoying more free time than I have in years. Trying to fill that free time productively, but more often than not I give into the Internet, haha. The last few months haven't been free of their struggles, however, but as Alex and I have faced these challenges we've only grown closer to each other and to our Savior.

Anyway, the summer is almost over and I'm ready for the change into fall. I'm ready for beautiful fall hikes, hopefully going back-packing with Alex, crisp mornings, cozy sweaters and boots. I hope I don't sounds like a typical white girl, but fall is when I feel the most alive. The summer makes me feel lazy and sweaty.. autumn is energizing. I need a recharge, a fresh perspective and October usually does the job :)
