Dear Loved Ones,
This blog was created as an assignment while studying abroad in Germany my junior year of college. It was a wonderful way to document my experience while also including my family and friends in my travel. Bundled up and searching for the words that would inevitably fail to truly express all that I was experiencing, I would look up to find my best friend Lisa doing the same on her bunk, and I would be re-inspired. We were living one of our greatest dreams.
Fast forward 8 years, I find myself living my ultimate dream without a healthy platform to document my memories, or share my heart. There are simple things to remember, pictures to save, and thoughts to be sorted. For too long my mind has been diluted by the instant gratification of social media. A one liner robot has been threatening to replace someone who use to love the challenge of formulating more then just a status update. It has taken me A HOUR to write what I have up to this point! Where is the face palm emoji when I need it!?! Haha!
I use to be a good listener. If I'm honest, there was a certain pride in being the type of person that my friends would come to because they knew that I would truly hear them. Now there are days that I don't see or talk to another adult until David comes home in the evening. I treasure being with Addison and Dodson, so I say this with a thankful heart. BUT it would be wonderful to not feel the need to apologize to my husband after an evening with friends because I didn't let him get a full sentence in the entire evening! :)
So here I am, working the cobwebs out of my mind, creating some adult thoughts, and attempting to clear the superficial haze that I have allowed to sum up my life. I don't know what each post will look like, or how often I will come to write, but hopefully this outlet will alleviate the impulse to spend so much time scrolling through Facebook and Instagram.
Until next time here are some cute pictures from a beautiful park we happened upon while running errands this morning:

| I love the way the sun shines through her long hair. |
 |
| Dodson sure has walking down. |
 |
| He is so independent and likes to have his own space, but loves to cuddle when he is in the mood :) |

Ahhh that's better!
Thank you for reading!
Love,
Heather Dawn
