OC

I arrived in Orange California after a 6 1/2 hour drive from Monterey. The time flew, the wine vineyards were green on hwy 101 and the temperature continually increased from 59 to 100 when I hit Thousand Oaks.

Anticipating seeing 4 of my best friends made the drive that much easier. When I arrived at Lisa’s in Orange, she had a picture I took of them last year in Cambria.

They are my sisters & earth angels, this weekend we are celebrating Grace’s engagement, and I could not be happier for her.

Happy Friday!

Music Monday | Future of Forestry

Happy Monday everyone!! There’s nothing like a fresh new love song to start your week. Here are the lyrics to today’s featured song “You” by Future of Forestry

You

You are a promise
You are a song
Smooth like a waterfall
A sea in the calm

You are the summer
You are the sun
You are the desert plain
Where the wild horses run

I want you to know
You’re the first thought
I want you to know the grace you’ve made of
I want you to feel
That you’re my dear, o-o-oh,
And I want you to know

Deep as a valley
Sweet as a stream
Dark as a storm cloud
And bright as a dream

You are the summer
You are the sun
You are the desert plain
Where the wild horses run

I want you to know
You’re the first thought
I want you to know the grace you’ve made of
I want you to feel
That you’re my dear,
Oh oh,
And I want you to know
