express yourself.


as fall has been settling in, i have begun dreaming of all the things it means. besides making coffee way more enjoyable since it is cooler, here are some other things i am excited for:
-football then hockey
-college basketball!!
-holidays
-pretty colors
-wearing layers
-boots
-warm blankets & good books
-family
-pace of life slowing because people aren't out as much
-brisk walks & cool porch sitting
-apples
-pumpkin donuts & cider
-renewed sense of commitments & goals
-candy corn
-Pumpkin Spice Lattes
-smelly fall candles
-holiday movies: i.e. - Planes, Trains & Automobiles, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Home Alone & Elf

and most importantly...
SNOWBOARDING!

gah. i made the mistake of writing a paper on snowboarding for class recently. now it's all i can think about! i just got the fall/winter Burton catalog and it is just full of so much goodness. and snowboarder magazine's photo issue - too much. i am excited to push myself this year. i want to try doing jumps this year and especially want to jib as soon as snow comes!

i have never been huge on working out. give me a game and i'll gladly play it, but tell me to run on a treadmill and i'll kick your shins. i would always play pick-up basketball throughout college whenever i got stressed or bored, but with knee problems that kind of fizzled out in the last few years. while snowboarding is not maybe the best alternative, it is mine. 
bundle up, put my headphones in and ride.

i have been putting together my boarding playlist instead of doing school:
1. Electrify by Mutemath
2. Go by Avalanche City
3. Radioactive by Imagine Dragons
4. Up, Up & Away by Kid Cudi
5. One More Night by Maroon 5
6. Gold on the Ceiling by The Black Keys
7. Bleeding Out by Imagine Dragons
8. Guilty Filthy Soul by AWOLnation
9. Helena Beat by Foster the People
10. Every Day by Girl Talk
11. The Fighter by Gym Class Heroes
12. I Want You Back by Jackson 5
13. Spotlight by Mutemath
14. Lonely Boy by The Black Keys

praise God for making seasons, snow, good music and terrain that can be played on.
until then - longboarding!
