People, good friends and good food, traveling. hiking, sometimes i love hiking alone. Sharing things with amazing people. suprises (although i cannot keep one for the life of me). I like it when a piece of art or a song hits you like a ton of bricks. I have a suprisingly new found love of the desert which probably comes from growing up under the great big Kansas sky. I will always love the mountains, new cities, new people--but I am done moving around for awhile because i love southern appalachia.
