Sitting In the Car on the way Back to Seattle

Its been a long, crazy, fun, adventurous, intense, and at some points draining week. I know I have been absent from blogging lately and there is so much I would like to write about, but there just isnt enough time anymore. Im currently on my way to Seattle from the Portland area and Oregon coast. I have always wanted to come here and finally have and enjoyed almost every minute of it. The coast was beyond words and Portland I may have fallen in love with a little bit. The Columbia River Gorge was a whole other level of beauty. It always seemed that I saw something and that nothing could top it, then I was realized how wrong I was. Tomorrow I fly out and I couldnt be happier, but yet at the same time I keep wondering if I focused on being here in the moment. Will this vacation have changed me or got my mind thinking? Pictures and more details to come when I arrive home!

Here With Me by Susie Suh

We all have that song, that gets us every time we hear it. (I admittedly have more than one song like that, this is one of them.) Here are the lyrics: 

Caught in the riptide
I was searching for the truth
There was a reason
I collided into you

Calling your name in the midnight hour
Reaching for you from the endless dream
So many miles between us now
But you are always here with me

Nobody knows why
Nobody knows how and 
This feeling begins just like a spark
Tossing and turning inside of your heart
Exploding in the dark

Calling your name in the midnight hour
Reaching for you from the endless dream
So many miles between us now
But you are always here with me

Oh inside me
I find my way
Back to you
Back to you

Calling your name in the midnight hour
Reaching for you from the endless dream
So many miles between us now
But you are always here with me

Two words
In your hands
In your hearts
It's whole universe

You are always here with me

Peace&Love
