Noah and the Whale - 5 Years Time

And though it's nearly all these moments

Are just in my head

I'll be thinking 'bout them as I'm lying in bed

And I know that it nearly that it might not even come true

But in my mind I'm havin' a pretty good time with you

Laying here trying to fall asleep, I realized Worth is 18 months old today.

I looked through my phone for a picture to post, I only took one in the past several days - him on the couch today with his sweet friends Maylie and Lydia, holding his lovey, and unable to look away from the TV.

At first I was angry at myself for not taking more pictures, I wanted something better than a crappy iPhone photo to commemorate this milestone, but then I was happy of myself. Instead of capturing life, I've been busy living it.

And it is so, so good.

Ryan Adams - Let it Ride

Let it ride

Let it ride easy down the road

Let it ride

Let it take away all of this darkness

Let it ride

Let it rock me in the arms of strangers, angels until it brings me home

Let it ride

Let it roll

Let it go

If you read my last post, you're aware that BJ turned 30 last {a couple of) weeks ago. We had that party, and then we had this trip. {Seriously, Babe, the bar is set. Better get to work, you've only got 2 years to plan...}

BJ and I hadn't had a vacation since before Worth was born, and we hadn't seen our California friends since we left California. It was the a perfect double-whammy.

We took beautiful {if horribly uncomfortable} drives up the coast, had some fun on ATVs {and debates about what their proper name is}, had some self-timer photo fun, we stargazed, sunbathed, boogie boarded {ish}, sun-setted, fished {ish}, built {smashed} sandcastles, kissed, and generally loved life.
