déjà vu.

 {image source watercreek.tumblr.com}

this is sort of the way my life is feeling right about now {déjà vu, not like a dream catcher rv park}. i'm sure it has something to do with me not being an adult and taking steps into positive and responsible directions...or maybe it's not my fault, right? right. anyway. it's a tiny bit scary, being in this strange, repetitious phase of life. satisfying yet unsatisfying all at once, and almost dream like. it's almost as if i've stepped away and just zoned out a little too long, you know?

before this gets too new age...

the real point of this post is to put some sweet little tunes together. i've been loving old music {ok, that's nothing too new} a lot lately, particularly older country. is alabama even considered old yet? reagardless of the vintage-ness of these songs, they seem more than perfect for the warm days that are already making up these texas weeks.

here ya go, have a listen:

sleep in a teepee, check.

last week, cameron and i took a trip to marfa. you've probably heard of it. in fact, you've probably even been there. i feel like we are some of the last people to place our boot soles on marfa soil, but we sure did have an awesome time. we stayed at el cosmico in a teepee (!!!). it was so primitive...minus the whole electric outlet/mattress thing. fine. sleeping in a furnished teepee wasn't exactly roughing it. still, i'm an indoor plumbing kind of gal so it was a challenge in its own way. anyway. we had a blast exploring the little town of marfa on a couple of rented bikes. marfa was the epitome of a west texas town; it had lots of stars, dust, and charm.

 {serious bike skills^^}

we did run into some issues finding places to eat...almost everything was closed! i guess monday isn't marfa's best day. we were so excited to finally come across a place called future shark. the food was great and the lounge had a neat atmosphere.

{catch ya later, teepee! and bright, bright sun...}

i had such a great time in marfa. we spent our second day exploring terlingua and big bend, which i will post about as soon as i can find time to break away from my current obsession with bates motel. geez, i forget how addicting television shows can be. {*cough* true detective *cough*} i really want all of these great shows to get out of my way so that i can go camping. i got a little sleeping-under-the-stars itch out west.  

oh, and if these pictures don't look like they were taken with an iPhone, it's because they weren't taken with an iPhone! i finally caved and splurged on a camera and i simply love it so far ;) 

quarter life advice.

{food for thought, eh?}

in case you haven't heard...i turned 25 very recently! and this is what i'm taking as my most helpful advice so far. you should take it, too.
