This little Dutch-Irish girl.... I love snowcapped mountains with beautiful landscapes, snowboarding, the simple things in life that can make your lips curl to a smile, hearing a song that hits you so hard that tears form in your eye ducts, the sun hitting your shoulders while you wiggle your toes into the warm sand, learning how to be a better person, seeing people express happiness through laughter, having a friend that you just can't help to feel like their blood, being in nature, learning to rock climb, breathing in life, watching smiles bounce from one person to another, seeing patterns in everything around you, and.... remembering to see the big picture.
