Abundant Life

North Myrtle Beach

Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe it's 2016! Where has the time gone? The fam jam and I just got back from a vacation to North Myrtle Beach. It was gorgeous and we sure lucked out on the weather! Here are just a few photos from our time there.

Ryder...he's a strange dog....

Flaming Amy's Burrito Bar! Great Mexican food.

Loved having the beach as our backyard for the week.

Sparklers on the beach!

Wishing you all a wonderful 2016. Don't be afraid to set goals. We have a fresh start. A new chance. I pray that you don't waste this opportunity and that this year (if you haven't already) start living your life to the full. You are capable of so much more than you believe and give yourself credit for.

Farmers Market

Going to the farmers market on the weekend is one of our favourite things to do. Especially this time of year. The abundance of fresh food and the bright colours are so inspiring.

The best part of our trip to the market this time was meeting Maria. I had seen her last year selling her grapes and admired the character in her hands and the cheerfulness she had about her job.

Last years photo.

This year we stopped to talk to her and find out a little about her. We told her she was beautiful and her hands are too. She asked us to touch them and feel how rough and calloused they are from years of hard work.

She found it funny that we thought she was so beautiful but she posed for a picture anyways.

Try to talk to as many people as you can. It can be scary to step out of your comfort zone but there are so many interesting stories to hear. You can learn something from everyone.

Lake Placid

Hey! Hope you all have had a great summer! I know I sure did.

Sorry for not posting anything for almost 3 months. I was away working at a camp all summer (except for this one week) and had no access to a computer the whole time. I'm back now and here are some photos of my trip to Lake Placid, New York!

We had this great idea to roll into town and conquer hiking the highest peak in all of New York state the very next day.

Look out Mt. Marcy!

>>><<<

Our trek started out with a 5:30am wake up call and then a drive to the Adirondack Hiking Lodge to start hiking at 6:30am. There were 9 of us on this expedition and we were moving at a fast steady pace.

Indian Falls

We had great weather for the first 3.5 hours however the last half an hour push to the top was a struggle. As soon as we came above the tree lines the rain came down on us. The cold wind picked up and we were certainly disappointed when we made it to the summit around 10:30am and we had no view.

I'm at the top of a mountain! Can you tell?

Just when we'd almost given up hope the clouds started to blow over and....

...the most gorgeous view appeared before our eyes.

Stopped at Indian Falls on the way down.

28km - 5344ft - 9 hours and 39 minutes - through wind, rain and sun

With one day of rest in between we set out to hike Avalanche Pass.

Apparently I'm the only one that packs a dress in my hiking bag for a photo shoot.

Climbing up cliffs for good shots.

Lake Placid is such a diamond in the rough kind of place. A great spot for all of you outdoors and nature minded folks; and for those looking for a great adventure.

Live life to the fullest.
