Hi! It’s been a while.

It’s my birthday! It’s days like these where you can’t help but to spend your entire workday (other than eating cupcakes) daydreaming about how another year has flown by and how much has changed over that course of time.

Let’s think about it. One year ago, I was touring the country with two boxes of personal belongings, a camera, and about 40 bucks to my name. I was a bit nervous about the fact that I was attempting to move to San Francisco with only those 40 bucks to my name. However, when I am determined to do something, I always somehow pull it off, so I put the worries aside for a night to drink tequila with Tim, Bowerbirds, Megafaun and Huggins in a hot tub in the Arizona desert. It was a good birthday.

I’ll be having a relatively unadventurous birthday this year – I’ve spent the workday in my office, and I’ll spend my night drinking beers on the back porch of a bar in the Mission with friends. No hot tubs (I may be speaking too soon), no tour, no parties in random states. I’m actually kind of okay with that.

I have an incredible job, with a salary, that I enjoy. I have stability. I have a roof over my head and a jungle yard. I have an amazing dude who I go on adventures with. I have awesome friends who I go on adventures with. I live in a rad city with an exhaustive amount of things to do and eat and see. I drink less. I eat better. I sleep better. I’m healthier physically and mentally. Things have changed and, while I miss the ridiculous adventures and stories from the road, I wouldn’t change what I’m building for a minute.

That said, I need to post more!!! And I promise I’ll start posting more soon.

I have so much to write but I won’t get too ranty. For now, I’ll just post some photos from my recent adventuring.
