My river... Path of least resistance...

This completely explains my mood right now, not necessarily the lyrics, but the feeling of the song, absolutely beautiful!




A lot has happened in the last few weeks that has made me more appreciative of the little things that we do for people, and that people do for me. 
To start... I have an incredible girl friend. She is the greatest thing that has happened to me in years and when I am with her, my river seems to take the path of least resistance and nothing else matters. She is everything to me and is easily one of the most kind hearted individuals I know. My mom tops that list along with a few others that shall remain unnamed. I LOVE her! 
I've made it a strong goal personally and secretly until now (cause I am telling you), to do all I can to be more selfless. When I am at work each day I spend all my time either driving by myself or in customers homes. Customers seem to look at me sometimes as this punk kid that doesn't know anything and I get treated pretty harsh at times. I've really learned how to hold my own and not let people walk over me and push me around. Having countless occasions of this happening, i've tried really hard to treat people in a respectable manner and in a way that creates trust. I want to be trusted and seen as a person full of integrity. This is my ultimate goal. Katie really helps me be that person, I am in no way a different person when I get around other people, I do everything I can to be the same person, regardless of who I am with. I am who I am! I can't tell you why I am writing that, but so be it. 

Tonight I spent the night with Katie, like every night! Love it. Anywho... we went climbing for the evening. After I have been home from my mission it's been really hard to have the same motivation to climb that I had before. It's been a good nine months since I was climbing on a regular basis. I did start cycling which took a good part of the climbing out of my schedule. Katie however has bought some climbing shoes and in the last five days we have been climbing twice. She had a struggle the first night we went, but tonight she "rocked"! She is starting to figure it out and I am super excited to see her get stronger over the next few months. Now if I can just get her to start cycling. Not going to make her do anything she doesn't want though. 
I find myself very happy these days, happier than I have been in YEARS!!! 

This last week after much thought, I made the choice to be part of the Provo Bridal Fair at Provo High February 19th. I've gone back and forth on doing this type of thing for over a year and it now seems like the right thing to do. Captured By Dash Photography is also now officially Captured By Dash Photography, LLC! I never thought that my passion for photography would lead into owning my own business and taking it to a professional level to support myself and my future family. It's super exciting for me and has been tons of work, completely worthwhile in every way. So Captured By Dash Photography will be an official vendor at the Provo Bridal Fair, February 19th. Im excited to get prepared for that and for the potential business it will yield for me.
