Song and Photograph of the Week - March 30, 2015

I survived a week in the wilderness, and hiking 32 miles! I will definitely be backpacking more in the near future! It was a lot of fun, combining 2 of my favorite outdoor activities was definitely fun! The hikes each day were fun, we got snowed on the first night, and had a small blizzard during the next day's hike. BUT so much fun! I definitely would have enjoyed the 8, 7.5 and 6 mile days more if my hip hadn't been a little angry at me. I survived though! More to come about my hike, as I get images edited I will be making a post for each day of the trip! :)

 One album I had stuck in my head the whole week was Sam Hunt's Montevallo album. You can listen to that HERE!

Here is a little sneak peek into the snow we had! :)

Song and Photograph of the Week - March 23, 2015

When this is published, I will be on a backpacking trip! A whole week out on the Pacific Crest Trail, 12 of us (PSU Outdoor Program) are hiking from Lolo Pass, in Zigzag, Oregon to The Bridge of the Gods. I am hoping to have a good time, and am looking forward to hiking 32 miles :D

I am currently listening to a new song (to me), that I heard on the radio the other day. It is country, like most of the other music I listen to in my car! But I hope some of you will enjoy it! Love Me Like You Mean It by Kelsea Ballerini

The Photograph of the week is from a hike I did with a couple of awesome girls from YoungLife! We went to Mirror Lake, I had never been there but it was beautiful. And typical of Oregon.....rainy!

Finals are over for me!!! WHOO! I am now gearing up to go on a week long backpacking trip during spring break, aka next week! Happy St. Patrick's Day :)

Do you ever hear a song, and don't really like it at first? That happened to me this past week. I heard Lay Me Down by Sam Smith on the radio and I wasn't a fan. But once I got home and listened to it again.... its been playing non-stop on my spotify :)

On Sunday, I got to go hike to Mirror lake with a couple of girls from the YoungLife club I volunteer with. I had a lot of fun hiking with them! Even though it rained :( the lake was beautiful! Wish we could have seen Mt.Hood though.

As my final papers are due this week, I am not preparing a full week of posts. I have a Gothic short story to write, and an analysis on a short story to film adaptation. :) Oh boy!

Song of the week, I heard this on the radio the other day. I have heard it several times, but never looked up what song it was! It is such a sweet song, and warning, it is country :)
Mean To Me - Brett Eldredge

I love to find rock stacks on my hikes. I've found 2 this year already! This one is from my hike at Horsetail Falls.

As I am catching up on editing all my adventure photos, I will bring back Song and Photograph of the week this week!

I assume most of you have seen the trailers for the live action Cinderella film already. One of my favorite songs on one of the versions is Aeon. It builds so nicely, I love it! Nick Murray – Aeon (feat. Juliet Lyons)

I went on a hike to the Herman Creek Pinnacles this past Saturday! It was so windy, but fun. My friend Ryan went with me, and we figured out we are both pretty clumsy :P Both of us fell at one point or another :) I captured this image on that hike. I got it how I wanted it on the FIRST try! WHOO! I loved how the sunlight was catching on the moss.
