1. Julie and all her incredible amazingness
2. Huxley, especially when I throw his toy and he has to attempt leaping over me; I inexplicably laugh at this for hours and do this every day with Huxley
3. Shooting – there are few things that ever make me as happy as taking pictures. I just love creating art with a camera
4. Coffee – oh GOD COFFEE! Getting up before the sun, sipping hot coffee and reading is my heaven
5. Adventures – I love doing new things, talking to new people, strangers in line for coffee, or models we meet on the other side of the country. When I was young I was terrified of everything, and a agoraphobic for a period in my teens so as an adult I always feel like Im making up for that lost time taking in as much travel, as much adventure, as many new people as I can and Im so lucky to always have Julie with as my parter to share it all with.
6. Ok I had to add one more, Family and Friends. I moved out when I was 13 so a lot of my friends feel like my family, and absolutely are. All of them help me be a better person. Having long term friend, some for 17 years, is crucial to remind you who you really are. They are the one that will be honest with you. My younger sisters are all amazing and I love when I get to see them.
There you go 6 things. BOOM.
