Deuces 2018. Happy New Year! 🍾 I rang it in with sparkling cider, my babe, and a couple of strangers in a hot spring under the shooting stars. One of these strangers asked us “What do you want for 2019?” They were genuinely interested. It threw me off. I thought “More authentic connections and real conversations like this.” 🙏 I’m thankful to live in a world where we can so easily find and connect with like-minded people from around the world, right through our phones. But sometimes, we’re so busy trying to reach out to others online that we miss opportunities to talk to the people right in front of us! 📱 I know I’m contradicting myself by writing this on my phone 😆 but one of my hopes for the new year is establishing deeper relationships, and putting my cell down more to allow new people with new ideas enter my life. ✨ • • Here’s a drone shot of the boyfriend and I establishing a deeper connection on New Years morning. 😉💋 It was 6 degrees and all our other clothes were wet and icy from soaking here at midnight, so we decided to just pose by the springs fully clothed this morning. ☃️ Not jumping in again “for the gram”. 😂🙅♀️ My @sorelfootwear boots, @marmot jacket and snow pants kept me extra warm — especially while sleeping in our truck here on NYE! 😬 • • • • • #travertinehotsprings #bridgeportca #hotsprings #newyear #happy2019 #californiaadventure #visitcalifornia #easternsierras #northerncalifornia #outdoorbloggers #femaletravelbloggers #mountaingirls #outdoorwomen #wildernessbabes #earthgirllifestyle #womeninthewild #womenwhohike #MtnChicks #girlgetoutside #forceofnature #newyears2019 #djimavicair #sorel #marmot #outdoorblog (at Travertine Hot Springs) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsHM7GVFGvW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2l048wa72z83
