"Because when you Stop and Look Around

Besides getting Mono this summer I've been slacking on my summer goals, which makes me sad.

And the alarming part is, summer is halfway over!

I think I'm in a stage of mourning...my last summer as a kid. No job, no bills...

But at the same time I'm really excited to progress and discover new things about myself as I head into my Senior year of high school.

But still...I'm really scared.

But excited. And happy.

And confused.

Meet Rachel...We like to get dressed up, drive around, and take pictures.

It's one of the many things I love about her.

Because taking pictures sort of makes me really happy.

Oh and Mono...

Sucks!

Steck fam reunion went down this last weekend.
Even though the weather wasn't stellar, we still enjoyed our time in Seaside and the greater Portland, Oregon area.
Nat and Shawn tagged along. And a shout out to shawn for snapping half these pics!
Way to go BRO!
Country/pop/indie/rock music, fatbooth app, white water rafting, and road trippin' were the highlights for me.

Love these two to death.



Took a pit stop in Astoria and decided to check out some of the local attractions.
The House where 'Goonies' was filmed.
Almost thought about doing the "truffle shuffle."

We decided to switch things up this year.
A relaxing day in Seattle until the Gas Works fireworks show later that night.
It was crowded but soooo amazing.
The fireworks were incredible.


'Fly me to the Moon' song played while the fireworks lit the sky with planets! awesome.
Bored waiting for the show to start...
