If you follow me on instagram you might of noticed I took a little break last weekend. A very important, much needed getaway and in more ways than one I completely fell in love.
Bend, Oregon was my destination and I was greeted by gorgeous nature, fresh air, the friendliest people and two absolutely adorable deer.
My time here was spent unwinding and thinking. Sometimes in life, you just need to hop on a plane and go with the flow. Last weekend was nothing short of magical. I learned a lot about myself and want I really want in life. I realized that I had bigger priorities and I refused to settle for less. The struggles I've endured over the past few years just seemed to melt away. For the first time I was able to see a clear future for myself and it just might be filled with a closet full of boots, gloves and scarves...
Bend is a quaint city filled with humble, kind people and my heart swelled from the joy.
Look at that view. I'm not sure if it's gets better than this. The cold, crisp air felt invigorating and the nature was something I'd been craving for way too long.
I felt like a queen with a two bedroom suite (and a private hot tub) that overlooked the Deschutes River. Between the soothing sounds of the river, the crackling fireplace, the flowing wine and the great company I had, I was in complete heaven.
Friday afternoon I spotted these two beauties from a distance and on Sunday morning, before I left, momma and baby came over to say hello. I'm pretty sure I gasped from excitement! After being a city girl for so long, I forgot the simple things in life that make me happy.
