I actually saw this once, when I was a teenager. I was at girls camp, sleeping beneath the stars and couldn’t figure out what I was seeing. It was so beautiful but unlike anything I’d ever seen before. Some girls thought the world was ending.

Anyways, the next morning we were told it was the northern lights. Ever since, I’ve wanted to see them again but haven’t.

It’s one of those things that I know I should be doing but constantly make excuses not to. It’s not going to be easy for me…I’ve struggled with this in the past…but, deep in my heart, I know it must be done.

I’m a new stay at home mom and usually just stay at home during the day with my daughter. My husband is really good about getting us out of the house on the weekends and a few times in the evening after work but I’d like to start venturing out during the day with my girl.

It’s just soooo hard right now. She’s crawling but not walking, she weighs 23 pounds (95th percentile) so she’s not light to carry. We live in the Seattle area so it rains all the time and we’re new to the area so I don’t really have anyone to go see. But I don’t care, I need to start getting out more…even if that is just driving around.
