My dear boyfriend Ryan is from a beautiful town in the Pacific Northwest called Puyallup. Wet year round and so green. We've had a great time so far reminiscing about Ryan's childhood and the crazy karate moves him and his brother Drew used to preform on a regular basis. I'm so fortunate to visit an amazing family and to see such beautiful and inspiring landscape. Real life starts back up on Sunday and needless to say I could stay here at least a few more days(weeks). See you soon life! Ps On Deck May 3rd 5-10pm! Be there, be square, be circle, I don't care!
Lots of love!
A.

ON DECK 8, I have always wanted to take part in this event, and this year I got my chance! Today was the deadline to have our art pieces (decks) back at Edge of the World skate shop here in Missoula,(I'm a known procrastinator.) Each year the Montana Skatepark Association puts together an auction where they send out these blank skate board decks to artists so that they can use them to create an art piece which is then auctioned off and the money that is raised goes to help build skate parks here in Montana, pretty awesome right! If you're in Missoula May 3rd, (first friday) stop by The Brink Gallery and check out all the decks! I'll be there!
