"i have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night" - galileo galilei

on our very first date, andrew taught me all about stars, the constellations, and different planets. my first thought was "how cute, he's nerdy." but as he showed me some of the things in the sky, i was amazed... and my love for those stars since that chilly night in october has only increased. there is something to be said about a quiet night in maricopa (middle of nowhere!), looking up at the night sky, and seeing hundreds of beautiful sparkling stars. like seriously, hundreds. if you go to the right place, there are barely any lights and it is perfect for stargazing! so many times i wish i was able to capture the things that i saw.

so if you need a little break from reality, look up at the night sky and just breathe. between the sounds of your slow and steady breathing and the sight of the beautiful starry night sky, there is no way not to have an "i am so in love with life" moment...

 and who doesn't love a good iamsoinlovewithlife moment? :)
