just got back from this awesome hike over the weekend, and omg, the views were insane. there was this one spot where you could see the whole valley, and it looked like something out of a painting. i legit had to stop and just soak it all in for a minute. 

anyway, on a totally different note, i tried making homemade pasta for the first time yesterday. it was a bit of a disaster at first (think flour everywhere lol), but after some trial and error, i finally got it right. the end result was actually pretty tasty! 

now, i'm just chilling and catching up on a new book that's been on my list forever. loving the slow pace and just taking some time for myself. how's everyone else doing?
