I am loving the solitude of Marfa, being away from everyday life and surrounded by these 12 other amazing women is better than I ever imagined it would be! 

On day one Melanie, Davina, & I rented bikes to tour the city of Marfa (which didn't take more than an hour despite our stop on every block) to capture a little character and charm of this lovely little place. Marfa has won my heart for sure!

After we finished up our little ride through the town we headed back to the Thunderbird to catch up with the rest of the girls for a walk around... there isn't much else to do here but visit dairy queen, chat, walk, bike, and take photos.

Some might say that Marfa is the armpit of Texas,, kinda like Blythe is the armpit of California.......not true. On the Marfa part that is... the Blythe thing is totally legit. Anyway,, Marfa is a desert rose: awesome landscapes, charming buildings, and insanely dreamy skies complete with Mario Brothers clouds and lightning storms..........for real.

This is only half of the brilliance that has hit Marfa this week.  But really, could you handle any more?? ;)   I LOVE these girls.  I never thought it would be possible to get 13 women on one trip that would ebb & flow so perfectly.  Thank you girls... for inspiring, for sharing, for being so cool its criminal.  See ya again next year- ehhhhhhh!!!!  ~S

I was waiting for a post from you. I think that these pictures might just be a perfect reflection of how you must be feeling on this trip. I want to hear all about it when you get back! Fill up your soul to the very top with this incredible moment so that you can continue to tap into it. BEAUTIFUL shots and the collage is perfection. I can't wait to some of you. Give Kristy a BIG OL" Texas hug from me please:) K

10. Marfa rhymes with barfa and that alone is reason enough to come to this amazing place!

9. Dairy Queen's concern for adding chocolate pumps to their heath bar blizzard due to diabetics. (P.S. - Another awesome perk is their dance floor)

8. the laundry mat, ice cream and coffee are all in the same building.

7. total banana seat domination

6. Six hours road trips through the desert to get to a dump

5. acupuncture via cactus needles

4. cowboys with mustaches that listen to opera in their 1987 Mercedes benz

3. Marfa's font book is better than your font book. BAM

2. We decided the marfa lights are geriatric men with headlamps

1. MARFA TRIP!!!
