find people you can climb through canyons with and then collapse poolside, artside, and bookstore-side. just very thankful for these friends & this season. 
just before we played catch-the-jugo-de-piña with 3 year old new friend estin at a homey food stop && cruised down route 66 under the star-specked sky 
so, we go up 
hey from your best bouldering buds 
make it desert, but add some oasis 
yeah, she’s in a group chat with our parents. 
29 years: there’s this crazy thing called being known. I don’t think we humans can ever be known fully, but we can be known truly. and it’s scary when someone knows enough the jagged parts of your being that they’d be justified to leave, but instead they love. hey, today is alexa roncancio’s 29th birthday & she’s done just that, consistently. she supports, listens, welcomes, lightens, cares, prays. she’s an inclusion-exploder, steadfast-loyalist, fun-finder. she is a “random roommate” turned dear friend. happiest of birthdays, cancio! here’s to the 100%. 
25 years: this is our most recent picture together. katie: laughingly doing “the deb stance” as we’re clad in our matching CLIMB hoodies. caught as a daily moment, fixed after countless conversations on the gym’s mats, done in half-joke of our lack of pictures for the amount of presence we fill in each other’s lives. it fits today: the spinach to my kale turns 25. she’s hardworking, wise, faithful, determined, intentional, adventurous, joy-filled, deeply caring, and very favorite. almost three years ago, I walked into an apartment and found her, and neither of us have walked out on each other’s lives since. so thankful, so much love for my k manns, so excited for 3x3x3 years of friendship more. 
last month’s edition of deb & the work dudes: had a (solid) video shoot with a (very solid) author in Sedona. 10/10 would recommend this crew & noe & his work, 10/10 hope I’m one day cool enough to join the bald & beanied guys with 3+ year olds club.
