with every bad thing comes something good

With every bad thing something good comes along, i'm sure of this and Sunday was a prime example

Bad thing- no one could come swimming with me for this reason or that

Good thing- Ryan got off of work early and save the day

Bad thing- the pool my ladlord gave me an access pass to is closed on Sundays

Good thing- so Ryan and I went swimming at my Dad's pool in Draper and it was nice and sunny all day

Bad thing- on the way there my car almost over heated waiting in stupid traffic

Good thing- my Dad's friend with the baby raccoon had it with her so I got to see the baby again!

Bad thing- we got maced... on accident

Good thing- we had delicious in-n-out

Bad thing- hair oil spilled all over the inside of my purse

Good thing- Alisha came to play with us

Bad thing- it rained while we were at Sugarhouse park

Good thing- it was warm rain

But over all I love my Sundays and swimming with my dearest friend Ryan

Say hello to the newest edition to the wall decor family of my new apartment..

Now, if only I can get myself to move in. I've been putting it off trying to enjoy living in a more house-like place for the last few days. I'm kinda sad to leave my duplex for an old apartment, even though i'm just moving down the street. But hey at least I can say I am 100% percent independent, and that feels good.

something I really miss

As of late, I have really been missing dancing  and this photo didn't help one bit..

i did it

I did it.

I signed my soul to the devil this morning (until May 31, 2011 that is) and got my own one bedroom apartment! I'm sad to leave my cute duplex but im just moving down the street. I'll post some pictures once I move everything in! Even after the legal-document-signing-anxiety-attack i'm getting excited for the future :)

there's a monster..

There is a monster under my covers! I found him just yesterday. He is continually surprising me hiding in new places. The monsters name is Laika..

and he's my crazy cat

2010 Twilight Concert Series

Anyone that knows me well knows that the Twilight concert series is one of my all time favorite things about summertime in the SLC. This morning, the partial line up was announced and after reading this to see what they were i've got to be honest, I'm hoping the empty spots and TBA's will make this line up better. Don't get me wrong I am very excited about a few gigs like this one...



Just cross your fingers for more awesome music to ring through Salt Lake this summer, I sure am!

everyone has at least 1 blogging confession, here's mine

If writing a blog is like talking to your invisible friend that you tell all of your secrets to and confesses until you heart is content, here is my confession:

Sometimes I just want to dance to dirty rap all night long. I guess those hip hop beats hit me deep and I just can't help it.

There you have it. I guess my taste in music isn't perfect after all..

i chose to feel it

I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose

I'll write you a postcard

I'll send you the news

sex and the city

I finally finished all six seasons of my new favorite show Sex and The City and I basically loved it. It's that simple. And yes, I know i'm a little bit late on the band wagon but better late then never right? Plus i'm just in time for the second movie!

Who knows, maybe i'll move to New York one day live life like Carrie Bradshaw does. New York is one of my dreams...

Utah really is beautiful

My favorite time of year is always spring. The sun starts to kiss my skin and I can't stop staring at and photographing all of the blossoms. Yesterday was a perfect spring day. I spent this lovely spring Sunday hiking up Millcreek Canyon with my dear friend Ryan for a few good miles and a few good hours. I do have to admit, Utah is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. I can't even deny it. The mountains are breathtaking and the serenity is amazing. Aside from the beauty of yesterday, we kick started Sunday funday and I can't wait to see what adventures we'll come across!

excuses

I am just absolutely loving this song right now and I had to share! In this video they had a whole bunch of friends join them [them as in The Morning Benders] to perform their song 'Excuses'. Sigh, I just love it.

yep i'm still growing

Last night I was lying in bed catching up on my tv shows when I quickly arose because I felt a growing pain in my right leg! Luckily it stopped. But today at work, i'm standing doing a whole lot of nothing, and boom, another growing pain! This time it was in my other leg around my knee. Wtf. I'm twenty years old aren't these supposed to go away by now? This means there is still hope that I won't be the shortest of all my sisters. Yep, I guess i'm still growing.

No Woman No Cry

So I haven't written about Jamaica yet because truthfully I have no idea what to write about! I learned too much and experienced too much for one little blog entry. So for right now i'm just going to post some of my favorite pics. Pictures are worth a thousand words right?

is it bad?

Is it bad that there is a part of me that wants to be a trucker? Like a real truck driver that drives around hauling stuff and sleeps in the back of their truck. It must be the same part of me that wants to live in a motorhome driving all over America. Which also must be the same part of me that wants to drive on route 66 on the back of a motorcycle.

*As soon as I can grasp my incredible vacation in Jamaica i'll write about it and post some pics. I'm just having a hard time wrapping me head around all I experienced and learned..

Jamaica

Love
Laid back
Simple
Colorful
Relaxing
Humbling
Exotic
Tranquil
Tropical
Peace
Rhythm


All of which i'm experiencing in Jamaica.

I LOVE JAMAICA!

dreaming

Today I want, more than anything, to be on the back of his motorcycle on Route 66 going no where in particular but getting out of this town..
Oh to dream..

Water For Elephants

Today I finished Water For Elephants by Sarah Gruen, and it was incredible! I highly recommend it. It's about a traveling circus set in the depression era and it's full of, well, just about everything. Just I thought "hey this would make an amazing movie" I found out it is being made into a movie! I'm thrilled (as long as they do this amazing book justice, if not then I will retract these words when it comes out). Reese Witherspoon is already signed on to play Marlena and there are rumors that Rob Pattinson sigh and Sean Penn may also be starring in the film.

Oh I'm excited!

Now go read the book!

1996

I stumbled across these two beauties of my sisters and I from 1996 (before Allie was born). Oldies but goodies! I love them and just had to share them with you..

A few things my future boyfriend-husband should know, or be warned about...

• I am capable of setting spaghetti on fire and I did last week
• I like to sleep at a diagonal
• I sit in the shower
• And I tend to use all the hot water for my showers..
• I would highly prefer not to do my hair ever
• I still love my blanket even though im 20

but, I can assure you...

• I will make you lots of cakes
• And, I will love you lots and lots!

new shoes make me happy

There is nothing I love more than a cute new pair of shoes, and these are now mine. Although I can not take the credit for finding them i'm still really thrilled and I just had to share my excitement..
