The Way We Move

Maybe this year I will post more. Just maybe.

As for my recent activities, I had a wonderful Christmas vacation that was anything but lonely.
I flew my sister into town with a flight reward I got from Southwest and got to spend some quality time with her and my friends here in Utah. I feel so blessed to know such wonderful people and loved playing Clue and Rock Band at the Webbs' casa!
And eating amazing Mexican food!!!! Although I'm sure my sister was a little disappointed at the fact she never got to have her favorite Mexican drink Champurrado (I linked it in case you don't know what it is)

And now I might just get a Snuggie! Hey...... they look really warm and comfortable!

Post edit: Maybe I should carry around a better camera, these Iphone pictures are horrible! But whatever : )

"Garage Glamorous"

Bits of My Weekend inspired by one of my favorite blogs for me, for you


We are so posed. ha.(mostly because Dad can't figure out how to take a picture on an iphone)Huntington Beach Pier at night. Two girls bored at a fish shop : )Two days just isn't long enough to go and visit family.

Charmer

I'm really excited for the holiday season to come around. It is really starting to feel like winter now that my face gets frozen every morning that I walk to school. I'm excited but sad at the same time.

I won't really get to see any of my family this year and I will especially miss seeing this little girl above. She is adorable and I always put makeup on her or paint her nails. She demands that I do so. (or somehow she finds a way to get into my sister's makeup stash and smears it everywhere!)

Aunt Gracie you better get a camera on your computer so we can have video chat this year instead! I'm saying this early so that I give you plenty of time to get one.

Miss you!

Oh. and P.S. If any of you people are staying in town, or coming into town, I want to know! (Briye I know you will be here for X-Mas and I'm so glad!) I want to see your faces : )

Feeling Good

Soooo I guess my trip home was so wonderful that I felt I needed to take another trip asap. This lovely memorial weekend will be spent driving to good ol' San Fran and Redding once again. This time I will have some wonderful friend baggage coming along for the ride. Allison hasn't ever been to San Fran so I'm excited to take her to art museums and other fun things! I also really can't wait to see the fam again!

And since I never showed pictures from my last trip to Redding, here they are!

My friend Kel(a boy) turned 22 so he had a BBQ to celebrate, it was so good seeing a bunch of my friends that are home for the summer there.

I took a drive to Jacksonville, OR just for kicks with my Dad. We used to go visit the historic town when I was a kid and it was so nice to see the green pastures of Oregon again.

And because my Dad knows I love French toast so much, we stopped at a cute place in Yreka on the way.

Jacksonville is a historic town created from the gold rush but was also once used in a 1970s Western film called "The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid"

My Dad knew all about it, I had never heard of such a film. I'm ALMOST tempted to watch it, we will see about that...

After touring the Jacksonville museum we headed home and went on high speed Go Karts!
I was lame and got motion sickness because of how fast they go (I know I'm a wuss), which easily made me last place because I was up against my speedy gonzalez sister Air Bear.

I don't care what people say, northern California is just as fun as southern California and I love my hometown : )

"I Don't Know About You"

but bringing parentals into Urban outfitters can be quite amusing. When I landed in San Fran on Thursday we went to Fisherman's wharf to get some yummy seafood and then drove into union square to do some shopping. It was hilarious watching my dad (a farmer/hick kinda guy) look through all the random books such as : The Cannabis Cookbook, Stuff White People Like, I Can Has Cheesrburger (ya I spelled it right, and it's a wierd book about cats). Those are just a few and I won't list the crazier ones for obvious reasons.....Anyways. I'm glad I was able to find some things I liked at Urban, and that my Dad was able to be distracted by the randomness of Urban at the same time.
This cat is from that really weird "I Can...." book.


And. I need to take pictures of all the happenings I have been doing, such a slacker I am. I learned stick shift yesterday and it was embarassing. Even some random neighbor guy came out and was watching me after he got his mail on the street corner. What a creeper.
I'll try to master it today some time. Hopefully.........

California Dreaming

I'm making a list of things to do when I fly into California this week. I hope I get to do as many of these things as possible : ) I just can't wait, I mean I haven't been home since Christmas and that just seems like such a long time ago.
While in SF:
go to pier 39
-look at the seals
- go to Fisherman's Wharf and enjoy some yummy seafood
-or possibly make my dad take me to Sushi Rock. (even though he thinks sushi is disgusting)
but I mean "What they can't rock, they roll!" that is the best sushi slogan I have ever heard of
-H&m, I need jeans bad!
While in Redding:
-In-N-Out
-Whiskeytown or Shasta Lake trip
-Dutch Bros Coffee (I miss their red bull w/peach and Kiwi flavoring)
-learn to drive stick
-Drive the Stang AND the newly fixed up Jeep pickup
-Enjoy our new hot tub
-watch Law and Order with my Air Bear (my sister)
-and lastly, do something special to remember my mom (she will have passed away exactly a year ago this week). Miss you momma bear

Can't wait for the good weather and good times with my family!

Extraordinary Machine

I pretty much admire anything vintage.
Especially anything that came from the 40s and 50s!

That is why I am so excited that my Dad finally fixed up the car he drove in high school. He bought it for about 300 dollars during the 1970s (good eye dad). So here she is....our 1959 Willy's Jeep pickup truck! I can't wait to learn how to drive it when I go home for a few days next week
I can't wait till I can take more detailed pictures of all the stuff we did to make it look nice again. Believe me this thing has been rusting in our backyard for awhile.
P.S. I'm sick of people making fun of me for not knowing how to drive stick. Next week no longer will that be possible!
