Burnin' Up

It's official in case you didn't know already....I am a nerd. And now you can add boy band concert goin' nerd to that. I just bought some tickets to Provo's Stadium of Fire on July 4th. The Jonas Brothers will be in attendance. I'm going to surprise my sister when I go home next month with the ticket and a flight to come visit me in Utah (because I know she loves them and she hasn't visited me in forever!).

I miss her so much.

Thanks Dad!

Can't wait to see them at the end of the semester. My Dad is even going to brave the San Francisco traffic that he hates to come pick me up. I'll have to of course make him go to the pier while I am there. I miss the ocean oh so much!

On My Shoulders

I already said I was obsessed. Here is the official trailer of 500 days of Summer.
Having seen it already it makes me think of why I like the movie so much. hopefully it isn't changed too much when it hits theaters

I Treat You Wrong

I love Sundays, but today I was just far too bored. So I finally decided to finish the first role I had in my Diana F+ camera and then used my little powershot canon when there was hardly any light left outside. It made the day pass by faster. Everyone was gone so my roomie Jolee came along for the ride and brought her own cam too. I'll be the first to say I don't know anything about photography but that doesn't stop me from wanting to take pictures : ) I think I just miss living with someone always taking pictures, miss you Michelle! but anyways here are some I took in the short little time we were on center street today.

Fasciinatiion

(This picture is from all the way back in Halloween when I helped Pat dress as a bum)

Last night I went to the gallery stroll on University Ave with my good friend Pat. We had a grand time, and enjoyed yummy food from the SmokeHouse. I was pleasantly content with the vast amount of food we got. Good times. We wanted to go to Gloria's Little Italy but were too hungry to wait....next time!

We were kind of unimpressed by the art exhibit Sego had called "I am Chris Purdie"
I guess we just weren't cool enough for the exhibit.

Anyways.....I know I said I would be posting music for my friends to listen to and today I am posting some songs I REALLY like from the artist 'Lights'. She is from Canada and I just love her sound.
She is one of my favorites. I hope the next time she tours in the US I get to see her. Ooooh and I included two versions of her song "Last Thing On Your Mind" because I just love both. Enjoy friends....

Keeps Getting Better

California was amazing. I didn't really have any expectations for this trip, but let me tell you it was by far the funnest trip to southern California. Had a blast. What did I do?

Got pulled over in Barstow (got a fix it ticket)
Spent the night at my friend Jana's (hung out with her awesome mom and her dog Peanut)
Disneyland (of course)
-went on rides with Joey and Max till they left, went on rides with Dave and his brother-in-law and then went on rides with my good amiga Heidi!
Left the park and had some amazing taco soup in my friend Heidi's infamous 'pillow room'
slept in hotel room (snuck Max in)
Met my friend Monique at the park
Decided to go to Newport Beach
Watched the sunset
Went to Jana's house
Picked up the boys from the park and slept
Dropped the boys off at church
Picked up the boys and left for home : (
Laughed the hardest I have in awhile because of my good friend Dave's shenanigans
Stopped in Vegas for a few hours
H&M (YES!)
In-N-Out
Got pulled over in Beaver, UT for speeding (no ticket!)
Arrived in Provo, UT at 4am

And then the exhaustion hit me, but I don't regret one second.

Look at this awesome painting my friend Heidi gave me! I'm so proud of it. I have such talented friends. And really this is a horrible picture of the painting because there is so much more that isn't captured but eh I wanted to show it anyways.

Sooo I think I just might already be planning another trip.....

Con Te Partiro

I love my Disneyland. I will post on my adventures in California later this week. for now here is a short video I took while on Thunder Mountain. It is kind of crazy....

"Art, I want you"

Umm I left my heart in Portland this time. What fun that trip was. I don't think I have ever actually spent Valentine's Day in Utah, at least I know for the last three years I have flown out to some where else. Ha. I like it.

So Valentine's Day was awesome. I was sick. Upside: I got to crash a stake couple's dance with my best friend and her husband! They had chocolate fountains, an awesome high school band, and even cheesier photos from peoples weddings in a slide show (mostly circa 1980s). Before the dance I had a lovely dinner with Georgia's friends in the above picture. Isn't it awesome meeting your besties other friends? They were all way cool and I especially enjoyed the couple game we played, because Georgia's husband wasn't there and we were each others spouse.

The next day we went to 23rd street and looked at some of the cute shops there and went to my favorite store....urban outfitters! I wanted to find a new quilt for my bed but walked out empty handed.

On Monday I got my hair trimmed by the lovely Crystal at the Symmetry Salon in the Pearl District of Portland. The night then ended with an abundance of food by going to Oba! and then sushi a hour later.

I always bring all the seasons of Sex and the City with me so before we went to bed we squeezed in a few more episodes because Georgia hasn't seen them all. I just love that show....and I don't care if you disagree!

Well what another great Portland visit, I miss it so much already!
