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!

The Maker Makes

The new blog background and banner is up! Thank you Briye Guy. You are just a peach. Now I have to figure out what to get you for your graduation, since I won't even be here for it......
Well anyways, I decided to change the name of the blog to Sweet Disposition last week. Mostly because "We Sure Are Cute for Two Ugly People : )" was kind of long. I loved the title because it comes from one of my songs, but I love the song that my blog is named after now just as much!

Here is one of the pictures that came out of my first role on the Diana F+ I got for Christmas. It is double exposed with another picture that we took the day before. I love how the umbrella is around Alyssa. However I do not like how dark it turned out and how Allen's Camera cross processed it. Most of the pictures turned out to be too blue or too green.
I guess it is a learning process. Hopefully the next role I just dropped off will turn out better.

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!

Hot Revolver

So this post is kind of random but.....there seems to be a lot of movies that I have never seen. Like right now, I'm watching Donnie Darko for the first time. And I must say that I am enjoying it. So naturally I would like to know more movies that I should/need to watch. Please offer some advice : )
ooooo and p.s. Briye has been making me this awesome background and banner for my blog. (cuz mine is rediculously ugly right now)It looks ten times better than what I have right now and she has proved once again that she is amazing! And she is graduating from BYU in a week and a half. Congrats love!
(BTW we were extremely excited to go to the 'So You Think You Can Dance' performance tour in this picture. Sooo fun!)

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna.....


Oh how I love going to the Hare Krishna temple for the Holi Festival of Colors. Especially with a few of my great friends. Sadly I missed the countdown to throwing all the colors but still managed to get some colors thrown on me as soon as I arrived. Hanging out with Pat and Allison was hilarious, and I'm so glad Alyssa was able to go for the first time (she grew up nearby and had never gone)!

Dancing.

Taking Pictures.

Walking in the temple.
Enjoying the other festivities outside.

All so fun.

I'm glad these events were well documented.
Annnnd I'm so glad to have one of my favorite girls back from her mission in Russia. Can't wait till she officially moves in at the end of the month!!!!

An Evening in Roma

I don't think I have expressed how much I love to travel yet. But I promise you I want to travel the world. On top of my list is Italy. I took a Modern Italian history course last semester and fell in love. This video just makes me want to go right this second!
I plan on going to Italy when I graduate college with my sister, and perhaps backpacking to a few other places as well. But for now..........enjoy this lovely video made of photographs.

I Want to Ride My Bicycle

I got to ride my bicycle finally! My best friend Georgia gave me her bike this last summer and I haven't been riding it because the weather in Utah isn't all that fun. I love that another one of my roommates has a cruiser as well and we were able to take a little stroll....which eventually turned into a few hours. We rode over to one of our old friends houses that used to live in our ward when we lived in Raintree. It is just so fun to reminisce on the good ol' days.
From here on out, as long as the Provo weather permits, I want to go on a few weekly bike rides.
