Best way to wake up.

Today I woke up and I knew it would be a good day. As I was getting ready this morning all I heard from my roommates room was her adorable loud laugh. It wasn't a pitty laugh, or a little one, it was a loud crack up.(Mind you, it was 7:00 am) I thought she might be laughing in her sleep but, she wasn't. She was just talking to her best friend.

This is joy. And I love waking up filled with it.

Road Trip!

Brandon and I decided(while waiting in line for tortillas at Disneyland) to drive out to Sedona, Arizona for the weekend to visit my grandparents who were vacationing there. I thought the drive was about 5 hours and it would be so easy. Well, the drive was 9 hours, but so much fun! We borrowed a fun book of questions form my good friend Ben, and we laughed and talked and took tons of pictures!

Highlights from the trip:
-Denny's in Arizona, so sick. Waiting 45 minutes for cold food, doesnt sound fun, but when you're so tired, everything is funny.
- Hanging out with 4 older people all weekend
-Off road jeep rides through the mountains
- Bi Plane tours while it is raining
- Making fun of thousands of dollars worth of crappy statues
- eating at the "nice restaurant" with Grandma and Grandpa
- visiting all the tourist sites I havent really ever looked at, even though I used to visit every year.
- 8 dollar coffee and cold bagel breakfast
- tourist shops
- fight during ping pong which turned into really fun game of Raquetball in which Brandon broke the ping pong racket.

What a random and fun trip!








Suprise Suprise!

Ok, so my favorite movie is fever pitch, well one of them. In this movie one of the girls has a birthday party and the theme is the great gatsby, and I thought this was super clever. One night Brandon and I are watching the movie and I mentioned that it would be fun to have this as a theme for a party. Skip forward 6-7 months, and for my 20th birthday party BRANDON THROWS ME A SUPRISE TWENTIES THEMED PARTY!

It was such a magical night, with tons of friends, great food from the Sarge, and a huge cake!


Enjoy the pics...


I love you B! Thanks for all your hard work family! So sorry I was such a B word!
