Catch Up, 7UP.

Hey there. Long time no chat eh? Life can be cray like that sometimes you know? Anywho, to get you up to speed on the latest with moi…

-It's summa time! #praiseJesushallelujah
-I'm in my beloved California and NOT Utah (insert praise hands)
-I'm working like a craz-o but it's so good to be busy and not like "So what do I wanna do with myself"
-Despite the heat and random humidity, I still manage to freeze ERRDAY at work (no surprise)
-Living close to tons of family is the best and I get to love on my little Wybug and Lita all the time!
-Church is great and having church friends is even better!
-I finally overhauled my wardrobe yet still own 50 shades of black and grey.
-Not going back to Utah has to be the happiest thing ever
-BIGGEST NEWS YET: I HAVE A…just kidding y'all! STILL single as F but ain't even mad about it.

Here's to keeping up with this little blog since it's been far too long, I have to much to say and no one to say it to, and I have a feeling that things are going to be changing for the better soon! Besitos!

Sometimes.

Sometimes...
Your nephews come to California on vacation and you don't even have time to get online for anything.
This means you don't check blogs, facebook, instagram (the horror!) etc.
This results in having like zip in photos taken from summer escapades to Target, restaurants, birthday parties, thrift stores and parks.
But on the flipside: This summer be rocking and I memories of the craziness and party life (aka redbox and sour treats) like off the chain man.
Keep em coming! (Be back soon in the fullest of swing y'all and not just in the selfie on the bed with a cray face on for fun yo)
XOXO

CA Loving.

This bear proves that vacations in California are the beary best! (Really does life get any better than sun, swimming, food, family and the BEST shopping ever? I think not!) Recap when I get back to Ewwtah.

MIA Much?

Despite the fact that it's summer and I should basically be posting all the awesomeness I've been up to lately, this week has been so incredibly boring and will continue to be until Monday...hopefully. All that's occurred lately:

-getting my car fixed

-getting my tires rotated and the air pressure checked 

-working on a talk for this Sunday in church

-sleeping in 

-getting so much mail

-walking around because it's the cool thing to do

-wanting it to be Sunday afternoon already so I have no obligations

-exchanging purchases at the mall

Next week will bring loads more excitement due to my brief vacation in the lovely Southern California minus the fact that there will be 13 people in one very tiny house...Until Monday people!

Long Weekend Festivites.

Memorial day weekend means summer is just around the corner. Mine was spent whooping it up with family in Wyoming working hard, having loads of laughs and eating a crap ton of food. There was never ending raking and mowing and brush burning but the yard looks 500 times better than it did with the long grass and weeds everywhere. I discovered than raking >weeding(so many bugs live in the dirt...sicknast) Raj and I died laughing at the little boys taking water breaks every 5 minutes and only fishing for 20. I was sad we didn't get to have cute little Ella bug with us but we will see her in a few weeks when we head down to California. Hopefully the next few weeks will fly by!

Just a typical lovely day in the lovely Star Valley.

 Loveliest smokebombs I've ever set off. Who knew fireworks could double as art?

 We won't even get into the horrid state that is my face and outfit but I held that snake and didn't even drop it like some people. Snaps for me.

Dear May.

I love the change that a new month brings. May means summer is here in Utah and everyone and their mom is at Yogurtland 24/7...sick to the nast nast nast! What am I supposed to eat all summer long people? I've decided to adopt a workout routine and it is kicking my buns for real yo. I need to work on my fitness though if anyone expects me to go to 7 Peaks at all. I made a ridiculous amount of salsa for Cinco de Mayo and wish that it was here already! I love celebrating anything that involves eating my weight in Mexican food and drinking gallons of the ever delicious horchata...hi, get in my belly kthanks. Sunday, I'll def be rocking a maxi dress to hide any food babies. At least with all my working out, I can afford to eat the way I plan to come Saturday. May brings the national Jingle Bells month (mother's day + Jings' birthday), Dos' birthday and otter pop/shave ice season. Good thing I bought new clothes to wear since it looks like I plan on eating all summer according to this post #foodbabyforlife...yikes? Bring on the sweet summertime.

Guess who's back?

Not Shady unless that's a secret alias I'm unaware of for myself. Life's been super busy around these parts and over the past few months I've been everywhere from the snow covered mountains in Wyoming to the toasty sun in Southern California. I've picked up some new addictions draw something app, instagram (still don't get how to find my peoples even check my own pics online...#socialmediachallengedmuch?), talenti gelato in sea salt caramel...goodbye waistline! I love traveling to "Sallake" to hang with my crew and eat/shop/people watch. (I actually people watch anytime, anywhere especially on DR, what?) I'm so grateful the weather is getting nicer and hopefully I can start rocking sandals all day, everyday and laying out and getting my skin cancer on. I need to find a way to move into Britt's house so I can swim/hot tub/just dance. Since my 2 week vacation, I hadn't seen my Friday temple people and they are such darling old dears! I am still up in arms about whether Friday or Wednesday is "better" for me (wednesday-super fine brother working or friday-fav old people...decisions decisions) I am looking forward to summer fruit sales so I can make smoothies and salsa for every meal. Summer 2012 is going to be a good one, I can feel it. I just need to make some more friends so my life will be more social in the sun and a little less book reading in the library.

Feet are gross but it was Tom's "A Day Without Shoes" and I had their essie made polish "A day without blues" so a photo was necessary.
My fav snack in the world courtesy of Disneyland. 1 bag down, 2 more to last me until my next trip...#willpowerbaby.

Live Every Week like...

EFY + Shark Week = greatest week of my life.

Dos Mas.

I have been the worst at writing this summer. I barely have a life outside of EFY but the countdown is on. 2 more weeks until I can have a life again. Well I guess after a magical trip to the happiest place on earth.

Crazy Good Times.

I'm still alive. Just having the craziest greatest time at EFY doing my BC thang. If I don't reply to your calls or texts, I still love you but I have next to no time to respond.

Think Happy Thoughts.

Being happy is the best. When you're happier, you can spread the cheer onto someone else. Since this is my last free week (for a few weeks) this is how I will get my happy on:

1. Reading books

2. Cooking/baking

3. Sleeping in/ taking nap

4. Watching cartoons on youtube

5. Hanging out with my amigs
