cool eye brows?........

i took it, my last drive home from san luis obispo. it was weird, and sorta emotional. i'm not too sure why i got teary eyed walking out of that 2 bedroom, small, tan apartment of mine. i spent so much of the year wanting to leave and conching some excuse to get the heck outta there just for a weekend. but this place was special, it was my first home away from home. a lot happened there, and i'm glad i chose to live there.

my last night was filled with wine, laughs, and tears. the perfect ingredient for any occasion if you ask me. the next morning we had lunch at panera. it was delicious. 

thank you kallie and vanessa for making it a year i'll never forget. 

i miss you guys

brendt made this year bearable- and for that i thank him

bye bye, see you in august for a deep cleaning.

I'M DONE

(Shirt:Gap. Jeans:Sevens for all Mankind. Shoes:Target. Jacket:Ross.Shades:Borrowed. Wallet: Hobo)

with school! my first year of college is complete! can you believe it? yeah i can't either, its just a surreal feeling. this year was not easy-at all. not only was college itself difficult, but altering my relationships with people-and let me just say distance is just a length. if you don't let it, it wont change anything. just sayin'.

so its summer-let the nonsense and totally obsessive behavior with my friends begin. you have no idea how excited i am to be around the people who get me. i think that was one of the weirdest things about going away. the humans that get your humor, bad jokes, constant sarcasm, and that share your same values are truly irreplaceable. 

so here is to the summer of 2011!

i celebrated my last night in San Luis Obispo, with dinner-not just any dinner, ribs. my golly i love those things. i looked like a complete fool, i tell you.

p.s 

      (i was talking on the phone with grandma...working out weekend plans.)

a cake stand for my mom

this is me eating a cookie. when i walked up to this store these were sitting there, i didn't know if they were edible. i took a chance. i was searching for a cake stand for my momma, which would be her mother's day present. i found one if you're wondering. and that cookie was good.

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there; and to all of you who hope someday to raise a couple of miracles yourself.

i can't wait to have a family someday. it has always been my dream to have a little girl. a little one to teach manners to, hold with a special touch, and to nurture until i'm gone. when i think of a little girl of my own someday, i think of bows, little nightgowns with pink hearts, flowery bedspreads, the smell of baby lotion, sweet soft skin, messy morning hair as she climbs up to the table for Saturday breakfast, but most of all i think of the love a little girl has to offer. the endless amount  of laughs and tears that both come because of happiness. i thank my mom from the bottom of my heart, for raising me with such a strong nature. to look beyond flaws in someone, giving me the courage to give people second chances, but most of all saying 'i love you' when you should. 

so today, thank you mom, for all you do. not my life or anyone else's could amount to what i owe you.

SLOward bound

i'm on my way back to school. wah wah wah. only 3 more weeks though, and i couldn't be more excited. i must say after having this spring break, it lead me picturing my whole summer, add in 3 more people, some warmer weather, possibly a pool, and of course a job. woah did i just say that? a job? yeah people, my mom finally put her foot down, time for me to get one of those, a job. i have never had a job, besides babysitting a crap load of kids. i'm kinda excited though, okay maybe i should stop talking about it, i may jinks myself.

have you noticed how i've worn this necklace like a ton lately? it's my new favorite! the real cool thing about it too is that, you can wear to 2 way: high and low...


do you like these shoes? i do. mother bought them for me 2 weekends ago. i think they are the perfect little, "throw on wedge." you can dress up any outfit, even a rag of a get-up, just add a little wedge. i could have totally wore a flat, and called it a day. but since i was going to a funeral, i thought i should spice up the day a little. yes a funeral, and yes i looked like i was celebrating spring with this look, who made black a symbol of funeral anyways? (i don’t know if this whole paragraph is completely uncalled for...)

Cool oil pan brother...

it's monday folks, do yo thang and let's move on to tuesday...

little brother

he will never know how much i love him. i've known the dude for 17 years and 3 months exactly, that's a real long time. when i first saw him, i didn't know what he was, he was just some "new kid" that came busted my bubble. the attention was gone from me, and now to this little dude. some say i was mean, scratching, hitting, leaving bruises, on him; basically doing whatever i could to make him cry. (yes i was a devil child...most say) then we grew up, and my love for him grew, into a more "i need to watch over him" kinda thing, and it stuck. he usually says i yell at him, but i only want him to be the best he can. he's grown into such a great young man so far, and has really come a long way. i love my little brother.


so obviously me making him drive me to an antique store and thrift store today was a sign of total love. he thinks thrift stores are dumb...guess where the little booger is getting his Christmas present this year...?


he was a trooper. that's all that really matters.

oh hay-to the 9th flannel in my wardrobe
