And although, I had an amazing and wonderful time, the transition back into my routine called reality is proving to be more difficult than I expected. I will be posting about every detail of the trip just as soon as I can catch my breath. My mind is going a million miles a second in every kind of direction. I just need some time, a moment to catch up. And everything will be alright.

Portland --> Eugene --> San Francisco --> Santa Barbara --> Magic Mountain --> ?????

We just got to Santa Barbara tonight and I havent had much time for blogging. But I just thought Id drop a little line to say that we are having such a great time and I am just so happy for this opportunity to have fun and get out and explore. I will fill you in on more when I get the chance, and dont worry... lots of pictures!!!

This week...

has been a rollercoaster...
...I had to say goodbye to my roommate tuesday night. She was leaving for the weekend and it was the last time I would see her before she leaves for her 2 month adventure through Costa Rica. Im gonna miss her so much.
...I also found out that a friend of mine died while serving in Iraq. She was a seriously wonderful person and the world did not deserve to loose her.
...I have been trying to pack for the road trip but it have proven to be quite the struggle. To say the least, it has stressed me out to the max.


But...
....today is the day! When I am off work, we are taking off! The trip begins!
...we will be off to Eugene to spend the night with our families (and my best friend Rachelle). And in the morning...its off!
...first stop... San Fran!  Then down the coastline. I cant wait for the beach to help wash away this week.


Im so excited for our first road trip together!
(ive been eating sunflower seeds all week in preparation)

10 things I learned this weekend...

1. My health can make a complete turn for the worst in 5 minutes flat.
2. No matter how badly you want to go to dance, if you cannot stand up for a full minute, its not going to happen.
3. It is perfectly acceptable to eat dry cereal for lunch and dinner in the same day.
4. Its really hard watch movies when the sun is so rudely shining through your windows!
5. Mean girls is still one of the funniest movies ever.
6. One day you can feel like death and then next, near perfection. How wonderful is that.
7. Sunday brunch with new friends is super fun.
8. Santarias makes one hell of a veggie taco salad. Im in love!
9. When I get sick...the boyfriend gets sick.
10. My roommate Kait is such little sex kitten and wonderful model. We had such a fun photoshoot this weekend and I am so sad to see her leave our apt for 2 months while she goes off to adventure!
11. (in honor of the post pic...) Its still just as fun to take pictures of Kait taking a picture of Me taking a picture of Kait taking a picture of etc. ect. as it was back in middle school.

What did you learn this weekend?

Road Trip!

Yay! We are going on a road trip!

My wonderful job has allowed me the chance to finally DO something with my time off.

So spring break this year means...me, the boyfriend and the California coast line.

Since we dont have heaps of time or loads of money we chose a road trip.

And we both have lots of friends and family and memories down there, so its perfect.

We have a date tonight to finalize our plans.

I cant wait!

What have I been up to?

I havent been posting much about whats going on in my real life lately. So here goes...

Ive been really busy with dance. Finally. We have been performing! Not just rehearsing. Its going really well. I love all the girls so much. Its been fun to get back to this whole team thing. It reminds me so much of high school. We are simply killin it on stage.

I havent touched a book in a couple of weeks and its making me very sad. My bedside pile is growing and growing. Ive got to dive back it. And soon!

The boyfriend and I are wonderful. Simply wonderful. He makes me laugh and I annoy him.

Ive been taking photos like crazy, of the same old stuff though. However, I have a list of new subjects I cant wait to delve into!

Im inspired. Very very inspired, but still experiencing a bit of cement syndrome. Big plans and dreams flood my mind everyday, yet I am slow moving. Time to change that though!!!

What have you been up to?

Oh hi...

I die for this...

 

this bed...

this brick...

this entire room.

Courage...
