I'm Just Waiting Til The Shine Wears Off.

Get situated before you start reading, this is going to be a long one.

My uncle and I went to Bryce Canyon today. If you haven't gone before, you really should! It is so beautiful. There is a canyon before Bryce..I think it's called Red Canyon, GORGEOUS. Makes the drive worth it. Here check out Bryce:




After that we decided we wanted some food. So we headed to my work, but on the way to my work we went through Zion National Park. Which is another must see. I didn't take many pictures there but I do have a picture of a goat for you guys!

And in case you guys wanna get creepy, that man is not my uncle.

I had such a great time with my uncle. He is so full of wisdom. Long car rides with him aren't awkward or boring. They are full of lessons, and not boring ones. Believe me, that last thing my uncle has are boring stories.

He is on his way up north now, which saddens me slightly. I don't see him very often.

Also, I just want to thank my friend Theodore for being here for me. He is one of the best friends I have and probably will ever have. He's been my friend since 2010 I believe ? A long time. We had a rough patch for a while, which was one of the most depressing years of my life.

Although, he finally figured out that what he did was wrong and we are close again! He reads my blog every night and he is what keeps me going. He makes me want to write to you guys. Even if he is the only one reading this haha.

Thought I should give a little shout out to him, he deserves it!

On to my babbling!!

So I made a bucket list recently. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a list of things you would like to do before you pass on. Some people don't like them because they are depressing, to me it's more of a list of goals than a death list, which some weirdos call it.

I'll tell you my first three and I will share one more every time I get a comment from my readers sharing theirs. Sound like deal?
  1. Parasail
  2. Take a calligraphy class
  3. Go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras.
Alright let's see what you guys want to do! I'm really interested, you might give me a few more things to add, we shall see!

I think that's all I have for you guys right now. I'm having a brain fart (for lack of better terms).
If I think of something else tonight I will write again. Comment and tell me your bucket list items!

Life In Technicolor

I'm writing tonight's post to the song 'Life in Technicolor II' By Coldplay. I forgot how much I enjoy Coldplay. They can put me in such a relaxed mood. Almost perfect for writing. I've had a pretty bland day. I got up around 11am, which is way later than I wanted to get up.. I used my color chart, which told me I should wear lavender on Mondays.. It helps me get dressed faster in the morning ha. Anyway, I took my finals today.. It went bad for accounting, but I didn't really expect any different. Cheers to taking that class a third time! I'm not stupid I swear. I just lacked conviction lately. Which will change. My math final went pretty well..Matching graphs to equations is my downfall so I'm sure I missed a few points there, I passed the class though! When I got home I realized that I had the rest of my day to myself, some people love that feeling, nothing to do. I'm not like others, I prefer to be busy, keeps my mind off things. One of...

Not Like The Movies

College is not what people think it is. In movies it's shown as one BIG party. Lots of hot people, drinking and parties. My experience in college has been somewhat like a party but nothing like college in movies. When I first moved into my dorm I expected my roommate to be my best friend and go everywhere with me. That is not the case, my roommate and I talk, but we don't go everywhere together. Honestly sometimes it can even be awkward when we are left in the same room together. My first night at the dorm I met the other girls that I share a suite with. They looked like the typical preppy girls, mean girls if I may. Turns out that they weren't as bad as I had originally thought they were. That night we went to a tye dye party. We were given a T-shirt and we could go dip our shirts in big buckets of dye. There was music blasting and people dancing in the bright colorful lights. "This is college" I thought. This is going to be so much fun. The dance was ...

Week 3 - Good Morning!

 Goooooood Morning! I'm going to come right out with it. I have not been doing great at getting up early. That's because over the weekend, I decided that what I wanted to do with my extra time, was cuddle with my fiancé. It was late mornings from there. BUT! Here I am, at 6:30am, writing to you. It's not all bad! I'm up earlier than usual. Positive thinking right? Had an amazing weekend, had a photoshoot with some women I didn't really know and we pretended we were in a Coven for Halloween, I'll attach some stuff for you to look at. 👀 And as always life is busy busy busy, but I'm choosing to look at it as "productive".  I always like ticking something off my list!  Next list to start working on, my wedding planning list. Who would have thought there was SO much to getting married! 😅 I hope you enjoyed the small snippet I shared! Comment and tell me what you thought!
