OLD POST

Ok, here is a post I never published, but here it is. no pictures from the weekend of June the 24th!

Bear and I have this habit of cramming adventures into our weekends. If we're not out and about doing something, we're drained of energy and just take naps.

And this past weekend was no exception.

Friday - I came early in the morning to help Bear back up his apartment and load his car. While he was at work, I cleaned the apartment as much as I could, and watched the Princess and the Frog on Netflix. FINALLY. I thought that movie was absolutely adorable. When Bear came back that afternoon, we finished loading both of our cars, and headed to his new apartment and began unpacking. We were getting a little aggravated with each other around this time hahaha, but it was OK.

Then after that we decided to get dinner at our favorite sushi place, Edo in La Jolla. We got two rolls, and this fatty tuna sashimi that my brother was going nuts about. It cost a fortune, and let me tell you... it wasn't THAT amazing. I'd have regular tuna over it any day :\

Saturday - We woke up early and I got to see Alex's uncle since my baptism. That's like over 2 years ago, then after that we went to a place called Cody's. Parking was a nightmare, but we somehow managed to find VIP parking near the restaurant. ZOMMMG, best French toast EVER. I'm in love.

Then after that we went to the Running Store to get me some running shoes!! That place is amazing. After finding out I'm lopsided, have one 7.5 foot and one 8 size food, and spent way too much money on insoles, I am a now the proud owner of LEGIT running shoes. It's like I'm running on clouds!

THEN we cut people in line to get off the exit to the Del Mar Fair!! Everyone and their mom was at the fair that day--it was SO packed. But we did what we went there to do - ate a turkey leg, looked at the bunnies, ate a cinnamon roll, looked at the student art exhibit, drank lemonade, walked around the game section, and ended by buying a fried Snickers. I seriously spent like $50 at the fair alone. Sweet mercy! But it was all worth it to eat that cinnamon roll. Seriously, the best cinnamon roll you can ever have touch your lips.

After THAT we went straight to Petco Park to go to the Padre's game!! First of all, Alex and I aren't baseball fans. Like, at all, but it was nice because I got to see his dad for the first time in a while. But then we got kicked out of those seats, so Alex and I went to the top to find out actual seats, and there he ran into his friend's from his old ward. It was nice to put faces with names. Then we found out a sister that served with Alex in his mission was at the game also, so we went to find her, and we talked to her for a while. She was awesome :] But then Alex and I decided that it was time to go (during the 7th inning bahahaa) to Long Beach.

So Alex and I drove separately to Long Beach (we didn't want to bother Alex's uncle as we worked like a madman on a project at the apartment). So I'm pretty sure we knocked out after getting back.

Sunday - We woke up, made french toast, fell back asleep until Church. We had to leave after sacrament because Alex had to drive back to SD. I made him stay long enough to eat the nummy dinner I made - chicken, baked beans, garlic mashed potatoes, corn bread, and brownies! Then we took a nap, because that's what we do best, and then Alex left to San Diego land.

Then I picked up my BFF Josh and we went to the Irvine Fireside to hear Elder Groberg's talk! Sweeeeeeet!

"You Fly, I Buy"

Father's Day weekend, my brother, sister and I all headed down to our parents' house for the weekend. It's always fun when we're together, and for the first half I mostly hung out with my brother and we did what we always do - go to the movies.

This is probably in my top-ten favorite movies ever. I thought it was fantastic. It's like a modern-day Goonies. They don't make movies like this anymore, and JJ Abrams... that man is like a sci-fi God.

I just realized that the picture I chose is in French... Anyways, I really liked this movie!! I think my brother and I are the only people who thought the graphics were downright embarrassing a few times. Like, we just looked at each other and busted up laughing in the middle of the movie because the graphics were horrendous. Other than that, I thought it was great! James McAvoy never lets me down.

I love the summer movie releases.

Summer Reads

Please look past the heinous book cover. I know... Anyways, I'm in Sister Tingey's Summer Book Club! This was the first book, and it's the same author of P.S. I Love You. Basically it's about an anal woman who has to raise her 6-year old nephew who has an "imaginary friend", only his anal aunt can see him too, and romance begins. I know the summary sounds a little weird, but it's actually a very good read. I enjoyed it.

Annnd, that's all I gotta say about that. I'm bad at book reviews :]

LA Galaxy FTW!

This weekend has been awesome! Did I mention how much I love summer? Bear came to visit and with it came a sweet surprise!

They are so pretty! Anyways we tried to use our Fandango tickets to watch Super 8, and we were really excited, but when we got to the theater, we found out we went to the wrong theater and it was too late to try and make the movie :[ BUT we made up for it and went to El Torito to have a yummy meal! Our waitress was awesome and ghetto. LOOOOVED her.

The highlights of the weekend though were Meagan and Jared's wedding and the LA Galaxy game!

Meagan did such an amazing job transforming the Church Building for her reception. You couldn't even tell it was the same Church building! It was BEAUTIFUL, and totally my style. Loved all of her little DIY touches. The best part was when the bridal party was introduced, they busted out in a choreographed dance that was amazing. Love that lady and I'm so happy for her!

After the dance, we had to jet-pack out of there to make it in time for the Galaxy game. We got pretty good seats. We were so close to David Beckam's body.... The game was so much fun!! The crowd was really entertaining too. Such a a great sport to watch.

Week 2

Hawaii with my family. It was a long, but enjoyable trip. Things to remember: it's not exactly how I imagined Hawaii, it rained a lot when we came, Polynesian Culture Center is awesome, and I got destroyed at Haunama Bay :[ Here are some pictures to some it all up:

I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to visit, and none other than with my favorite people. Oh yeah, I pretty much fell in love with the Polynesian culture and variety of dances, so now I'm in my Church's dance show.... say whaaaaat? Hahhhh.
