my life in photos.

i like taking pictures of the little things that happen in my daily life. they are fun to look at when i am bored and remind me of the happy things i get to experience daily. 

here are some pictures of my happy times through out the past couple weeks. 

1. i went home, saginaw home. visited the house, went exploring through the backyard. the trails are all covered up again, but i still have them engrained in my memory so i didn't get lost back there. i love this tree, we tried building a tree house in it one summer but dad wouldn't let us.... oh well.

2. i went to interlochen and reunited with my best friends. it was the best reunion i could have asked for. 

these are my friends from voice. we have kept in touch so well over the past year, and hope to stay close and connected for the next years to come. 

i got to see my best friend olivia graduate (on the right) and kayla surprised us from japan!

3. im a pretty big cupcake fanatic, so the first thing i did when i got back to salt lake was go to my favorite little cupcake shop, sweet tooth fairy. they are a pretty big weakness of mine.....

 dont they look delicious?

4. i tried something new, i made a cornish game hen with my friend heather. it was $2.50, great steal eh? well anyways, we were just testing out our cooking skills, crafted a stuffing and rubbed it with what we thought looked good. since we thought it would be gross we ate some hot dogs while it was cooking. little did we know that it would be THE MOST DELICIOUS CHICKEN EVER. yeah. ever. it was flavored and cooked to perfection. just take a look at our beautiful masterpiece. 

dont you want to grab a leg through the screen and eat it right now? i do...

4a. i tried something else new. bianca (my artist friend who is so talented) decided we should draw and relax last night, so she told me to pick something in the room and draw it. i chose her little bag that looks like a fish. i started out drawing it exactly, and then just made it look like i would like it. so here you go folks...my first masterpiece in like 6 years? yeah.. i suck at art. 

what do you think? 

5. two highlights of my weekend: a picnic at liberty park with heather and my new friends donald and daffy duck...and their extended family. as well as catching the very end of the pride parade on sunday. there were lots of prideful people walking around all weekend....it was quite the day to people watch. 

our picnic of pits...aka..our picnic of cherries and olives. also, cool story. dad get ready to be proud of me. i was at whole foods choosing some cheese, and got talking to the cheese lady. guess what she said? she said i should apply to be a cheese lady because i really seem to know my stuff about cheese! i love cheese. do you love cheese? whats your favorite kind of cheese? 

this is the end of the pride parade. the first guy is showing lots of pride, id say. 

6. something im proud of: on the plane i was bored so i was looking through the games on my phone and noticed that mary must have downloaded cribbage. i have been wanting to learn for a while now, but it always looked so confusing, and i wasnt in a confused mood. so on the plane, i was bored of playing nerts, so i learned how to kind of play cribbage. brad plays it multiple times a day with sundee and alec. they are all pros. he said i would never be able to beat him, i said i would in 6 weeks at least once. guess what, i beat him in less than 24 hours. WHAT. i am such a smart cookie. 

this is the beloved cribbage board. brad says i have caught on faster than anyone he has ever known. once again...i am a super smart cookie. and i am becoming a better counter because of it. 

so i dont know what else to inform you on. my life is pretty straight forward.

eat.

sleep.

work.

watch netflix.

repeat. 

i sure love you guys. hope you didnt mind the rambling on.

love,
