Rise and Shine

"If you want to view paradise

Simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Want to change the world, there's nothing to it!"

-Willy Wonka

My friends and I woke up at the crack of dawn to go hiking today. It was nice to get some fresh air and the views weren't too shabby either. I have found a new love in the Willy Wonka song and thought it fit perfectly for our great view and great day.

Happy Weekend!

The Fabulous Four

My friends and I are all big Sex and the City fans and often find our lives being able to relate to some of the episodes. We were very excited to hear that they were coming out with big movie number 2 and decided to go out for some cosmos and sushi beforehand. The movie was pretty cute and a girls night was just what we all needed!

Sister to Sister

Sky and I don't get to spend much sister time together now with our hectic lives and opposite schedules, but this week we finally got to! We found ourselves aimlessly wandering around target shopping for about an hour, showing each other our wish items, and discovering our similar fondness for the exact same lamps, coffee table book and name (how sisterly of us). I then talked her into letting me test out some sunset pictures because we have both recently discovered our love for photography. The pictures came out pretty neat so I then convinced her to get gas with me where she took the following awful picture! (according to the gas man it was a "kodak moment!"). She also rushed over after working all day to help me make some muffins for my work potluck tomorrow. I've determined I do not like baking that much so I'm very thankful for my martha stewart sister! I was pretty excited to use my recipe book for the first time (filled with recipes I stole from Sky!). They turned out pretty good! I hope my teammates like them! Thank goodness for my fabulous sister!

Just in case

OH CANADA! I love coming home to a big care package filled with all of my favorite treats from Canada! I go crazy for these things and only get to eat them a rare few times throughout the year. I have to admit that Canada has the BEST candies and chips and my family all fight over the treats! YUM!

On another note, tonight my battery bummed out on me. Thank goodness for best friends, Justin Case, jumper cables and the knowledge to jump start a car! It was quite humorous to see two girls outside of starbucks trying to figure this out! I am now looking into buying a justin case for myself! You know, just-in-case!

Coffee

I have to admit that I am a complete sucker for Starbucks coffee. My summer drink of choice is a venti non-fat - no whip - white mocha, and this reusable cup will definitely come in handy for me. It was quite hard to track down this cup since the five stores I went to were sold out! I always love a nice cold drink during summer and my friends and I usually find ourselves having some much needed girl talk at Starbucks at least once a week. AND I'm helping the environment at the same time! This has been my great summer purchase number one! :)

Trains

Today we took the boys over to look at some real trains! It was so neat to see all of these old trains that used to ship cargo and people all over Arizona. They even let us take a walk through one of the trains. I have to admit, it was boiling, stuffy, and smelled of rotting 1920, but it was neat to see all of the old preserved trains. There was a large variety and the boys thought the wheels and bolts were quite interesting!

I don’t know what I would do without them

-I’m becoming allergic to a lot of animals, which makes me sad. I get sick on boats and roller coasters, which is also a downer.

Photo shoot

I get these "creative" ideas in my head and I have to at least try them to get my mind off of it. Here is what my "creative spurt" was about this week:

If you know me then you know....

I LOVE shoes!My shoe closet tends to be an overcrowded hot mess. But I just cant help myself! :)
