Master in Psychology

I finally did it! I graduated with my Master's of Science in Psychology.

Make Art not Smoke

One of the apps that I have for my phone told me about this new art gallery they built in Downtown Chandler. A main attraction that this gallery has is an old cigarette vending machine renovated into an original art dispenser. Once I heard about this, I had to have some. I love art and try to decorate every wall in my house with different art forms. This gallery is definitely a place to check out! I cant wait to go back and get more!

app-tastic

It is safe to say i am not sure how i ever lived without an iphone. i am also unsure why it took me so long to begin downloading apps but let me tell you, my life has been apps for the last 2 days and i have found some of the most amazing apps. my new favorite is Best of or the game called stupid which "tests" your IQ. Hilarious! anyone know of some good apps i can download?! hahaha im obsessed!

i heart my bike

One day I came home to this lovely bike in my garage. My parents saw it and knew i would love it, so I got an early grad present! I cannot remember the last time i owned a bike. Probably middle school, but when I saw this cute thing I squealed in joy. This bike is the perfect bike for me. I ride it around my neighborhood and it makes going to my cute little coffee shop a lot more fun. I think the next thing i want to get for it is this. ha! Thanks mom and dad!

sweet summer time

slowly but surely im getting all the rooms completed in my house. the latest project was the back patio. I lucked out and got a free patio set from mom who picked it up for free! it just needed a little spray paint and some cute cushions to bring it back to life. my patio is my new obsession! I plan on being out there a lot this simmer.

Muffin girl

I really do think i have the best sister a gal could ask for. She spent her Tuesday slaving away making dozens of muffins only to give away some of her loot to me. How stinking great is that. I devour these things faster than you would believe. She even saved me the one that miraculously made a heart shape with the raspberries (maybe its a sign from the grilled chees-us ;) ).

Shake the Glitter off your clothes

I finally found some cheap glitter shoes. I have been searching forever and target had just what i needed. They are absolutely perfect! every girl needs a pair of these babies.

round two

I am sure by now everyone has heard the traumatic, dramatic, and traumatizing story of me shooting a gun for the first time. I had to have been 18, signed my life away, was hearing machine guns in the background, was scared i was going to blow my thumb into a million pieces, got the station with the hole through the bullet proof glass, and as soon as i heard/saw my dad fire his 45, i instantly burst into tears.

Cut to five years later, i feel as though i can handle this silly thing and overcome my fears of handguns. I really wanted to prove to myself that i could shoot it (without crying). Dad and David willfully took me out to the Pro Bass store which was more secluded. The thought of shooting the gun makes my heart race and my palms sweat. But, in the end, i did it AND i shot a whole clip. Even with my nerves running and my hands furiously shaking, i ended up hitting the orange target.

Whew, I did it, accomplished a goal, and proved it to myself, but i dont think i will be going back again anytime soon ;)

nook

I cant believe i have never blogged about my love for my Nook. I was quite skeptical at first considering one of my dreams has been to have a library in my house one day, but i can say i took the leap and fell in love with the nook. I take this thing with me everywhere and it comes in handy during lunch breaks, waiting for oil changes, as well as appointment waiting rooms. This picture has a few of my favorite things: nook, rain, and my front porch. It was nice to be able to sit outside and soak up the weather as i submerged my thoughts into my book on Alcatraz :)

what happened to me?

it really is the little things that i get overjoyed with. the newest example is my new vacuum. Now all i need is some glitter heels like my sister. (im really jealous of hers :) ).
