Vacation

So yesterday was my last day at work for 2 weeks! Then I will go back for one more week and then leave for school. On the one hand it kind of stinks because that's less pay but on the other I have a ton of time to wrap things up before going back to school. My "vacation" came at a good time too because my grandparents and cousin arrive today to spend the week with us, my dad's birthday is tomorrow, my family and I are going to a family reunion crabbing thing (would be so much better if I actually liked crab haha oh well) on Thursday and next week we are leaving Wednesday to go to Silverwood Theme park in Idaho with family for 4 days.

This pair of shoes was awaiting me Sunday on my bed when I got home. My sister had seen them at her work (Famous Footwear) and bought them for me, how sweet! At first I wasn't sure about them but then I put them on and they are so cute on! It was such a nice surprise at the end of the day. Then yesterday my sister, mom, and I had a "girls day" which consisted of olive garden, shopping, and Jamba Juice. My mom stocked up on her soaps at the annual hand soap event at Bath and Body Works. I love having those soaps in the bathrooms and kitchen! And I convinced her to buy one that was my particular favorite...

I mean how cute is that! A Halloween hand soap! and the pumpkin glows in the dark too bad I will be at school and not able to really enjoy using it but maybe I will just go buy one for our apartment.

Eat.Pray.Love....Eat Some More!!!

So today I saw the movie Eat.Pray.Love with my nana, papa, and dad. So maybe the title doesn't have eat some more but hey why not! Well I kind of have mixed feelings about the movie. I felt that is was way longer than it needed to be (almost 2 1/2 hours) and I couldn't really decide how I felt about the main character Liz. On the one hand I felt she was a silly girl who ran around the world trying to fix her problems when she could have stayed home and done that...it's called life! BUT on the other hand it is the perfect girl movie. A girl who isn't sure about where she is who takes off to see the world, make new friends, and rediscover herself seems so enticing. So maybe not the movie you go to see at the theater but rent with your girlfriends and watch on a girls night.

Zach and I watched Shutter Island last night and I also had mixed feelings about this one. Overall it's a good movie but not what I expected. First I pictured scary, then after talking to others who had seen it thriller, but after watching it myself I would say mystery. I think the expectations I had prior to watching it made more of a letdown. Zach and I decided it was a good but not great movie and not exactly what we were expecting.

Camping

So to be completely honest, I don't think I will be continuing with the 30 articles of clothing for 30 days... I honestly don't have a lot of variety to my wardrobe and taking pictures each day is just not working out for me haha.

However I will post pictures of camping! My high school friends and I went camping this last weekend for our 3rd annual summer camping trip! We went to Sun Lakes State Park and it was beautiful!

So many things went wrong, too many to really go into but the important part is that we still had a good time and things worked out, well sorta haha. A couple you should know is 1 the one tent we brought which was a 10 person tent was missing the poles to hold up the additional rooms of the tent and 2 we had to switch sites after one night so instead of tearing down the tent the boys through it on top and drove it!

We went cliff jumping on Saturday which was pretty fun! We jumped off the 30 and 10 foot cliffs. There was a 60 foot one but I'm SO glad the boys didn't do that one.

So my camera has this feature on it that allows you to highlight one color and I love it! here are some photos I thought were kind of cool.

This next one I was trying to take a picture of the beautiful scenery as we were driving home and didn't realize the color highlight was still on.

My nana and papa are here this week so I will be spending a lot of time with them :) Also today is 2 years and 10 months for Zach and I , almost 3 years! I can't believe it. AND I made a fantasy football team tonight, yep don't really have a great idea of what i'm doing but it will be fun I hope!
