Overdue..

Dang, I haven't been good at keeping up with my blogging!

Well, I won't attempt to remember all the happenings in my life over the past couple weeks, so I'll just fill you in on my lovely day today.

This morning, my sis and I went on a little hike. It was nice since a lot of the hike was in the shade. It;s been miserably hot lately, so hiking in the afternoon isn't really an option! lol

Later on we broke out my Henna kit and had fun with that. I've never used Henna before, so it was a learning experience. I think I would be one of those people who, after getting one tattoo would keep on getting more, so I'll stick with Henna. I know I would get bored with the same 'ol tattoo, so it's good for me to have the power to change it if I want! haha

This evening I hung out with my buddies Brenna and Elizabeth, and we played the game "connect". It was fun! Elizabeth's husband, David came after a bit and played it with us. Fun day!

Oh! I do have some exciting news though. One of my good friend, Tirzah just got engaged! Lots of weddings, and engagements have been going on lately. It's so crazy! lol My sis and I are starting to feel left out, but we keep reminding ourselves that we have the rest of our lives to be married, so we should enjoy our singleness. lol..... ;)

Ah, I keep coming up with more things to talk about!...I suppose that's a good thing? I've been in a crafty mood lately, and the only things I've really had on hand is stuff to make jewelry, but I did enjoy making some pretty headbands! It's definitely a lot cheaper making them yourself rather than buying them. That's if you hit all the right sales, of course. ;) I've also been having fun experimenting with makeup. I think I have a slight addiction to the stuff! I found this brand called e.l.f (eyes, lip, face) and I really like a lot of their stuff, and it's REALLY cheap too, which is always a bonus. ....I didn't make the robot ring, I just found it, and thought it was too cute to pass up! lol

If any of you are stumped on what to read this summer, I highly recommend reading, "Heaven is For Real" by Todd Burpo. It's an amazing true story! I have only recently started reading the book, but I've heard their story on T.V and it's incredible! Go read!

Finally! :)

So, today, after many months of searching, and saving, I bought my first car! lol I call it my granny car since practically the only people I see on the road with these are older people. :) I named her Bertha, named after my great grandma. haha

God is definitely faithful to provide the things we need, and I'm thankful he brought me this car...I'm totally gonna make the granny car cool with the younglings! ;)

Beautiful Colorado

Just got home from a lovely hike with some friends. We went at the perfect time, escaping the afternoon heat. It's the first time I've been on this trail. I'm surprised I haven't been there before. I totally fail at being from Colorado. lol you'd think I'd know where every hiking spot is by now. haha

That lizard was so kind to pose for me. :)

The rock tried to eat me...

Farmer's Market.

So, I started out my day with a fruit whey protein shake. I've been on a fruit smoothie kick! Then later for lunch I had a salad, and some Greek god yogurt. I'm obsessed with this stuff. lol

My friend Amanda wanted to get some girls to go down to our local farmers market, and walk around in summer dresses, so we did! Fun evening, and I'm up way too late. Some of us are going on a hike tomorrow morning, so that should be fun. Man, it's been way too long since I've been hiking, and it's sad since I enjoy it so much. Hopefully I'll start going more the rest of the summer.

Before the downtown fun, I wanted to get some more stuff organized in my room. I still have plenty of storage left in my new desk, so I'm having fun organizing. I definitely got a steal with this desk at goodwill!
lol So while I was cleaning my room, I popped in my comfort movie, the Lord Of the Rings. (the extended versions of course) I only made it through a little bit of the movie though. haha :)

Well, my bed is calling me, so goodnight! :)
