7.14.13

Yeah I know, it has been about nine years since I have posted anything. Don't judge me! I have been house sitting for the last week and a half, and who knew how crazy busy that would make me. This family I house sat for basically lives on a tiny farm, which was basically heaven for me. Like seriously, the live in a little cottage with things like chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc. It was so nice to get away for a little while, and have a little time for myself. I think everyone needs that every once in a while.

I figured since I basically haven't said anything prior to the fourth of July, I would tell you what has been going on in my life according to Instagram! But first I will share with you what I did for the fourth.

The fourth of July is one of my all time favorite holidays EVER! I just love spending the day outside with family, and enjoying some fresh summer air. This fourth of July I had a little BBQ with family, and then headed to my house sitting job in Pleasant Grove. I was a little bummed that I was spending the "fun" part of the fourth alone, but it ended up being absolutely amazing. I decided I wasn't going to let the fact that I was alone ruin my fourth, so I grabbed my i pod, jumped on the trampoline, and watched a 360 degree firework show. After the fireworks settled down I laid on the trampoline and looked at the stars while listening to the distant thundering of fireworks and some Swell Season. Now does that sound great or what?

Alright, now for some pictures.

 

So remember how I mentioned that I am serving an lds mission? Well so is my brother. He is going to Australia. On the fourth of July, our church put out the Mississippi flag and the Australia flag along side the American flag. It was kind of the coolest :)

 

Mississippi y'all!

Watercolors!

 

Longboarding with my main boarding lady!

 

Some lady friends and I went to the Rooftop Concert Series. This is The National Parks. They are incredible. We all may or may not have a crush on that main man right there!

We were just enjoying some Rolling Stones tributes when in walked Tyler Glenn from Neon Trees to sing a song. Did I mention he was wearing a full floral suit. Night made.

So I guess not too much has happened since I last posted. I did manage to give myself food poisoning for the first time. That was really fun... Overall I had a fun time taking care of a little farm for a week and a half, but I am so happy to be home!

Macaroons & Cinnamon Rolls

So once upon a time I was invited to go over to my lovely lady friend Annie's house to make french macaroons with some girlfriends. So I put on my Sunday best, grabbed my camera, and was off. While there we decided that french macaroons are actually quite difficult to make... So instead we decided to make cinnamon rolls!

The only thing about these cinnamon rolls is they came from a can. You know the ones I am talking about? The ones that are about as awful as a jack-in-the-box, and when it finally pops you pee a little. Oh, that's just me? Alright..

Well this was like the first time basically ever that I remembered to take my camera somewhere. Major props to me right? WRONG! Every single picture I took was blurry, so sorry everyone. I'm not a photographer. I failed.. Haha

However I did somehow manage to capture a wonderful moment on video. Oh pretty please enjoy. This is Warren.. He is brilliant, and I may or may not have a crush on him.

I also apologize for the horrendous quality of this video. Like seriously, it's bad.
