Oh Lovely July!

Hello world!

Got the weird urge to write in the middle of the week for some reason. Even though its ever nearing closer and closer to 11pm! Eek! I need to be like turning down the energy and instead here I am listening to really hoppy tunes (like hoppy beer) and click clacking away.

I keep looking at my calendar and I have so many lovely events coming up this month and the beginning of next.

First up, tomorrow I'm helping my aunt out at an event..taking some photos at the casino of the Cake Boss and guests. Don't really watch that show, but should be fun none the less. Anytime my Aunt Lori is around, its sure to be a blast.

Next, I'm gonna be helping a couple of friends out with their film for the 48 Hour Film Festival this weekend. So excited about that! I've always wanted to try it out. I'm excited to act again. So, that should be a super fun time!

And then on Sunday my sisters and I are meeting up with some college friends again for this creative writing group/theatre troupe/group of awesome we have going on. We were kind of on hiatus for a while. And then Sunday night is the return of Breaking Bad! Which is filmed in Albuquerque, NM! So much meth-y fun! (ew..) But that show is totally addicting...like meth! (ba-dum-ch).

And then the following weekend is our 10 Year High School Reunion. Geez! I seriously can't believe its been 10 friggin' years. (WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?!) My twin Hilary and I are helping organize it. If I could give you one piece of advice about 10 year reunions it is: don't fucking ever volunteer to organize it! ha! No, seriously. Don't. Pain in the arse. But, ya know..all the hard work is about to pay off. Finally.

AND THEN the following weekend I fly out to Michigan to help my lovely sister Angelica and her awesome husband move to Minnesota. This will be the 3rd year in a row that I fly out to help them move during the summer. They might think I don't enjoy it, cause ya know, moving pretty much sucks. BUT I love helping them! I love flying, airports, traveling, being with family, seeing new cities, being away from work. Can't wait!

AND THEN THEN Hilary and I turn 28! eek! We'll actually be in the same city to celebrate our birthday this year. Maybe that's a good sign for the year ahead.

And THEN THEN THEN Fall is right around the corner. I love fall, like whoa.

Hope your week is the most fantastic week that ever was!

Bam.

Family, Flags and Fireworks!

I had a great 4th of July with my family. First, we woke up super early to go to the parade. We're usually out of town in the mountains so this was the first time we had ever been. My great aunt Lucy is running for County Clerk so we went to show our support and cheer extra loud as her awesome float went by. I was also super happy to see a PFLAG float in this years parade! 

Once it got dark we lit a few fireworks that my sister Melanie and my brother-in-law Ryan bought. I especially loved the sparklers.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday with your friends and family! Now it's time for some more days off! :) Have a great weekend!

To the Mountains We Go!

The best skies around!

Sailboat shorts!

We headed up north to the Pecos mountains for our annual 4th of July weekend family get together..a couple of days early. We always have so much fun hanging out with the family, taking a hike, walking in the ice cold river and of course eating super yummy food.

I'm super excited for this weekend because I was able to take off Tuesday in addition to my usual Sunday/Monday days off and the holiday on Wednesday.  Huzzah for a four day weekend! Tomorrow we're gonna go to the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science to look at some dinos and a special exhibit on Albuquerque and the Personal Computer Revolution!

Hope you're all having a lovely week so far!
