July Roundup

Here’s a new little feature to keep everyone somewhat updated on my life. Because let’s face it, I’m kind of a “out of sight, out of mind” person. If you aren’t immediate family or interface with me on a regular basis, I probably never talk to you. This was painfully pointed out to me by my cousin a couple weeks ago. So this is one step in the right direction. If you want more, message me on FB and we’ll set up a call or Skype date.

Happenings

Fourth of July weekend- Jam-packed. Did a bit of everything—hiked, went to parties, visited the beach—except see fireworks. Cause I was way too tired to do that after everything else.

Sunburn- the price of that weekend was a nasty, lobster-red sunburn. Who knew that it could snow in July? Ew.

Blog published- I’m a published writer! Actually, I've been a published writer for 2+ years. But anywho, read my post on the McAfee intern blog!! 

Rafting the American River- Just around the riverbend...is more river.

First kisses- the anticipations, the nerves, the 90-10 rule…sigh

Songs on Replay

Anything by Sam Smith- Just can’t get over that voice! I discovered this crooner when he covered Whitney Houston’s “How Will I Know” and have been listening to him ever since.

I Choose You by Sara Bareilles- This is so the soundtrack of my future wedding video. Sums up everything I feel about marriage. It really is a choice. Now, I won’t go any more into that and save you some major sentimentality.  *sniffles*

Food to make you hungry

Fry Bread with Cookie butter- First time having cookie butter and let me tell you, I’m converted.

Meadowlark Creamery- The best soft-serve in the Bay Area!

Chocolate Covered Bacon- 'Nuff said.
