The best thing that has ever happened to me! Seriously!

I just wanted to tell everyone about the love of my life. Raspberry Beret (newly dubbed) came into my life Saturday, March 22 and it has been pure bliss ever since. Let me set the scene. Recently the weather has been changing in Provo, thus making it ideal for bike riding. I love to ride bikes, it takes me back to the summer after 8th grade when my best friends and I would ride our bikes everywhere, even in the 100+ degree Phoenix temperatures, (we'd do anything for a 39 cent cheeseburger from McDonalds).
Anyways, my bike Buttercup is currently out of comission, so I have been borrowing my roomates bike. I finally decided it was time to find a new, more functional bike, I'm done with the one speed. So on that fateful day I headed over to the D.I. (local thrift store) to see what gems would be awaiting me in the bike department. I have looked for bikes at the D.I. before and choices are scarce so I wasn't really expecting anything. But, as soon as I walked in there was one of the most beautiful bikes I had ever seen, I started to check it out, 1970's Schwinn, beautiful. As I was eyeing the bike a guy came up behind me and started talking on the phone to his wife/girlfriend, he was like "yeah I am looking at the bike right now, it is the male version, they also have the female version...which one do you want?"
What! There was a female version of this beautiful bike! I immediately checked out the situation and as I turned the corner, there Raspberry Beret stood. Beautiful. She has the original raspberry colored paint, with little chipping, original basket, bell and rear view mirror. Best of all, there is a head light and back light that is powered by a generator. I grabbed that bike, sat on it and started to wheel off as that guy came over. He was like "oh are you going to buy that?" and I was like "Yes, peace out". I rode to the cash register and never looked back. Hahahahah. Kind of sad, I bet that guy wanted matching his and hers bikes for him and his lady.
Raspberry Beret was only 15 bucks, I had to get new tires but they were only 40$, total cost 55$, a small price to pay for something that totally changed my life. (pictures soon to follow)

R.I.P. Buttercup August 07-March 08

Happy Birthday M.A.

My mom just turned 52 years old on March 18. For those of you who know M.A. or lady, as we like to call her, she does not look 52. She looks good! I just wanted to give a belated shout out to my mom for her birthday. She really is the most amazing mom. She lives for her kids and she really will do anything for me. She is the least judgemental person I know and she is really funny. For example: On Christmas Eve we were watching Mr. Krueger's Christmas and my little sister Laurel said "the little girl in this movie is so adorable" to which my mom replied "yeah, but she probably grew up to be really bad looking". This is the beauty of M.A., she says stuff without thinking...and it's usually pretty hilarious. Shout out to mom, Happy 52nd!

Facebook Videos

I will admit,I usually am a big supporter of videos posted on facebook. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Diane Aikele biff it twice on a longboard. My collab on baby it's cold outside with Maddie Nielsen was a success (as were her re-enactments of "dear diary" and the "hey you" youtube girl). However, recently facebook videos have become the bane of my existence. Some may have seen the recent video posted on my sisters profile from the Rascal Flatts concert. Yes...I was very excited to be there, yes...I was screaming like a little girl, yes...I was yelling beligerent things. We had great seats, I drank out of Joe Don's water bottle and I took some great photos of Gary LeVox's jeans. Wouldn't you be excited? I guess what I'm saying is A. don't watch this video and B. if you do...don't judge me.

I made a blog...

Today I was at work, looking at my favorite blogs when I realized, I should make my own blog. Sure I see my family every week, I am not married, and I don't think that very many people will be interested in my shenanigans, but....why not? I need a constructive, creative outlet.
