Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend was kind of stressful. I had two hard tests, I had to finish a book club book, and I was so sick that 4 nights last week I was asleep before 9 pm. Since then, I've finished my book, I got one test back (and I got an A!!!;-))..but I am still super sick. I sound like a man. HOWEVER, the best part about Memorial Day weekend is that Babsies came to town!! Having friends visit is always a treat but having Babs visit is the best. I love hanging out with her and no matter what, we always have a good time. Although I was super sick Saturday night and definitely a "fun killer", we made up for it the rest of the weekend. I would say that my favorite day was actually Monday. We started off the day hitting up this new raw food restaurant, apparently all my friends are "foodies" now, then we hitched up our bikes, drove to Salt Lake, parked, and rode our bikes around SLC all day. We had fun goofing off, chit chatting and just enjoying each others company. After SLC everyone met up for dinner, one last hurrah for Babs before all of the girls dropped her off at the airport. Luckily, I didn't cry this time when Babsies left. Out of all my friends, I still tear up like a baby whenever Babs or Janelle leave. I don't know what it is.

Mixtape Monday

I don't have any brand new songs but I am loving my Adele cd and this is my new obsession.

2 Festivals, 1 Day

Brings me back to Jersey

This weekend there were two festivals in SLC. One was called the Urban Art by The Gateway Mall and the other was the Cultural Festival on the steps of the SLC Courthouse and its lawns. Both festivals were super fun and I was grateful that the weather was nice enough to just hang out and walk around. I didn't take any pictures at the urban arts fair because it was too dark but it didn't matter because I liked the cultural festival better anyway. My favorite parts of the festival were the Brazilian/Capoeira dancers and the decorated eggs. They were beautiful! I almost considered signing up for the introductory class but for 25 dollars I'll just practice at home!

Mixtape Monday

I know I'm probably the only one who cares about sharing music every Monday but oh well. I get excited to let you fools know what I'm listening to. And if these songs come on the radio you can know that I'm jamming out to them!

Now he's found

Everyone is so used to seeing Handro, Drea, and I together so often that I think they forget we are only the oldest three of a family of eight. Sometimes I find myself explaining to people that there is actually one more brother in our "generation" and that one day soon he'd move to UT to be with us. Well... it's official ladies and gentleman. Felipe will be landing in UT on June 20th and he starts school at UVU in the fall with the rest of us!!! Utah will never be the same again. I am so excited! Felipe is hilarious,he's super fun to hang out with, and he's an all around great kid. I love my family and the more of us that can be pooled in one place, the better.

Missing my family

Everyone in my family is getting together in FL next weekend except for Handro and I. That means we're missing out on all the fn and the hot hot sun since the weather is averaging in the 90's. This means that Handro and I have been watching tons of video clips of Mia because we miss her so much. I thought I'd share the best one. Turns out Mia doesn't do much "snacking". In my family we are either eating whole meals or we aren't really eating. Pay close attention to her favorite foods!

Even Gaga needs pep talks

It's nice to know that sometimes Gaga has rough days too.




And that's exactly what I'll be saying to myself next time I'm having a bad day. Thank you Gaga.
