heather's 22nd

heather's 22nd birthday was last month in january and we had a great night going to pf changs (so heather could eat some yummy gluten free food) and then seeing a band play at house of blues in downtown disney. happy late birthday heather! looking forward to going to washington with you this summer!!

i had to include an this blue picture of me, jessica, and nat in honor of tobias funke ;)

coffee with tricia

last month i got coffee with tricia. it's always so much fun spending time with her. our three hour coffee date flew by way too fast, so we have another date planned for tomorrow. however, it probably can't be three hours this time since i have too much studying to do for the CPA exam. stupid CPA, can't you just automatically give me a passing score? that would be much appreciated.

mouse rat

best present i've bought myself in a long time. and i bought natalie one too, of course. because if we're being honest, she's the bigger chris pratt fan. our friend, siaira, even gave natalie a photo of chris pratt in a frame for christmas. i think she might have cried when she received it. maybe. anyways, mouse rat is andy's (chris pratt on parks and rec) band. the back of the shirt even says what mouse rat was formerly known as. definitely always gets a good chuckle out of us.

you dont say no to a slurpee

i'm not saying it was the best idea to consume taco bell for dinner + a giant slurpee for dessert before playing bond/007 (basically a giant game of hide and seek against people in cars) a few hours later, but it was worth it. 

dancing in the living room

natalie and i are going to a wedding next weekend. so we need to be prepared in case they play "come on eileen". so we had to practice our dance moves and finalize our choreography. and of course, i had to share it on here. i know, you wish you had been there with us to partake in our dancing in the living room.

studying

studying for the CPA sucks. and i'm literally only four days in. and i hate it so much. so little breaks with casey in the front yard are definitely going to be needed throughout the days ahead. plus, i can feel it getting warmer and that makes me happy. but also, it's going to suck that my spring and summer will consist of studying all the time. ugh. oh well, it will be worth it, right? right.

sundays are for sister dates. v.2

sundays are for accidentally missing church since the shower was taken when you wanted to get in, since your sister's alarm didn't go off, and by the time you got out of the door you realized you needed gas. sundays are also for going to bagel me instead and wandering around target looking at justin bieber cds and anything else that catches your eye. this sunday was also for a birthday brunch with good friends and mimosas (yummy!). it was also for catching up on mario party skills and defeating rick in a game. and of course, sunday was for watching the walking dead. always watching the walking dead. amen.

 

hikes, hikes, and more hikes. just the way i like it.

i'm pretty sure me and my friends were on a hiking craze in january. and it's still going on in february. i like it. feels good to get outside and get some exercise. plus, there's even a really nice trail right behind my house. peter's canyon in tustin is always a fave, the trail behind my house is super convenient, and the latest one that we discovered in irvine was pretty good but we had no idea how long it went for so we had to turn around at one point and go back the same way. maybe one day i'll figure out how long it is and do the whole thing. here's to more hikes in 2013!

 

valentines day

i had a really great valentines day yesterday. my homemade cinnamon rolls ended up tasting gross (i blame the dough), but my pop tart/pastries turned out amazing. i'm thinking i'll make them again this sunday for a friend's birthday brunch. also, i'm really really proud of my card making skills. like, i'm so happy it actually turned out looking like it was supposed to! it was well worth staying up late to finish making it. and, my tulips were perfect (my favorite flower :) and i'm trying not to kill them accidentally or prematurely. hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday!

happy galentines day!

no, that wasn't a typo. happy late galentines day! if you don't know what galentines day is, go search it on youtube or google from parks and rec (man have i mentioned how much i love parks and rec?). it's basically just a day to celebrate your girlfriends and friendships with them. anyways, i just wanted to acknowledge all of my wonderful girlfriends on here in honor of galentines day. they're all amazing women and i love them dearly. happy galentines day girls! let's eat waffles soon to celebrate ;)
