b.t.w. its delicious!

thats my green apt!

hello and welcome to my new adorable townhouse!
i just keep moving up and up and up as the years go by!
im sooo lucky:)
freshmen year... horrible triple dorm room
sophomore year... nice and clean sterile on-campus apartment
junior year... fabulous green townhouse
with that said, the past few weeks have been full of moving in, decorating, "christening" parties, hanging with the roomies, and starting the quarter. were about a mile from campus and four blocks from downtown slo (i know... crazy spoiled right?) so those 50 cent coffees at uptown espresso and those froyo runs have already added up! but its the life... let me tell you!
heres a little peek into my new quarters...
my study corner
favorite piece of artwork
towel rack, or multipurpose hanger?
mi cama
terrible picture (sorry) but this was a little craft project.
made a few little jewelry holders!

p.s. i live with the three best girls ever (haley, abby, and rachel)! and i would never forget my mewy (mia) thats away for the quarter in spain but back with us in january! and to top it all off we have a two car garage, our own bathrooms, customized beer pong table, amazingly comfortable couch and living room, and my very own craft and shoe nook!

love love love love!

it's salsa time!

thanks to a little help from my sister Hannah and her good friend we made a few different batches of fresh salsa from the veggies (and citrus orchard) from dad's big garden! tomatoes, onions, peppers, spices, and tangy fruit juice all from our little farm on evans rd. they turned out great and all have there own little flavor... a spicy tomato-pepper with a big kick, a tangy citrus, fruity pineapple, fresh homeade pico de gallo, cleansing crisp cucumber, and an amazing bruschetta! deliciousss!

happy anniversary bubba!

sorry ive been MIA recently but let me tell you... the cooking and crafts are about to begin. summer school is over and nanny emily is in full bloom so ive got plenty of time to sew, cook, and craft with my little ones. but for a little bridge between the two parts of summer i got to have a little trip with my bubba! we went camping and to the monterey bay aquarium for a two year anniversary trip. i certainly love him a lot and had a fabulous time reading around the fire, hiking up the river, cooking outdoors, and watching the sharks at the aquarium with him! i love you brandon!

the good ol' outdoors

the last few days i have spent with my good high school friends, jen and alex, up in santa cruz county at the henry cowell state park for a little camping adventure. we hiked around, basked in the sun in the "garden of eden" big basin water hole, cooked up veggies and eggs, made a big huge campfire, and had a great time! best part of the trip was realizing five minutes into setting up camp that we brought a one person tent and an outdoor chair for a three-year-old.... woo jen! needless to say we had many laughs and enjoyed the great outdoors!

journeys end

oh hey cayucous! the past week i have spent most of my time (when i wasnt in summer school) at cayucous own "journeys end" green cottage on the beach in cayucous with my family and friends, and some more friends and other family and those friends of friends and more of my family and oh yea those other fun friends came too! aka it was just your average portuguese party! we had enough food to feed the country of ethiopia for a year, gallons of gin and tonics, absurd balderdash games, projection screen movie nights, sub-zero degree boogie boarding afternoons, hot sandy naps on the couch, long walks on the beach, infamous bike rides to the candy store, and the constant roar of laughter and loud conversation! it was a blast and i cant wait until next year! until then ill be fasting and dieting to lose some of the weight that i gained in the past week, but it was oh so worth it! goodbye journeys end, see you in a few!
