Popeye loves everyone

First red tomatoes of the season!

Venezia's with Josh

Pecos sesh with Josh and Sean before Sean leaves for Michigan. It was hot. Really hot. 

Buds. Seconds before I took this picture, Sean had his shirt up and was either trying to tan his belly or air it out. I don't know which. 

Josh turned 21!!

Josh is #upforwhatever on Mill. 

Chase loves pictures. This was at Moonshine. 

My mom's in town this week, so touristy stuff that I haven't even been to yet is in order. We went to hole in the rock with Mo. 

Mo's absolutely stoked to be at hole in the rock

She loves ice cream. We went to old town Scottsdale and stopped at Sugar Bowl. 

Popeye loves my mom. Look at them!

School trip

Tour around Mill to see the bunnies

We hang out sometimes..

Chik-fil-a

Popeye is in heaven when mom comes home

Chase! It's only 10:30!

Took my mom to the Phoenix Art museum and all I got was this picture. 

Recently

Note to self and anyone who actually keeps tabs on this blog: I really stink at updating. If I were you I would just check in like twice a year. You might see a new post. You might not. Who knows?

Anyway.. this is a "recently" post, hence the title. 

Recently:

Favorite midnight snack: Hard boiled eggs. Don't ask me why. They just taste so good lately. 

Favorite meal: smoothies. I'm back at that smoothie game and your girl can make a mean banana-berry smoothie!

Favorite song: Crash and Burn - Thomas Rhett. Country, really radio-y, catchy, kinda whiny. Why do I like it? I have no clue but I do. It just makes you want to bob your head to the beat and kinda dance around. 

Favorite podcast: Ask Me Another. It's pretty much like jeopardy with a bunch more chitchat. I'm not a huge fan of all the chitchat. If anyone can find me a podcast that is almost exactly like Jeopardy, I'll be forever indebted to them. 

Favorite movie: still don't have one. Movies are kinda lame and I can never remember what happens after a day. 

Favorite time to go to bed: 2 am. Because I haven't been able to get to bed earlier than that in a while. 

Favorite state: Arizona. Duh. That's why I live here. 

Favorite park: Tempe. I never thought I'd say this, but I love tempe park. It may be that it is the only park we go to anymore or it may be that I love the bowl, but it's a really fun park. 

Favorite thing to do (besides skating): bike rides. There was a week, when it was still sorta chilly out, that I went on a bike ride almost every night. Mo an I did ten miles one night! I tried going today but it was windy and my legs were not up to it. I'm thinking about riding my bike to work tomorrow. Maybe if I get up early enough... 

That's all for now. I have pictures on my phone that I'm too lazy to upload and a video I'm (hardly) working on of my first year in Arizona. It's not going to be accurate footage because I'll probably really start filming in a few days, but you'll listen to a few good songs and watch people you don't know doing random things. You'll love it. Till next time!

Just a thought..

You know how sometimes you hear a song and you get a flood of memories and feelings? Or you see a picture and all of a sudden you long to be somewhere or see someone that you haven't seen in a really long time? Well, that was pretty much my whole day today. I turned my iPod on for the first time in a long time and just sat and listened. Went on a bike ride and listened. Laid in my bed and listened. Sat while typing this and listened. And remembered. And longed. And was happy. Happy for all the experiences and people I've had in my life. Without them, I wouldn't be the person I am today. And I like me. I really do. I've changed and grown and can truly say that I like me.

Just a thought.
