Vacation! Oh yeah!

As of today I am on vacation for a wonderful 10 days! I'm going to see Tori (my best friend from college) in LA, going to see my sister in Seattle, and best of all - I get to see my husband!! This vacation kind of fell into my lap and it is coming at the perfect time. My work load has been really full this past month and I've pretty much turned into workaholic! I am burnt out and ready for a break.

So today, I'm headed to LA for a few days of girl time with Tor, beach time, shopping, dancing,... Perfect :) And then it gets even more perfect... Jake is flying out to see me for 4 days (woo hoo!) We weren't supposed to see eachother until Thanksgiving but he found a way to get leave and bought a ticket to come see me. It was the best surprise ever! It's been 6 weeks apart and in a few days I get to see my husband!!!

Then when Jake goes to the airport, my mom and I are hopping on a plane too and heading straight to Seattle! I can't wait to see my sister and all of my Washington family, not to mention I have lots of wedding planning to do with my sister and mom.

Basically I'm going to be hopping around the west coast for the next 10 days and I could not be more excited! Can't wait to show you the pictures!

Guess what?

I met Tyler Hilton yesterday! You know him... He played Elvis in the movie Walk the Line, he played Chris Kellar on One Tree Hill, he's a really amazing singer... and I totally met him! And at Turlock High School of all places haha. He's super nice and normal and I was the crazy one being like "I need to get a picture!" Oh yeah, it was awesome.

Comfortable?

Check out Badger's favorite new sleeping position... Love it :)

I fell asleep at the movies.

Gah! I need to get back in the swing of blogging. I love blogging but when I get busy its the first thing to go... what a shame!

Let's take care of business first. I launched my new website + template shoppe! Yessss! I wrote a Busy Thoughts blog about it // Click here to check it out. By the way, if you want to keep up with my business and my Busy Thoughts blog make sure to become a follower!

Okay but this is a personal blog now so enough business talk :)

On Sunday my mom and I decided to have a long-awaited shopping day in Sacramento... and, oh yeah, we know how to do a shopping day right! Starbucks, Nordies (of course), lunch at Nordies cafe (yes, of course), a lot of mall-shopping, walking, a little more junk food, talking, laughing... never a dull moment with us! It was a great day!

After we got back from shopping we weren't quite ready to call it a night so we decided to go see a movie. There's not much playing right now (considering neither of us like scary movies) so it came down to Wall Street or You Again. We chose Wall Street, thinking that You Again would definitely be a cheesy and predictable chick flick. We got our tickets, bought a massive bucket of popcorn (extra butter please!) and settled in for what promised to be an exciting movie...

OMGoodness. 30 minutes into the movie, I fell asleep! Who does that?? I know, I know. The movie was just sooo slow and the plot was taking so long to get interesting. Boo...

Mama had a plan though. She got on her phone and looked up the movie times for our other movie option (Who knew my mom had such sweet phone skills??) Perfect timing: You Again was starting in just a few minutes in the theater next to us.Wow, I never thought I would be able to say that I went movie-hopping with my mom! hahaha

Turns out the movie You Again was highly entertaining! And yes it was still cheesy and predictable but you know what? That's the kind of movie we need sometimes... And hey, I didn't fall asleep :)

Blog-Worthy?

I want so badly to write but I've been lacking in things to write about. My life right now overwhelmingly consists of work and school, and when I'm not doing one of those, I am just hanging around with my family and friends. I love it! I mean beside from the fact that I am across the country from my husband, life is really good right now. I love being constantly busy - thats when I'm at my best!

I feel like I haven't updated about school in a while so maybe I'll write about that today :) I've completed 4 of my main courses so far: Photoshop, HTML, CSS, & Dreamweaver. I still have another year left in my certificate program but I am absolutely loving it, especially Dreamweaver (which I completed yesterday! yes!). Literally after every lesson, I feel like my skills as a designer grow 200% and it gets me so excited to think about how I can apply my new skills to my business. In fact, I was so inspired by my Dreamweaver course that I am in the process of re-vamping my website! Okay, so add that to the list of things consuming my life lately too...

Anyways, I'll be back with more when I feel like I have something blog-worthy to write about :)
