Summer 2012 in a nutshell.

Hi. Hello. Hola?! Anyone still there?? 

I have neglected my poor little blog for over 4 months now. 

It just hasn't been a priority to journal. With the lack of internet at my house, (cost an arm and leg to get it where I live now) the only time I get to blog is when I go to coffee shops after work or on the weekends. And to be honest, I have been LAZY. 

I still check my google reader daily to read all of my favorite blogs.... but that's it. =)

I thought today was as good as any day to try and start back up. =) 

Let's start with a photo recap of the last few months...

June:

Relay For Life 

River time with my sister! 

Brew Fest with a big group of friends! 

Meeting Chris Powell at a local event!!! And yes, he is as hot and nice in person as he seems. 

SF for the day! 

Wraped Tour in SF. Took me back to highschool 

Dinner in SF and exploring. 

Cousins Bachelorette party in Reno! We had a blast and almost lasted until the sun came up.

July:

Went to NYC for a long weekend. It's my most favorite city. I dare to call it home someday... *soon*

Celebrated my cousins wedding day!

The kiss! 

Fun at the bars with friends. 

My cousin gave birth to a precious little boy.


August:

The Color Run Sacramento with my girl, Stephanie.

Added a new member to the family. Meet Boston!



Visited with out Great Grandma for her 99th Birthday! 

Went to Half Moon bay for a morning hike with our cousin. ( I have a lot of cousins.... or I just hang out with them a lot according to my descriptions..lol)

Went to another Brew fest! What can I say...I like beer? 

September:

Went to Reno. Had coffee. =) 

Went to the balloon races in Reno. Gorgeous morning. 

Headed down to LA to celebrate Leslie. We had her bridal shower on a Friday evening. After we were done, we packed up the car and drove through the night to Vegas. We arrived in Vegas at 5:45am. Just in time to see the sunrise. 

We did Vegas right. After having no sleep Friday night we stayed up for all of Saturday. We relaxed by the pool, in our huge suite, and then suited up to go out on the town. We didn't go to bed until 3:30am on Sunday morning. We stayed up for almost 2 days straight.

Sunday Morning we got up and had mimosa brunch. lounged by the pool some more. Got pretty again.

Sunday night we had dinner at Serendipity. Tried the famous frozen hot chocolate. It was also my birthday on Monday so I got to celebrate my birthday Sunday night. Sunday night was wild. But as they say, "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas".  We went to bed at 5 am Monday morning. Then flew home that same day. It was a crazy fun adventure.


I have more to September but the pictures aren't uploaded yet. It will have to be saved for another day. I'm just glad that I got to share some of my adventures for the summer on the blog before I forget about them.

Cheers!

barefoot blue jean night.

I love summer concerts. I love my friends. I love a cold beer on a Friday night.

Eric Church was awesome as well as Toby Keith. There is just something about a country concert... First of all, they are usually cheap. Second, everyone just wants to have a good time. Third, the music is just fun.

Other concerts that i hope to attend this year:

Incubus

Blink 182

oh happy days

this weekend was fun to say the least. It was random and perfect.

Friday I saw that new movie Life As We Know It! It was sooooo good!! I really think that everyone should see it! I laughed a lot and i cried a little too.

Saturday: I was expecting to have a relaxing day... haha, ya right!! I get a text message that afternoon from my friend asking if I wanted to go to the Rascal Flats concert that night. I don't ever turn down things like that... so off I was.

We used disposable cameras at the concert. it was so nostalgic! I love my friends. We have so much fun together.

Sunday, was a planned day full of fall activities. My sister and I drove up to Apple Hill to meet up with our cousins. We went wine tasting, walked around a few different farms, tried apple beer (epic!!), and had a fun lunch at a Mexican restaurant. it was a perfect day.

I hope everyone had an awesome weekend. Lets hope this work week is bearable.

P.S. Happy 22nd Birthday to my baby sister, I love you.

summer fun

This summer is flying by but that's probably because I'm having fun!

The weekend after Tahoe was a blast. I took that Friday off and headed out to the lake with a few girlfriends. One of my friends parents own a boat and houseboat and they let us use it for the weekend. It was super nice and relaxing.

I'm bummed because I didn't get any pictures from the lake. I brought my camera but when I turned it on the battery was dead. Darn!

I only stayed for one night because I had a concert to go to Saturday night. Anthony, his parents, and I headed to old town Sacramento and ate dinner at Joe's Crab shack then walked over to Raley field for the STEVE MILLER BAND concert! It was awesome! These guys put on a great show and Steve himself is still rocking. If you haven't heard of Steve Miller Band, I'm sure you at least know a few of their songs. "Fly like an Eagle" and "The Joker" are probably the most recognizable songs by them. I loved when he played "Wild Mountain Honey" though. Beautiful!

I love concerts! I hope I can go to more this year! I'm up to 4!
