project: sophistication

It's my new goal to be even more sophisticated and classy.  

"A girl should be two things. Classy & Fabulous."

-Coco Chanel

The first step is to find this lovely bag by Chanel for a price less than the going rate of $1000

Oh! And here's a couple of pictures from the Elton John & Leon Russell concert with Olivia :)

Have a lovely night :)

little surprises

Yesterday was fun and full of surprises :)  I slept in til 1pm, which was amazing, but I totally slept through my pool/tanning date with Brookie and Paige.  They got a nice little glow (Brookie's beating me now on our tan-ness), and I got to spend the day with Nick :) 
We watched that movie Seven with Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, and Gwyneth Paltrow.  It was so creepy (and kind of gruesome) but really good and thought-provoking.  Then, when it was time for Nick to go to work, I headed back to El Casa Trio.  Brooke & Paige had a little surprise in store for me...and that was going running at Tempe Town Lake since it's absolutely gorgeous outside right now in Arizona.

We actually did a really good job of running it.  It's a lot easier than running in circles like we do at the SRC fields on Workout Wednesdays.  After that, we all freshened up and Paige went to her bf's place for dinner.  Brooke and I did homework and around 11pm Olivia came over to do homework too!  We made us all pasta since we were starving and Livs had another little surprise for us.  She interns for Fall League baseball, and once she was done working the game last night, they gave her a HUGE greek salad from My Big Fat Greek Restaurant.  It was delicious :)

After a delicious meal, we all fell fast asleep.

Today is my grandma's birthday party at Olive Garden

& tonight is the Elton John concert with Olivia 

that my mom won tickets to!

We can't wait!

Who remembers MySpace surveys??

I just know that Freshman year was full of doing these bulletins with Brooke and Paige.

Now that we all deleted our myspaces, we never get to do the fun surveys anymore.  

I love them because you can read them to learn about your friends and 

do them to learn about yourself.

So here goes!  For old time's sake:

What is on your bed right now?

Me, Brookie, our computers, our phones, pillows & blankets :)

What were you doing at 8am this morning?

Sleeping & Dreaming

Have you ever been to another country?

Yess! My sister and I have been very blessed to have done as much traveling as we have.  We've been to a lot of beautiful places, and we can't wait to revisit them and explore new places!

Me & Brooke in South Africa

What was the last thing you had to drink?

Water. I absolutely LOVE water. Especially when it comes with a lemon.

When was the last time you ran?

Last Wednesday.  And now, it's Wednesday again!  Workout Wednesdays on the SRC fields at school with Paige, Brookie, and Olivia.  I'm so excited...hopefully I can run a couple more laps this week!

Are you happy?

I am so happy. Today has been a beautiful day, and I'm so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life.  Even when things go wrong, I can always turn to someone to make my day better.  Today has been amazing, though.  Brooke and I had a marketing exam (we think we did pretty well!), so that was our only responsibility of the day.  We just got back from dinner at The Parlor with mom and dad, and now we're about to spend time with our two best friends for Workout Wednesday and Sex & The City 2 :)

When was the last time you cried?

Definitely last week when Brooke and I watched The Notebook for the millionth time.  At the beginning we took bets on if we would cry or not since we've seen it a thousand times.  Of course, by the middle of the movie we were crying our eyes out--like full on crying and not being able to breath.  It is a beautiful movie.

How old will you be turning on your next birthday?

21 and I can't wait!!!! :)  Brooke and I are going to do something fantastic since we'll get to share our birthday together.

I cut out a ton of questions...it's just way too long.  But have a beautiful day!! <3

wise words from bob

"He's not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. 

But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, 

and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, 

hold on to him and give him the most you can. 

He isn't going to quote poetry, he's not thinking about you every moment, 

but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. 

Don't hurt him, don't change him, 

and don't expect more than he can give. 

Don't analyze. 

Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, 

and miss him when he's not there. 

Love hard when there is love to be had. 

Because perfect guys don't exist, but there's always one guy that is perfect for you."

-Bob Marley

smile more

I found this in my planner for school.  I actually made it my Facebook status today too & posted it here, 

so you can probably tell how much I love the quote.

"There are hundreds of languages in the world, 

but a smile speaks them all."

-Unknown
