So I am a California girl, through and through. But I am really starting to like some of the great stuff Utah has to offer. With free outside movie's under the stars at the Capital, the Twilight Concert Series, and many more park festivals that go on during the summer, how can I complain? This past weekend I went to the Bijou Market with my friend Lauren. I was really excited because I have never been and have heard so much about it. It was so cool! There was so much cute stuff, and it was such a fun afternoon! Very inspiring and creative. I loved the location, it was in the Orchard in front of this beautiful house! I highly recommend anyone who lives in Utah to try to make it next year, as well as the Beehive Bazaar and all the other fun things I am realizing Utah has to offer....
I consider myself extremely fortunate. I have some of the best most amazing people that I get to call my friends. These two girls mean the world to me. Allie and Katy. This little trio love affair started back in middle school. Since then we have gained more friends, gone to new places, became better versions of ourselves, all in different places now. Yet when we get together again, it is as if we never left that 7th grade classroom. Back in High School on my 16th Birthday, these two beautiful girls surprised me and took me to Americana for Breakfast. It is this beautiful restaurant in Del Mar, right by the ocean. It became a tradition to go for our birthdays. Since college and life started, we have now made it a tradition to go whenever we are in town together. I always look forward to it, and always try to fit it in when I am in town even if I am there only a few days. Well last weekend, even though I had a jam packed schedule, I made time to see two of my favorite girls. I really do consider them two of my closest friends. I love them, and miss them all the time. But I know we will always be friends no matter where we live, or what we are doing. These girls are going amazing places, and I am just happy to say that I know them, and that they are apart of my life.
So this past long weekend I headed down to San Diego for my little brother's mission farewell. Since my older brother Brandon is living in Salt Lake City, he came along with me and Trevor. Boy was it a road trip. My car currently has broken air conditioning, oh and the windows don't roll down. Do you know what this means for long trips through the desert? Lets just say it got pretty sweaty....
Now I love my brother Brandon, but if you knew him, it would not surprise you that a road trip with him, would be... well not boring. He did many things throughout the road trip. These being some of them...
Yes. That is what you think it is. He didn't even want us to stop so he could use the bathroom. He just told me not to look in the back seat. Then he proudly shows me this bottle.
Then there was a lot of this...
Basically I will post more about my weekend later. But after a JAM PACKED weekend, rushing home Monday night, not getting back to the apartment until 1:30AM, then having Brandon and Trevor play Youtube videos until AFTER 2AM.... &having to wake up for work at 7AM. I am now very sick. I don't have a voice right now, and I feel mucho sleep deprived. After getting up at 7 yesterday off of no sleep. Getting into work, not getting a lunch break because I had to attend my 2 1/2 hour long class, coming back to work until 5. Then going to my night class from 7:30-9:30. Getting up this morning early for work, but sleeping through my alarm, and seeing that Brandon had to borrow my car, Trevor had to take me and Trevor's car wouldn't start and I had to walk and was late for my first time EVER at this job after almost a year....... Lets just say. I am ready for a nap.
Whenever I am sick, or am feeling sick my go to drink is Echinacea Tea. It is AMAZING, and helps build up your immune system. I swear by this tea. If you don't like tea you can take the Echinacea Pills. I wish I had this cute little submarine tea bag/leafs holder to use in my cups of tea I have been having every morning and night.
P.S. Happy Birthday today to Brandon, my crazy brother who drives me crazy, yet I love him so much :)
Thanks for stopping by! My name is Alycia, and this blog has been such a fun space for me to share everything from the very meaningful, the mundane, and the frivolous stuff that falls inbetween. I guess you could say this is a digital journal of sorts! I believe that life should be enjoyed and celebrated, and invite you to join along in the party! ❤
