I would be lying if I said that Arizona doesn’t have the most beautiful sunsets, because it totally does. Growing up I did a lot of traveling, and I would always judge a cities’/states sunsets compared to my home state’s (they would always fall short, of course). A major bonus of having such great sunsets is having amazing light for photos, I think that’s why I always love taking photos right when the twilight hits my pretty city.

Do you remember when I was asking on Twitter what gifts other’s had received for graduation, as my mom had been asking me what I wanted. Well, my parents ended up surprising me with the most beautiful diamond necklace. My mom said she wanted me to have something I could keep forever, something I could look at and remember that special day. This kind of made my heart melt. I will treasure my gift forever, and ever.
For my birthday my lovely friend Courtney surprised me with this pretty Anthropologie skirt. I told her I was eyeing it when I was trying out potential graduation dresses, so it was a very sweet surprised when she handed it to me the day before my birthday. Courtney seriously has the biggest heart, and I’m so happy to have her as a friend.
Today I’m just continuing to soak up my last few days in Arizona (for two months that is). When I get to Colorado I will have a lot of down time, so I’ve been thinking about what books I’m going to read and what improvements I might make to my blog. If I come up with a solid list of things I plan on doing/reading, I will definitely share.
On a side note, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t singing “Hit Me Baby One More Time” while taking these photos. Something about the knee highs and this skirt made me think of Brit and her young self, singing a song I was once obsessed with (yes, I was a Britney fan when I was a kid. There, I said it). The singing was all in good fun though. Scott had a good time laughing at me as I belted out the song word for word.
What are you up to today? What did you receive for graduation? Where you ever a Britney fan?
