My class this morning was cancelled, due to the Thanksgiving holiday, and my teacher felt we needed a break from her (finally!), and instead of driving down to downtown Phoenix, I went over to my love’s house and we made donuts and drank iced coffee.
After breakfast we decided to take some cute photos in Scott’s side yard:
(For a cute project!)
Before I left to go to my internship Scott helped me put on my lovely RVA sticker (courtesy of my awesome penpal Jaelynn!).
I have this feeling in my heart, and in my stomach that just wont go away. I am a bit ashamed to say that the reason for it is this:
This book/series did it all for me. It sucked me in so bad that I was an emotional wreck for weeks.
Here is something I wrote after I finished all four books:
“Throughout reading the Twilight series have felt: curious, abandoned, loved, heartbroken, annoyed, giddy, overwhelmed, anxious, and scared. It’s been quite the trip. I wish the series wasn’t over.”
In other news Scott and I went on a cute coffee date to Starbucks today:
In the last few months I have been seriously neglecting my DSLR camera. I bought my Sony A-100K in April of 2007 and have had some great times with it since then. Lately I’ve been opting to just use Scott’s smaller Nikon since it is much more convenient. Last night I decided to take it along with me, and here are the result’s:
This was taken when Scott and I were thrifting with Amanda, Brian, Emerson, and Steve.
Scott took this one of Amanda and I.
Spppeeeed.
More to come of those asap.
Anyways, today I went to Starbucks and got a:
Grande iced coffee. I paid for it with my Starbucks mini card (which I love):
Reading a little Plath while I was waiting for Scott to get off of work.
I also wore my TOMS today. Kind of forgot that I owned these lovely shoes.
Ok, goodnight loves!

PS Here’s a sneak peak at a project that Scott and I are working on:
Here I am, sitting in my fav corporate coffee shop, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, sipping on an iced coffee and taking a break from homework. Thought I would give a little update on my life.
Yesterday (Friday) I had five different interviews for possible internship’s for next semester. I met with people from very prestigious magazines and newspapers, and I’m hoping one of them would like to have me on their team. If not, that’s ok and I’ll be just fine.
After I got done with my interviews I met Scott at this cute new coffee shop in downtown by my school, and decided to head for Tempe Marketplace. At TM we had lunch at Paradise Bakery, and then went and saw New Moon.
Here are my thoughts on the movie:
The movie was better than the first in the series. The acting was better, the makeup was better, the boys were better looking, and overall the movie left me with a sense of emptiness for a period of time, just like the book did.
There were parts where I know they left stuff out, and changed a few things around. Overall though, I am extremely happy about the movie and how true it stayed to the book. The imagery was well spoke to my heart. Being a girl with a love for the Northwest, it made me feel at home. I am extremely looking forward to the next installment of the series.
Here are a few pictures from the movie for you Twilight saga fans to get mushy over (much like I did):
Not from the movie but stillll:
So cute!
Oh geeeez!
After the movie Scott and I did a little running around and ended up at Bookman’s where Scott and I both found some pretty neat things, including a Simon and Garfunkel greatest hits record and a few Christmas presents for family and friends. We made macaroni and cheese and peas for dinner, and watched Panic Room.
Today I plan on working on more homework, working on Scott and I’s advent calendar, possibly going on a bike ride, and doing something with Amanda!
Here is an update of my weekend (I know, I know, I’m always late on these but hey, better late than never right!), and today:
Friday:
My love and I had our weekly Friday morning coffee date. Lately we’ve been going to this cute coffee shop called 3 Roots Cafe that is literally two minutes away from where my internship is. The cafe is generally not very busy when we get there, so we always get our coffee extremely quick and then have about 40ish minutes to spend sitting outside chatting and enjoy the chilly weather.
Mmmmm iced americanos are the best!
Later that evening Scott and I hung out with our friend Amanda, and end up going to Brian and Lindsay’s apartment. Afterwards we ended up going to a local carnival, Name Brand Exchange, and Extreme Bean to get some much needed caffeine at 8 o’clock at night. ;]
Blurrrry.
This is so, so sweet<3
He’s crazzzy!
Awwwh!
Saturday Scott and I made plans to go see his grandparents at the very cute coffee shop that they own in old downtown Glendale. Our lovely friend Amanda joined us again that evning and we had a lot of fun on the drive there, walking around old downtown, sipping coffee and eating sandwiches. Did I mention that we took lots of photos as well?
Walking in old downtown Glendale.

In the Pink de Ville area at the Pink House!
Eating sandwiches at the Mighty Cup and Spoon!
Playing the piano at the coffee shop!
Late Saturday night we also ended up at Goodwill and found this amazing piano that Scott and I would have bought if we had a place to put it:
Friends since November of 2006<3
Sunday was spent doing homework, cleaning, and eating soup with my love.
Today I went to class, ate a yummy grilled cheese and tomato sandwich made by my love, and got coffee at Maui Wowi (Scott had a gift card to there for almost a year, so we decided that we really needed to go and use it) with Amanda, and Scott. Later on Scott and I had dinner with my grandma, picked up my mail, and did homework.
Iced skinny hazelnut latte, hot americano, and a hot cinnamon mocha latte!
Tomorrow after class I’m hoping for a bike ride, and then Scott and I are going to his grandparent’s coffee shop for movie-on-the-wall Tuesday! I’m thinking a dirty chai is must as well, and possibly a stop at the Pink House to look around the Pink de Ville area again!
Before I go, I have a question for you, my lovely blog friends. Do any of you do advent calendars for Christmas? I’ve never had one, or at least that I can remember, and really want to have one this year. What kind of things do you put in yours? I’m thinking my boyfriend Scott should put things in it for half of the month, and I should put stuff in it for the other half so each day will be a surprise for at least one of us. I would love if you would also link me to any photos that you have of your advent calendars! Thank you in advance! :]
