New header photos call for special blogs to say thank you to my one and only, john scott goodson for creating this beautiful picture for my blog. I’m such a lucky girl. I couldn’t have asked for a better person in my life<3
On a side note, today I went to the mall with my mom and Jared and was thrilled when i discovered that there was a boba tea shop there! Jared loves boba too so we each got one. I got just a regular peach tea with boba in it and Jared got a green apple smoothie with boba in it! They were both super yummy and I’m thinking we might have to go again tomorrow if we have time.
On another side note, I met a band by the name of Shinedown tonight. Apparently they are pretty big and everyone in the area seemed to know who they were except me. From the few minutes that I had to listen to their music they appear to be similiar to Puddle of Mud? Correct me if I’m wrong.
Yeah, yeah I know I’m a day late on this but I was so tired after I got done working last night that I just couldn’t muster up enough energy to write this. Anyways, I’m here now and I’m craving some Starbucks so let’s make this quick!
1. Tickets to see Brand New and Mancherster Orchestra on October 22nd (two days before Scott and I’s three year anniversary!) at the Mesa Amphitheater!
2. For someone to take proffesional pictures of Scott and I. I would love to recreate this photo:
3. The new FUN album, which I probably will be purchasing later today!
4. One of these lovely plaid bows from RVA.
5. Taro yogurt with fresh berries and coconut from Yogurtland!
6. An iphone. Oh only if the iphone would carrier over to Verizon. The day will come!

10. Also, this lovely bubble tea print from RVA!

Oh, and I made these on some silly website the other night:
So I’ve been making crochet headbands as one of my projects for the farmer’s markets Scott, Lindsay, and possibly Whitney, will be at in August or September. These are only a few of the ones I’ve made but they all pretty much have the same concept. Let me know what you guys think of them and any ideas you have about them. I’m also open to trades :]
These include vintage buttons, cloth flowers, and crocheted flowers!
So yesterday I drove around 320 miles from Grand Junction, Colorado to Rock Springs, Wyoming. It was a boring, ugly drive with lots of roadkill to keep my stomach queazy the whole time. My cousin Jared rode with me in the car and at some points it was nice to have someone there with me, but we definitely do not enjoy the same music and got pretty irritating when I had to listen to him complain about mine and have him explain to me how closed minded he is. Anyways, when we finally got here and had eaten dinner last night I was beyond exhausted and decided just to go to bed and update my blog this morning. 10 things I love:
1. These crochet hair ties that I plan on making:
2. Regina Spektor’s new album “Far” that I just downloaded:
3. Crocheting. I’ve been crocheting for quite some time now and it was always something that came so naturally to me. Knitting is lovely as well, but crocheting has my heart.
4. These crochet flowers that I also plan on making:
5. Iced coffee, that I am craving right now.
6. TOMS, I am in desperate need of a new pair and I kind of adore these:
7. 500 days of summer that I am dying to see. I adore Zoey Deschanel:
8. Bing cherries, lots and lots of them.
9. The idea of almost being two weeks away from seeing my sunshine. I have been gone far too long.
10. This book that I bought last week that speaks of Vegan dieting:
I’m off to spend a day crocheting, reading, and adventuring.
I’m driving around five hours today to make it to Rock Springs, Wyoming, or as many people refer to it as, the armpit of America. I am not the least bit of excited to go to Wyoming, however that does mean that I am one more week closer to being home.
On a lighter note, I want to dress like this every day:
I got the idea for wishlist Wednesday from elsie cakes’s blog, but then I saw Lindsay had also had her own wishlist Wednesday blog day today so I figured I might as well it give it a wack.
Wishes:
1. To be home with my sunshine (only 3 more weeks!)
2. A boba tea (will be getting one asap when I get home.)
3. Dresses!
4. Lens cover for my DSLR because i finally broke mine after years of dropping it.
Sunday morning I left Gunnison, Colorado and headed back to Grand Junction (the city my summer pretty much revolves around). That afternoon I went shopping for craft supplies at Michaels, and made a few stops along the way (Borders, natural food market, sunglass shop). Afterwards I worked on a few of craft projects and just hung out the rest of the night.
Monday my cousin Jared and I went to go get me coffee at my fav coffee shop in downtown Grand Junction. He let me sit for awhile outside and just enjoy the nice breeze that was flying by around 10 a.m. Afterwards we went to the mall where he bought a new pair of sneakers (Jordan’s? He’s obsessed with Nikes!) and I bought cute school supplies.
Around 1 p.m. we went and saw Bruno at the movie theater across the street from the mall. We had both been really wanting to see Bruno, but about 5 minutes into the movie I knew I didn’t really want to see it anymore but it was too late to back out so I sat through around 2 hours of very vulgar, yet funny at times, humor and covered my eyes a lot haha. Later on that evening my family and I went to eat at a Chinese Buffet, and then to see Harry Potter, which I loved!
Today, Tuesday, Jared and I got up bright and early and made it to a Starbucks by 8 a.m. for Free Pastry Day! I was really worried that there would be a super long line and we wouldn’t end up getting our free pastry, but it turns out not as many people as you would think knew about the deal around here and we only had to wait for two other customers to place their orders. Here is what Jared and I got, Jared: stawberries and cream frap with a slice of lemon pound cake, Myself: skinny vanilla latte and a bran muffin with apple and cherry bites in it. My muffin was super yummy and I will definitely be having another one sometime in the future.
The rest of the day was filled with running errands and working.
Here is a few pictures to sum up my last few days:
Cute school supplies (pens, pencils, paper, recycle chip bag folders and pencil holders (one for me, one for scott) and my new fav yellow purse that I got for 15 bucks!
Letter from my great Uncle George to my Great Uncle Wolf from 1989 that mentions how my mom and I just visited him (letter borrowed from my Uncle Pete). Letter included a very large family tree that dates back to the 1500’s and states that one of our ancestors came over on the Mayflower, and my Great Uncle Wolf’s arm discharge papers. This was very cool to look at and I just had a to take a photo of it all together.
Free Pastry Day!
The man that holds the key to my heart. My sunshine John Scott Goodson<3
Lastly, Scott bought me this beautiful Minolta film camera from Goodwill today for 4 dollars. I am more than excited to use it and so thankful that my baby thought of me when he saw it!
Is it Sunday already? Time for another 10 things that I love this week/have been inspiring me this week. Here it goes:
1. Cute cottages that I desperately want as my own:
2. Drinks out of Mason Jars:
3. Yellow purses (I saw a lady walking around with a yellow purse yesterday and i instantly fell in love with it. I’m hoping to pick one up at Target that I say earlier today on sale tomorrow!
4. Painting. Today I started on a painting (on wood) and I’m rather excited about it. This summer is bringing out parts of me that I always wished for, but never knew I had.
5. The thought of selling things at a Farmer’s Market with my sunshine and friends in the fall.
6. The thought of buying school supplies oh so soon! By the way, yes, I do know that I am 21 years of age but I still love buying/having cute school supplies.
7. Almost three weeks and counting….
8. Cute dresses!
9. Getting my organize on!
