Busy Busy Busy


These past few days have been extremely busy! I got a new tattoo, went garage sale hunting with my mom, celebrated fathers day AND had a girls day at the Aquarium in Denver! It has been crazy :D I am also preparing to move on the first so I've been crazy packing and organizing boxes, boxes and more boxes!
Okay, so I've been good busy but busy nonetheless!

Father's Day started with Erik and I's trip to Yoder!
We stopped at the ONLY gas station (Fuel B's) and stocked up :)
Once we got to my parents house my dad showed us around his new green house! My dad has quite the green thumb I might add! Then we chowed down on steaks from the grill, played with the dogs, took pictures and later watched a movie as a family :)

I have always been a "daddy's girl," for as long as I can possibly remember! I was always the tomboy and loved watching Tales From The Crypt with my dad late at night and eating junk food. As I got older and was more rebellious he always sought to see my view on things even when others did not! Now that I am officially grown he still is always there for me, makes me laugh and continues to teach me things! I love you so much Daddy!

Beside the Father's Day festivities I also scored an awesome record player, a board for my new kitchen and a sweet 500 page coffee table book on the ancient Egyptians while garage sale hunting with my mom :)
Today, I went to the Denver Aquarium with my mom and sister. It was a lot of fun!
heh creepiest face EVER!!! 
All in all it has been a wonderful last few days :D

double date!


This lovely evening Erik and I, my sister Caitlin and her boyfriend Tyler had an adventurous double date :)
We hiked the beautiful Colorado mountains and cooked hot dogs over an open fire! It was a whole heck of a lot of fun! Then we headed home! I'm seeing some cuddle time in the very near future :)
(and yes the occasion called for no makeup :))

Splendid Monday

This Monday my mom and two sisters surprised me with a girls day! We got up early and ate lunch at this quaint little cafe style restaurant called Bon Tons in Old Colorado City. We gossiped like girls, ate delicious sandwich melts, and enjoyed each others company! We talked about how my dad is starting to go a little googly eyed for babies :) (perhaps grandchildren in the near future), what my plans are for moving into my own apartment again in about a month (love my roomies but miss my own space) and in general just talked about all things girly! It was a fantastic change from my ever present male testosterone filled townhouse :)

The Best turkey and cheese avocado melt EVER!

After lunch we shopped around all the little stores together and picked out some gifts for my Aunt for her Birthday. We also decided to go to Puttin' On The Paint next weekend and paint something for my dad for Father's Day :) My Mommy also bought us some tiny little hand decorated gifts that look like they're straight from Etsy! It was Splendid!

After all the shopping and talking we went to my Aunt Marie's birthday party! :D
THE cutest, most delicious vegan cake made at Whole Foods by my friend Spencer :)
My adorable cousin Lydia
My adorable family :) :)  
After all the excitement we all went to Starbucks...mmmm green tea :)
Overall it was a most joyous day! I hope yours was great as well :)
