Summer 2010

4th of July Fireworks

New family puppy.  Her name is Bella C.  She is adorable, playful and sassy.  I am just in love with her and want one of my own.

Lots of pool time.

 

 

And lots of {love}!

Dear Blog,

I have to apologize for my lack of efforts to keep things updated on this blog.  This semester of school really has been a doozy.  I have two finals tomorrow and then I promise to you and all of my readers (if there are any left,) I will update you with this summer's events and future things heading my way.  I hope that you like your refreshed look, I decided that instead of school pride, having pride in my major is important too.  Now that I took a few moments to give you some attention, will you forgive me in my neglect, and be satisfied with my efforts until later next week for some more attention? 

Okay back to studying....damn school.

Gay 2010!

It is a yearly tradition for me to attend the Pride Parade for the Pride weekend in Utah.  My honorary girlfriend and bee, SandyPants, invites me to walk with Wells Fargo Bank.  I am so happy to show my support for this.  What is better then dancing down the street, chasing rainbows, and staring at half naked cowboys?  Who cares if they are gay...if they have the courage to cage dance on the street in cowboy boots and cutoff shorts, I am going to stare at their very nice 6 packs. 

Gregg's first Pride Parade.  What a good sport...he really wanted to bedazzle his shirt, but we just ran out of time.

New York!

I {heart} New York.  I love the hustle that everyone is in, the food is so good, and there is just something that makes me love it.  Although, Utah is my home, I wouldn't mind making "The City"* my home #2. 

*Depending on where you are from "The City" could be a number of places, but New Yorkers call New York City, The City.  I think that it is lives up to its name. 

Cape May, NJ

Dave and Rhea's wedding.  The reason we got to go to the east coast.  The background is Congress Hall, it is the old retreat for the president.  It is in Cape May, NJ, and it looks nothing like the "dirty jers".  It was really beautiful.  A perfect place for a wedding.  Besides the wedding (probably the best I have ever been too), we got to stay beach side for $100.00.  How great is that?

Tiffany and Co.  Really a girl's dream come true is just to visit this store.  6 floors of sparkling and beautiful-ness that you really can't describe.  The price tags aren't so pretty, but I really have not seen anything as breathtaking as a Tiffany diamond.  This was just not in the case, but actually on my hand.  The dream engagement ring on my left ring finger, I really can't explain how my heart was fluttering.  Even if Gregg rolled his eyes 9 times over the expansive expense, it was really worth it.

Time Square.  There is so much going on that you would have to visit this place several times and for several hours.  It is packed to the brim with shows, food, clothes, hotels, people and stuff.  It is the hub of the city.  You can't help but stare at everything.  It was quite the experience of trying to juggle a wristlet, coffee, and a breakfast sandwich, but I managed with a little help from Gregg.  Good thing he knows how to walk with 2 coffees while eating a sandwich, it must be the New York in him.

JAZZ!

I love the Jazz...I haven't always loved the Jazz, but I have fallen in love with them the past few years.  I just love going and screaming and being some of the loudest fans in the nation, and supporting them even when they break my heart. 

I recently converted Gregg to a Jazz fan.  It wasn't hard.  He doesn't really follow basketball and he didn't love the Knicks, so it was kind of a done deal on him rooting for his current home team rather than his actual home team.  I am sure if there was a basketball team in Long Island he would root from them over the Jazz though.

Gregg even had faith that they would beat the Lakers and he is now a Lakers hater. I love him. What more could a girl ask for??

Shoes!

Especially for me...designed by me...

Thanks Gregg for my birthday gift!  Love you, love them.

Making a difference

I am sure that everyone's goal in life to make some sort of difference in the world or on someone’s life. Well I wanted to let YOU know, that YOU have made a difference in my life. Rather it is making me motivated to work out harder, eat healthier, do better in school, spend more time with friends and family and less time worrying about my stressors, focusing on the good times rather than the rough times or just making me realize who I am. YOU know who YOU are and YOU have definitely changed one person's life.






Love, T
