Alice

 Wanna talk about the dream? Besides being Ellen Degeneres' personal assistant...

Street art. 

Is that cliche? Even if it is, I seriously enjoy it. Its like if there is going to be a wall or building in the middle of nature, you might as well paint on it. you get me?

I found this artist, named Alice.

She's based out of Rome. (and has pieces all over Italy, maybe i'll see one this summer when i'm roaming around that place. with my sister, shout out to Catherina!)

i love this one more than life itself. And i love that she did it on a brick wall, instead of a smooth cement one. It just adds to the appeal, and texture.

Alice says:

"I create art about people and their relationships, I'm interested in
representing human feelings and exploring different points of view.
I especially like to depict strong and independant women"

little too feminist for you guys? whatever, she's amazing. One day I will do some kind of street piece. Illegally.. hopefully not. If I get good enough, it wont be. 

Art of living

“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.”

- L.P Jack

Throw back

When you got lots to think about and need to chill out. 

Indulge in a throw back or two.

Never faileth. 

and of course this classic. 

Aren't those great? 

Dew Tour part 2

 Its that time of the year again. Talia and I went down to Ogden for the Dew Tour.  Have I told you how Ogden is my favorite place in Utah? Its the beeest. Check out Last Year Dew Tour post if you would like.

This year Mac Miller was the free concert on friday night. He's a new, young, white rapper. I dig him. 

We hung out with some new and old friendships, which was great.

Talia shares me with her family and I enjoy being apart of the Contos for weekends here and there. It was so relaxing, and really refreshing to get out of Logan and into new surroundings.

my friend Ricky came up with some friends to join. enjoy the in between blink face I have.

Our toes couldnt handle standing on Ice for hours, so we took a break in the lodge by a fire, and Ricky was trying to teach me how to get a good angle for my face in photos, to help with my lack of photo-geniality. But we gave up and started looking like noobs.

...and talked politics

being forced to take photos.

 I never have a bad time in Ogden, I feel I'll always have a connection with Odgen because of the roommates i've had that are from there. Thanks for that roommates. 

oh, also this:

Its Valentines Day.. did you know? and a friend of a friend made this, i couldnt help but sneak a picture of it. Hope you enjoyed time with your lovers. I know I enjoyed my burger and Dr. Pepper and redbox movie. 

February has been pretty legit to me so far. Next on the list 

BANFF FILM FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND 

take a peek:

oh geez i love this

I am a mormon. These inspire me.

i'd wait for him

One of those kind of weekends.

It was one of those kind of weekends. That makes you think something bad doesn't? wrong again, it was one of the best weekends.  I randomly decided to go home for the weekend, because my sister had one extra seat in her car, so I couldn't pass it up.

On the way down, I got to go out with a friend of mine, had a great time. (even though we went to a BYU game; the enemy)

I got down to Vegas friday night and almost immediately got together with some friendships, headed to the movies. My buddy Big Mike gets cold in movie theaters, as you can tell.

Saturday morning, some of my best friends and I woke up at the butt crack of dawn and drove up to Red Rock to go on a nice little hike.

I was so pumped for this. Just to be outside felt amazing.

We lost the trail quite a few times, but it fed to our adventure hungry selves. Turned into more of a challenging hike... we were up for it.

Couldnt have asked for better weather.

da boys

Catherina and I

me clarifying how I could never model.

Blake....

....being Blake.

Eldon and Dylan

Belle

Blake is the perfect boy scout, he brought first aid, granola bars, oranges, enough to go around twice. He was born for the outdoors.

Writing our thoughts in the book

LV valley

i super love her

the group at the top.

we decided to run down as fast as we could without falling. It was so fun, and so invigorating. This got me so pumped for Spring and summer. Oh yes.

On Sunday we went to Logandale to Melina's casa to watch the Super Bowl, Ate great food, chatted with family.. oh and i rode in the trunk all the way there.

Me and my momma were matching and had a photoshoot thanks to Channi's iphone skills. Aren't we adorable? We sorta look alike dont we? My momma's a hawty.

Couldn't have asked for a better weekend, with better company. 

My family and friends are so great. 

It was one of those perfect kind of weekends.

reunions and goodbyes

The past couple of weeks I've been able to get together with some of my favoritest ladies in this world to reunite, and to say goodbye for quite a while. I dont want to get all sentimental on you guys, so i'm just going to recap moments here and there with some crazy photos... that basically explain a lot about these women in my life.

Firstly, my girl Kaitlyn Sprouse is serving a mission in Frankfurt, Germany, so I headed down to Vernal for her farewell a few weeks ago. Me and Kaitl, NEVER have a dull moment together. She's an incredible example to me, and i'm going to miss her alot. 

Mainly, I go through my day to day life at Utah State, and there is some event or moment in the day that makes me want to text her and laugh with her over something. From our obsession of Dr. Pepper, to laughing at our art history teachers butt being eaten by her underwear. I am truly blessed by her presence in my life. 

Kacee, Kaitl, Me, and Kora. (K cubed) These are the gals that we hung out with the whole weekend. Kacee and I carpooled there, and everytime we hang out, we regret the fact that we dont hang out more. So, our friendship flourished.

tons of laughs and weirdo dinosaur jokes... all thanks to being in Vernal. awesome place.

we really couldnt say goodbye.

AAAAANNNNNNDDDD then, best photo of the weekend. I dont expect you guys to understand. But this explains our friendship. Take that home.. chew it. Thank you Universe and fate for allowing us to take the same 3D design class freshy year. I haven't been the same person since:D

 THEN, this week Natalie Sarg. came up before she goes on her mission to Vina Del Mar, Chile. Lucky woman! Me and Nat lived together last year in the Rickity and instantly bonded over our love for the desert. Shes always a perfect example. motivated, intelligent, works out etc. Not to mention keeps our friendship fresh by keeping in contact. I LOVE that about her. 

Also Ryleigh my other old roommate came up as well. She lived with us last semester, and our place hasnt been the same without her spunk and charisma. It felt so right having these fine ladies back in my life for a day. 

half of the rickity together... this never happens.

Ryan Snow, and Nat (p.s. shout out to Snow: Happy birthday pumpkin!)

 Gosh, I'm so blessed to have met these fine folk while living in Utah for the past 4 years. I cant believe its been that long. 

And I also cant believe kaitl and Nat are serving missions, how amazing is that? They're gonna show up all those Elders and enjoy the cultures they get to experience. Jealous much? obviously.

Through looking at these photos i've also realized how little i get ready anymore. Winter does this to me.
