'murrica.

the holiday weekend started with a trip to cville and a patriotic photo recreation.

july 4, 2010/july 3, 2013

we're adorable.

i don't even know, but i love this girl.

and utah has pretty great fireworks. 

(when there aren't restrictions!)

we drove back to ptown late late full on in n out.

and i had the hardest time waking up in the morning, but i did it!

and i saw my very first and probably very last freedom festival parade.

and it was very long.

so we got in the pool and napped and shopped for a picnic.

and i got no decent pictures of that picnic, but it was fun and it was magical.

i love my friends.

and i love fireworks.

(i love them a lot. i usually cry. wooo 'murrica!)

happy summer solstice!

one day,

 not so long ago, 

we had a summer solstice eve/summer solstice party.

the night of the 20th we drove up provo canyon, 

and watched a scary movie!

(house at the end of the street)

all four of us watched in the back of my car.

let me tell you how comfortable that was.

it's okay.

we like each other.

then friday morning we woke up at 5 and drove to the saratoga hot springs to watch the sunrise!

we waited a long time.

i forget that the sun has lots of extra feet to climb before we can see it here.

no sea level ish.

anyway. we all got less grumpy and took a dip in the springs.

and then i went back to bed.

if you do that, then do this.

story time

One time I was in California, and we were walking the Huntington Beach pier.

I saw a group of people: an Asian news reporter & an Asian cameraman, interviewing an Asian man, and there may or may not have been some observers (who were Asian).

And I said,
"Guys! Maybe we'll be on Asian television!"

And Kyle said,
"Um, that's ABC News."

And it totally was.

I am really good at this.

If someone was to ask me about my talents, one of the only things I could say is that I've learned to

say no.

I do not do things that I don't want to do.

I've gotten a little too good at this?

Like, I think it's inhibiting my growth a little.

I'm good at keeping myself happy, 

but it's limited some of my experiences (cause I'm scared).

Help?

Also, every personality test I take says I'm an extrovert.

I was positive that that had changed since I went to college.

But it didn't. I'm actually on the E/I line on the Meyer's Briggs test.

Anyway, that really helps my talent.

I'm good at being alone. I don't mind much if people do things without me.

I do enjoy meeting new people, but it helps to have a wingman.

But then I get lost behind that wing.

I'm not loud enough to be heard.

Just having some thoughts about change.
