Summer Here I Come!

I got my Mountain Bike yesterday!

I cant wait to take it out on the trails.


Its a Diamondback Lustre 1 ( I dunno if that means anything, but I like it).

Isn't she beautiful.

New Blog

Please follow my new blog.

I feel like I need to get back to what I know. Its relaxing and fun for me.
So I created a new blog about the fashion industry in Utah (or lack there of).

I promise not to over-post.

Thanks Rena

I can see clearly now the rain is gone...

Life Update:

Work has been going great. Very busy. The weather has been beautiful. I am ready for an action packed summer. I even came up with a fun summer goal. Maybe I have been watching too much Lost, but I really want to be able to track people/animals in the wild. Doesnt that sound like a great skill to have. I can help find lost children or finally see a moose. Maybe I will be the one who finds Susan Powells body and help solve the case. I wish my life were a blend of CSI vegas and Lost.

We leave in a couple of weeks for Austin Texas. 4 days of music, drinks, dancing, and sunny weather. Oh and Texas BBQ of course! I am so excited. I have no desire to see anywhere else in Texas. Spencer is all the cowboy and country music I need, but I do want to see Austin. Who knows I might come back with a new Tattoo.

When we get back from Texas I have one thing on my Agenda... "Get A Mountain Bike"!!!!!

Nothing too Fancy. But something to get me outside in the sun and keep me in shape.

Lets go ride!

Today is St. Patricks Day. I wore a Ireland flag pin that Rachel got me when she went to Dublin. And I plan on celebrating with a beer cocktail I saw on TV this morning. Presenting the Guiness Float

Wanna Try?

"Fuck Lent" he said

I was raised by an amazing women. She was a devote Catholic throughout adolescence and attended mass regularly. As she matured and went to college she stopped going to mass to explore other religious ventures. Christian revivals in people backyards with lots of song and dance. Or even other ways to become more spiritual: Thai Chi in the park, Drum circles, art classes, yoga, etc. In her 30's she found herself becoming a mother and wanted something to pass on to her children. So the taught them respect and reverence by taking them to Catholic mass. They learned at a early age about sacrifice, chastity, and confessing your sins.
Being one of her children raised with the privilege to see many different forms of spirituality I am comfortable to create my own level of religion and peace. I do not go to mass, but I still remember kneeling in prayer beside my mother and brother. I do not go to confession, but I do feel the need to speak my sins aloud to cleanse my guilty heart. One thing I do, every year, since I was just a child, is celebrate Lent. I like knowing I can still sacrifice something I put value on but maybe don't appreciate for 40 days and 40 nights. Its the least I can do. Really giving up coffee for Lent is the least I could do. But I enjoy Lent. It reminds me to be grateful of all the little things. So when I say "No I cant drink that, I gave coffee up for Lent." and you reply "Fuck Lent." you might as well be saying " Fuck you, fuck everything you hold dear, fuck tradition, fuck your family, and fuck anything I don't understand."
In conclusion: I am happy with who I am and what I believe. I am at peace with my religious stance and am not worried where my soul will end up. Are you? Or do you claim a religion to your family and not to your friends? Fuck that. Fuck being fake to please others. I am who I am and dammit I am stubborn.
