Green Machine

Hello lovelies!

What did you do this past weekend?  My sister, brother-in-law, and baby niece were in town for the past week so we hung out with them :) ... until they left on Sunday night :(  I miss them oh-so-very-much, but that's life as an adult I suppose.  The upside is that every time either one of us visits the other, we are lucky enough that it means we get to travel to a vacation destination (they live in Orlando and we live in Phoenix) -- so that's a win-win!

I got this green skirt back in high school [you can see the ripped lining in the last picture ^... whoopsies!  I just can't retire it no matter what! :P].  Who knew it would still be one of my favorite pieces I own all these years later?  Do you have any ancient articles of clothing that you just can't seem to let go?

Grand Canyon Recap

Happy weekend, lady loves (and dude loves, if there are any :P)!

As I mentioned before, my boyfriend, brother, and I went to the Grand Canyon on a whim last week.  It was the most breathtaking place I have ever been, and I would seriously suggest planning a vacation there!  The views, the hiking, the nature... it is unbelievable.  But don't just take my word for it - check out the pictures below!

(PS: I'm sorry if you have a heart attack looking at my brother walking right on the edge of the earth.  He is a rock climber and doesn't have a normal fear of heights.  I couldn't even deal -- nearly went into cardiac arrest at the ripe old age of 24 multiple times.)










Go Bulls!

I am scared terrified of heights, so I had to crawl on my stomach to look over the edge.



Please forgive Matt's nerdy hat.  It was all about sun protection in the wilderness that is the Grand Canyon.

We were headed out of the park when we saw a wild elk!




Sorry for the overload of pictures!  It was just so gorgeous there!!

Where are you headed this summer?  Have you taken a vacation recently?  Tell me about your plans - I love hearing from you!
