missing this girl...

i miss this girl so much.
everyone ALWAYS thinks she is older.
probably b/c she's:
cooler
has better style than me
laid back
sweet
smart
adventurous
a hippie
lives in africa
-------------
i can't wait to see her: 76 days....
i already want to pack.
i love her so.

piercing

i've been feeling rebelious lately.
and i have been wanting to do this for a long time.
so today, i did it.
see story below.
-
-
we made it to the tattoo shop.
my artist was Cami.
she offered me a sucker.


i took it.
(cami looks drunk, but she's not, she was super super sweet)

cami cleaning my nose


about to stab me



actually stabbing me with an 18 gauge needle.
OUCH!
tears came pouring out my eyes.
although it hurt really badly, it was over fast!
done!


cleaning the bloody mess!

my nose.
kinda red
a little bloody still.
my goody bag!
sea salt, soap, q tips, the hoop for later.

Love 146

this year for valentines day,
cam and i decided not to do anything for each other.
over $13 billion is spent on vday each year,
and i think that is such a waste.
so we decided to go to our dear friend, Shellie's,
non-profit fund raiser.
It was at the fabulous Pomegranate Place
and it was just a measly $10 donation to get in.
it was benefitting Love 146
whic is a program started to
end child sex slavery and trafficking.
it is an amazing cause.
so please go to the link above for a great website,
some videos, and some great stories.
-
on a brighter note, there were a million amazing desserts
provided by local businesses (cheesecake factory, whole foods, etc)
and made by some awesome girls, and wine donated by
local liquor stores!!!!
-
this mansion was beautiful and i want to live there.
i loved every single thing about it.
seriously.
my photos don't do it justice.




this is shellie with the amazing black pants, and super high heels.
the bar.

love the hearts
and on the table is a "tree" with heart ornaments on it for sale.


see how cute!
and the candle holders were made by shellie and emily
from poured concrete (into paper cups, and then cups torn away once dry)



yummy amazing food




ADORABLE
(and delicous)





every bit of stationary and sign and everything, SO CUTE
(did i mention shellie's a graphic designer/interior designer?)
oh, well she is.
the room where the video was playing
and bethany looking all hip


I want to steal this bathroom
(they said it was being renovated, but i kinda like it how it is)

umm, yelllow tile border? yes please!



coming down the stairs, looking at front door.



me and b
(if you notice...as in this pic from the blog, b and i are wearing the EXACT same thing that we did to the gentry wedding, but just over jeans (b/c it was super cold last night) we totally didnt do it on purpose, but it was really funny)


s and b

vday

thursday cam and i decided to go out to dinner
kinda for vday, but kinda just because.
we got these gift certificates from
this place for $1, you have to spend $35, but get $25 off
so essentially you pay $11 for a $35 meal.
anyway, we ate at: Pi
and it was cool.
we rode the lightrail there and back.
we are such city goers now :)
it was a perfect evening!


we weren't planning on matching


pomegranite mojito


not water... but i made him do this pose



riding the lightrail home :)
