"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous" Coco Chanel

The heading of this blog is the first thing you see when you come into our lovely apartment. Kudos go to Amamnda for that one.
Hello Idaho! I am here and loving it with all my heart (and I mean that with sincerity)! I am enjoying the company of my room-roommate Kylynn and I am truely grateful to be living with Amanda. Amanda and I have too funny of adventures together, I swear people think we are insane! We will just go off quoting random videos and talk in absurd accents all day long. She is the best friend I can ask for :] Even though my family does like to talk about her more then about me when I am on the phone with them.....
I have been introduced to so many new, wonderful people and activities. I am learning to poly dance(aka the hula and tahitian and samonian dancing. I will soon be shaking my hips like I was born in Hawaii)!
I have to say I am very grateful to be back up here, don't fret family and friends I do miss that part of Arizona! Especially when I talked to my family at Tatum's birthday party yesterday. It is still weird to me not to be there on family gatherings.....I miss the loudness!
My classes are going swell too. I love my public speaking class already. My teacher's name is Elizabeth Bossard, but she goes by "Boss". On the first day of class she entered the room singing "GOOD MORNING!" She is a an interesting character and looks like the fairy-godmother off of Shrek :]
I got to experience the sand dunes here the other night and played spoons with glow sticks in the dark. That was a ton of fun! And you know it was a good night when you reek of campfire the next morning.
In other news, I was going to post pictures up of my room, unfortunantly my memory card just decided to break. So as soon as i get another I will update with pictures!

143 (numeric sequence for I love you)

I have wonderful friends and family. All very artsy in their own ways and I appreciate them very much. I would like to take this time and acknowledge just a VERY FEW who have brighten my day.
Michaela my sister.
She is the one that introduced me to etsy and encouraged me to be creative with making random knick-knacks. She is my partner for making headbands and creating useful things out of 99 cent finds on Monday at Savers. I do believe bargain shopping is an art, and she is Da Vinci at it.
Nirantha my friend.
She is an astounding photographer. You know how the saying goes, a truely good photograph steals a piece of someone's soul, well she does just that (not in a creepy way). She has the ability to capture the beauty and personality of everyone she aims her lense at.
(she is responsible for the header of my blog)
Michelle my bell-haha.
Made me a shirt today of TOMS so I can wear it on Thursday :] Mucho gracias chica!
My wonderful nieces and nephews.
They remind me everyday to find the beauty and delight in every moment of life from making Elvis-faced ice cream cones to singing silly songs. The girls (B and Ta)have introduced the color purple into my elaborate list of favorite things.
My mom.
She is the one that ignited the love of sewing in my life by always making me clothes. She just made me another skirt!
Jackie my hair-dresser.
She always pushes me to use the brain I have,do the things I love, and to never hide who I am and what I feel.
