Utah, Garlic and New Hard Drive

So Im going to do this out of order, deal with it.

Hello all!!! :D long time no see!! lol, anyways, so the new laptop is back up and running!! The company ASUS, (thank you guys) decided to take pity on me and put a new hard drive into it for me!! Lets see if this one will last more then 4 months. Im hoping!!

So the wonderful Gentleman Friend and I headed out to his homeland of Utah!! It was hot a beautiful, as the desert should be. We mostly hung out at his parents respective homes, and meet up with his co-workers one night for a little get together. Jerry from work sent me with a Minion from McDonalds, and took pictures of him around. it was just an in and out visit, though the out was 9 hours delayed, but it allowed us to cruz around Provo.. which is Mormanville USA. Im not going to lie, I like the Mormans, they take care of their families, are nice and dont spit in front of you.. my current pet peeve...

I've never gotten out of the back of a plane before!



GF and his niece and nephew wrestling

Im on a goat...




Mmmmm.... A&W

 It was a great trip, and GF's Cousin Alicia came back with us to spend a week in SF for her 17th Bday. She's so nice and mild, plus i got to do a little tour guide! We had a chance to go down to Fort Point and see the Golden Gate. I always tell people to go down to the Presidio and Chrissy Field when their in town, its the best.


 Eventually Alicia had to head home and life got back it abnormal. This last weekend GF and I decided on a whim to head down to the Gilroy Garlic Festival. Yes, its a festival of GARLIC. The greatest. It was 10,000 degreees... not really but way to hot and traffic in the little cow town was a DISASTER. But we ate crawdads and I got a bracelet with a fish in it.. a REAL bloodfin Tetra.. Its gross and so cool, im so weird... I know animal cruelty.... oh well






 We also picked up some bacon soda which was... odd.... but that last picture is a shot of Beard Papa's cream puff. Boom. Amazing!!!


On a side note, a few weekends ago we got to do some free Tye Dye with Jo-Annes...apparently this is the Tye Dye Your Summer Campaign! Im down. :3

Proud of My Size

Hello all! Its been a little while! Just got back the Utah trip with Gentleman Friend, schools starting, and things are getting chilly. For this Proud of my size link up Im showing off one of my favorite work outfits! The dress is from Forever 21, Wrap from my place of work, tights are clearance Target and my crocks. Yes those are crocks! Increadibly comfortable too!! Also you cant see, but I wore my Giraffe pin. I heart giraffes!! So the proud of my size link it is something the AMAZING Rachel over at the Near Sighted Owl does every week, helping to spread body love no matter how big, small, tall or thin you may be. As a midrange curvy lady I have always been right in between my heavier friends and my thin friends, and while people think this is a great place to be but its unnerving for an insecure gal growing up. Now I am learning (slowly) to love my body as much at the GF does ;) lol and I should.

Im normally a bit of a tom boy but at work I like to girl it up some. Infact I dont think I have worn pants once yet! Lots of little dresses and skirts.... lol, its fun to be a girl every once in a while!

So the trip was AMAZING!! I'll so a full recap but as a teaser, it involved TWO dinosaur museums, camping in the desert, mountain trips, sushi and AMAZING food. Plus a good looking male companion and a trip to Temple Square. Dear Goodness it was a load of fun!!! :D
