i want this

catchup

so the last time i updated my blog was the last time erin jane was here and now shes coming again in a few days so i thought i'd post a few pictures up of the things ive been doing since the last time she was here...

I celebrated my birthday in two different ways, on two different days... with a cowboy/indian themed dance party and a fantastic dinner party with some of my favorite people.

ive been spending a lot of time with this guy up here

we've gone on some really good bike rides.

we've made A LOT of baked goods... including these lemon filled, marshmallow and coconut topped cupcakes. death by cupcakes.

went to a pumpkin patch to handpick a couple pumpkins, had a carving party, and voila... mine is the skull... i know i know... its impressive.

halloween. in case you are wondering i am rob masterson.

Life is Good.

and im promising to be a better blogger.

the end.

I'm addicted to her

I think that a sign of true friendship is that you can live 3,000 miles away from each other and not see each other for months, but then once you do it's like you were never apart.  

Erin Jane Johnson I'm so glad you came to visit.  We miss you already!

if there is one thing i could tell you to experience in life it would be this...

by far probably the coolest thing i've ever done

Its that time again... PROJECT RUNWAY!

So, guess what has started again?? It totally snuck up on me too but LUCKILY... I didn't miss anything (oh and Karly don't worry I Ti-Vo'd it for you). Even though I was kinda hoping for some more creative ideas for materials instead of tablecloths galore, I still think its gonna be a good season. Too early to declare any favorites... but i LOVED seeing an appearance by one of my all time faves, Austin Scarlett... haha! Oh I love this show.

Belated 4th of July

So I know 4th of July was a little over a week ago but I just wanted to post a few pictures from my little vacation down to San Diego with Damien, Carlos, and Allison.

Pinball Mania

So who would have known that Las Vegas is home of the PinBall Hall of Fame? I sure didn't. But I went there last week and it was quite the experience. There are like 200 different pinball machines... old ones, new ones, broken ones... It was REALLY fun and 5 bucks goes quite a long ways there. Oh, and not to mention...

Thats right... An Elton John pinball machine... Just one more reason to love the Pinball Hall of Fame.

Nature-al Woman

So, this past weekend I got the opportunity to escape the heat and head up to Duck Creek, Utah with Beca and her family. It made me remember how pretty Utah is. Anyways, this little getaway was exactly what I needed after a few stressful weeks so here's a few pictures of our little day trip to Bryce Canyon (which is amazing by the way). I need to visit more natural parks.

A Real Live Professional

So, it's true. I became a real life professional woman today. I started my internship. And it actually went ok for a first day. I was real nervous this morning (to the point I was pretty much sick), but I got over it, and made it to the offices of Piercy, Bowler, Taylor, and Kern. This morning was just all orientation stuff. Filling out paperwork, getting a computer, all that kind of fun stuff. Then I actually did an hour of real live accounting/auditing work. Since they haven't really assigned me to a team yet, I don't think I'm going to have much to do for the next little while. Today after lunch I pretty much had nothing to do so they gave me this HUGE binder (seriously, like four inches thick), and told me to read it since I didn't have anything to do! Haha! And I think that might be what I'm doing for the next little while. But everyone tells me its kind of slow when you first start working and to cherish it because it doesn't last long. But anyways, I can already tell that I'm going to learn A TON. I think I should pretty much be able to ace my auditing class that I have yet to take (isn't that funny considering I'm an audit intern?). Oh yes, and don't I look so happy/photogenic in this picture??

Summer Resolutions

So I have a lot of time this summer. FOUR months at home. And while I'll probably be busy with my internship, I've decided that I'm going to take all the other time I have to improve myself. As my wise friend Kaitlyn said, "Make this summer all about you." Now I know that sounds kind of selfish, but really, I want to go back to Hawaii the end of August as the 'NEW AND IMPROVED' Ashley. So anyways, here are a few of the things I'm going to work on:

1. I'm going to the gym. and often.
2. I'm going to improve my sewing skills. New dresses anyone?
3. I'm going to learn how to play the piano again. (I started today and I have a LONG way to go)
4. I'd just like to become generally crafty. You know, make a lot of crafts.
5. I'm going to learn how to budget and save my money. This will be hard.
6. And of course, I plan to become a master scriptorian.

So yes, that's all for now. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated on my summer resolutions.

Giving in...

So yes. I did it. I created a blog.
