This is a blist of photos from recently. I realize they are pretty much only of the Valley and my dog, but that's kinda my life right now.

1. So in the BYU Museum of Art, there is an amazing exhibit called "The Matter of Words." It is all about books, so of course it caught my attention! (Click HERE to look at the website!) I may or may not have taken a contraband photograph of the piece "The Fourth Thousand Years" by Adam Bateman, a massive installation piece made completely of books. The reason this photo is included in the blist "Recently" is because I "recently" edited it. Ha.


2. The other day I was walking down the street in St. Helena and do you know what I saw? The coolest metal letters with little light bulbs in them! (I'm not completely sure what a "Tent Sale" is, though...)


3. My dad and I went to a stake service project a few Saturdays ago. I got a Mormon Helping Hands t-shirt, and I was happy because I have always wanted one of those, but I was also disappointed because it is an XXL. But that is besides the point. We went to Bothe State Park for some clean up, and I found a wonderfully leafy little stream, pictured below.


4. After the Mormon Helping Hands service project, I got a Swine 'n' Slaw (pulled pork) sandwich from Palisades Deli. It was delicious. I missed that place. Homer decided to ignore me because I wouldn't share it.


5. This is another picture of Homer. I just really like taking pictures of my dog. Can you blame me?


6. So remember how I got a stuffed llama from my aunt Carrie for my birthday? If not, read "A Blist of My Nineteen Years" and refer to numbers 12. a. and 12. b. As I mentioned, I was trying to decide between two names for the little guy. I finally settled on Don Carlos Roberto Estevez. I felt pretty clever, because this way I didn't have to choose between Don Carlos and Roberto, and I can refer to him by either one and he will respond. That is, if he was alive. Which he is not. Uh.. Anyways.


7. On Friday, I got to hang out with CHLOE. I love that girl. And it means we are finally HOME FOR THE SUMMER. And I have friends to hang out with. We got lunch from Checker's, which was delicious, and then drove out to Greenwood Dr. to eat it in the vineyards. Well, we sat in the red jeep. Next to the vineyards. But I love the fact that I can take my camera out of my pocket and casually take a picture while munching on my salad and the result is this:


8. For Mother's Day, we got my mommy some pretty flowers for her to plant!


9. Chloe, Eleno, and I went to dinner! We got Hydro Burgers and then went to Jolé for dessert. We had a deep discussion about hipsters, college degrees, and the re-opening of the pool for the 2011 summer season. This is Chloe and Eleno while we were waiting to be seated at Jolé. Going for hipster. Not really working.


10. Mother's Day. Homer fell asleep on the floor. 


11. Last night my mom went to the high school to pick up Walker after his practice and bonfire. Homer waited for her to get home, looking at the door the entire time she was gone. It was kind of the best thing ever. 


12. This morning, I had orientation for my job at BOUCHON BAKERY. That's right. SO excited. Anyway, on my way home, I stopped at Nickel&Nickel winery to take pictures of the wildflowers. It is my favorite winery in the valley. Super pretty.





Always remember, people. Life is great! Celebrate being alive! And jump for joy! It's good exercise :)

A Blist of My 19 Years

Yesterday I turned 19!! Wahoo!! This is a blist of all the good things about the day!

1. It's a beautifully sunny California day.

2. My parents took me to the (formerly) Rialto to see Jane Eyre. I love that movie. And book. Mostly the book. But I love the movie. (Accidental chiasmus!)

3. I had a lovely dinner with friends last night. I love the Morgans and Navas!

4. Homer finally remembers me and will play with me!

5. I got to talk to Chloe for a good hour this afternoon!

6. I know this sounds silly, but I love getting the notifications on Facebook telling me someone posted on my wall. All those birthday wishes make me so happy!

7. I get to use a lot of exclamation points!!!! (I can do that any other day of the year, but they seem extra special on birthdays and other holidays. Ha.)

8. I found an iTunes gift card in my room! That is a good thing.

9. I have a wonderful family that I love love love and great friends. I love love love them too. So much love up in here. ♡

10. I got a wonderful giraffe necklace.

11. I got some wonderful sparkling oxford shoes.

12. a. My wonderful aunt got me a WONDERFUL STUFFED LLAMA.
12. b. I need to name the little guy! I'm still deciding between Don Carlos and Roberto.

13. We got to eat some delicious Mexican food, followed by ice cream with chocolate sauce for dessert!

14. My family and I watched Despicable Me for our evening entertainment! I love that movie.

15. I am so lucky to be alive.

I love my family and friends, and I'm so grateful to all of you who have helped make the day special! ♡ ( ☜ I'm so proud I learned how to make those little things! Haha.)
