so

This has nothing to do with Disneyland, which I thought would be my next post. But today I got my awesome boots delivered to me, and I'm so excited! They were featured in InStyle which obviously makes me very trendy. Maybe someday I'll post a picture of me in all my trendiness and subsequent popularity.

They are these ones:

Or, that's what one of them looks like anyway. The right one. Yes, it's suede.
Ok. I promise I'll try not to post anymore about random clothing purchases I make. No promises about Eric though...he'll probably make hundreds of posts about his fashion decisions.

Next time...Disneyland. For real this time.

PS: I think this is hilarious. You all should check it out.

the happiest place on earth!

Like Lindsay mentioned in a similar and very recent post, we are all headed out to California next week for a little break! On Wednesday night, Mark and Lindsay and Eric and I will all pile into the car for a weekend getaway to Disneyland (and Fallbrook, of course). So, here's 20 reasons I'm so excited for this trip:

1. I haven't been home in almost a year and a half and I can't wait to be home! (If even for a little bit)
2. I get to put my feet in the ocean and walk on the pier
3. We're going to Disneyland AND California Adventure, which are both amazing
4. We have dinner reservations at the Blue Bayou inside Pirates of the Caribbean. Yum!
5. I haven't been to In-N-Out in forever and we're stopping in Vegas or St. George for that purpose
6. I get to show Lindsay where I grew up, finally
7. Things are going to get weird in the car ride down, since we'll be driving straight through the night
8. I may have an excuse to get a new weekender bag since Delta employees ripped mine on the way back from Portland...
9. Hospitality provided by my wonderful parents...thank you!!
10. They're also cooking us a barbecue
11. I love Disneyland and always have. I know how to work the Fast Passes and cannot wait for the following rides at Disneyland: Indiana Jones, Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, Jungle Cruise (I've always loved it), Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan, Autopia, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Basically I just love Disneyland.
12. Also the following rides at California Adventure: Soaring Over California, California Screamin', Hollywood Tower of Terror, Grizzly River Rapids. Yay!
13. Possibly running into a few people from home? That might be fun.
14. Nice hot weather (it'll be a nice transition into what's coming for Utah in a couple of months...)
15. Relaxing time away from Utah
16. Lots of animal life in Fallbrook...Lindsay and I are sure to have a field day
17. Pedro's Tacos...oh I'm going to get around to eating there!
18. Swimming in the pool and sleeping in all day Thursday
19. Did I mention how much I love Disneyland?
20. And yes, the big Disneyland Gift Shop on Main Street. I'm bound to get something there since I didn't last time.

Alright, knowing how unreliable I am at updating this blog, I probably won't post again until well after we're back from California. But I'll be sure to post plenty of pictures!
