Current Obsessions - August '11

1. Causey Sunday

This month I went up to Causey Resevoir for the first time and I had so much fun. We jumped off rocks into the water and floated around the resevoir on our inner tubes (floaties) drinking beer and having a relaxing time! We decided to make it our summer Sunday tradition and have been up almost every Sunday since! I have such a great time and am so happy to have created such a fun summer tradition with some of my closest friends!

2. Summer BBQ's

My friends are pretty much the shit, and this summer we have not let the beautiful warmth and sunshine go to waste. Our summer get-togethers/BBQ's have been the best. Grilling up some meat and sitting around chatting with my besties, drinking beer, and relaxing... it just doesn't get much better than that!

3. New Ink

I technically got my most recent set of ink the very last day of July, but I have been enjoying it this month so that's why it made it onto this obsessions list! I got a new tattoo (technically two new tattoo's -- one on each foot!) On my right foot it reads "I have lived through this horror" and on the left foot it reads "I can take the next thing that comes along".  Its from an Eleanor Roosevelt quote that I've loved for a long time. The quote is below.
"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by each experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along."  -Eleanor Roosevelt

4. BFF's Reunite

This month I got both of my besties in the same month! Sophie came to visit from England and Jenelle came home from New York for a few weeks. I was so happy to be able to spend time with them, but each time they leave it just keeps getting harder. Maybe we should all just buy a house together in California and then we won't have to deal with the goodbye's!

5. Sublime

This month I won tickets from Darby on 94.9 ZRock to go to the Sublime/311 concert at Usana. I had remembered Jenelle saying she really wanted to go, so I called her immediately! I didnt realize the concert was that same night! haha! So she got ready and headed down to Salt Lake and we headed out to enjoy the concert! I've heard both bands before, but I wasn't as into them as Jenelle was, but after leaving, I can say I am completely obsessed with Sublime now! They were amazing live and I've had their tunes rocking from my ear buds ever since!

6. Bridesmaids

This month I FINALLY went to see the movie Bridesmaids. My friend Casey had been raving about this movie ever since it first came out and so I figured I was more than over due! I was laughing so hard! Definitely rated 'R' for a reason, but oh my god, HILARIOUS! Take a peak HERE.

7. Just Go With It

I rented this movie from Blockbuster this month and I really quite enjoyed it! Jennifer Anistor and Adam Sandler make a surprising great couple! I normally can't stand the sappy romantic comedies (because none of it really ever happens in real life), but this was one that at the end I was able to say, "Oh okay, that was a cute one." See it HERE.

8. Moab Adventure

I went river rafting for the first time this month down in Moab with my family and their friends! I loved it so much! I want to go back down and go rafting with my friends because I had such a great time! I love adventure and being outside in the sun, so this was the perfect summer activity for me!

9-11. Adele, Linkin Park, Lil Wayne

A few songs that have really stuck out this month are "Someone Like You" by Adele (this song means LOADS to me!), "Iridecent" by Linkin Park, and "How to Love" by Lil Wayne. Take a listen and enjoy!

12. No Strings Attached

This movie is one of the romantic comedies that was so good that it will, and actually already HAS made it to my DVD collection! It was SO funny! Me, Jenelle, Brittany, and Sophie watched it one night and could not stop laughing! My favorite quote from the movie is "You look like a pumpkin bitch!" haha! Watch this movie and get read to laugh your ass off!

13. Skrillex

I was introduced to Skrillex this month and FELL IN LOVE! Its a different type of music than I'm used to listening to, but its AWESOME!!! Take a listen HERE.
