ohhhh mexico

i live for adventures! and i havent been on one in a while. so i was excited for girls weekend to rocky point. i have never heard of rocky point but it meant flying to tuscon, hanging out with girls that i love, and exploring a new place. ie...adventure! im in. i called my friend amy the night before because i wasnt sure if i should bring hiking boots and a tent or a beach towel....what is rocky point??? she explained to me that we were staying at a nice beachfront hotel. score. beach towel it is. amy picked me, elisa and brooke up from the tuscon airport on sunday and we drove to mexico. it went from cactusy mountain range to sand dunes. i love mexican culture and i was sooo excited when we got there! (most of my mexico experiences havent left the all inclusive hotels with my family). our days there consist of eating as much shrimp (they are known for their shrimp!) as possible, bartering at the local shops (in spanish), playing in the ocean! yesss!!, driving through rural areas (which is always a bit of a rush - driving in another country), taking a million pics, drinking strong margaritas, and we ended our trip with a spa day. girls will be girls :)

new favorite


i love going to concerts.

last week me, han, josh, and just went to "praise on the rockies" a christian concert weekend in estes park. its up at the ymca and i guess this is the last time they are having it in estes. sad. anyway, it was pretty amazing. shane and shane, bethany dillion, and joy williams were there. but we were most excited for jon forman (of switchfoot) and shawn walkins (of nicklecreek)...they have formed there own little band called "fiction family." so good...

also on thursday i got to see joshua radin for the second time. he is mostly depressing, acoustic music. but i absolutely love him and he is amazing live. he would just look at people in the audience and we made good eye contact....a good 10 seconds. im pretty sure he loves me. ha. his new cd comes out september ninth.
