A Recap: December 2018

December was Ah-mazing!

Bye!
I finished my semester which included turning in a rendering of my group's idea for a dorm building, taking my finals which were relatively easy, and home I went!

Dior at the Denver Art Museum
Fashion has always been a love of mine and probably always will be, so when I heard two years ago a Christian Dior exhibit would be arriving I knew I had to go. I went with my parents and loved seeing the haute couture. I will definitely get into this more. I also had a great lunch down there too.

Poker
I did have a few friends over to play poker and catch up which was sweet. I enjoyed hearing the crazy stories they have and everything in between.

Sightings
Since many of my friends from high school were back in town for Christmas they could be found everywhere! I ran into a friend of mine at the mall and talked about a frat party for a little and then another we both smiled as big as we could and waved at each other at the grocery store.

The Trimmings of the Tree
Finding our family's Christmas tree was fun because we just kept driving until we found a closed place which then let us get one anyways. I also decorated my house for Christmas.

Christmas Eve Mass
Christmas Eve Mass at my high school was definitely one of my favorite parts of break! I got to see all of my friends again! Squishy hugs were given and smiles seen! I was so happy! The homily discussed West Wing and how if we're in a hole Jesus will be there with us knowing how to get out. It was very sweet. I continued socializing with my sisters and went home for the night. It was the best I've felt in a long time.

Christmas!
Christmas was very nice this year. I woke up before the sun shone and continued wrapping presents with my brother. We tore through our gifts which were surprisingly good. We had our German Apple Pancake and played with our gifts the rest of the day!

NYE!
My family and I went downtown for the fireworks this year, but were completely underwhelmed not by the fireworks, but of the crowd. There were so few people there and not many opportunities to people watch. The fireworks were wonderful, but I wish there was more.

December was filled many memories and lots of good people! I am so glad I am done with all of these now. Thank You for reading it if you did, I really just wanted to write it down to remember it and not really for blog material, but whatever. Thank You

God Bless!

20 Activities for 20 year Olds

Good Morning Family and Friends! Recently I have been incredibly bored, hopefully my online classes will entertain me more. I have previously stated that I wasn’t practicing social distancing or whatever, however my mom has been making me stay inside more often and now Colorado is on lockdown. I looked up activities for 20 year olds and didn’t find anything, I guess people make these lists for stay at home moms with young children. So, I decided to make my own list for you, the audience, if you’re bored (which if you’re reading this you probably are) and looking for something to do. Read Woah, how original...read. I don’t read for pleasure often. In the summer I read The Great Gatsby and I usually read one of Father Greg Boyle’s books some other time in the year. I also read my Vogue magazines. Two books and a magazine isn’t that much. However, since there is more time to do stuff, I figured I could read more. My brother gave me The Princess Bride to read, I’ve read a lit...

The Best Experience of my Young Life: Casa Bonita

I read an article by Westword that read if Disneyland and Tijuana had a baby and left it to fend for itself in a strip mall on Colfax, it’d be Casa Bonita. I finally got to experience this gem with some of my friends, Nai and Hannah, who have also been eager to try the restaurant out. We pulled into the packed parking lot of Casa Bonita that stood in the same shopping complex as two dollar stores and a kids dental office next door. People surrounded the outside as the fountain splashed and I took photos as rapidly as a mom on Christmas morning. This was it, the best of themed dining experiences. We entered into a very confusing entryway and found the line, but first we stopped by the bathroom, which happened to be very nice. We stood in the red velvet roped line with other epicures, such as ourselves, waiting to order at the register. The line was dark, but illuminated by Corona neons, a sign with the words “Easto Much, Peso Little”, a vi...

Things I've Found on the Ground

Family and friends, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It has been a while since I've published a blog post, but after audience interest in the rekindling of the blog here I am at the 11th hour to ensure a numerical year doesn't go by without a post. I guess I've been gone because I've been busy or less inspired…I don't know. Anyways, for the past two years (and some months) I’ve taken pictures of things I find on the ground, some of them are amusing, so I’ve decided to share some and write little stories for each. So, please enjoy a small collection of photos and commentary of things I’ve found on the ground. Making Love in a Hopeless Place Where: Walmart Parking Lot When: December What: An Open Condom Wrapper Can anyone imagine a more romantic place to cement your love than a Walmart parking lot. I surely can't. Forget fireworks you have the rustle of your grocery bags in the back seat. Meanwhile the cold midnight air wafts in through your cracked windows a...
