I See London, I See France.... Well, I will at least!!!

So, my best friend Jessica and I are planning a trip to Europe this Fall. We have decided to go to the 2 places I have ALWAYS wanted to go. PARIS and LONDON!!!! I am so so so excited. We are going to start out in Paris. We are doing all the touristy things in each place. So while in Paris we are going to go to and climb to the top of the Arc De Triomphe, and go to the Eiffel Tower, and we are going to go to Mass at Notre Dame, and go visit the Palace of Versailles. But I am really excited about our night tour of the Louvre!!

After our adventure in Paris we are going to hop the pond and experience London. We are going down to Bath and drink of the ancient waters there, and go to see Stonehenge. We are going to visit Westminster Abby, and Windsor Castle, see the crown jewel's, and go on the Eye of London- which we must remember to Mind The Gap!!

Just thought I would share some of the plans for my fall season. Hope you all have a fun adventure with your best friend, like I am going to have with mine!!!

Ingrid Michaelson

So, I just wanted to post a special little blog to an artist that I LOVE. Not only do I love her, but my friend Becky, Cami, and Whitney also love her. I have seen her in concert twice (pictures below) and I can not get enough of her music. My friend Cami even knitted me a hat of Blue and Gold because that is in a song of hers. I can not wait until she puts out another cd. And I am hoping that her next tour includes Sacramento or somewhere closer to where I live. So to everyone that has not listened to her music, I hope you do! Plus she is really fun in concert. Becky and I both agree that if she lived around here that we would be friends with her. Which is totally true since the two of us are totally awesome! And we all have a similar sense of humor. So off to hoping for another cd and tour very soon!

The first concert we went to in Redding, CA. Our shirts that were inspires by her cd. We decided to put it on a shirt instead of on our face like the cd cover.

Ingrid singing awayOur second concert was during the Christmas season. It was Her and David Gray. We donated a toy and got a free concert ticket. It was really good!

We were the very front, right two seats of the Center row of chairs. We were really close.

Look!!! We met her!! She signed out shirts. I think all three of us could be cousins!. Well, everyone thinks that Becky and I are sisters, so actually Ingrid would Becky and I's cousin. Don't you agree?

Calimine, Calimine, Calimine Lotion ...

I am writing on honor of Becky. She went out to Maine to work at an awesome looking camp. The name of the camp is Kingsley Pines- and I looked it up and it looks so so fun. It reminded me of the camp I went to as a young girl. She is in charge of archery. The camp also has themed days. They do Pirate days, Disney days. There was a dance where she did her make-up like a member of KISS. She has made so many new friends from all over the world. And the campers in her cabin have also been from around the country and world. I am glad she has this awesome experience. I will try to get her to email me a few fun pictures so I can post them for you all to see.

A Birthday Celebration

So For our friend Whitney's birthday my friends and I went to Disneyland. I know you all think that we go to there too much, but how can you get sick of that place? So on Wednesday April 28th Kaylee, Whitney, Becky, and I all piled into ruby (Becky's car) and set out for the best place to celebrate. We played games in the car, listened. sang to GLEE and *NYSNC and Madonna. It was lots of fun. We got to our hotel which was a castle with gargoyles and everything. The next two days we had so so so much fun in Disneyland and California Adventureland. We found new places, did things we have never done at the parks before. My friend Jessica came up and Whitney's friend Sydney came up. We all went out lunch at the Blue Bayou. And we got to ride on the Lily Bell. Then on Saturday we went to Knott's Berry Farm. I have to say the best part of that was eating the fried chicken dinner. There was way way too much food, but it was so good you couldn't stop eating. Then when we were done at Knott's (which did not take very long) we all piled back into the car and made our journey back home. Here are some pictures so you can be jealous of all the fun we had!!

WICKED

So last week Becky, Whitney, Matthew and I had the opportunity to see WICKED. It was so amazing! I loved everything about it. The sets, the costumes, the songs, etc. Everything was amazing. I am grateful for that opportunity I had to go, and I would like to thank the wonderful people who gave me that experience. They know who they are- so THANK YOU!!! After the show all of us also had the opportunity to meet Teal Wicks. She plays Elphaba (the wicked witch of the west). She was very sweet. The whole night was wonderful. We took the BART in and out of the city. We had a crazy guy on the train on the way back. Here are a few pictures. I know how we all love pictures!! (At least I do)

As Time Goes By

Sorry that it has been 6 months since the last posting. I used to get mad at my friends that did not post stuff; and I am one of those people now. A lot has happened since that last posting. Our friend Kent left on his mission in August. He is serving in the Colorado Springs, CO mission. He is doing well. As of now he is serving in Kansas. He is a great missionary! Soon after Kent left his brother Matthew came home. Kent told us (Becky, Whitney and I) to be nice to him and to befriend him. So we did. We actually have become great friends with the Melville family. We do a lot of things with there family. They have thrown Becky and I birthday parties. We have gone to there house for Halloween. We have grown to love that family a lot.

What else has happened. A while ago Becky and I were at wal-mart and we saw some married friends, Joe and Brooke. They had just bought a house and were getting little things. It is always fun to see people, and to know people are happy and doing well. They are having a baby in the next little while. Which is also very exciting. And speaking of babies. My best friend Cami had her second baby. She had a little boy. He is very cute and doing well. And another friend Lyndsie had a little boy also; and my friend Candie had twins; a boy and girl. Lots of babies and joy!!!

I am not sure what else to talk about. I will try to be more diligent in posting in the future. I hope all is well with everyone!

Monterey

So our friend Kent is going on a mission, and he leaves at the very begining of August; and we wanted to go on one last adventure before he left so we went to the Monertey Bay Aquarium. It was soo soo much fun. It was the same group of us that went to Disneyland. There was one bad part of the trip- we left at 6am. But other then that is was awesome! The aquarium put on a little play that taught us to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Okay, it was mainly about Reducing. But it was still fun. Here are a few pictures so you can see all the fun we had.
