Big News and Some FiH Fun...

Happy Thursday everyone! I have some big news to share. My boyfriend got a job offer in Northern California, and will most likely be moving there with him sometime THIS MONTH! This is a big deal for me on many levels. I have never lived outside of Arizona. I have lived in Tucson and Flagstaff, but they are both about two hours from my parents. This will be over 10 hours to drive home. I also have never lived with a boy. Yes... I am almost 25. Yes... Dave and I have been dating for almost three years. I know we could handle it and in most ways I think it will be great. I will have to find a job up there and possibly get a Cali RX license, which means taking their law exam and learning all their rules.

The bigger issue for me is leaving my family and friends (and his friends too.) I am extremely close to my family and I would miss them like crazy. My grandpa is also having some serious health problems and I would not be able to see him every week like I do now. There are a lot of issues for me to think about before I decide but a big part of my heart is saying "GO FOR IT!" and I think it would be nice to explore a new state and city together. I love Dave so much and I can't picture my life without him. So, while this is not exactly a "thoughtless post" I will share some random snapshots of Dave and Ty for Thoughtless Thursday. In my heart I know it would be a great adventure with this wonderful man by my side! (And that little furry man too!) I will definitely keep you all updating with the whole move and everything! On a lighter note, the wait is finally over for the new Twilight movie. I am not a fanatic like some, but I actually really loved the first movie. I had LOW expectations because I normally hate that kind of story, but this was much better than I thought. I never saw the second one, so I am hoping to rent it soon and then hit the theaters for the newest installment. Thought I would share a little Face in Hole fun... Did anyone else know that Robert Pattinson sings? Its actually not too shabby! Check it out...


Head on over and play along too!

Happy Thursday everyone! In honor of Thoughtless Thursday over at Life In The Fulmer Lane this week I will share some snapshots of my new hair cut!

Weekend Recap and $15 Faves

This past weekend was a hard one for my bf. We went hiking on Friday afternoon and had a pretty good time. I hike this mountain by my house at least a few times a week, but usually Dave isn't able to go with me. There were some SCARY giant orange and black bugs flying around and we saw a HUGE swarm of bees fly by us! I guess that is the price you pay for all the beautiful desert flowers.
Shortly after we were done hiking Dave got some devastating news. His grandma, Jackie, took a turn for the worse and then passed away. Dave has always been extremely close to his grandparents and the fact that he was so far away made it especially difficult. Luckily he was able to book a ticket and fly back to be with his family. I am glad he was able to go, but I am missing him like crazy! I hate being away from him, especially when I know he is hurting. I was lucky enough to meet his grandma and she is really an amazing woman and it is clear how much she loved Dave. In a situation like this it is sometimes difficult to find the right words so I will just post a few quotes that I love:
"Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal"
“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge - myth is more potent than history - dreams are more powerful than facts - hope always triumphs over experience - laughter is the cure for grief - love is stronger than death"~Robert Fulghum

There was also a really happy event that took place today! As I wrote before{All Dogs Go To Heaven}, my BFF lost her dog, Fancy, to a dog attack several weeks ago. It was a traumatic event and she has been looking a dogs for a while, but never found anything. I went with her today after work to look at some pups and she got one! I would like to think I am her good luck charm, lol. She hasn't picked a name yet, but the lil thing is SO CUTE! (Any name suggestions out there?)

I am also playing along with Top 2 Tuesday again this week. She wants to know what our top 2 favorite things are that are under $15. I could answer this in a million different ways, but I will stick with the things that always seem to brighten my mood for longer than the 30 min it takes me to drink my favorite smoothie or eat at my favorite place, haha.

1. New Makeup: I love anything Bare Escentuals, but my two favorites that are under the $15 mark are their lip gloss (mine is in Wild Honey) and their eye shadows (I love Vanilla Sugar and Citrus Twist.)2. Tank tops & Flip-Flops: I know this is a little broad, but seriously a new shirt or cute sandals are always a great way to spend 15 bucks! My favorite places to find cute cheap things are Forever 21, Charlotte Rouse, Target, but I think you can find great deals in a ton of places!
