Life Updates (July-September)

-

Ooops. I can't believe I haven't updated the Blog with my knee recovery progress in 6 weeks! Things have been so busy at work and in my personal life. I totally fell behind on writing. My knee has made tremendous progress the last few weeks, and I almost have full flexion (touching my foot to my butt)! PT has forced me into being super consistent at the gym, and I am actually enjoying it.

Please enjoy the July-September memory recap below:

My mom and I went to see "Thick as Thieves" at Pickleville Playhouse. It was fun, but having my knee bent for 2 hours was not the most comfortable. We also saw an older lady trip on a step and crash into a trash can. I was terrifying. The play was very cute.  

 

The biggest potato came to town for a grocery store grand opening. I completely forgot about it, but it was in the hotel parking lot when we walked out of the movie theater. I was so excited! We took tons of pictures. 

Snackin' on pickles and popcorn at Pickelville. 

Visited Provo to say goodbye to a friend before she left for grad school in California. A ladder was in the middle of the highway, and I bumped it driving 70+ on the I15. I had a panic attack, as I saw that 10 cars had blown tires on the side of the road. No one would let me over, and I was so scared. I didn't see any damage to my car (thank god). 

I bought this GORGEOUS blue velvet chair on FB Marketplace in August. It was only $30!!! The lady said someone messaged her before me, but that she chose me because I was so extra in my message. (See, being extra pays off sometimes). It is in perfect condition, and I love it so much. 

I took a day off work for moving and then I signed up for a study on campus. I had to test a bunch of fitness bands and I had a great time. I got 40 bucks for less than 2 hours of work! I promptly bought tacos after getting the cash. 




Stefanee came to town for a week. We hung out, watched TV, and took pictures at Smiths.

After 2 years of entering Goodreads book giveaways, I finally won a book!!! I haven't read it yet, but I am pretty excited!

Went to REI with Stef and Josh on Labor Day. I copped a new pair of Hoka's and a free peach from their tree outside. 

Korean bakery in SLC! 




Giant (not very good) torta in SLC with the fam. 

The registrar hanging out the open window. 




Birthday cakes! I probably won't use cookies next time I make these desserts, but they were okay. 

Farmer's market zucchini!! This huge thing only cost $1!!!

Volunteered at the Top of Utah marathon last weekend. It was a great time! Then I went to the farmer's market with the fam. We enjoyed chai, brazilian lemonades, falafel wraps, and samosas.

SPRING BREAK!!!!

Words cannot express how much love I feel for Spring Break right now. This picture pretty much sums up how I felt when I got out of school last Friday! It has been a crazy busy semester, so this week without having to worry about assignments and projects has been absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately, it's now Thursday and it is almost time to dive back into reality! :( Alright so here are five things that I love at the moment: 1. Sherlock Holmes on BBC!! Even when I am super busy I make time to watch this show! :) It has hilarious dialogue, plus it doesn't hurt that Sherlock is super cute! And the best part of this show is that the next episode for season two is going to air on my birthday!!!! To say that I am excited is a complete understatement! 2. Popcorn! The popcorn my mom buys hardly has any calories, it is delicious, and pretty much my favorite food at the moment! 3. The Clockwork Prince! I bought this book the week after it came out, and I fell in love with it. I

New York Story: NYC's Version of The Little Mermaid

New York City in the summer is Satan's literal anus. It smells bad and it's hot as hell. In an effort to help people in the city cool down, the fire department opens up the fire hydrants. Many people use the open water as a splash pad or a car wash. I preferred to close the curtains and lay in front of a fan for hours at a time. But to each their own, right? I lived down the street from the 1 Train at 135th and used that train almost exclusively to get to Amelia and Dillon's house. The 1 train was more reliable than the life ruining M11 bus, even though I liked taking the bus to the West Side way more. Anyway, since I practically lived on their couch on the weekend, the trip from Hamilton Heights to the West Side was familiar.  On this particular occasion, I had dinner plans with Amelia and Dillon and I was already running behind. I decided to walk on the right side of the street so I could pick up dessert at the grocery store before getting on the train. For reference, I N

Thanksgiving Day One!!

Okay, so I have never blogged from my phone before, so this will be interesting! Winter I my favorite time of the year. I love the cold weather, the clothes, the Christmas romantic comedies, and especially the general attitude. I love having an attitude of gratitude. And it seems like during the holiday season other people adopt that point of view as well. One of the most rewarding feelings is when you bring a light into someone's life, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays gives opportunities to do that. For the next five days I will be posting the things I am thankful for!! 5) Over the summer, I decided that I wanted to do a big project for personal progress. I decided on making baby hats for premature babies. Unfortunately, however, I am not crafty, I don't know how to knit, and I fail miserably at every artsy endeavor I have tried. Despite all the things that could go wrong, I bought hat knitting looms. It took a couple of days for me to finally learn how to do
