Flagstaff Here We Come!

So last week we just found out that I was offered a job as a Diet Tech in Flagstaff. After thinking about it and weighing out the pro's and con's, we decided to accept it! We are both really excited for a change of scenery. Brandon will be transfering to NAU, and of course he is thrilled to live by snowboarding and the skatepark :-) It will be a little hard adjusting to a new place and further from everyone, but this will be a great experience for us. Atleast we can still visit only being 2.5 hrs away too. Soooo right now we are trying to find a house over there and set up his schooling. We should be moved over there mid or end of July!! Everyone come visit us!

For the first time in my life I will be working full-time and as Brandon likes to tell everyone, I will be his "sugar momma". haha. I'll be working at The Peaks (its a senior living community) http://www.thepeaks.org/ Will be an interesting experience, but I think it will be nice because that place seems a lot more chill than the hospital setting.

First Fridays

If you're looking for something to do, low on the funds, and it happens to be the first friday of the month, then.... then you should go to the Phoenix Art Museum for free! It's in the evening and makes a fun little date. Sometimes there's bands playing and theres some good restaurants close by too. :-)
this was someones art creation?...it was in a pitch black room with these little lights everywhere. you could walk through it and it was like being in space! i had to get out because i was walking into the walls. haha
fun modern art

crazy!

brandon liked this one... what is it?

coal hanging on string. to me it looks like an explosion that froze in mid-air!

Tucson

A few weekends ago Brandon and I we used one of his birthday gifts I got him. We went to Tucson to see Fun playing at Hotel Congress. Fun is a band made up of 3 guys (plus 1 backup girl) from some of our other favorite bands, so as you can imagine they are amazing!! Sadly, one of the best bands ever, The Format, broke up last year and so its exciting that the lead singer Nate is continuing on with this band. They are a lot more instrumental and just have a lot of fun (hence the name?). It was also a great show because they played a lot of old Format songs, which brought back fond memories :-( tear tear. Well, here's some pictures of our mini trip. Unfortunately there wasn't anything too exciting in Tucson, but we found some yummy restaurants!


view from hotel, not too shabby!

you can see the St. Augustine Cathedral

i was searching in here for things to do

Dinner at Cafe Poca Cosa. Soooo good! This was Pollo Mole Amarillo. This place is fun because they change the menu every day (its all written on the chalk board)



strangest stores ive ever seen! this one was a thrift/costume store

obama and i hanging out again, he just likes to follow me around!

Fun. Didnt get too many good pics

St. Augustine Cathedral. We went inside to look around but we didn't go all the way in because of a service going on.

reminds me of the ones i went into in europe

Homemade Beauty!

Since I don't work today, school is fortunetly out of the question, and the apartment is all cleaned up, I decided I should do a home spa treament :-) I haven't done this in awhile, but used to all the time when I was little. Call me wierd, but I loved making concoctions of bananas, honey, eggs, yogurt, cucumbers, you name it, as facials! Besides nutrition, there are other great benefits to foods (even cholesterol artety clogging egg yolks!) So next time your recipe just call for egg whites, use the left over yolks for your beauty :-) I took a goofy picture of myself with it in my hair, so then I decided I'll just blog about it. Here yah go...
