Rose Garden & Egyptian Museum

 First stop was the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden! It was so beautiful!

Wrong setting on camera, so this picture is pixelated, oops!

Next stop was the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum. $7.00 for students & free parking!

No left eyeball, EEK!

Totally not worth $.50 but so worth it because it has a scarab on it!

The museum is pretty close to our house and has a fair admission price so my sister and I decided to stop by because we had some extra time today. We got to the museum a little before it opened and stopped by the beautiful rose garden nearby. A quick, necessary break from our normal daily toils.

September Favs

I remember seeing the trailer for this show while waiting to watch a movie at AMC, and I thought it was so dumb. I started watching it(because my sister) and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT SO MUCH! It's a reality tv show about the Robertson family, who created and run a business making duck calls. The show is hilarious and heart warming at the same time. I just finished season one and am onto season two! You NEED to watch it, you'll be surprised at how much you enjoy it!

I've been listening to Birdy a lot this month. Her rendition of Bon Iver's Skinny Love is one of my favssss but I never really listened to any of her other music until this month. She's only 17 but her voice is amazing. A lot of her songs are really sad, so be careful not to get too down! Check her out though, because she is really talented. 

i'll miss days like this

Getting fast food at night, chillin' in the car, and joking around with my siblings. Nights that I definitely will look back on and miss because I love spending time with my brother and sister :)

The flash makes it look like these pictures were taken with a disposable film camera, doesn't it? I like the effect.

the days

I posted this picture last week on my instagram but I just feel like it completely depicts what I feel about life right now. With school and work, life has been so busy. Every night I just lay in bed listening to Katie Herzig's pandora station and zone out thinking about nothing, exhausted from my day. These are the good days though, I know. I remember being a freshman in college having super big dreams about what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to be the Mother Teresa of this generation. I wanted to be a human being that made an impact on this world. Haha, when I think back on it, its so funny. It sounds like such a childish dream to want to change the world, but I realized that as I am getting older my dreams are getting smaller and smaller and its so sad. My friend was telling me that she really wanted to go into advertising. Never officially having any experience in advertising, she told me she also had a back up plan. When she told me this I told her, no, if advertising is your dream you shouldn't fall back on your second choice, run after your dream, your first pick. That's when a bell rang in my head and I thought, UHH, you should listen to your own freaking advice girl. Haha! So right now I'm going back and forth on "YES! I'm gonna change the world!" and "Who do you think you are?!". But what should I do?

So, here's a list of things I like/love:

-children

-fashion

-photography

-traveling

-sports

Wellllllll, these are all really broad categories, so i guess... go from this? HAHA. I have a year and a half of college to find out, but I figure I should try everything while I am young! We'll see where life takes me :) 

I do believe that God has big plans for me, that I shouldn't worry because He created me specially and will make sureee my life doesn't go to waste.

Watch out world! Mary is coming!
