sunny day

so i decided that i have a slight obsession with sunglasses. 

i bought another pair today.  

this pair reminds me of crayons and i like it. 

i think i like how when you wear sunglasses you get to decide weather or not people can look into your eyes.  

they feel very protective.  

and fun. 

and i like driving with them on. 

im glad today is a sunny day.

this is one of the first of many road trips and wanderings i have had.  nicole came on a family vacation with me and we decided to visit her friend in buena vista, co.  the trip consisted of my sister, nicole and i driving a beat up stick shift truck down the colorado highway with no air conditioning in the middle of the summer, sleeping in the back of this truck in sleeping bags with a tarp pulled over our heads in the parking lot of her friend's apartment, and waking up the next day to explore all the sweet trails colorado always has to offer.  this picture was taken near the end of the trail and we were able to look down at the city from the top of the rock.  sweet picture to remember a sweet trip.  

for the love of coffee

so one of my best friends lives in east lansing, i live in ann arbor and we are both super busy.  soooo we decided to find a biggby's (her absolute favorite coffee shop)  right in the middle so we can read together when we have free time.  we both kind of have this obsession with books, and right now i am in the middle of about four that need finishing.  jackson happens to be the perfect distance.  my favorite drink there is the carmel-marshmallow latte, and i can't wait to just be able to hang out and read for fun. last time we went for coffee together we ended up getting a free drink because she was reading the answer to the question of the day (Wicked).  what are the chances?
