worldwide on 25th.

last week luke & i also got to go to the worldwide on 25th festival! i love ogden so much! 25th street was filled with food from around the world, street dancers, vendors, even a parade! 

i thought they weren't actually people "from around the world," until my friend mikki tried to talk to some of the france dancers, & they literally spoke no english. it was crazy! (i was too shy to talk to them...which sucks. i need to practice my francais!)

we had indian food, peach cobbler (the best), sushi, & roosters... the perfect combo of food from around the world if you ask me.

the dancers were awesome, but what stunk is how freakin' hot it was. luke & i left by 6:30 because we were sweating. freakishly sweating.

we both said as we left, had it been seattle weather, it would have been perfect! sigh.

the arts festival

this past weekend was the UTAH ARTS FESTIVAL in good old SLC. i love this time of year because festivals are my favorite, & the arts festival is my VERY favorite. luke & i spent a couple hours wandering the various booths & talking with artists from all over the nation. we even bought 2 prints from a lovely girl named kendra all the way from north carolina. kendra baird is awesome. look her up here.

this guy was carving a statue into a block of sand. it was so crazy! 

making friends with the entertainment. this guy wouldn't even crack a smile, & was running around on stilts, even after i pretended to pick his "rides" nose.

SLC library.

already counting down the days til arts fest 2013! 

pride weekend.

last saturday luke & i headed to SLC for the pride festival. it was such a blast! we met up with some of my coworkers as well as luke's best friend, amy. i bought a buddha necklace & got another tattoo for my car, gigi :) 
i was sad i didn't get to go to the parade sunday (i had work as well as my nephew's baby blessing...well worth missing the parade in the end) but i heard over 200 mormons marched in the parade to show their love & support for the gay community. i would have cried! that is so very awesome.

me & luke arriving at the festival.

i ran into jess, a good friend of mine from high school, as well as josie & matt!

me & amy at the after party. there was a zipline, a bouncy house, & a huge jenga set. so fun!

with my coworkers jill, mitzi & aimee!

happy pride 2012!

sundance 2011!

next month i am finally able to go to the 

SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL.

this is held in park city every year, and yet somehow i always miss it. which is sad because it sounds like a great time. i am finally able to afford tickets to a couple of the shows and i'm so excited to go up there and "star-gaze," and watch amazing new movies with friends! it's going to be a riot.

i also might be working at the starbucks up in park city over sundance. it's going to be .....crazy. i don't think i've ever understood what a "rush" is. but i will once i spend one night at the park city starbucks in the middle of the festival.

either way, i can't wait!

my new car.

ah, i wish.

aaron, alix, hannah and i saw this car today on our way home from summerfest. [more on that later]. for now all you need to know is that logan has a PLETHORA of incredibly cool people. and i plan on going to summerfest every day for the rest of the weekend.
