27

Well, Hello. It's been a minute. Life has been super busy, per usual. I'm 27 now. Hard to believe I'm approaching 30..... eesh. Time flies. The past month has been extremely eventful! I spent 9 days in Toronto visiting all kinds of amazing friends and came home the evening before my birthday to be surprised by a dozen of my favorite people and an amazing Birthday dinner at Hula's Modern Tiki, one of my favorite spots! It was wonderful to be surrounded by so much love, but I ended up calling it an early night due to a day filled with travel. Monday (actual Birthday) Mister took me out for KOREAN FOOD! Om nom nom. We had been talking about getting Korean food for months now... and after sitting around for an hour not being able to figure out where I wanted to go Mister got the brilliant idea! Everything was SO delicious and I got to teach Mister a few Korean phrases and Korean drinking games. The night ended too soon (and with the obligatory birthday tears hahaha) but was one to remember. Tuesday night I got to catch up with the family and have a birthday dinner with them. We tried this new spot in the Scottsdale Quarter called "TK's Urban Tavern" and it was surprisingly delish! Wednesday night I did a little birthday thing with Meleah and the twinnies. It was awesome to catch up with them and we had a fun girly night of mani/pedi, hair bleaching and tweezing our brows!

An amazing Birthday week was followed up with yet another vacation! We took a girls trip to Long Beach for the 9th Annual Ink and Iron Festival. IT WAS SOOO FUNNNN!!!! 3 days of music (some bands I've waited years to see!) tattoos, hot rods, beaches, good food, the Queen Mary, and running amok!! We met up with one of the bands who mentioned ghost hunting after the festival was over. So, of course I jumped at the chance! We found some really cool stuff (don't mind breaking and entering into "off limits" areas) and I can't wait to see all the pics Mary took! It was pretty much the perfect vacation... just enough partying balanced by shopping, the beach and hanging with good friends! We stayed on the Queen Mary and other than Deisy getting seasick it was rad! I have some pics, just need to upload them when I've got the time.

So, after 3 weekends out of town I laid low this weekend. Mister and I did some work around his new place and then spent yesterday BBQing by the pool with the gang. It was pretty perfect and even though it's HOT I can't wait for more summer parties and BBQ's!

Life continues to be confusing and amazing. I can't complain.
