Oh this has gotta be the good life

I just have to brag about today for a little.


My awesome parents surprised me and shipped Georgtown Cupcakes to my work for my birthday tomorrow. Favorite cupcakes ever, all the way from Virginia! 


I got a small raise at work.


Aaaand I'm still 21.

July has been good to me, mostly

New York City

NYC... wow! Sure is one concrete jungle. First time I've been and I definitely wanna go back.     Our first day we took the wrong subway and ended up riding the subway for about a total of 4 hours, after I had been on a plane/airport for 8 hours. Nbd, but I wish you could see the city more riding the subway, oh well.

We stayed in Queens by the airport the first night, Spence thought Queens was so ghetto and got stressed a lot haha. I definitely recommend the Buccaneer Diner out there though :). We did a lot of the touristy things like the Brooklyn Bridge, Chinatown, Central Park, Manhattan Temple, Carnegie Deli, Staten Island, Lion King Broadway, World Trade Center Memorial, Times Square and all that. 

I just couldn't believe everywhere you look there are tons and tons of people just walking around. It was just fun to walk around and see everything. So my mom said our hotel was right in Times Square, we were so excited... wrong Marriot mom. 

Bermuda

Bluest water I have ever ever EVER seen! Weird shaped island. Most people get around on scooters, ferry or bus. We did all 3. We visited the Perfumery and Moongate just like they did on the Bachelorette. One of the days we rented scooters and drove them around all day which was lots of fun, and on the other side of the road! Spence only had one little crash with me on the back.

The beaches were amazing! Clear, clear water, smooth pink sand, no sea shells, or rocks to get in the way, beautiful views and I even swam in the Bermuda Triangle! Ironically they celebrated the 4th of July there with a festival and fireworks even though they are part of the UK. 

We went helmet diving and I held a fish, got pretty sunburned, swam in a grotto with stalagtites and shopped shopped shopped. 

Car

My little bug has a lot of mileage and the AC has not been working. Not a good combination for hottt Utah summers. Time to get a new car. Here's my new little Nissan Versa I got last week. So far so good, keep crossing your fingers. 

Moving

I moved out of the gparents house and into another house in Holladay just like 5 minutes away. The roommates aren't home too often but seem nice. I found out they are way older than me. It's a decent house, new kitchen, enough room and bigger bed then I'm used to. Lucky I have Mike to hang these pictures!

Crash

Last Saturday my mom and I got in a 3 car crash in Holladay. Luckily no one got hurt. I got the wind knocked out of me and am still sore but so lucky the airbags didn't go off, and that we weren't driving my new car! A Ram truck ran a red light and got T-boned, and spun into us stopped at the red light. It wasn't even too scary because it all just happened so fast. All 3 cars are totalled and ours caught on fire! But luckily we were just driving my Gma V's spare car so it's no biggie on that loss. Aren't we blessed?!
