it starts tonight!

I haven't talked about my plan for the next 10 days much because I wasn't exactly sure I was going to go until yesterday.. BUT

Everything worked out.
I finished what I needed to.
I got my shifts at work covered.
Which means...I'm going on a road trip!
People: Arthur, his friend Taylor, and his girlfriend Erika and her brother.
Duration: 10 Days.
States: 13 of em'!
Reason: To pick up Erika, who is moving here for the summer. Their story is adorable, and so are they. Long story short, they have been in a long distance relationship for about 1.5 years and the longest time they have spent together is a little more than a week. And now they get a whole summer!

Our plan is to fly to New York TONIGHT (red eye) and go to Taylor's girlfriends parent's house.
We will spend two nights in NY and then start our road trip back to Eugene. We got a car which means 5 people..in a 5 person car. Comfortable, right?!

I'm not exactly sure where we are staying, or where we are stopping. I'm not sure if they guys are too sure either...but that will be all part of the adventure! I'll try and keep this updated with daily excursions and how the trip has been going. I have a lot to do between now and tonight but I am so excited!

I finished all but one of my finals this week (thankful for prayer and the ability to take my finals early :) ). Next week all I have is a take home final which will be easy to do online. It all worked out so well. And to think I got so stressed over it. There I go again....

I CANNOT wait to start this journey.

I'll keep my thousands of readers posted, don't worry :)

No words needed.

Names are only so helpful--> but pictures! That's what draws people in. Could be a memory of a time, or the feeling you get when you picture yourself in that situation. The power of photography is huge . Pictures can take you back to a moment you had-- one that you could never go back and repeat, and it gives you joy. Photography can also cause laughter, and quite frequently--embarrassment. For those pictures, thankfully there is a delete button. But compare this post to my last one. Instead of the names of all of the cities and countries to visit on a Eurotrip , try pictures . See if it entices you more. These pictures correlate with the list of cities in my previous blogpost... but I will have to split it in half and show you the first fifteen in this post, the last 16 in the next.. :)

Tiffany & Co Bridal Shower

So you've seen my Coral themed bridal shower (For those of you that haven't, you should definitely check it out here ) but as my duties as a maid of honor, I was given the opportunity and privilege to host my cousin's bridal shower. When I asked her what she wanted as a theme- she knew instantly. "Breakfast at Tiffany's". I had no idea how many great ideas I would find on Pinterest under this category, but let me tell you- there was millions! It was so fun. We had it this last saturday at the same place I had mine at- so some of the things look pretty similar, just in a different color. Everyone was asked to wear black which was adorable, and the bride wore a black and white dress so she stood out. She looked so beautiful.

10 Reasons Why Japan is Wonderful

Japan is a very special, unique little place. Well- it’s not THAT little. Especially when it holds a population of around 127 million. But what makes Japan so great? Because as soon as you step on their soil, you know there is something wonderful about the place. I’ve compiled a list of interesting characteristics about Japan and its people that have captured my love for this foreign, hello-kitty loving, beautiful place. CUSTOMER SERVICE. I haven’t been somewhere that has such great customer service. They will literally run to get you what you asked for, or run around to try and make sure that the customer is happy. I once asked about a product in the grocery store and they ran to the back of the store, bagged up what I needed, and ran it back to me in under two minutes. 2. CUSTOMER SERVICE IN RESTAURANTS The customer service in restaurants is quite different than in the U.S. Typically, they have a button at the table that you press when you are ready t
