Velzy Bell

Last Sunday I was able to go to San Diego to visit Jennilee and meet little miss Velzy Bell for the first time! And let me just tell you, she is adorable. Velzy was born on the 26th of October, and was blessed this last Sunday. Jellie has some better picures on her blog, but here are a few I took. and I had to throw in one picture of Velzy wearing the robot shirt I made her. I love robots... and hopefully Velzy will too.

Thanks jane and conor for letting me come visit you and sleep at your house.

(And Conor thanks for letting me steal your wife.)

Jane, thanks for swimming in the ocean with me at night, even when you were scared of sharks.

Thanks for making me acai bowls and eating haleiwa eats with me.

Thanks for letting me use your surf board and thanks for taking me to sunset beach and waimea.

Oh, and most importantly, thanks for making my blog look so darn cute.

Love you lots boobie. You are the best.

So, I decided I need to use my flight benefits at least once a month to make this whole flight attendant thing worth it. I mean, if I'm going to be making as much money as a junior in high school working at McDonald's, I might as well get some good trips out of the deal, right???

So far I've been to Portland and Atlanta... and I decided this month should be San Diego. I got to see Jennilee for a bit (who, by the way, had her beautiful baby Velzy yesterday!) and I met up with some of my other girl friends, Jess, Holly, and Megan.

My weekend consisted of VG donuts with the girls, meeting up with my lovely mother in Anaheim for a day of shopping, in-n-out (holls, i was really looking forward to sushi deli with you...), and a bike ride along the boardwalk at mission beach. It was almost perfect.

Leaving San Diego is usually a pretty difficult task for me emotionally, but I decided Salt Lake isn't going to be too bad... especially if I can leave whenever my little heart desires.

i'm a resident...

how cute is my creepy-looking old apartment??? i love it.

Got myself a library card today... and I'm real excited about it.

oh gosh, where to begin...

a lot has changed since i last wrote... i'm not very good at keeping this thing updated, but for those few and far between that read this, here's an update on my life:

i am now an official flight attendant. ha! i was never planning on having such a profession, but somehow i've found myself on an airplane for the last four days serving peanuts and beverages to complete strangers. weird. this is a picture of me and my roommate from training.

also, i've been able to use my flight benefits a bit... starting off by going to my best friend's wedding in portland. jane married conor and they are the luckiest and cutest couple ever. their wedding reception was amazing (both in portland and in san diego)... jane is always really good at whatever she does and the party was just about as beautiful as the bride.

i also got to stay in portland for a couple of days with my friends ashley and karly... we went to the omsi and took a submarine tour, and watched the imax hubble movie (which was amazing by the way), went to the rose garden, ate amazing food, took a visit to voodoo donuts, and made it to the farmers market. pretty much a great weekend in an even greater city.

after that i was able to go down to san diego for jane and conor's open house and to hang out with my bestie jennilee... jenilee is super cute and about to have baby number two... i can't even wait. also went out to atlanta for a total of 48 hours to visit trevor and roxanne and their babes. keller and lila are seriously the cutest things ever. keller just learned how to start riding his bike without training wheels and was already trying to find jumps he could hit. pretty freaking rad for an almost 4 year old.

also, i am no longer a nomad!! i signed a lease for an apartment in the avenues of slc... and it is so nice to not have to live out of my car anymore!! i'll be here for at least a year if all goes as planned... however, i'm learning that NOTHING ever goes as planned.

but, for now i am settled, employed, healthy and happy...
