birthday time & mini trips

 after moving back in with my parents for an undetermined amount of time, i get to see miguel a lot less as we live about an hour away from each other now :/ however, it gives me the excuse to make mini trips to visit him for a few days & for him to visit me : ) during one visit, we went bowling! i had so much fun (even though he won both games...!).
i went on a weekend camping trip with my family on memorial day weekend & found a cute little cabin made for kiddies. i didn't care though, becuase i love little things! i climbed right up into the little balcony : ) i took colette with me & she liked the cabin too hehe :D


 after eating at a chinese restaurant, i got a fortune that may be for the blogger family meet-up i will be going to in seattle in july! what do you all think? : )
miguel's birthday was last week & i spent four days with him. we had loads of fun together. i got him the most amazing birthday candle! & actually after watching an episode of glee the day after, i realized that they had the same candle on glee! haha. but anyways, here is miguel & his birthday candle! (i think it's funny how i am so loud...oh dear. haha. oh & i LOVE how excited & happy he looks : ))
 as part of his birthday surprise, we  went geocaching together! i made a team account through the official geocaching site & we used coordinates & gps to find a treasure that someone had hid. it was really quite exciting! i recommend it to anyone ready for an adventure in treasure hunting.


i've been really quite busy lately, trying to go through everything in my room & get rid of a bunch of stuff. i am planning to have a garage sale soon to sell everything. after moving back home, it is very hard to combine two collections of things together. so i am getting rid of things! i want to try to make my life a little simpler : )

  1. Aww, that video was so cute! He seems like such a great guy. Happy birthday to him! :)

    Good luck with going through everything in your room! I know it's difficult and I am to attempt to do the same. I want a clutter-free space to come back to during the holidays. Not sure I can live a minimalist life style, (too many things inspire me for art projects!) but I will sure try.

      yes! it is difficult. i get overwhelmed often. & although a minimalist life style would probably be ideal, i know there is now way that i could go that far! hehe. i'm on your same page with inspiration!
