Lindsey, sometimes when I see conjoined stuff, I ALSO think of you

Isn't it precious?

FYI: The mess in the background is in the clinic break room.

I work my self silly to pay the bills. If anyone deserves to be wrapped in seaweed and buried in mud, it's me.

I'm back from Arizona and I'm ready to go back in two weeks!
Before I flew home I had to take a psy test.
To prepare I had to stay up until 3 am the night before to study.
I took my test Friday morning at 8 and then drove the almost 3 hour drive to the airport.
The only thing that kept me alive was a tall, cool, crisp Monster.

Oh and this guy

Why would anyone need a trailer THAT BIG for that little thing?
I finally decided to pass him so I could take this picture:

Then I had the most amazing TWO hour flight with this guy:

He thought he was so cool with his hand JUST LIKE THAT the whole flight!
I felt like I had a three year old sitting behind me.


I didn't actually take many pictures while I was in Arizona.
I snapped this one just before going to Adam and Kelsie's for phase 10.

Don't worry, I lost.

While I was home I got to see Deanna's new house (which I LOVE)
Got to meet Deanna's new puppy, Teddy. He is adorable!
Ate at Tom's BBQ. And hated it. Never again.
Tried Ocean Blue ice cream on Val Vista and Baseline.
(I'm going to have to try it again, mine had too much sugar)
I got to meet little baby girl Alexandra.
Vince and I ate at our favorite restaurant the Thai House. So yummy!
Got to see Lindsey and spent an hour too long in her hot car.
And we had ice cream from Mesa Frozen, always yummy!
Then we picked this up:

This is the most uh.may.zing. thing ever!
It's shampoo in a can.
For those days you uhh don't have time to shower,
it's perfect.

So pretty much food was the highlight of my visit.

When I got back to Oregon, Rachel and I decided to float down the River.

I took more pictures but they are on another camera which I left at her house :(

We decided that floating the river reminded us of when we went white water rafting in Maupin.
When we almost died!

We were just floating along

When our tour guide told us to make a hard turn and to slide to the opposite side

Who knew this was going to happen?

Oh and who is stuck under the raft? That's right, Rachel and I.

We're smart.

And then I found this picture
I love how everyone is so focused on rafting, n stuff.
Oh, I'm working on my sitting skills



Rachel is three months preggers and I couldn't be more excited for her!
It's like one of my sisters having a baby. It's. That. Exciting.

I gave baby girl her very first present!
I found the cutest pacifier clip from here


Rachel and Brett, LOVING it!

Rachel and I have been best friends since the first time we talked to each other over 4 years ago.


You're gorgeous!



And today I had an interview for an on campus position.

Wish me luck! I find out if I get it next week.
If I do, I start in October!

A stick, a ball and a pocket full of dreams....

Vince suprised me with tickets to Arizona for the weekend!
I am way, way, way excited!

I really need this right now.
only have 3 more weeks of school and I have been way burned out.
Not to mention last week was way poopy.

We had a car wash to help pay for the Washington DC/New York trip next month.


Who knew you can get sunburned in Oregon.
(I do....now)

It will be nice to hang out by the pool in a place I know I'm going to get burned.
This trip is much needed.

I am so excited to come down.
Lindsey and Chris are coming down for the weekend from CA.

I get to help Deanna move into her new house!

And see her new puppy....Teddy!

And see Sabrina's little baby Alexandra.
Isn't she precious!

And Vince and I get date night...Twice!

It's Thai house for us!! Kelsie and Adam, You in?

I gotta go, my heart is gonna give up on me any second now.
I'm all hopped up on Monster.
See you tomorrow, Arizona.

New York I love You

I leave for New York in almost a month! Yay!
I'm pretty sure ghetto Apache Junction is the Farthest east I've ever been.

Isn't it beautiful!

I really hope I get to hang out with this Lady


Maybe go for a run here
I would love to go eat here (I know it's cliche)
and get a frozen Hot Chocolate
(I once ordered their frozen Hot Chocolate mix, as I recall it was really messy but worth every drop of chocolate)
Good Morning, Good Morning. In the news this morning, Good Morning.
I really want to go shopping! Buuuuut since I don't have any money I can't :(
If I do get anything, I'm going to have my eyes peeled for a super amazing cute knockoff Dolce and Gabbana bag.

I am willing to push down any Asian Teenager that gets in my way.

I'm most excited about all the hot dogs! Ummm nom nom nom!
I'm warned that I should wait until the last day of the trip to avoid diarrheaz.
I might take my chances.

Community

Okay, okay, so I don't ever watch TV....so maybe this is old news but I just found out that Joel McHale is going to be starring in the show "Community" this fall! I really need to up grade my TV so I can watch that. Here's a sneak preview for ya!

PS Joel is amazing, therefore Community must be amazing. Simple logic. You do the math.

My thoughts exactly...

I don't know who you are but I tried to get excited for your birthday.....
It just isn't happening.

Impromtu Photo Shoot- Ashley 2.0

Last week I had a photo shoot with my friend Kelsey who is such a wonderful photographer. She called me last minute to see if I wanted to have some pictures taken,

so I jumped right out of bed.

Here are some of my favorites.

This is my favorite










The Owl is my school mascot. So much better than a Jackrabbit!



Not every shot was "picture perfect" Here are some candid photos.

I was fixing my hair but instead it looks like I'm clawing something.
Kelsey was trying out some flipped hair shots, well I don't really do sexy. I flipped my hair and it got all over my face and inside my mouth. It was gross-and very un-sexy.

Here's my take on The Ring


Kelsey had me pose on a stool for a couple pictures-until it hit me. I AM IN PAIN.

After an hour of photos, WAY past my bedtime we called it a day.
