“I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.”

-from the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

grabbin' life by the horns.

checking things off of my life list, one day at a time. this past weekend:
#23. Ride a mechanical bull: CHECK

TX.

OH TEXAS.. how i love you. a view weekends ago I went to that great state and have a much needed break from school and a much needed catch-up time with the people that live there. basically, i just had a wonderful time, clearly. We were always on the go, and I loved it. Here are a few things that I took from the trip.

1. Austin, TX is not like all of texas. it pretty much defies all stereotypes of texas.
2. There are no seat covers in any of the bathrooms in texas, gross.
3.I was in love with the resturant names, ie. pluckers, mighty fines, hula hut.
4. Danielle is the worlds BEST tour guide, she should work at disneyland ;)
5. creamed corn is better then it looks. a LOT better.
6. Downtown at night, is probably why they have shirts that say "keep austin weird"
7.Danielle should also be an interior designer. really though.
8. Everyone in texas looks good in burnt orange. (SO much UT pride).
9. the schools are beautiful, and in door, and I want to go to them.
10. Summit Church is stinkin' adorable and I am so exited about all the things that are going on there!
11. Saying ma'am and ya'll are so adorable, and i wish more people here in california said it.
12. When I told people I was from California, the usual response was, "I'm sorry".
13. I really wanted to see an armadillo in the wild, but sadly it never happened.
14. i love queso. and matt hires.
15. I CANT WAIT to go back :)

welp, I really did have the best time on this trip and so THANK YOU danielle.
