New Blog!

Well, I guess I shouldn't say new blog; more like an additional blog. I decided to create another blog to let my inner nerd out. It's called Hit Points in Heels & is still under a bit of construction [still working out the layout & waiting for TP to finish my header] but I've done a few posts so let me know what you think! I plan on continuing to blog here as often regularly [irregularly] as I have been, mostly because I'm keeping my other blog specific to g33k sp34k & n3rd-n355. 

Check it out here: Hit Points in Heels & let me know what you think! [PS. Its a WordPress blog, so I'm still learning how to use it]

Paris - I really do love you

Here are some of my favorite pics from the trip!

I've been super busy with work, and with TP & I moving into our own apartment that I haven't had time to blog, or even give highlights of our trip. I will do that soon, right now it's mani & then bedtime. <3

Quatre Jours!

We leave for Paris in 4 days!

I feel like the time has crept up on us, its so soon! I still have so much I need to do, like pack, get my hair dyed and do some pre-holiday shopping, let alone pack up our entire apartment so we can move the day after we get back. 

BTW; we got a new apartment! I'm so excited to have a new home. Although Trev & I have lived together for almost 2 years, this is the first apartment we actually chose together. 

It is an absolutely beautiful apartment with a balcony, 2 bathrooms, an incredible walk-in closet (that Trev promised to put a wall of shelves in for my shoes), a dishwasher (drool), washer & dryer (drool) and a-to-die for roman bathtub in the master bathroom!

I am so excited for Paris that it's all I can think about! There's no telling how I'm going to make it through the next 3 days, but hopefully it goes by faster than I think it will and I will be able to get all of my stuff done before Friday arrives.

mini-update

I have been so SO busy lately. A few little updates while I have time:

I lost my camera!!!!! I've been so sad about it for the past week. I lost it at the game last Saturday, which is awful because it was the cRapids game and I had loads of really great pictures of us with the Rocky Mountain Cup, including one of my handsome dear chugging a beer out of it. I'm contemplating buying a new one right now, or spending my $$$ on a pre-Paris shopping spree........ (any thoughts?)

14 DAYS UNTIL I GO TO PARIS!!!! Ah! I'm so excited! (I know what you're thinking, who loses their camera 2 weeks before they go to Paris... the answer; this dummy) I've been obsessing over all of it for about a week now, non-stop on my mind. I'll update my Looking Ahead Page as soon as I can with all of the updates in our plans. 

So far, that's all I can think of right now.... more soon though :)

Weekend

Last week, my work blocked blogging & social networking (so bummed about that) so it's taken me a while for an update. But, here is a sum up of my weekend & some pictures:

Friday night was my darling friend Hailey's 'Bye Bye Boobies' party. She is so incredibly brave and is getting a breast reduction on April 2nd. I'm so proud of her for going after what she wants & I had so much fun celebrating her this weekend!

Saturday night was the ReAl game! We played Chivas, and unfortunately, we lost 1-0 but, as always, win or lose, everyone still had so much fun! Salt LakeTill I Die! You can see more pictures I took from the game on the SCU facebook page.

On Sunday, we watched The Hunger Games. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have as much character build up for Effie, Cinna, Peeta or Gale  as they do in the book, but overall I thought the movie was great! (& already 2.5 hours long). I didn't understand the obsessions I've read about with the fashion and the nail polish etc.. but now I get it and I couldn't help but buy the new Glamour Magazine with Jennifer Lawrence on the cover. (& I think I'm going to get the nail polish collection on Friday)

I had such a great time with my family & friends this weekend. I am already working plans in for this week & weekend that I'm so looking forward to so hopefully I get more chances to update this blog as my plans unfold.

RSL Home Opener

Yesterday was the St. Patrick's Day Parade & The Real Salt Lake home opener game. RSL beat the New York Red Bulls 2-0!

We woke up super early to get ready for the parade. We marched with RCB & Salt City United singing, chanting, clapping and having so much fun! Here are a few of the pictures I took. [If you want to see the full size or more pictures, check out the new album I uploaded on my FB here.]

After the parade, we went to breakfast, ran a few errands and then headed to the tail gate. Although the weather sucked [super windy & it rained for like 20 min], we had so much fun! We set up a tent for the Royal Army in our lot and sold the sweaters & shirts that we had  leftover from last year. Also gave away stickers & temporary tattoos. We went from 60 members [before the game] to 120 members! Here are some pics from the game & tail gate

We had so much fun & we're super excited for the game this Saturday [April 24] against Chivas!

RSL Royal Army

In 2009, my boyfriend started Salt City United (SCU). It's a Euro style supporters group for the ReAl Salt Lake soccer team. Right now, it has 51 official members (myself included), and 8 "Probies". Being a part of this group has easily been the most fun I've ever had. I've met so many lasting friendships and am so happy to be a part of it, let alone incredibly proud of my boyfriend for perusing his ideas and achieving such a great assembly of energetic, vulgar, tattooed soccer fans. With that said, here are a few links to learn more about the group:

Since SCU is a closed membership group, meaning not everyone can join, Trev came up with The Royal Army.  This is a supporters group that anyone who supports RSL can be a part of. The Royal Army unites ALL fans, including the fans that are also already a part of a supporters group, like me. Trev has designed & made scarves, shirts, hoodies, stickers and lot more and most are all included in the membership. Here is a link of their website where to sign up & their other social media information:

I am so happy to be part of both of these groups & I'm so excited to see where they take us. Salt Lake Till I Die!

& Most importantly: Go ReAl!
