a hundred good days: Movember/No Shave November

With a strong whiff of burnt bagel lingering in my nostrils, I'd like to announce that being 18 years and 8 days old has been awesome. I was able to go to San Diego this past weekend after my English class on Saturday morning. When I finally got to church in less than 3 hours, I swooped Kayla up to watch her, Michaela, and Jamie perform at Bethune Elementary's Fall Festival. After dropping them off, Kayla and I went to our baby cousin's second (and nonetheless, fabulous) birthday party. Kickin' old school with my family and my uncles and aunties who grew up together and are now marrying each other is way too cute. Later that night, Kayla and I went to the mall where it felt like we spent hours walking around and doing nothing.

Sunday morning, Ate April, Kayla, and I hit up Fashion Valley Mall to blow off some much unneeded steam. We had a few expectations to buy some things, but didn't really end up getting anything, lol! We decided to go to Urban Outfitters Hillcrest in hopes of having better luck, but didn't. For me, I just couldn't commit to anything. I guess someone returned online items in store and I found the black floral print doc martin's in my size and a pair of ankle rain boots. The doc's were actually really cute, but I couldn't seem to commit to buying them because I felt like they weren't waterproof! I also found a pair of gloves that are amazing and I plan on buying later when it starts getting colder. Anyway, Ate April and I left empty handed, but Kayla bought herself a cute bag for school. We dropped by In-N-Out on the way home for lunch. I ended up leaving around 4pm to wait 30+ minutes in line for Costco gas and left the area around 4:45pm to make it back to the valley in two hours and fifteen minutes flat. I guess you should call me Speedy McSpeedster.

My Halloween was spent with Jon, and all we did was chill. I was able to go to Michael's and buy knitting needles and yarn :) That evening, after debating whether we should go rent a movie at Redbox, we ended up watching Twilight. Yes. Twilight. And needless to say, I'm hooked. I laughed immaturely at several awkward parts but I'm so interested in what happens next. The romance between Bella and Edward is somewhat thought provoking, but totally makes sense. But I'm not a fan girl, so stop fanning me.

Anyway, here are some (chronological) pictures that are pretty irrelevant to my posts. I'll start shooting more often when my life starts getting eventful, heh.
