Camping.

Want to know a secret? I've never been camping. I've been to "camps" where you stay in cabins and eat in the dining hall, but never sleep in tents and gather around the fire kind-of-camping. I long to. I love nature. It's rejuvenating. It's tranquil. It's beauty. Hopefully soon.

Happy Weekend!

Did you know that the real world doesn't have Easter/Spring break?? Darn Corporate America. This is my first year without the oh-so-necessary spring break. Bummer. :( On the up-side though, my boss decided mid-week to give us Good Friday off! {I'm God's favorite, in case you didn't know. ;)} Helloooo, 3-day weekend! Considering these 3-days my "spring break", I've decided to make the most of it. Today I am doing much-needed errands and er...shopping! ;) Then, going to the Rock and Worship Roadshow tonight at Arco Arena. I'm sooo excited! Mercy Me, David Crowder Band, Family Force 5, and more! Then, on Saturday I'm going snowboarding! I use to go allll the time years back (like every Thursday for $10 lift tickets!), but sadly, have not been in a couple years. Maybe I can squeeze one more in before the season is over. Saturday night's plans are still pending. My sisters want to go to an Easter play in Modesto; our attendance just depends on how exhausted we are from snowboarding. Easter Sunday will consist of church, family, and relaxation. Looking forward to starting my weekend...now!

Love,
Sarah

Craigslist.



I recently have been enlightened with the amazingness of Craigslist. Looking for something? Anything? Don't want to pay retail price? Looking for a great deal? (Wow, can you say salesperson? haha.) Well, Craigslist is your answer! I'm currently looking into buying a LV purse, Coach purse, and a bike cruiser. Bliss!

Fun. Not fun. More fun.

What a week it has been! Is it typical for awesome, fun weekends to be followed by crappy week days? ...to balance out? Possibly. As mentioned, this past weekend was so great! It was fun being with friends, sharing laughs, and creating memories (most of them hilarious ones!). It's a shame it had to come to an end and all of us go back to our lives & schedules; but that's life, right? This week has been so difficult...emotionally, at work, with life's demands...I can't wait for it to be over. At times, I wish to escape all of it. Jump on a jet plane, land in a remote place, and rejuvenate myself - with my thoughts, my emotions, with Christ, regain perspective on life. Does this make sense? I find myself questioning my life and the route it's taking. I'm at stage in my life where there are decisions to be made, goals to accomplish, and where I need to start "spreading my wings". I get discouraged that I have such high goals and dreams stirring up in my mind, but seem so far-fetched when reality seeps in. I don't want to drag on, but it's just been a tough week. On the up-side, I have another fun weekend to look forward to. It's my friend, M.'s, birthday and we're heading to SF (yet again!). We plan on biking the Golden Gate bridge! Being born in SF and visiting The City alllll the time, I am sad to say I have never had this experience. Besides that, there's no real set plan...just hanging out, shopping, eating, and possibly manis & pedis. Bliss! One more day of hell! (pardon my French!)

Weekend in The Bay.

I'm spending the weekend in The Bay! I have some friends from Arizona who are visiting California for the weekend. Although, I would have loved to spend the entire week with them, I am bound to my typical week of work, homework, church, & gymming. So, after work today, my sister & I are heading out to San Jose for a fun-filled weekend! We're doing the typical tourist run in San Francisco on Saturday...Pier, Union Square, Haight, Palace of F.A., Twin Peaks, etc. The weather forecast looks great, 66 degrees & partly sunny. I look forward to shopping, yummy food, and good friends. Then, on Sunday we're going to Jubilee Church, I've never been there for Sunday service only for Hillsong concerts. I'm looking forward to it! The rest of Sunday will probably consist of relaxation & possibly the beach. I can't wait! Is it 3pm yet?!

Fun times await!

What are your weekend plans?

Thai Deliciousness.

Have you ever tried Thai food? I'm semi-new to it, and love it! A co-worker introduced me to a noodle plate that I can seriously eat every day - Beef Drunken Noodle, or it's authentic Thai name of Pad-Kee-Mow. There's a restaurant 2 blocks from where I work, on J & 25th, called Thai Basil. It's a cute, clean, & modern family-owned place. If ever you're in the area, it's a must! (Don't be fooled by the picture - it's heaven in your mouth!)
