We are stars...

Warning: Veronica birthday photos overload. Smiles.

Celebration Day #1 (technically #2 since #1 was the Cokes toast)

Veronica and I went to Burger with Norma and Marcy (it was also her birthday) and it was yum. The photos speak for themselves. The shirt I wore I bought that day, and I cut the shoulders off of them. For being the first time I've done it, I was pretty happy with it. And the burger was amazing as always. Oh and horchata shakes. Enough said.

To see the entire day, watch Veronica's birthday video here.

Celebration Day #3

We went to the gym on this day mind you. But that didn't stop us from going to Trader Joe's and buying a meringue cake for Veronica. I have to say it was crazy good. Especially with pumpkin ice cream all over it. Highly recommend it. Unfortunately we don't have any pictures of us being gluttonous so that benefits you. Smiles.

Celebration Day #4

Love this day. So Vern and I went on a date downtown to Pizza My Heart which is always good. It was packed so we were lucky we got a table. We took some pictures in the restaurant and went over to this building a couple blocks up and took more pictures. A lot of them were on her film camera so I might update you guys on that. I actually curled my hair for the first time in a while so I felt really girly.

All in all, it was a wonderful weekend. I'm glad Veronica had a great time even though she wanted to go home for the weekend. I did too, but we had each other and that's always good.

I really miss home. I'm counting the days until Thanksgiving. But Halloween weekend is going to be insane. Veronica and I will probably have a different look each night. I'm excited to show you all. Smiles.

Sing a sad song just to turn it around...

Last weekend of my first year at college in Santa Cruz meant do as much as we can in the city in one day.

I guess you can say Veronica and I had the best and the worst day ever.

We went shopping around downtown yesterday, looking for things to buy and we did. I had a good haul from Salvation Army of course, and an awesome necklace from Crossroads Trading Co. I can't tell you how much I love that store.

Friday night, we went into Urban Outfitters and Veronica and I found a gorgeous nail color and I had to think about it but we finally bought it yesterday. Mine was a cool periwinkle blue called "Crowded" and hers was a peachy apricot one called "Hangover." We took pictures of them at Pizza My Heart where we ate yummy pizza. The guy in the corner of the picture was this cutie who was dressed pretty classy with a coat, newsboy hat, and glasses, reading a book outside the restaurant. Cutest thing ever.

Which brings me to our outfits. Layers in June. It was raining and windy and cold. I was wearing a depths of the winter outfit and I did not like that one bit. Is this how Santa Cruz works? Hot in February and cold in June? Well, alright.

Last part of the day, Veronica's car was towed in the Trader Joe's parking lot which I thought was absolutely ridiculous. We were there for more than three hours so we were towed. I wonder how many cars they tow a day. A parking lot is a parking lot. So that whole tow thing does not make any sense to me.

But yes, a bittersweet day.
