Happy day to the best girl I know! I just realized that ma gurl, megan annE klein is leaving the united states in a week! I am so excited to see all of her adventures in China! I am ever so thankful for meeting her last year at the honors orientation. She is such a good example of being outgoing, inclusive and working hard. On more than one occasion has she forced me into studying/doing my homework. Best of luck to ya megs!

love your distinguished friend,

julie ann

I found myself at the fabric store with mi madre this morning. 

textiles get me just like paper products do 

where are my crayons?

i am a sucker for paper products...cards, stationary, journals, sketch books, patterned paper, postcards, etc... anyway this journal is right up my alley. it is way funny/random and helps you lock into your inner two year old by ripping up paper and spilling juice all over the pages.

the glow

i have been lost all day in this amazing blog.
it makes me so excited to eventually (as in a long long time) have a family.
i love how it shows that it is possible to stay focused on the things you love while having, raising and teaching a family.

2011  m u s i c

2011 has been a solid year with so many amazing albums. i love lists but somehow making a list of my favorite albums of the year seems like i am hurting one of my best band's feelings haha. but here are my favorites just to name a few...

radiohead, fleet foxes, adele, bon iver, decemberist, death cab, beruit, wilco, coldplay, florence + the machine, black keys, iron and wine, st. vincent, the civil wars, cults, noah and the whale, the war on drugs and so many more. just between bon iver, fleet foxes and radiohead how can you get a better year than that?

also not to forget really good local bands: Desert Noises as well as The Moth and the Flame. sooooo goooood.

2011 treated me well, 10 billion times better than 2010, 2009 or even 2008. hopefully 2012 will turn out just as spunky as this one

reread hunger games today.

so excited for the movie.

cried watching the trailer 20x today

aaaannnnnddddd last but not least the civil wars are on the soundtrack.

kindle for christmas....book suggestions? open to any and all!

i made a terrarium today. i'm testing out my green thumb and since a terrarium is basically suppose to keep itself alive, i really hope this works. otherwise, what does that say about my gardening skills haha?
