Snow in May!

The last two weeks dumped another foot plus of snow in the sierras which means we're going up to Tahoe for the weekend for some spring snowboarding. There is nothing better than snowboarding in only a hoodie in the sunshine...

Reno here we come! :)

The Avett Brothers

Happy Monday!

So I saw this band on Saturday night at the Fox Theater with the roomie and parents. The Avett Brothers. I had only heard a few of their songs 1-2 times so I knew I liked them but I knew almost nothing about them.

They did not disappoint at all. They were totally awesome live and I am now listening to them on repeat. I think everyone if the opportunity presents itself should go see them live because they are great on CD but they are a really fun band to see live. You should go for the onstage dancing and energy alone. You'll understand when you see it.

The opening band was called Truth And Salvage Co. and they were fun too so check them both out!

i heart this

i found this song while watching a movie recently and i kind of love it. sadly i can't seem to find it on iTunes/Limewire so i'll have to settle for youtube. Enjoy :)

Knee Deep...hehe

So after years of having issues with my knee ranging from swelling to crunching to stabbing pain on occasion I finally scheduled an appointment with an Orthopedic Surgeon (the last guy I saw in high school was not very helpful).

Now, I don't want surgery (who does?) - and I don't necessarily think I need it (but who am I to say) but he's the expert so we'll see what he thinks. All I know is that the knee of a 26yr old woman shouldn't behave this way.

I see him in 12 days and I'm very very nervous.

I'm Going to Thailand.....

It's official. My flight is booked and I'm heading back to my birth place!! I'm so so so excited. I really need to get out of town and country and go on a big adventure... the timing couldn't be better!

On June 10th I will be heading to Bangkok by way of Korea and 21 hours later I will be there! I'm going with Pinpin and her friend Allison and meeting up with my sister and her friend to go "island hopping" to some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen (in photos at least)... Ko Phi Phi, Ko Phi Phi Le, and Krabi.

As of right now my top priority is cuddling with Tigers at the famous Tiger Temple. I am sooooooo excited for this!

Any tips on other must see locales are greatly appreciated seeing is the last time I was there I was 12 :)
