My Huckleberry Friend

Most of you know I am a huge Audrey Hepburn fan. She was elegant, caring, talented and beautiful. I truly look up to her, and I wanted to share a few quotes today with you.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
-- Audrey Hepburn

Let's face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me.
-- Audrey Hepburn

Not to live for the day, that would be materialistic -- but to treasure the day. I realize that most of us live on the skin -- on the surface -- without appreciating just how wonderful it is simply to be alive at all.
-- Audrey Hepburn

Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.
-- Audrey Hepburn

I hope these words inspire you!

Fun In The Sun

September is always one of the hardest months in Arizona. Everyone else in nation seems to be enjoying the cooling weather, and we are still stuck with 100 degree days. Even though September is my birth month, the start of college football, and the kick-off for all good television shows I reallt cannot wait for October!

But this September has been a good bit of fun. Chris, his parents and I made a trip out to Sedona for Labor Day weekend this year. We hiked, shopped and did wine tasting. It was a great weekend.
Chris and I also attended our first ASU football game as Alumni! We tailgated with our friends before hand and then cheered on our Sundevils to a victory over NAU.
One of the biggest highlights of this month was seeing Brad Paisley in concert!! His opening act was Darius Rucker (who I performed with in the 7th grade), and the entire concert was pretty amazing. The only bad thing was the heat. We had grass seats and in order to get the best seats we had to get there early to save our seats. This meant three hours in the sun before the concert even started. But it was completely worth it!

To end our September we will be making to a trip out to Yuma to celebrate our nephew Jake's first birthday. We are so excited to see the little guy and Chris' family!! We are so blessed to have such a great nephew, and it will be a blast celebrating his big day!

Stay tuned for a post about Jake's birthday party!
