this is just a shout out of me today. i am disgusting. but i have an awesome shirt. do you know who this good lookin guy is? yes. it is stormin norman.. my AMAZING grandpa! i "won" this shirt in our family christmas exchange this year. and yes i wear it quite frequently.
have i mentioned how much fun i have with photobooth?
saggy? skinny? messed up!
really im not kidding, we sleep in our car. some people have wondered how we are able to afford just taking off from life the way we have. this is it... we sleep in our car.. even if its 17 degrees outside- ill get to that.. (nice triple chin)
after we left phoenix... which we had a wonderful time by the way. we enjoyed the jazz vs suns game, had a wonderful backyard pizza party, shopped, (sam had work meetings), he dune buggied, and just enjoyed good company... after all that we decided to go to a little place called sedona. it is beautiful and all around were these cool indian ruins.
this is a well they used. it was beautiful. the first day we got there the weather was really crummy so we just went around to little shops in town. this was the second day and it was wonderful weather.
i love this picture, because in all honestly sam really does hate (is a little afraid of) snakes :)
this one is called montezuma castle. it was amazing and SO high up in the cliffs
we went on an incredibly beautiful and BUTT KICKING hike too. maybe only for me sam was cruizin!
mushy i know but i love it!
like i said it was crummy weather the day before and rained like crazy.. this much water is insane for this area!
the next day we headed to the GRAND CANYON! and grand it was.. except we couldnt see anything... because there was a huge BLIZZARD outside. i thought we headed south??
we decided that since we couldnt see a darn thing that we would wait another day.
so we slept in our car... in 17 degree blizzardy (is that a word?) conditions!
i thought these were little cuties...
and the next day it was beautiful. and we could see the bottom!
yes this is in arizona. at the grand canyon. it really snowed a ton!
on our way back to joshua tree (which is where we are again) we decided to stop at the london bridge.
it really wasnt what we expected. not really anything great about it actually... but it was interesting to see and learn a little bit about. lake havasu which is where it is located however is a beautiful place!
that is a little bit of what has been going on in our adventures. notice how im wearing a headwrap in all of these pictures? thats what you get for sleeping in a car! :) dont worry it was only a few days!
.heres a few thoughts as of late.
i guess thats a woman for you?
i can admit that im not a complete idiot when it comes to creativity, but i know im not a super genius either.
although i find myself in comparison a lot, im actually really thankful for all you genius' out there! it helps me open myself up to different options and realizations that i CAN do many things. i just need to realize that your creativity doesnt need to be mine. i need and should be happy with the things that i can do... and do them. and really i just need to educate myself on how... so keep it up- and when i copy the things you do... its really just a compliment! :)
last week i wrote a post about my pops. unfortunately last week he had to get his baby toe removed. he had two blood clots in his leg causing zero blood flow to his baby toe. he was in a lot of pain and his toe was inevitably dying. after a few weeks and unbearable pain, it started getting gang green... so surgery it was. and off with the toe it went. the night before the surgery i was talking to him and it made me realize what a stud i have for a dad.
he may have been on a few pain meds, but the whole time he was joking around about it.. something he said that still has me laughing was:
"what i want to know is how im going to teach my grand kids this little piggy went to market. what am i going to say and this little piggy went wee wee wee and i dont know where he went, he just never came back."
he is awesome!
life is good.
we are coming home on the 16th for stellas baby blessing. i cant wait!
lets do lunch! :)

you are incredibly talented and don't ever tell yourself otherwise! Sometimes I get overwhelmed by other peoples blogs too because I really think that some people never sleep and are accomplishing way more crafty creative things than I could probably do in a lifetime!! But what can ya do! I am glad you are having so much fun on your road trip! (but I am not gonna lie...I'm not really jealous about sleeping in that 17 degree weather!) that gives me the chills just thinking about it! Love ya!
i think its so fun that you and sam are doing this trip. I would never have the guts to do that . . . or maybe i'm just not adventurous enough. And thats funny what you said about comparing yourself to other bloggers. I do the same thing, but I always look at you (and taryn) and think I was as crafty, stylish, and talented as you two are!
you two are CRAZY! haha I would throw such a tantrum if I had to sleep in my car in those conditions. You are such a trooper! I love to see all your travels lately it looks liek you are having so much fun :) And shut yo mouth about not being talented..you inspire me so much!!! Love you :)
Wow I love you. Just thinking about you being homeless and making yourself pretty in the McDonalds bathroom brings a smile to my face :) And I must say you are the creative and talented one. I am the one who missed that boat...not really sad though. Can't wait to see you!
Do I even need to say it, Kyrst? PUH-LEASE! You are so creative. And graphic design? You got it! I adored the invitations your made for Maddie's bridal shower. Seriously... you are so talented. I spent most of my bed-ridden moths last summer waiting with anticipation to see what crafty revamps and thrift finds you were going to talk about each day. So glad to hear Tony is keeping the humor. That little cutie keeps me laughing, I swear. Love you and hope you're getting a shower... I've been wondering about that little detail.
you are the QUEEN of creativity. you think you're looking at everyone's creativity, but really everyone is looking at yours.
And yes, i'd love to do lunch.
You are one amazing person! And you are one of those creative people in my eyes with all of your finds, fashions, and designs. I love it--seriously!
You are so wonderful. Molly is right..everyone is looking at your creativity and creation and wishing they had a pinch of that themselves. I know I do! Your pictures of the grand canyon are AMAZING! It looks like you guys are having a blast! Be safe, and take a shower next chance you get :)
Love you!
glad you are having so much fun! Love the joke your Dad made, it will be fun to see you guys next week!
FINALLY!!!!! We've been looking at your blog everyday waiting to see what is going on next in your lives. Looks like you're having a ball. Grandpa says,"Tell Sam that when you are wearing that T-Shirt to not squeeze too hard or you'll get his (Grandpa's) face out of shape. Anxious to see you and of course the rest of the gang. Love, Grandpa & Grandma
We are ion Texas right now, and hit all the snow on the way down too. How funny that my exact words were "We are headed south...there isn't supposed to be snow!" Have fun!
Kyrst I am so glad you and Sam are having such a great time! What adventurers you are! We are all amazed by your fun spirit. I always feel more happy after reading your blog. Have fun for me! Love ya.
hey darling girl!
so glad i get to keep up with you through your blog.
i had so much fun with you girls at the pizza party. hopefully we'll be able to get together sometime in the near future! (i don't know how but i'm crossing my fingers;)
Looks like you guys have been having fun and been busy !!!
Kyrsten, you are so talented! It's crazy you even say those things because I look at the things you and Sam have done and think "Oh I wished Ron and I could have done all that!" One of the many things I love about you is your testimony in everything! You are so inspiring! I am so glad you guys are having so much fun...even in 17 degree weather!!
