Yay for May!

London will be headed out to AZ in a few weeks! We haven't seen each other since October, so I'm really looking forward to spending some time with her! I think I'm starting to feel a lil' London withdrawal ;) It's going to be good to see her!

The first weekend she's here we'll be heading to the AZ Regional Burn called Toast which is located near Sanders, AZ (NE of Show Low, near the New Mexico border). It's a small festival, similar to Burningman. I'm not sure what to expect other than camping with good people and having good times, but that sounds just about awesome! I'm sure it will get me pumped up for the Burn this year and it's always great to meet others who love Burningman! Camping with friends is always a good time :) After the Toast, London and I will be shooting around Tucson and Phoenix as much as possible before heading out to California.

On our way out to Los Angeles, we'll be hitting up the Joshua Tree Music Festival. Last year, London and I attended the Coachella Music Fest before working in L.A. That was a lot of fun and I can't wait to attend another music fest together. I'm hoping we'll make some friends at the Toast that will also be attending Joshua Tree. There's going to be lots of music, art, fun hippie people and pretty nature. Hopefully the weather stays cool and beautiful like it has been the past few weeks. I can't wait for May! It's going to be an exciting month =)

Happy Early Birthday to Me!!!

I call my mom to see how she's doing...

"What's up mom, how are you?"

"Oh, you're dad and I are at the dealership buying a new car", she says so casually.

My parents hardly do anything random, especially with a lot of money, such as buying a car. So I was quite shocked. Especially with how calm she said it.

"Um...Ok!? For you? You guys are buying a car?"

"Yeah! I was going to wait to tell you, but since you called at the right moment... I am buying a new car and will be giving you my car, the Monte Carlo"

"Holy Shit!!! You're not kidding! Happy early birthday to me! Thanks Mom! Thank you, Thank You, Thank You so much!"

My birthday is coming up this month, April 25th. So I guess I got a car for my birthday! Definitely wasn't expecting that! What a great surprise!!! I still can't believe it! My car has been overheating lately and I've been worried about taking it on road trips, so this is perfect. Although, I will miss it a lot. That's my car! I've had my little old '97 Chevy Cavalier for over 10 years! But those have been some tough years and the poor girl is tired. My mom's Monte Carlo is in a lot better condition. I will feel a lot safer in it and I will be able to start traveling again! Woohooo!

London and I have plans to drive to L.A. next month and now we will have a reliable car! Between my Cavalier and her Mustang, I was worried we were going to have to pay out for a rental car for the trip. But my mom has saved the day and provided us with a nice reliable car for our trip. Hells YES! Now it's time to start planning for California...
