GO WILDCATS!

This is just a quick post because I had to share this happy news....

So, if you've been reading my blog and/or know me personally at all, then you'll know that I went to the University of Arizona. I have always been very proud to call myself a Wildcat. That's the school's mascot for those of you that don't know.

Well, last night we beat #1 ranked Duke in the Sweet Sixteen seed meaning that we are now in the Elite 8!!!!! That's a huge deal and I couldn't be more excited!! Our next game is on Saturday against UConn and this will be another huge game for us. If we win that game, then we are in the FINAL FOUR!!!!! Aaaaahhh!!! That would be amazing!

Sorry to bore those of you that read my blog that aren't into sports at all but this was just too great not to share! : )

Weekend Recap

Well, that was quite a whirlwind weekend! Here a few of my favorite pictures:

On Saturday, my friend Courtney flew into town and we went straight to the UofA/UCLA football game to cheer on our beloved Wildcats. Here we are tailgating on the golf course that surrounds the Rose Bowl with another UofA friend. She, however went there for grad school so her loyalty lies with her undergraduate school, UCLA. That's ok, we still like her anyway. : ) Oh, UofA did win this game by the way.











On Saturday night, I dressed up as Betty Boop. I can't believe that pretty much everyone guessed it from the clues I gave in Can You Guess My Costume. Courtney was a fabulous peacock! Isn't her costume amazing?! However, my absolute favorite costume of the night was this girl dressed as a shower loofah! She even had a bubble gun with her! I loved it! And nope, I didn't know her but that never stops me on Halloween. : )













Then on Sunday night, I decided to switch it up and I was a blue crayon. Isn't my costume awesome?! I had no intention of wearing something else but Courtney and I stumbled upon a huge Halloween store near my home and we just had to go inside and check it out. Right away, I noticed this fun costume and just had to get it. Then, of course what blue crayons do you know with bright pink hair? None! So, I had to be different. My roomie Gina went out with us this night and she was such a cute 'Little Red Riding Hood'. We met these two Ghostbusters while we were out and just had to get a picture with them.















So, how was your weekend? Were your costumes a success? Or did you decide to not partake in any of that this year? I can't say that I'll ever be over Halloween and wearing costumes. I just enjoy all of that way too much.

Arizona Transplants

So I've been discovering lately that I actually know a lot more people that live here in LA then I originally thought. They all come here for different reasons; grad school, job opportunity, music and film industry, closer to family and of course just to be able to live in this awesome city.

Last night I met up with a group of University of Arizona alums and other Phoenix friends at a nearby bar. It was so refreshing and fun to be around Arizona people here. It's kinda like the best of both worlds. It's certainly important to go out and meet new people and expand your circle but I also think that that it's great to stay connected with long-time friends too. It's like the song goes, "make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other is gold". I will forever be grateful to my college for introducing me to some amazing friends. I am glad that some of them are here in LA but I wish more would come.
