Come Thou Fount

Come Thou Fount is one of my favorite hymns! I love it so much. Since I didn't have school today, last night was almost like a weekend in my books. So I took some time to do a little watercoloring. It proved to be very therapeutic!

To go along with it, enjoy my favorite version of this song. :)

Happy Friday!!!

No whining in Wine Country.

Hello internet!!! Okay so Super Bowl 49 was super awesome. I decided to root for the Patriots because I had liked them since I was little. As a child, I was indifferent towards the Seahawks, but since they are often viewed as a rival to the 49ers, I don't think I'm allowed to like them. So Patriots it is!!! My awesome dad sent me the coolest Patriots shirt ever in the mail. Love it! 

We had a marvelous predictions poster going, that Sydney made and it was fantastic! So many categories. I ended up winning, not only with the most correct answers, but also with the EXACT final score in the end. 

So I got a sweet trophy. 

The finalized poster. 

The Super Bowl is always so fun for me to watch and so fun to enjoy it with good friends!

For my 20th birthday, I decided to throw a 20s themed birthday party. Genius, I know. In the morning, I went and got a blowout, then after my appointment, Sydney, Annabeth, and Madalyn (Annabeth's niece) met up with me and we went to La Encantada to window shop and then ate at Zinburger. Then we went home and got everything ready for the party! Which is a lot of stuff.

During karaoke, I treated everyone to my favorite childhood performance piece, Reflection from Mulan. For those of you who don't know, I used to sing this song on the playground VERY dramatically when my best friend and I were fighting. I was very self reflective. And attention seeking. Not much has changed. ;)

Party people. 

The next day was my real birthday. It was Sunday, so we went to church. #blessed

When we came home, Sydney and Annabeth treated me to a rainbow confetti photoshoot. It. Was. Heavenly. I love being pampered and it was so great! There are so many photos on Facebook already so I'll spare you all of them. 

The next day, Monday, was very interesting. I had a free pizza coupon from Pizza Studio for my birthday, so I headed over there for lunch after work. There isn't much parking there, so I parked next door at Jack in the Box. When I was walking to the restaurant from my car, I was looking down for a split second, and I walked straight into a street sign. This seriously made my whole week suck. I think I gave myself a mild concussion. I had a horrible headache through Friday, was nauseous, fatigued, very dazed, and overall just felt yucko. My headache is finally going away, it only hurts when I move my eyes. Don't walk into street signs, kids. 

On Friday morning, I FLEW HOME!!!!! My dad's older brother and his family (wife and two kids) live in Hong Kong. They decided to come to San Francisco/Napa for Chinese New Year, so my grandparents and I flew out as well to spend some time with them. 

I got to be reunited with my cutie pie best friend Charlotte. 

Wilbur and Dewey felt left out so they cuddled with each other. 

On Saturday, we drove to Napa and met up with the family for dinner. 

I took pictures on the drive because it was beautiful and I was bored. 

We went to a restaurant called farmstead and it was so delicious!

It was on a cute little ranch and I loved it!

My mom is a certified hottie. 

Mac & Cheese

On Sunday, we drove back up to Napa and went to Oxbow to people watch and get some lunch at our favorite, Ca' Momi. 

This spice place is the best! This is where I get my spice blends that I put on EVERYTHING. Seriously. 

I don't know what these were, but they were cool looking. 

Our lunch!

Fresh burrata with roasted veggies and bread.

Endive salad with pear and blue cheese. 

Wood-fired pizza with mushrooms and taleggio. 

Prosciutto, Arugula, and Parmesan. 

Kelly and her Uncle Keith.

Julia at Duckhorn Vineyard. 

Kelly is a cutie!!

I have to fly back to Tucson tomorrow! My trip was fun to see everyone and to meet Kelly. I enjoyed a break from reality but now it is time to get back to the grindstone before Spring Break!
