Summer random awesomeness!

I officially made my first pie! It was blueberry and oh so delicious. I am officially a woman!



We hiked up squaw peak for the meteor shower and had lunchables! Whew what a hike but the view was the BEST!!


To help you understand what I'm doing, each of those manilla envelopes has a negative in it and I am cataloging them. There are rows and rows! But they are interesting pictures to me, lucky for me being an Anthropologist!!
