Music and Arts Festival in San Francisco for Three days








the Music and Arts festival in San Francisco was absolutely amazing. I am so glad that i got to go and be with Jillian. We had some amazing and crazy experiences that we wont ever forget. From walking 60 blocks at least the first few hours in the city... to bearly making it to Radiohead the first night. Friday night was fun. We met up with my friend Andrew and a few others. Saturday Jill and i had an amazing breakfast in union square and made our way to the Golden Gate Park for the days festivities. We got to hear many artists: Cake, Steve Winwood, Ben Harper, Tom Petty, and many more that just topped off day. Sunday was once again great. We shopped a bit in the morning and then headed across town, Andrew Bird, the cool kids: who were so fun to dance to, and Jack Johnson were my favorites for that day but there were many more that we enjoyed. I am so thankful for my friend nate because he let us stay for free at his place in union square and it was perfect. Sunday night after the concert we loaded BART and came back to drive home... from there I drove in the mid of the night up to chico because SCHOOL started the next day.

Camping with some of my favorite people.






Jillian, Grant, Andrew and Brady went camping with me for a weekend in Colfax at Rollins Lake. We had sucha fun time.
We arrived late friday night adn sent up camp in the dark. Got up the next morning to a beautiful sunrise, well I woke up that early, hot coffee and cereal and off we went wake boarding and tubing all day long. We had great food. Deli sandwiches and a cold beverage never tasted so good in the warmth of the day.
Between submarine diving by the boys, elbow skiing, and tube wars... the day couldn't get any better. I found myself truly in love with camping and the events of the day. Steak Fajitas for dinner and some smores were the perfect beginning for star gazing that night. Sunday morning came so fast. We enjoyed the water once again and then packed up and came home.

JOHN MAYOR

I went to the John Mayor concert in Wheatland. it was so fun. I went with nick and Kate and i had a blast. I never knew that John was so talented on the guitar. He had skills. We had lawn seats because it was a chill concert, even though we were offered seats that were closer to the stage. The Wheatland amphitheater was sweet. I am trying to attend a concert every year and so far I have accomplished that these past few years. Pictures are necessary and will come soon.

Summer!

So At the beginning of the summer I went on an amazing study abroad trip. i cant believe its already been two months since i got back, doesn't seem possible. I feel in love with Italian culture and all that it entails. I miss the cappuccino in the morning when I walked down the street to the local cafe and got to converse in another language. When I came home, reality was like a brick wall. But I knew that God would be right there like he was all the way across the world. Thats crazy to me. I have been on this spiritual high these past few months and I cant wait to see what up next. I know that God has amazing things planned and I am content with my life, where it is right now. WOrking at the Perk and living on my own has shaped a different Brittney! I feel like i have been challenged with loneliness, contentment, self image and trusting in Him. I have found out that i really enjoy learning more about myself and the things that I like to do that i never knew before. I am very interested in reconstruction of furniture whether it be new and altering it or on the curb and needing some loving. I have done a few projects and I will post them soon.
