Senses + Weekend Photos

{Sight} We saw The Dark Knight Rises on Friday night. I wasn't going into it with high expectations because I didn't think any villan could be as good as the Joker. We were so impressed with The Dark Knight we saw it in theaters at least four or five times. Not to mention we named our puppy after him. I was absolutely blown away by the movie! Honestly, I can't wait to see it again. If there is anyone that is on the fence about it: see it :)

{Scent} Victoria Secret Angel always reminds me of our honeymoon. I wore this everyday and every time I put it on it reminds me of Versailles, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower... and all the other amazing things we saw on that adventure. I love when there is a specific scent that is dedicated to a certain time or experience. I'm the same way with music as well. I usually bring a new album with me when going on a new adventure so it will symbolize that moment.

{Sound} Jose Gonzalez "Heartbeats". It seemed like every year of high school I had a different group of friends. My senior year I spent time with people that really helped me grow as an individual. We used to talk about how things made us feel infinite. Well, while Jason and I were getting our daily coffee and playing cards, this song came on. It filled the coffee shop and a sense of relaxation came over everyone. For me, it made me feel infinite.

{Taste} This is what I put in my morning latte. I love Truvia, and a little goes a long way! It's delicious and so much better for you than sugar.

{Touch} I really love Ashtanga Yoga. I love all yoga, but this one I'm particularly into. Sometimes I just do a couple moves here and there, and it's been fun making up my own structured sequence.

{Weekend Photographs}

This is Farrah, named after Farrah Fawcett. She's not supposed to be on the couch, but how am I supposed to say "no" to this face? She's the cutest.

Saw this and thought it was fitting. I'm in a Batman phase, and I'm thinking next weekend is dedicated to watching the first two movies from The Dark Knight Trilogy, and then seeing the new one again. I know some people aren't like this, but when I am into something I can watch, listen to, or read the same thing over and over again.

One day I have to own this! This brings back great memories of watching this show with my dad. It was so funny, and I'm sure I will still get a kick out of it. I'm still a kid at heart.

My friend Brian and his girlfriend stayed with us this weekend. Going to Zia Records is one of the first things we did. I'm always looking for those last few Beatles records to complete our collection. We had a lot of fun with them. We watched The Sandlot, Independence Day, and played a ton of games, including: Jumanji, Urban Myth, Spoons, and a bunch of other card games.

"Hello."

We went to IKEA just to walk around and meander about. When we turned the corner we thought we spotted R2D2!

We were wrong. 

He first sat on it because it looked like a tiny chair. But it turns out that it fit him perfectly. He looks so proper!

I used to have one of these when I was taking a lot of art classes. My mom likes to get rid of things if they aren't being used, and I think this was one of the things that I accidentally left in the closet of my old bedroom. We picked up another one for me at IKEA. I can't wait to start sketching again!

This is the best smelling candle! The scent of an apple is so refreshing. The "warning" pictures on the side of all their candles are so funny. It is smart for them to do that though, because pictures will be the same in every language.

I could not be more thankful for the weather. We spotted a rainbow! We live a couple miles from the Sky Harbor Airport, so we see lots of airplanes from our window, just like that one there.

Farrah and the reflection of the rainbow. Well, maybe the rainbow is actually inside our place ;)

How was your weekend? Do you do anything especially fun or exciting? I'd love to hear about it!
