We LOVE you Dad!

Father's Day Weekend has been so much fun this year! Festivities all weekend long... I had the opportunity to spend an evening with not only my parents but my aunt, uncle and cousins. We had a delicous meal at Houstons the fish was wonderful and although I am not a big artichoke dip fan the dip was very yummy. We all cleared our plates as well as downed the two free apitizers they delivered to our table (the wait was riduculous!) The restaurant has great food I recomend it as well as their sister restaurant Bandera (the corn bread is so so so yummy, try it out). Well, basically I just love love love food and can not get enough of it! As Katie says I have an eating disorder where I eat EVERYTHING! Thanks mom and dad for the great genes. It was unfortunate that Tim was not around to spend time with my fam, we just love being with them. My dad has given us so much advice about life, love and children. We are both anxious to get back to OC to be close to our families once again. As we were leaving the restaurant my dad pointed out this remodeled car, he actually used to have a car very similar to this... so I had to get a photo. My father is a car enthuist and my adorable hubby is following in his footsteps. I sure do love the men in my life. Happy Father's Day dad.

Babes at the Beach

Another great couple of days at the beach. Since returning for the summer it has been my little tradition to spend every Friday and Saturday at Three Arch with the girls. On Fridays usually it is just Kisa and I and occasionally we are privelaged to be accompanied by some of our other girlfriends. Today Kel joined us from HB (she is still as skinny as ever but would not allow us to take photos). Of course we had a great time talking about Kisa's single - kinda dating life and Kel's wedding plans (her wedding is less than one month away!!) On Saturdays Nic comes down from CDM and we laugh over all the funny stories from her friday nights out on the town! Kelly finally made it down to hang out on Saturday, she usually is still in bed when Nic and I are hanging out. When I'm with the girls it seems we never have a dull moment and we always have something to talk about. I am having such a wonderful time being in the same county as all my girlfriends. I have missed them all tremendoulsy while being away. I really do love all my great friends!

What a night...

So, I just returned home from a lovely dinner with Nic. We dinned at our past - time favorite casual eatery in Laguna, Coyote Grill. While enjoying our delicious meal complete with a favorite desert of mine we took in the Sunset and giggled over our "girl talk" and chit chatted about homes while perusing The Dream magazine filled with multi million dollar homes in South OC; I found the house that fits our budget it's only 19,000,000 and is complete with a car musuem (both our dad's will LOVE it and of course Tim will fill the museam with all his favorite sports cars)!
Nic's a busy girl and had be on her merry way, I headed home (well I'm house sitting) to find a not so fun surprise. The freezer broke! Are you a fan of raw meat and chicken juice, melted ben n jerrys, moooshy peas, etc? Well we all know I LOVE food, but this was udderly repulsive. Thank goodness for Tessa! Together we emptied the entire contents of the freezer into 4 large trash bags, yes I said 4! They were incredibly heavy and we are sure the neighbors are going to be questioning us come Sunday when they cannot figure out why the smell of blood and raw flesh is permeating the neighborhood in this warm weather. The trash cans were so full they do not close all the way... uh ohh stay away from Three Arch till next week!
All in all it was another fun day in Laguna.

Lovely Lilac

Mom and I went for a little shopping trip to Crate N Barrel, They are having a SALE! I picked up some really cute stuff which will look great in our future home. I can not seem to decide which purchase is my favorite?? The lilac cake stand or the lilac flower bowls... both so cute and they will go fabulous with my shabby mis-matched pastel collection of plates, bowls, and cake stands. I am anxious for the day we have our own little shack decorated by none other than ME! I had eyed these frames previously and what do you know? They were on sale today! I love a good bargain. I also found some great glass vases which look classic yet beachy. Best of all I used Gift Cards from our reception!

Love of My Life!

Timmy and I often have the opportunity to I Chat. Technology is AMAZING! Here is my very handsome hubby on the I Chat. And here I am emailing him from my new cell. We get to talk everyday even though he is half way around the globe. I love you bu buu. xoxox

Another Beautiful Day in Three Arch. . .

I just can not seem to get enough of the beach these days! I snapped a quick photo while heading down to La Playa while speaking with Timmy on the phone (he's in Espana for a while). I feel so fortunate to be so close to the ocean and take in all the beauty that surounds the ocean.

Rendevoux with an old friend

So I had the opportunity to meet up with a friend I have not seen in over a year. Emily and I met a few yeargs ago when I lived with the Nicoll's, she wasn't a big fan of me when she first met me but over time we got along great! She is a cute girl with a lot of ambition and goals, I admire her for all that she has done thus far. We have kept in contact over the years and finally met up this week. Emily brought her daughter Kayla (who is so adorable) and met me at PF Changs, we enjoyed a yummy bit to eat while we chit chatted for a couple hours and walked around the mall (dont worry honey I didnt spend too much $). P.S. Boys she's SINGLE!
