Love is LOVEly... Jeremy and Camille

We had the opportunity to attend Jeremy and Camille's reception last night. The two of them were glowing all night! The event was low key but beautiful at the same time. We enjoyed seeing many faces we have not seen in what seems like a very long time but has only actually been about 4 years. Many of the guys we saw used to hang out with "our group" and had no idea we were married. And oddly enough they were not surprised. Most the photos are on Tim's camera but here are a few photos from my cheapo camera. (I am hoping to get a new camera very very soon!!!)

My Love Returns

Timmy arrived back safely from Espana. I am beyond thrilled to be with him once again! We picked up right where we left off and it feels like he was never even gone. Our days have been long but fun filled; spending time with family, friends, eating, surfing and trying to relax in the wheee hours of the night. Im exhausted so this post is short...

My only friend from Utah...

Jo came for a short visit and we have been busy. One of the many things I love about Jo is she can keep up with me when it comes to shopping! And boy did we shop; H&M, Urban, Zara, Forever 21, Nordi's, Victoria's, Thirft stores, Antique stores, random shoe stores and the best part was every store we stopped into was having a SALE! Everday was packed with fun, shopping, eating and lots of talking and laughter.

Happy Birthday MOM!

My mom has been the best role model as well as inspiration to me. The compassion, love, selflessness, confidence and creativity of my mom have shaped me into the person who I am today. I love my mom and look forward to the day I am mom ( I just hope I can be half as great of a mom as my mom is). Mom and I had an enjoyable day filled with shopping and eating!
I made this little creation for mom's garden filled with flowers, herbs and a veggie. She loved it! And it looks really cute in the yard.

Sprinkles Cupcakes Taste Test

It's no secret I absolutely LOVE to eat! I enjoy eating a little too much, more than the average girl. And for some reason I must eat at least two sweets a day. Who said cake is only for dessert? Sometimes I eat ice cream or my favorite home made chocolate cake for breakfast followed by a yummy glass of chocolate milk. I have heard so much buzz about these Sprinkles cupcakes and I did not understand what the hype was all about... And now that I have had one (well not just 1 but 4 to be honest and yes I ate them all in one sitting) I still do not know what all the hype is all about. Check out their website www.sprinklescupcakes.com
I sampled chai, red velvet, strawberry and well I can not remember the 4th flavor (I guess it wasn't too great if I can not recall it). The flavors with cream cheese frosting tasted creamyier than the buttercream frosting which is super sweet. Don't get me wrong, each flavor was good and I would eat them again but, I still think my chocolate cupcakes are more moist, soft and delicious. If you would ever like to try my cupcakes come on over.

Family Fun

The Macdonald's visited for a short while.... I had so much fun with Ali and Maleana. Maleana is now like a little person, it's unbelievable how inteligent she is. She counted up to 11 and sang me the ABC's, we played, ate, sang and collected seashells on the beach. We even made friends with Larry, the pet duck!
Maleana as a very cute personality. As you can see she is adorable and check how fashionable she is already! I should have known from the begining that she would be such a fashionista, since her first pair of denim was paper denim, which she got at oh about 1 day old.
Mason celebrated is birthday down here in Laguna. We had a BBQ at the bay! Drena cooked up a delicious meal; ribs, chicken, sausage, and so many yummy sides! We enjoyed a very tasty sweet treat, chocolate cake by Sandy. We even roasted marshmelows, thanks to Mason Lauren and I enjoyed the most perfectly roasted marshmelow.
The visit was short but packed with good times. We love you Mason, Ali and Maleana.

House Hunting

Nic and I enjoyed a very long day of house hunting. I must first say, as I am driving thru Dana Point to meet up with her, I am baffled and frightened by what I see. . . Too many police on motorcycles and in cars intermixed with an odd looking bus van type automoble amoung a few large blacked out subberbans windows down with men in suits holding guns driving thru Dana Point! Now these were not little hand guns but large automatice weapons! To say the least I was slightly scared as I sat at the corner in my Audi watching stare as they drove by ready to shoot at any second, so I get on the phone and start calling my sis and friends and of course no answers (why have cell phones if we do not answer them?). It was not until yesterday that I found out what all the hoopla was about, the President of Vietnam was in Laguna and apparently there was a little uproar over the whole situation. Any way, Nic found an adorable house and at the same time we found a date for Kelly! We continued to drive around one particular area about 4 times scopping out all the homes on the market. Apparently the guy in the really cute house saw us and was wondering why we continued to pass his residence. Needless to say, when he realized we were two hotties he had to chat with us. We of course let him know we were taken, but we have a friend for him - Kelly. So if you wonder why there is a photo of a random guy it's Manny, kell's future date. We enjoyed our day checking out many homes in hopes thats soon enough we will both have homes of our own.
