Miss Fashion...

Today I had the pleasure of spending time with a dear friend, Linda. Linda and I met eons ago at Saddleback while taking Fashion courses. We became friends thru working on window displays together. It is because of Linda that I had so many fun jobs in the surf industry! She took me under her wing and coached me all along the way, I learned a tremendous amount from her and I have always been gratefull for her friendship. Linda always brings happiness to my life, she has the amazing ability to talk to anyone and everyone, and she is soooo much fun! She has a great sense of style and always has the cutest outfits from head to toe! One of our favorite past times is shopping together before every tradeshow. We would go to South Coast and pick out outfits for each other, we had no choice, we of course had to look super cute at ASR!

Another fun filled day!

Not too many people read our blog and for those of you who do I bet you are tired of seeing photos of what we do everyday... I hope you guys are not getting too bored.
I feel so fortunate that Tim works up the hill from our house, so we often get together for lunch. I love seeing him all thru - out the day! I miss him when we are apart all day long. We enjoyed lunch at the new El Ranchito in Laguna with Tim's dad. For those of you who enjoy eating as much as I do I recommend this joint... the chips n salsa is delicious and the baja bowl and tostado's are yummy! The outside patio is really quant and cozy.
We ended the day with a family BBQ at my parents. It was a big feast with a ton of yummy food. Tim did an excellent job in the grill and as alaways my mom served up a lot of sides and desert which everyone enjoyed. Ben and Cara joined us, they are just like family!

Sisterly LOVE

My life is great! Everyday is just fun, fun, fun and more fun. One of the best things about being home is spending time with my sister. We spent the day together shopping for Timmy, eating a yummy lunch of pizza n salad at Selma's, laying out and cooling off with golden spoon. I always seem to meet interesting people when laying out and today was no different. After hearing a very touching but depressing story while laying out, I was once again reminded of how absolutly wonderful my life is.
Katri got pooped on by a crow today! That's what we get for laying out at the pool. This never happens when we go to the beach. According to Mellisa being pooped on is good luck! I love you Katri.

Izzy's Christening

Neil and Lisa's daughter was Baptized today. We enjoyed being there with my friends from high school and their spouses and children. Today not all the girls were able to make it (sad, it seems that the older we get the harder it is to find time for us to be in the same place at the same time). I feel so fortunate to be home for the summer, we have missed out on so many events while being in Utah. So today was a special day for me to be able to witness a stepping stone in Izzy's life while being the company of some of my greatest friends. I love them each so much and it is a special treat to watch Lisa, Kate and Chrissy with their sweet children. I sure am going to miss all the girls when I leave very soon. Moving back to the OC will be the happiest day of 2008 for me. Lisa's family put on a lovely Italian party and we had a fabulous day!

Family Love

Each summer my cousin Holly comes for a visit from San Fran and all us girls go to the ArtAFair and Sawdust in Laguna. (See website for discount http://www.sawdustartfestival.org and http://www.art-a-fair.com) This year Timmy joined us! All the adults found some great artwork and us youngster enjoyed checking out the photography and jewlery. We ran into Mike - a blast from the past - he is doing some amazing art work! Our favorites are the skateboards, especially the series he designed for Toy Machine, my fav is the butterfly board. Check out his website mikekershnar.com. We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Javiers, we recommend the lobster enchiladas, everyone cleared their plates! So sad Javiers will be leaving Laguna very shortly, they are opening in Newport Coast and Cabo!

Friends

I feel so fortunate to have such great friends. Each week I get to spend time with my friends (and sis) doing different activities and going on different outings. The other day I met up with Summer and Maryam for some good eats and treats then we headed over to Talega where my sister joined us and we toured some model homes. I had a lot of fun with the girls and their children. And I am always amazed at how well behaved all my friends children are!
We were surprised by a very fast visit with Kirk and Chelsea! We do not get to see them enough and everytime we do we all wish we lived in the same county. Selma's was delicious! I recomend the WARM BROWNIE TOPPED WITH ICE CREAM it was the perfecting ending to a fulfilling dinner. And the prices were amazing! Selma's is located on del mar in sc. We look forward to the day we can travel with Kirk and Chelsea.
