I'm Going Inactive

......from bloging, that is. I've become a horrible blogger due to the fact that I currently have no life outside of work. It was nice to have a break from subbing over Christmas, however, I spent my "break" working Day Camp at the Rec. Dept. so basically, I'm feeling a little worn out! Nevertheless, I will keep in mind that crazy work is better than no work.

Bryce is good too. Still working at State Farm, but he currently has his hooks in a few other employment opportunities, so we'll see where that leads. He's also LOVING coaching basketball at the Rec. It's so fun to see him in that element, teaching kids about is favorite game. You would die if you saw the way his face lights up when his player makes a shot.... so cute. I, myself am not a HUGE B-Ball fan (I actually despise it) but my team is doing great to, they're awesome kids.

As for the holidays, they were wonderful! We absolutely LOVE that our families live in the same area and we can spend the holidays with both. Thanksgiving was great, Christmas was amazing and New Years was a blast. Just simple, wonderful time with friends and family is how we like to spend this time or year. As I often do, I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking...

We went to the Belmont Shore Christmas Parade with these guys...

Rode in a duffy boat...

Hung out with some old HS friends :) ...

P.S. For your consideration...

Isn't the idea of a Drvie-up ATM to NOT get out of your car?? Just a thought.

Eric and Lisa

Last Saturday, My two WONDERFUL friends Lisa and Eric were sealed in the Newport Beach Temple. I got to be a bridesmaid and enjoyed the day very much. I seriously think Lisa might be the most beautiful bride EVER ....check out the pics if you don't believe me :) I got to know each of them seperately before they started dating... Lisa was one of my first friends when I started going to the singles ward, and when she went on her mission to Hong Kong, I got to know and love Eric. They are so great together... I love it! They're moving to AZ in May, but we are so glad to have them nearby until then! Congrats guys!

Snip Snip...

I've gotten into this habit of growing my hair out...then chopping it off. This has been going on for the better part of 5 years now. As you can see, we're on the "chopping" part of the cycle and I am happy to report that all the gross, processed, and dyed part of my hair is now completely GONE !!! Back to natural, baby :)

Viva MEXICO!!!

Last weekend we were in MEXICO! Ok, I know what you're thinking, what about swine flu? Well at this point, we have a better chance of getting it here than in Mexico, sad but true... Anyways, we had a fabulous time with our amazing friends; Ricky, Shannon, Sean and Jill. We stayed in this wonderful gated community right on the water with a private beach and everything. Bryce and I were the only ones out of the group that had never been, and we loved it! Especially since our friend Ricky is like Mr. Mexico and knows his way around really well. It was a wonderful, relaxing weekend, Thanks guys! And now for the pictures...

Galaxy Game!

Last night we had every intention of going to our ward Halloween party. That is, until we got a text form our friend Jared saying he had FREE ticket to the LA Galaxy game. I had never been to a game, so I thought it would be fun. Little did we know, that the FREE tickets were normally $125 !!! My goodness they were great seats. But that's not all. We also got to tour one of the amazing seats and watch part of the game from there. But the absolute best part on the night was when we got there, we got these wristbands that let us go down on the friend before the game started. We were off to the side and the players were in the middle of the field warming-up then all of a sudden they all come joggin over to where we are and do their sprint sent RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. David Beckham and Landon Donovan were literally close enough to touch!! I was so star struck I probably looked like an idot with my camera on rapid fire mode, but I didn't care. It was amazing! We even got gift bags with a poster, soccer ball, and Chipotle giftcard!Thanks guys for a great night!

Finally found a free moment to blog!

Life is crazy busy right now, but the craziness is divided between work AND play, so that's good. We had another great weekend with wonderful friends whom I am SO grateful for. We carved pumpkins, went to a darling wedding, and celebrated an old woman's birthday all in THREE days. Needless to say we are beyond tired from the fun, but it was so worth it. Here are the pics...

Getting our carving on. This was our first get-together in the new apt. and I was pleasantly surprised that we fit 12 adults semi-comfortbly in our living room.

The finished products!

On Saturday, we woke up early to got here....

And see these two get hitched! We LOVE Kaci and Chris and are so excited for them!

She made a gorgeous bride!

Then, on Sunday it was time to party...well party as much as you can on Sunday. We headed to my mama's house to chow down and laugh with my fam. I also got to spend some B-day time with my dad earlier this week which I also enjoyed :)

The only bad part of the weekend was the whole "turning another year older" thing :( Other than that, I had a fabulous time with amazing people who have helped make me the person I am (good or bad, lol) and encourage me to be better. Love and thanks to all my family and friends, you're the best EVER!
