California

Greetings!!!
Because of the stress with closing on our house Brian and I decided it would be a great idea to get away and to not worry about a thing. Brian'a brother Mike came along with us...kind of as a going away present before he leaves on his mission(He is leaving to Peru in September).

California. is. awesome.

The vacation was brilliant, and I didn't think about our home once!
Seriously though we have been trying to close on our house for a month now!! geez!



We stayed at the Marriott in downtown San Diego, it used to be a bank back in the day!




The hotel was historical and kind of reminded me of The Shining. ekkk!




It was awesome though and downtown had crazy people and bums everywhere. Lol
The following day we all went to Carlsbad beach, everything there is very nice and although the weather was freezing and windy, we had a blast.






If you hadn't noticed before, in the pictures above we are all sporting ASU swimming suits and shirts, it definitely wasn't planned. :)


BEFORE THE TRIP.


AFTER THE TRIP. AWWW.

Sammy whammy

My sister and one of the people I'm closest to in the world is graduating this week.

Wow the memories we have had.
We refused to have our own rooms because we loved having a bedroom together. Talking all hours of the night about boys and laughing about silly things, quoting movies,singing, discussing the books we read. Those were the good ol' days.

Now Samantha is growing up and going to do bigger and better things.

I am so proud of you Samantha for not making mistakes in high school like I did. For never giving up on your goals. For pursuing your acting career and being the hilarious and awesome person that you are. I am so excited to see the plays and movies you are in in the future. I hope I can be your date to the Oscars when you get Best Actress. I hope we can always continue to be there for each other through thick and thin. I love you so much. Have a wonderful week best friend. :)



P.S. These are the pictures I took for her senior pictures. I loved how well they turned out.

its gonna be LEGEND...wait for it...

...DARY!!!
Oh the Barnacles!!
Yes that's right I am blogging about the most AWESOME show ever. what up! Brian and I are still waiting to move into our house and I have found myself bored at home waiting for Brian to come home from work...so what do I watch??



I am addicted to How I Met Your Mother. As I blog, I watch. Brian and I started watching the show while we were dating, we have all the seasons on DVD and watch them every monday...but I cant seem to get enough.

They are on their fifth season and I am itching to know...Ted, when are you going to meet your wife already?!?!? geez.

Barney and Robin: You BOTH need to get over yourselves and get back together. you are perfect for each other!!! UGHHHH! Unfortunately I thought Ted and Robin would end up together but clearly that was said to never happen.


"If a cockroach and a mouse can find love in this crazy world, then so can I!" - Ted


So If I had a say in what would happen the final season (hopefully next year because I am going insane not knowing) I would have:

ONE...Ted would meet his future wife and she would not be a snob or have crazy eyes (they all do).

Two...Robin would break up with the news anchor so She and Barney would be together, happily ever after.

AND after being married for a few years Lily and Marshall would find out they are having a baby.

so what do you think?

If you haven't seen How I Met Your Mother go out and rent season one...watch it all the way through because its gonna be...
