Happy Birthday Steve!

Josh and I were lucky enough to be invited to one of our favorite places to celebrate on of our favorite person's Birthday.  Here goes the family tree, Steve is Josh's cousin Elissa's Fiance (that wasn't as bad as I thought) 

Anyways....

For Steve's birthday we went to Dodger Stadium to spend some time in the sun and watch baseball.  This was also Miss. K's first baseball game, so it made it that much more fun.  We ate Dodger dogs, drank some beer, got a little tan, and watched an amazing game. Dodgers were down 3-2, bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, tying run on 2nd, winning run on 1st. Tony Gwynn Jr. hits a single to right....first one scores and here comes the winning run!

Exciting right?! Ok you may not be a Dodger fan or care, but all in all we had a great time and looking forward to our next game.

Congratulations Lauren & Dustin

We were lucky enough to witness one of my favorite people get married in a gorgeous backyard ceremony.  Lauren and I met in Dental Hygiene school and have been co-workers for the last year and a half. Lauren and Dustin got married in her neighbors backyard that looked like it could have been in a Better Homes & Gardens magazine.  Their reception was held at Dustin's parents house, Mendenhall Museum.  The best part was the actual spinning of the 76 ball once it was all lit up at night, except the fact I forgot to take a pictures. Their wedding was fantastic, a gorgeous day, a romantic ceremony, and an amazing party.  Congratulations Lauren, I wish nothing but the best for you and Dustin!

Thank you Living Spaces

Josh got an email from Living Spaces (his favorite furniture store) about the 4th of July sale they were having.  Needless to say we purchased new living room furniture because in the package we got the: Sofa, love seat, coffee table, 2 end tables, 52" flatscreen TV, and DVD player that is 3D.  I am about 98% positive he was so anxious on this purchase was because of of TV and DVD player.  At least the downstairs of the house is almost complete...now we just need to paint....Oh, and I forgot, we had to inspect and put the furniture together at the store at 8:45pm and they were closing at 9 pm.

Mama Mia

I got a surprise on Tuesday at work with my boss asking me what I was doing on Wednesday night.  I thought it was a trick question, so I just said work.  He proceeded to tell me that there was an extra ticket to go with Kristin and Megan to see the play Mama Mia.  I had no idea what I was getting into because the only knowledge I had of Mama Mia was the movie trailer and the signs in Las Vegas.

To my surprise, I really enjoyed it.  The music was fantastic (not an ABBA fan) and all the actors and actresses were amazing.  I am hoping to attend more plays in the future.

My first celebrity crush...Mike Piazza...

All of us have one...I have a few actually.  But one man has been my favorite for years, Mike Piazza. I love him so much I had his poster hanging on my ceiling above my bed (creepy I know) but I am a huge fan!  I first became aware of Mike when he was a catcher for the Dodgers.  Not only is he GORGEOUS, but an excellent ball player.

I got the chance to see him in person at the CDA this weekend.  I was so in awe to see him standing 4 feet from me I didn't know what to do and I couldn't ask Mike Piazza for a picture.  A huge thank you to my friend Iris she asked Mike to give us a smile and he did!  If I had the $800.00 to purchase product and get to take a picture with him I would have, but him saying hello and this picture was huge for me.

Yes, this is now my background on my phone!

Happy Mother's Day

My Mommy is my rock, my best friend and partner in crime.  There isn't a day that I don't talk to my Mommy at least 3 times throughout the day and sometimes up to 10 (especially if I'm grocery shopping or cooking).  The conversations range from making sure I know the morning traffic report for my drive to work, how my evening was, or other random moments.  I would not be the person I am today without her.

For Mother's Day we spent the day at Angels Stadium.  We had so much fun from walking the stadium, enjoying the game, and being able to witness Mike Scioscia's 1,000th win as a Team Manager for the Angels. Oh and the best part....our awesome floppy hats!
