So this summer has had it’s share of pretty fun moments. Some boring as well, but I didn’t document any of the boring stuff so here is a post that I’ve documented of all the FUN!

Jimmy and I at a family friend’s place

Enjoyed a pool party with family and friends. And also, my sis-in-love Jax and her bf BJ came for a visit from Australia for a total of 6 days. Spending time with them was so lovely and parting was emotional since we don’t know when we’ll see them again, but all in all, such a blast.

dinner party with a bunch of families and friends

amazingly yummy desserts,

So now that Summer is slowing down and coming to an end, my hours at work are picking up. The end of summer will probably bring lots of changes for Jimmy and I. We are still patiently waiting, and at times even feeling a little antsy, but trying to make the most of it and cherishing our time, with each other and with family. We’ve been going on dates and hanging out with our friends often and it’s been so much fun! Jimmy’s 21st birthday is coming up in about a week and we will probably go out to dinner and order his first glass of wine

I just finished answering questions for another blog interview so I will be posting about that later. Blog interviews are way too much fun! Take care friends

nail polishes!

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

These nail polishes were $1 each at the farmer’s market in Redlands. A good deal, if I do say so myself. I got them last Thursday and I’m so excited about them. So excited, in fact, that I actually had a dream someone was trying to steal my new nail polish collection from me. This is no lie. All in all I have a total of about 10 nail polish colors. But I want more, of course! It’s an addiction. It’s more of a new addiction for me, my sisters got me into it. I’m a huge fan of OPI nail polish and have 4 of my own (two of them donated to me from Jax. Thanks Jax!) but I’m not so much a fan of the price. But at least I know where to go when I want super affordable (and good quality from what I can tell so far) nail polishes!

I’ve done a test run on all the colors but I still currently have the baby blue on. No chipping so far! that baby blue, the lavender and the teal color all go on really nicely and don’t need a second or third coat. The peach however, goes on a little sheer and will probably need more coats.

Anyway things have been pretty good! Jacky and BJ came for a visit for a few days and we enjoyed having them around again. They’ll be back in August for two days and then flying back to Australia. Bj’s parents also came and visited and we all had a wonderful dinner party. It was really nice to meet his family! I’ve heard so many good things about them and they are all definitely true. I took lots of pictures from this past week with them here so I’ll be posting them by the end of the week.

Jimmy and I are still patiently waiting for a phone call from his recruiter for a date to leave for basic training. We were told to anticipate him leaving in August so it could be any time now. So anxious to hear back! He’s officially sworn in though, so it’s only a matter of when now, which is such a relief. Jimmy has been wanting this for so long and I’m so proud of him! I’ll be posting updates on that as we hear more.

I just finished answering questions for my first blog interview! I really enjoyed it and although the questions are answered and ready, I won’t post it until it’s posted on her blog so keep an eye out for that!

I will leave you all with my new favorite and most recent picture of Jimmy and I. We took my best friend Taryne to Disneyland for her birthday!

Until next time!

puppy overload.

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Jimmy and I recently drove to Whittier because he was asked to participate at a Worship service at our church, so while he was practicing, I met up with two of my closest friends Krystal and Taryne and hung out with them and their pups! And also met Tar’s new puppy Charlie, for the first time.

I was really happy, as you can see.

Charlie with his mom:

And Gigi with her mom:

It was so cute to see them interact and flirt/play. Gigi is fully grown and Charlie is still a puppy so she would get annoyed at how crazy and all over the place he was, but as soon as he stopped chasing her around, she would try to get his attention on her again! I think I see the beginning of a blossoming friendship…or maybe more.

Can’t wait till Jimmy and I get our first pup!

home made pizza à la jax.

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Within days of my sister Jacky’s arrival home from Australia, she made Jimmy, me, and our friend Zack home made pizzas for dinner. She made some again a few nights ago which reminded me to post these. Lets just say calling them tasty would be an understatement….enjoy.

artichoke and feta!

More posts coming soon! I am in lazy mode and haven’t touched my camera in a week or so, which is a big deal for me.
