my morning.

Monday, August 9th, 2010

This is what my morning looked like…


Lemon poppyseed muffin with vanilla chai….

and a very grumpy Jimmy.

The muffin may have been questionable as well. As soon as I finished it, Jimmy walked into our room and our conversation went something like this…
Jimmy: “You didn’t eat one of the lemon poppyseed muffins, did you?”
Me: “…Why?”
Jimmy: “…They have some mold on them.”
Me: (still chewing the last of it) “….Oh.”

Umm, whoops.
However, it tasted fine, and 6 hours later I feel fine….hmmm.

as of lately

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!

date night!

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

i love me some quality alone time with my husband. here are pictures of us being silly on one of our dates. we went to starbucks for a little, then were off to see prince of persia. we were singing and dancing loudly in the car on the way and were feeling pretty hyper and acting like kids. we have so much fun together :)

so jimmy makes faces and i have names for them. this is his “no chin” face, a new one he came up with.

this is his creepy stalker face. he puts his head down and moves his eyes around while breathing heavily. SUPER creepy and weird, but it never fails to crack me up.

the extreme heat over here has prevented me from taking any new outfit photos. perhaps i’ll try to brave it and get some shots this week but we’ll see. i’m kind of a wuss!
