ENJOYING US....

Preston's 26th Birthday!!!!!!!!

2010-02-01T12:37:00.000-08:00

Preston woke up at 5:oo a.m. to go work out......his new found love. Then came home to a delicious breakfast and then decided to take a nap with his favorite.....no not me............Sophi. I took advantage of the opportunity and got some studying done before we started our day.

These two are inseparable. I bought Preston a card and Sophi begged me to let her sign it. She loves her daddy very much.

Almost Finished......

So, I found these pillows at TjMaxx the other day and thought that this is exactly what our bedroom needs and at only $40.00, who could pass them up. I think the only thing left to do in the bedroom is some picture frames on the wall next to the window and maybe sheer curtains. I was also thinking of replacing our end table lamps.....I think they need to be bigger. Let me know what you think!

I'm trying to make the theme of the bedroom some what nautical but not over doing it. I thought by putting the anchor up would give it that feel. I might also add some stripped pillows. Hmmmmm.......

Out on the Town...

Whitney and Garrett took us to see the Christmas lights at the Temple in La Jolla.
If only I could go inside....it looks so pretty

Preston thought Daisy would make the perfect Christmas ornament....she didn't

Decorating the tree

This was the fist time Preston and I got to decorate our house. We had so much fun. It was definitely a Griswald Family experience. I can't wait to do it again next year!!!

It was so easy....

2010-01-02T20:32:00.000-08:00

WaaLa!!! Now time to work on the rest of the room...huh!

We had to call in the muscles.....P!!!!!

With the help from my mom, we built a new headboard for the master bedroom. It took us about an hour and was very easy and fun. For only $150, it makes our bedroom look so romantic.

Fall 2009....Sorry it took so long!!

I love decorating the house for the holidays. It looks so plain otherwise.

SCARY!!!

This was the wreath I made for the front door. This was my first homemade project I've done in a long time.....I was so proud. Michael's craft store is my new best friend!

MY 23rd. BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-10-21T21:49:00.000-07:00

After all the snorkeling, It was time to eat...Mexican of course.
Preston down under

Forrest and I about to go under...

The seals sang Happy Birthday!!

The La Jolla Coves

Typical! Brian telling Forrest what to do, and Forrest doing the exact opposite.

Preston arranged for him and I to go snorkling for my birthday, he invited my two brothers and my mom....she chickened out at the last minute. To be honest, I did'nt think I would go through with it either, but once I got there I was calm, cool and collected.

2009-10-21T21:47:00.000-07:00

We had a blast!!!!

My First Concert Ever!!!!

2009-09-08T16:10:00.000-07:00

In August, My friend Whitney and I went and saw No Doubt. It was my very first concert....Yes, Im 22 and never been to a concert. Whitney's been to several but this was her first time seeing No Doubt in concert. I had a blast and of course bought the cutiest T-shirt.

The Happiest Place on Earth

In July, my mom, Forrest, Preston and I all went to disneyland to Celebrate Forrest entering High School. He is growing up so fast. I miss my little cowboy!!

The Beginning of Summer 2009

2009-09-08T15:43:00.000-07:00

The family and I all went camping in San Clemente for the weekend. It was a weekend of roasting marsh mellows, playing catch, soaking under the sun, playing games on beach, and sleeping under the stars.

We Spent the Day in La Jolla

2009-09-08T15:30:00.000-07:00

Us and a few of our friends went down to La Jolla to hang out, play catch with the football and then grab a bite to eat. We also visited with the seals, there were soooo many. It was such a beautiful day and highly relaxing.

2009-09-08T15:22:00.001-07:00

I was scared to death!!!!!! But Preston promised if I made it to the top he would take me out to lunch, so...of course I made sure I got my free lunch.

Then......

2009-09-08T15:16:00.000-07:00

Preston and our friend Emily discovered a new hobby....ROCK CLIMBING and he was nice enough to let me tag a long.

The run down for 2009 up until this point....September 8, 2009

The beginning of this year was a little rough but as the summer crept up it got a lot better and has continued to be amazing. First of all, I landed an rewarding job at Vista Knoll Specialized Care, as skilled nursing facility(SNF) as one of their Admissions Coordinator's. This is a facility mainly for the elderly who have had a major surgery or incident and need either physical, occupation, or speech therapy before returning home. We also have a designated unit for Alzheimer's/dementia patients as well as NBU patients......for those of you who don't know what a SNF was. I really enjoy what I do and by having this job, it has helped me realize what I want to do for a living.

My first blog!!!
