Happy Birthday Wes!!

On September 22nd Wes turned 25! We had a family party with his family on Saturday and another family party with my family on Sunday. At his parents house we had moose tacos with homemade cheesecake made by his sister, Katie. It was amazing! Then when we went to my parents house we had steak and potatoes as well as an icecream cake that I made for him. Ethan helped him open his presents because he was getting ready for his own birthday which was on the 26th! He had a great birthday and can't wait for more to come!

The Tonight Show and The Dodger Game

On Thursday, July 31st we had that opportunity to go to the taping of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Wes's friend Ricky was able to get us tickets to and so I took off work and we went down there with some of Wes's friends. It ended up that we got to sit in the front row and so we were up close and personal. Rosie Perez was on and the creator of Family Guy so no one too famous but it was still really fun. Apparently July was hotdog month so the audience was given free hotdogs, not that we needed anymore that day. After the taping we went to the Dodger game because it was Mormon night. Since we went with all boys we bought tickets for the all you can eat pavilion. We could eat all the Dodger dogs, nachos, peanuts, and popcorn that we wanted. I had my fill after round one but all the boys definetly ate more than their tickets cost. The Dodgers ended up losing but it really didn't matter. We had a great time regardless even with the stomach aches that came after!

Round OneRound Two....and it didn't stop here

4th of July

This 4th of July was great. I was suppose to work but the Wed before I had eye surgery. I got Lasik surgery so I can now see without any contacts or glasses. It is probably the best thing in the world and I am forever indebted to my parents for helping me with it. I could see as soon as the surgery was over and it only lasted like a min. Anyway, back to the 4th. I was suppose to work but since I had surgery, I had to recuperate. While I was doing that, Wes and I went down to Sunland to watch the parade. When I was little, I loved it but now I realized that I didn't know
any better. We had fun just making fun of it. There were a few cool parts to it like the motorcycle cops and the big trucks. We met up with some friends and went swimming afterward. Then we went back up to Valencia for more fun at the Beckstroms for a BBQ and more swimming. We watched the fireworks at Stevenson Ranch park and had a great time. Thank goodness I didn't have to work!

Disneyland!

Our one year anniversary was on May 5th and I have been begging Wes to take me to Disneyland since we started dating. I got him to agree to go for our anniversary so on Tuesday, May 6th we actually went. I have a season pass and my Dad was able to get a discounted ticket for Wes so there was no excuses. We woke up really early and drove down there but I guess I read the internet wrong because instead of the park opening at 8 it opened at 10 so we were over an hour early. Thankfully they opened the park early. We started over in California Adventure because Wes has never been there and rode all the rides in just over an hour. There was no one there and we just walked on everything. The longest we waited was just 20 min so it was a great day. We had so much fun and it was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. I can't wait for many more years to come, it has been great so far!

New Job!

I know that I haven't posted anything in a while and that is because I started a new job at Princess Cruises in March. I have been super busy and trying to juggle things. I started as a reservation agent and now modify and make new bookings. It's great and I survived the month training and am now out on my own. I talk to people all day discussing fun vacations that they are going to be taking...what could be better! I just try to invision myself going on all the fun cruises that I talk about all day! Since I am now working full time, I seem to have less time for other things and this blog has taken a backseat. Wes is still in school and I can't wait for this semester to be over. All in all things are going great. I celebrated my 24th birthday and amazingly it fell on my day off. I got to spend it with family and it was absolutely perfect. I can't believe that I'm all grown up and have a big girl job!

Carpenteria

Over President's Day weekend the whole family went to Carpenteria, CA for the weekend. My mom had reserved the spot so we decided to jump in the car and take advantage of the nice Southern California weather. It is always colder at the beach than at home but it was sunny most of the time and warm enough for only a light jacket. It was perfect weather for February. The twins are getting older and Jessica thought that it would be fun to take them up there was well. She didn't stay the night but it is close enough to come up for the day. The babies got their first beach trip and it was pretty fun. Can't wait for the summer!

Valentine's Day

This was our first Valentine's Day married so I wanted to make it as special as I could. I'm really not that into this holiday but I thought it would be nice. We both wanted to stay in because it would be so crowed everywhere. I made dinner and had a romantic candelit dinner. We had salmon with a pineapple salsa, rice and my favorite, GREEN BEANS! Wes brought me home some flowers and I gave him some See's candy. He also brought me home Golden Spoon. I was in heaven! We finished off the night with some crepes and then watched Lady and the Tramp. It could not have been a better Valentine's Day.
