It's November!

Wow! So it has been the most eventful couple of weeks/months! The entire family came to visit and just left this past week. It was such a great time and we took some excellent pictures. It really makes me miss being near home. Once Tim moves out of SD it will be really weird to have no family here.

Our house has finally come together, we just bought a fire screen which is potentially the final missing piece. It is cold and rainy here. Well cold for San Diego, not actually cold. haha

Home in 48 days!!!

My Buns

We are moving in 9 days! Or at least starting to move our stuff over to the new house. I am looking forward to it. Just need to buy a bed frame and a dresser or something. I had the first big thing for my new job over the weekend and I'm not positive I did quite my best. But things get easier and things get better over time, right? RIGHT? I hope so.
I was home last weekend for Benny's baptism. He cried through most of it but it was a nice ceremony and it was such an honor officially becoming his godmother!
It's Monday. Almost Friday!

August!

Today all four of us went snorkeling! It was so fun but also hard. We saw leopard sharks, guitar fish and sting rays! Pretty awesome!

We found a new house and are moving in Sept 1. Here are some pictures!


SO that is exciting! I got a new job as well, coaching sports clinics for children with autism. Which is just about to become really busy in the fall.

Benny's baptism next weekend! And I get to see family!! Can't wait

Need a New Job

Aren't you supposed to love your job? You wake up and you want to go to work?!

Musica + Alma + Sexo

Riley and I went to see the Ricky Martin concert last weekend! We got free tickets and couldn't say no! It was really, really good! I truly enjoyed it! He played lots of classics (Shake Your Bon, Bon, etc.) but also his new ones. It was super dancey and fun! Totally worth going!

Shoo Bee!

I am finally feeling better after about 4 days of feeling like crap. I didn't go out all weekend. I basically just laid in bed and ate nothing. I also got stung by a bee and while I was not really worried about it, it is still red and itchy so that is strange. It has been about a week and a 1/2.

Riley and I are thinking about just hopping in the car this weekend and driving and wherever we end up, we end up! And I am super excited! Roadtrippppp!

Thursday is a weekend tease.

Happy Happy Joy Joy

So happy that today is Friday! Although I did just learn that because of my unfortunate little fender bender, my insurance went up to the mooon and won't be coming down for 3 years! SCREW YOU CALIFORNIA INSURANCE PRICES! I think I'm going to see if other companies will give me a cheaper deal. Gonna go get some quotes!

I think we are going to climb Iron Mountain tomorrow! Woooo!

Starting a serious job search tomorrow! Mmmmm with lots of coffee!
Hope everyone has something fun planned for the weekend!

Cinco De Mayo

Today is Cinco De Mayo! Cannot wait to enjoy a beautiful margarita at the end of the day! I have my longest work day today, yet I still have time to update my blog. So not really that tough! I also just had the most delicious glass of apple juice. It was so refreshing. The weather has been in the 90s for the past few days and today is a little bit cooler. It smells like the perfect summer day out.

Priya just came to visit last week and it was magnificent! I wish that we lived in the same place! We tried a bunch of places that I have never been before and it was totally great!

I watched Black Swan last night. I'm not sure that I totally liked it! I was more confused at the end then done with the movie.

I have been able to accomplish some of my goals from my 110 Things to do List and that is exciting. Perhaps my next entry I will fill you in on what those are! Ha!!

Can't wait to go home in a few months!

Mountains

I climbed a mountain this past week! It was excellent and it felt amazing to reach the top. I love it when exercising is fun and exciting. It makes it that much better!

ANDDDD I love love love love this song!

Keep Your Head Up

Puerto Rico!

We are leaving for Puerto Rico tomorrow! I still have quite a bit to accomplish before our flight. Hopefully I will get everything done!

The past few weeks have been super busy. We had a Bachelor party for my brother and then Jules came to visit for a week. Which was excellent!

Riley and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. We decided not to get big gifts for each other and then he surprised me with a sunrise hot air balloon ride! Sneaky Sneaky.

This past weekend we took an intro to scuba diving class. We got to learn how to use the equipment and played with our buoyancy!

Thursday is St. Patty's Day and the tournament starts!

San Juan, here we come!

Money Money Money

I have begun to realize that I do not have enough money for bills and life. I want to eat super healthy when I can, but that involves more money than I can think about. I am stuck in that pasta phase while I wait for money to accrue in my account. I have to start paying my college loans and well that puts a big dent into every paycheck I get. Grownup life is stressful.

I just ate an entire carton of blueberries. I have been drinking way too much lately. This morning Riley and I got up really early and went walking at the beach. An athletic like walk. It is so nice to start the day at the beach. It is beautiful and there is no one there.


I am finally learning how to play and I do keep a small cheat sheet right next to me of the order of winning hands! I don't care how lame that is. I will beat everyone!

you're sweeter than corn on the cob, it's scary!

Hello there world! I have not blogged in about two months. Which is a little ridiculous. I have much to update. First of all, my job is going well. Although kind of sad that I have no co-workers. My work days get rather lonely and I also could use someone to vent to about the work I am doing who understands or could give me advice/sympathy. Other than that, I am making money. And considering how long it took me to get a job, I really should not complain. But I will soon begin looking for another job - hopefully in a school with other people.

I have visitors coming out here to visit soon which is exciting! And then I am going to Puerto Rico for my brother's wedding! The next few weeks are busy and full of fun things.

The weather has not changed here in over a month. But I think that for the next 3 days it might be raining, and while that does not beat the sun shining everyday at a lovely 70 degrees, it does mean that I will be able to finally put to use my new rain boots that I got for Christmas. They have been sitting by the door for almost 2 months waiting for raindrops!

For Valentine's day, Riley and I went camping an ended up not going where we had planned. However, it turned out to be just perfect and a wonderful time! I like camping. I have come to that conclusion. Mostly I like campfires and how everything smells like fire after.

My sister is pregnant and I cannot wait to be an Aunt. She is due in June and the time is flying by!

I really need dark purple or gold heels for my dress for my brothers wedding.
I am learning to play poker, as my brother and I host a weekly poker night.
I started making my bed every morning and it definitely helps to start my day but more importantly makes my room look cleaner.
I bought a car and 1)cannot believe how quickly miles rack up; 2) gas is expensive; 3) how did I live without one before?
I hope to make candles this weekend with my candle making kit! (rainy days project)

I want to run a 5k soon.
Tomorrow is Wednesday!!!!
