Wedding

9.10.11. Most amazing day of my life. Our wedding was everything I ever dreamed of. I wish we could relive the day all over again. It was beyond PERFECT!!

Rehearsal

We had our wedding rehearsal on September 8, 2011. We did our rehearsal at the church, St. Martin De Porres and continued with dinner at Chevy's in Anaheim Hills. Everything went so smoothly and we had a blast!

New Job

Bachelorette Party

August 12-14 we all headed to Vegas for my Bachelorette party. Mallory flew into Vegas from Seattle and the rest of the girls carpooled there. Brooke drove me, Nicole, Carrie, Kristen, and Kelsey. Lauren drove herself out. We arrived around 9pm to our hotel The Hard Rock and got ready for the night. The first night we went to The Bank nightclub at the Bellagio. We had a blast dancing and getting free drinks :)

The next morning we soaked our feet in our jacuzzi tub and ordered Starbucks, got ready for the day. Brooke made us neon pink shirts, mine said "Bride" and the girls' shirts said "Bridesmaid" or Maid of Honor" for my sister. We walked the strip, ate at Margaritaville and headed back to lay out by the pool. As we were walking up to our room Mallory slipped on a spilled drink in the hotel lobby. No one at the hotel helped us and couldn't even give her ice. So the time I was supposed to be laying out by the pool, I was running around like a mad woman trying to get help for my sister. We ended up going to our room and getting ready for the night. We had reservations for dinner at Firefly and then headed to Marquee at the Cosmopolitan hotel. That club was out of control! Huge huge huge and that night a very popular DJ Dash Berlin was there.

Overall we had a blast and can't wait to go back!!

Lingerie Shower

On July 30, 2011 Brad's mom, his sister and some of my bridesmaids threw me a fun lingerie shower. The invites, colors, and lingerie were all so cute! The best part was the dirty books my friends got me and the book was passed around and my grandma and brad's grandma thought it was hilarious! Along with the whip and tickle. Oh boy!

Bridal Shower

On June 26, 2011 my Mom and sister threw me the most amazing bridal shower ever. Every single detail was incredible.

Kellen Blaine

On April 10, 2011 my cousin, Kyle, and his wife, Chelsy had their first child. They didn't find out the sex and they had a handsome baby boy, Kellen Blaine. We met Kellen on Memorial Weekend when they came down to visit family.

Engagement Session

This post is LONG overdue. We took our Engagement photos on February 5, 2011 in Big Bear Lake, Ca. :)

My Valentines

Tonight I made my Valentines for my students and two gifts for the two teachers I really look up to and have been huge positive role models in my life for the last 6 years. I forgot to take a photo of the clipboard I mod podged but it turned out pretty cute! :) I love crafting and wish I made more time for it. It's so relaxing!

Dress shopping!!!

This past Saturday, January 22 I had two appointments to try on wedding dresses. My first appointment was at 11am at The White Dress in Corona Del Mar. I fell in love with the 3rd or 4th dress I tried on. Absolutely amazing and exactly what I was looking for! :) We had another appointment at 2pm at Mariposa in Anaheim so we had time to spare and got lunch at Taco Rosa at the Irvine Marketplace. We headed to Mariposa and the moment I walked into Mariposa I didn't have a good feeling. The set up was different and I didn't like how you have to walk out on a stage to show your family/friends the dresses you're trying on. It was very busy and I had to share the stage with 6 other girls and 3 mirrors. My bridal stylist never straightened out my train or anything. She was rude and I did not feel comfortable at all. I told you about 20 times what I was looking for and she would bring me the complete opposite!! After about 6 dresses I was annoyed and almost snuck out the back door! ;) We headed straight back to The White Dress to say yes to the dress and pop champagne!!

Our 2nd annual Ensenada Cruise!

This past weekend we took a 3 day cruise to Ensenada! We went with about 80 people from church. We had a great time hanging with some amazing people. Brooke, Charlie, Bob-o, Lisa, Megan, Mary and some friends we hadn't seen since last years cruise. We went into Ensenada, ordered bucket of beers, had some delicious Mexican food, and watched some football playoff games.

Kenyon's 40th Birthday

Last night we celebrated Kenyon's 40th Birthday at the Cannery in Newport Beach. It was a great time with amazing friends. Kenyon looks like she turned 30, not 40! I hope I look that good at 40! :)

Disneyland

Tonight Kristen and I went to Disneyland. We had a fabulous time and took photos with Donald, Mickey, and Minnie! I love our Disneyland dates!

Christmas 2010

Christmas day we woke up and at 9am my Grandparents came over. We always sit in a circle and each open a present one by one so we can see what every one got. We took a brunch break around 11am and finished opening presents after that. We just relaxed all day and watched some football. We ate a yummy dinner and continued the laziness into the evening. :)
