Hii all!

First... I been noticing all these peeps blogging about the blogiversary & I was wondering when mine was... it actually was 01/08/11!
One Year! hahaha!

Although I haven't really paid much attention to it until the last 4 months I really am loving the blog world. It's so fun seeing & reading everyone's thoughts & photos ect.

So anways, this weekend I did soo much with my three day weekend!

(Sadly, I only have a few pics to recap)

Friday, my boy, bff & her new boy went to eat at Sharkeys in Manhattan Beach & after walk along the beach- how romantic huh? haha!

Saturday-I finally washed my beautiful car & and shopped at Target!

I only intended to spend like $20 - instead blew $80.

At night, Went to a karoke bar - !

Sunday- The gang headed to Millie's in Silverlake for Breakfast & we walked around a bit & enjoyed the hottt weather that LA is finally getting!

The cool thing about LA is all this random-ness

 My BF is soo cute, hes always my model haha

Monday- I had the day off, so my cousin Vanessa (bride to be) went to downtown & search for some wedding stuff! For lunch we stopped at Pete's Diner!

My lunch looks goood huh?

To complete my day I saw my baby nephew!

He seriously lightens up everyday!

I love my little nugget ♥

PS: Even though I had a three day weekend, I wait for the weekend.

My granny is sick & I wish I can see her!

She is 97 years old!

She is such a strong lady so I know she will pull through!

How is your week going, friends?

Weekend Adventures

Friday- Christian & I accompanied our two friends on their first date.

We set them up & look cute together♥

We ate at the Alcove Cafe and Bakery in  Los Angeles.

Not far from my house.

I wanted to take a picture of my yummy panini turkey melt w/sweet potato fries

BUT the lighting was not so great!

Check out the sweets:

Saturday- My cousin collected all her brides maids and we went out to eat

at my favorite place ...

the San Antonio Winery.  We discussed wedding details :)

Not only did she pick up the bill, she also gave all the brides maids different shades of MAC Red Lip Sticks for us to wear at the wedding & ME.. since I am the maid of honor she gave me a black ruffled makeup bag with a hello kitty keychain, hello kitty chapstick & also a Russian Red MAC Lipstick.

She is total opposite of Bridzilla! I love her!

Not the best picture of us hahah

but you can notice our red lips♥

The middle gal is my beautiful soon to be bride cousin!

actually 4 of these lovely gals are my cousins :)

All the wine & left over food!

Sunday- I went hiking with my cousin Jessica in Eaton Canyon.

She is on the cross country team for her school.

Second fastest runner at Alverno High School.

The view from the top!

This was "Photo Op Heaven!!" too bad I only had my cell phone.

Lastly, the best for last, took almost an hour to reach this bad boy!

We had to cross the river with rocks and hike!

It was an intense workout!

4 miles!

Hope your weekend was great also ♥

Happy Early Turkey Day

So I won't be on tomorrow, or maybe all weekend ...
Just wanna wish everyone a very Happy Turkey Day!

Everyone should over eat, there is so such thing as diets on Thanksgiving! Enjoy all the food and company of you loved ones.

Since it's Thanksgiving, you know you gotta make the list ...

What I am Thankful for:

• My mom! Although I don't have my dad anymore, I am so blessed to still have my mom, she is everything to me!
• My new little baby nephew, whom I refer to as "nugget" I am so happy he came to the world as my first nephew, he brought our family back together & I love him sooo much!
• My boyfriend Christian, we are going on 5 years & I don't know how I would ever without him. He's my sweetie pie & my row dawg! ♥
• Having a very good job! I am actually in the process to being promoted to a loan officer in my credit union & I couldn't be happier. I know people are having a hard time looking for work or are getting laid off, which I feel really bad, but I am sooo happy I have such a good job at a good company!
• My car!!! Sounds lameee... but I love my little toaster box! (Scion XB) it's never given me problems and I am happy it's mine♥ I work hard for that $$$
• Lastly, My two grandma's: My Grandma Molly has been suffering with breathing problems for over a year, I feel guilty I don't visit her, cuz work & school 5 days a week, but I do think of her every single day. And my "Mama Chole"(Cho-le') it's spanish! but anyways, she is 97 years old and is still going strong! I love them both so much & I am thankful I still have both of them. 

Lastly, I'll leave you with the best Thanksgiving movie scene ever ... ♥

"Twenty grand for summer camp & he's Mister Woowoo"
