30

So, I will be 30 in 10 days and I have mixed feelings. I am glad to start a new decade in my life and hopefully starting our family, but I'm a little sad. Any advice?

Big date!

I know it's been awhile, so I am quickly going to talk about how excited I am to go out on a date with my hubby! It has been forever since we had a date. We are celebrating V-day at Flemming's tonight to avoid the madness on Saturday. Can't wait!

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Fresno is all a buzz with the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in town. They are rebuilding a home for a deserving local family. On Sunday, I visited the site with my my dad and his friend Neil to give the effort our support.

My father somehow talked us into getting there around 6:15 in the morning. But when we arrived, they were not allowing spectators in until 8:00. So after hanging out with the Extreme Makeover security and the Fresno Police (just chit-chat) in the dark and freezing cold weather, we were finally allowed in. Thank goodness we arrived early. In just a few short hours, the spectator area would be 7 rows deep. We had prime spots. Directly in front of the house, right next to the Media booth. We ended up on the news and on You Tube.

It was amazing to see the framing of the house go up within 45 minutes. When we left about 2 hours later, they were working on the second level. Amazing! We got to see Jonathan, Michael, Dede, and Ty. It was a great day!

It took 6 months...

but we are finally done with thank you notes from the wedding. Ahhh..what a relief!

A new Hobby

A friend of ours is a Creative Memories consultant and she invited me to a workshop at her house. I always wanted to scrapbook, but it just seamed too overwhelming. I have always saved ticket stubs and other memorabilia of my travels and life events in hopes that I would begin to scrapbook. I started small with a book that I had purchased years ago to scrapbook about my college years and friends. Lisa and the other ladies helped me along and gave me great ideas. By the time I left Lisa's house Friday night at 12:00 am, I was about 1/3 done. By 5:00 pm the next day, I was finished. I am so proud of my book. Take a look!

Happy New Year's

We spent our New Year's Eve at the Neil Diamond Concert with my parents and in-laws. Jack, Giana and I surprised my parents with tickets for Christmas. They are huge fans, but we knew that they wouldn't buy the tickets themselves. We had such a great time. Prior to the show, we all went to dinner at Cheesecake Factory.
