I Have A Pretty Cute Husband...

I came home from work Friday and my super adorable husband decided that he needed to buy me flowers (pictured) and make me smile and take me on a date. Well it worked and I was definitely all smiles when I got home. He even let me pick the place, so off to Zupas we went (where , bonus!, I got to see my cute pregnant friend Jenna and her husband Andrew). I love date nights and I really love Stuart!

Derek and Meredith Forever

Grey's Anatomy starts tomorrow and I don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight... I don't care if that sounds pathetic, I'm that excited!!! All I'm saying is, Derek and Meredith better get married this season or I'll scream! I'm sorta sick of her being "dark and twisty with mommy issues"...

Some Party

Ok, so I'm getting yelled at for not posting very often, but I really feel like I have nothing to blog about recently!! However, here's a story for you. I was at work on Friday with the other 2 girls in my office (also twenty-something's) when in the middle of the day a woman (a late thirty-something) who works at one of our branch offices came in for a reimbursement check. She then informed us that she was having a "botox party" the next day and her reimbursement money was going towards the food and drinks for it, would we all like to come? I was immediately inside my own head: "Do I need botox?? I know I like to be tan in the summer time, but I put sunscreen on my face everyday! Do I look years older than I am??" I think that because all of us weren't really saying anything when she invited us she piped up and said, "you really should just come in and do a preventive session for your forehead wrinkles." WHAT??? So basically for this whole last weekend I have been freaking out that maybe I have wrinkles and that I am aging prematurely and wondering about which anti-wrinkle cream I should buy. I'm leaning towards Clinique's "Repairwear Intensive Night Cream." After all, it's an award winner apparently. I really didn't think I was going to have to worry about this just yet. Oh well, now I'm panicked.

Meteor Shower Memories

Stuart told me that there is a meteor shower tonight and it immediately took me back to last summer. We had been dating again for a couple of months and when we heard about it we decided that it would be fun to go up the canyon and sit in the back of his truck to see it. For about the first half hour that we were sitting there talking I could feel the tension and had a pretty good feeling that it was going to be the night he told me he loved me.. then we had a bit of a surprise. A fellow onlooker decided to come and chat with us... for over an hour! I don't even remember what he talked to us about... I just remember that the tension was immediately eliminated. We watched the meteor shower, which was very pretty, and went home. We talked about it tonight and it was fun to remember and laugh about. It was maybe 3 days later when the tension came back and he told me, but it was a painfully long 3 days... I mean, I definitely wasn't going to say it first!

Fun in the Sun

Stuart and I were able to join his family in San Diego for a week and had SO much fun! We played on the beach, played with our nieces and pretty much just lounged. It was so great to be around family and get away from real life for a little bit :)

Lucy loved to bury Stuart in the sand. I'm so happy he's such a good sport.


Yes, that is me trying to get through Eclipse before Breaking Dawn came out...

All of us at the beach.

Eating Phil's BBQ on the beach. So so pretty at sunset.

At one of the best restaurant's ever, The Chart House.

Cutest. Picture. Ever.

Intense Saturday

Forget "weekend plans"... more like "Saturday plans"... I started and finished New Moon (the 2nd installment) in just one day. Actually that's lying, I read 2 chapters Friday night... but then what happened made me sad and I didn't want to keep reading. But on Saturday I could not put it down! Luckily for me she did NOT leave the 3rd book or my Sunday would have been spoken for as well and I didn't really have time for that. We were packing yesterday because tonight we are on a plane headed for San Diego with Stuart's family! (Where the 3rd book is waiting for me.) We're really excited to lay out in the sun and play on the beach. It's going to be a lot of fun! Pictures will be posted when we return :)

It Happened. I'm Hooked.

Last summer I had a couple of girlfriends who were obsessed with the Twilight series and they tried several times to get me to read it, but I was skeptical. I kept thinking that a love story with vampires was just not worth my time! However, my little sister, Lauren, read all 3 last month in like a week and raved about them, so I considered reading them again but quickly forgot about it with other things going on. Then Stuart's sister, Kate, came over this last Sunday for dinner and was talking about how she was so excited for the 4th one to come out... Geez! This book is everywhere! So I asked to borrow the first book (Twilight). Good thing that on Tuesday night she not only brought over the first book, but also the second, "just in case" I read it quickly and wanted the next installment. She was right. I read 2 chapters Tuesday night before I went to bed, a couple more Wednesday night, and then yesterday afternoon while Stuart took a nap I came close to finishing it! I went to sleep at around 1 last night but finished it before work at 9am this morning. I seriously could not put it down no matter how hard I tried. I would have finished it last night if my eyelids would have let me! Anyway, I loved it, and I'm really excited for the 2nd book she left. I think my weekend may already be planned out for me...
