Happy Birthday Justin

I haven't posted for a while because I've been so busy working, and the last thing I wanna do when I get home is sit at a computer. But I got Justin a laptop for his birthday yesterday and now it will be easier to post things, because I can multi-task this way. :)

Justin turned 34 yesterday and I surprised him with a night at the Montage Resort in Laguna Beach. It is so gorgeous! It was so hard for me to keep the secret so long, but I was able to until we were like one street over and he guessed correctly. :) Here some pictures of our stay. If you are ever in Laguna Beach, you should just walk into the lobby and see how gorgeous the view is. The water is always super clear, and the grounds are very beautiful. We were only like 5 miles from our home, but it felt like we were in paradise.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries--Yum!

For Dinner we went to Nick's in Laguna. It was so yummy! A few close friends joined us. It was nice for Justin to have a stress free day and to be able to catch up with his buddies :)

Elora! :)

A few weeks ago, Justin's sister Elora came to visit CA and stayed with us. We hadn't seen her in a while, so it was great to spend some time with her. :) I didn't post anything because I didn't think there were any pictures, but I just found some on my camera :)

This is Justin and Elora on their hike:

1 year Anniversary!

Yesterday we celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary, and 4 years together. :) We ate some lunch, laid out at the pool. Then we left the beautiful weather to get massages. They were amazing. Finally, we went to Roy's for dinner. Which is a "hawaiian fusion" restaurant. We have gone there every time we have been in Hawaii, and the food is amazing! :) They decorated our table for us, put a personalized "happy anniversary" letter in our menu:

and surprised us at the end by giving us a frame with our photo in it, along with a free dessert that said Happy anniversary on it... so cute! It was so nice and the best service ever! Anyway, here are some pics:

My surf & turf... AMAZING!

Little baby dessert:

Oh goodness, where to start?

Did I mention, I got a little blue box? Thanks honey! :)

Family Visit

My family came to visit from Utah this past weekend because of a death in the family. :(

So, they were only have for a couple of days, but we were so glad to see them. Most of all we were excited to meet Brinnley! :) I am in love with her and I was so glad to finally hold her AND feed her her first whole bottle! I felt pretty honored! Thanks Haylee... Well, Here are some pics:

Kayla, Mamasita (Nancy--my sister/mom), and Joshie.... Who is getting marrried in August! :)

Our wedding pictures.....

I put together this website a while ago, and I never updated it since I started this blog, but I thought since it was still available I might as well share it with you guys. It was mainly to share our wedding pictures with our friends and family... so in case you haven't seen it and are interested, click the link below... If anything it will make you want to go to Hawaii... it was so beautiful there, even though it rained on our wedding day (that's good luck, right?---lol)

Kayla and Friends!

My niece Kayla and her two friends came to visit CA, and stayed with us last week. I never add new posts, because we usually are just working, and resting when not, but last week was fun seeing our niece, so I figured I could add a couple pictures I stole from her facebook page.

One day when I was working... Justin took the girls to Aliso... They said the water was warm...but I don't believe it! They are crazy! :)

On my day off we all went and got mani/pedi's, and we all got neon colors! :) Then we went to Smokey's, a really yummy BBQ place in Dana Point for dinner.

We had fun with them here, and I wish I would have been able to spend more time with them, but I worked every day except for one!!!

Chapman University Graduation :)

This Sunday was my graduation from Chapman University with a Master's in Health Administration. I wasn't going to walk, but I'm glad I did, since I didn't for my Bachelors. It was nice because I did work really hard for it and it made it seem "real", if that makes sense. Anyway, here are some pictures, courtesy of my hubby Justin who was there to support me :) Thanks honey!!! Love you!
