March 2010

So here are some events that we had in March 2010:

Thomas Seely Bacchus!

Our newest nephew was born on March 4,2010. We were

SO excited to meet him at the hospital that I covered my shift. Here are a few photos of the proud aunt and uncle and baby Thomas! He is SOOOOO adorable!

My best friend Chris' Graduation from IADT

From day one, Chris and I had class with one another and developed a strong friendship and a brother/sister relationship. We had most

of our classes together and were very competitive with scores on tests and grades (in a nice way). We pushed each other for perfect attendance and Honors. Last fall he finished his classes for an Associates degree as he already obtained a business degree. He finished early as all of his general education classes were transferred from Tennessee (LUCKY!). After completing an internship at William Rast (Justin Timberlake's company) in downtown Los Angeles, he finally graduated and of course I attended.

My old teacher Laura and I! Now she is the

head patternmaker at William Rast. She was the

one to surprise me on my birthday in LA!

Our 1st Anniversary!

We cannot believe it has been a year since our wedding day and honeymoon! This year has definately been full of ups and downs but we are so grateful we found each other and are sealed for time and all eternity. To celeb

rate the first year, we went to dinner at BJS on Friday night and ate the topper of our wedding cake. Yes, we froze it in my parent's fridge for the past year! It wasn't too bad at all!

Tiger Lily and Prissy

My mom was having rattling and a weird smell in her Explorer's air system so my dad took it to the dealership. They found a old and new nest of mice, a mother and her babies, under the dash in her car. Our family has never had these problems before because of our old cat Marshmellow who died when I was 18. Also because they live in the boonies of Rancho Murieta, mice also attract snakes and my family is deadly afraid of them so my mom decided to rescue a kitten! I was so excited because Stephen will never let me have a cat so this is my way to get my kitten fix in :) However, my parents still had a surprise up their sleeve.....instead of one they adopted TWO! They are short haired tabby sisters and completely adorable. They are adjusting great to the house even with our dog Satchmo and love to roam. So far there favorite spots are on top of the dryer, under the couch, under the bar stools, and on the stairs. They perch and wait for Satchmo to come by. I can't wait to go play with them again!!!! Here are a few pictures....

Prissy and I :)

Tiger Lily!

Disneyland Part 4!

So this is the final post of our AMAZING Disneyland trip. Because the parks seemed to get crowded again as people were arriving to a long 3 day weekend. We had already been on all the rides many many times so we enjoyed walking the shops in New Orleans Square and Main Street as well as the muesums on Walt Disney and his family. We even found a painting that we both LOVED but too bad it was $900. We also spent some more time in California Adventure walking around and enjoying our favorite rides for the last time on this trip.

Funny story: So I was such a kid with the characters and especially wanted a picture with Chip N Dale! After barely missing them 2 times, watching them leave for shows or other attractions while waiting in line, we finally got them in California Adventure before they left again!!! So I was on the phone with my mom telling her about my birthday night while Stephen was picking out a place to eat for an early lunch. I spotted Chip N Dale in the center square and hung up the phone and ran to get in line! Stephen laughed and walked to follow me and see where I was going. I was so excited to finally get a picture....

Our last ride on the Hollywood Tower of Terror!

For dinner, we went to Downtown Disney and ate at the Rainforest Cafe. Stephen had never been and I haven't since I was a kid. It was great last night! Our Disneyland trip was a much needed break from work, school and homework! We had an AMAZING time and can't wait to get back to the happiest place on Earth soon :)

Disneyland Part 3/ My 21st Birthday!!

So its about time I get to the best part of our Disneyland trip....well my favorite...my 21st birthday. We had a great day. We started the day at Disneyland ( my favorite park) by finally getting on some of the rides we hadn't done yet. Since it was a warmer day we were able to go on Splash Mountain and dry off quickly after.
We also met Goofy, Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore and Tigger!!!


We then headed to California Adventure for the rest of the afternoon before we headed to downtown LA. For my birthday night, we headed first to West Hollywood to the Grove mall to get Stephen a shirt. The mall was outdoors and so nice. (It reminded me of Stanford back at home). After sitting in traffic for a half hour every 2 miles, we made it to downtown to meet my best friend from school, Chris, who moved down to be an assistant designer! He tells me he had a surprise and when he walked in the door to the restaurant, my former teacher from school Laura popped out from behind. It took me a few minutes to recognize her because her huge curls were straight but it was the BEST surprise. We ate at this super nice restaurant next to the Staples Center in LA Live and had a great time catching up!


After dinner, we talked and hung out in LA. I had an amazing birthday! Thanks Chris, Laura and my hubby for celebrating with me!!!
