Perfect.

We are in the process of moving right now

so our apartment is a maze and looks like this.

It's been about 3 days of this so we were looking forward to getting out of the apartment for our anniversary and not worrying about moving, boxes, and cleaning.

After Fez got home from work
(that's right, he works at a big office job now!!!)
he surprised me with these gorgeous beauties!


Due to lack of funds and the timing of the move and anniversary we decided not to go stay anywhere. But we did decide to go to this beautiful place.


It was absolutely the PERFECT place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The spirit was so strong and touched my heart to the core.

It was everything I had to not burst out in tears. I was a little taken back as to why I was so emotional and tried to think of all these things it could mean.

But... then I told myself to just enjoy feeling the confirmation that we were in the right place and this is what really matters in life.
Not buying expensive gifts.
Not spending the night away from home.
(Although those are great too, don't get me wrong)

It was just perfect.

Afterward we went to the Cheesecake Factory and ate way more than we should have and of course
ordered dessert on top of it.
You can't pass up cheesecake!

Thank you honey for a fantastic time!
I'm such a lucky woman!

One Year Down and an Eternity to Go

It's been ONE YEAR today!!!

SO much has happened this past year and I'm SO happy

that I was able to spend it all with this guy.

He brings out things in me I never knew.

Makes me want to be a better person.

Laughs when I'm being ridiculous.

Compliments me when I look good.

Smiles just because he's with me.

(etc, etc...)

Happy One Year Anniversary Sweetheart!

I LOVE YOU!!!

Nationals Competition!

This past weekend was the annual

Nationals Competition weekend at Lagoon.

Despite the freezing cold and wet weather Friday night

and the chilly morning and afternoon/evening Saturday

it was a fantastic weekend!

I love clogging competitions.

It is like a big clogging family reunion.

We see most of these people only a few times a year

during competition season so it is a fun time

when we can all get together and share doing what we love.

Sadly I don't have any pictures from this weekend

except for this one that I stole from a friend on Facebook.

Too bad it's not the best picture, but it's something!

Cambria asked me if I would do a short duet with her a few weeks ago so we put one together. Since her sister LaChere had pretty much taught me my whole life we danced really similar so it was perfect! We did an excellent job Friday scoring the highest short duet of the night and was able to dance off on Saturday for MVP. We didn't make the cut that night but Ayrion and Kandice won and it was well deserved! They rocked it!

Crazy another year has come and gone in the clogging world. I am so happy that I was able to dance this year. It has been a blessing in my life. Maybe I'll still be around to blog about it again next year... Who knows!

DISNEYLAND!

We had an amazing time in Disneyland!

It was 5 days full of rides, characters, walking, and smiling.

It really is the happiest place on earth...

Here are some pictures of our vacation

We can't wait to go again!!!

My Project!

About a month ago I took on a project.

Making pillows for our couch.

Originally it looked like this.


Fez and I found a good deal on a black couch cover
and decided to try it out.

So then it looked like this.


I bought 3 pillows, some material and little by little
started sewing them together.
My wonderful mother helped me and
even though we had a few hiccups along the way
the pillows turned out great!

Now the couch looks like this.






Now these aren't by any means professional and could be done much better but I am proud that I pretty much figured them out and did it anyway.

I've always had a desire to be crafty but have a really hard time actually being crafty. Maybe one day I'll get there.

Oh yeah, and tomorrow I'll be in
DISNEYLAND!!!

2 days

In 2 days we'll be here!!!

and here!


Riding this!


and this!


and this!


and this!


And seeing this!


All with these people!


Can you tell I'm really excited...

Crazy? Maybe.

Fez and I bought these lovely things after Christmas.

I NEVER thought I would own one.
I thought people who did were somewhat crazy,
but good for them.

Now. I. am. one. of. them.

And... I'm slightly excited about.
We have used our camping equipment already and loved it.
I grew up camping in a trailer so this is a stretch for me
but I am open to the challenge.

But... just using a backpack is different than backpacking.
I have NEVER done that.
So we decided to give it a try last weekend.
We walked from his parents house to my parents house.
A whole 1.8 miles.
(yeah, I still don't know how we didn't know each other)

And... It wasn't really all that bad.
They are designed really well so you carry the weight correctly and are comfortable.

Now... This doesn't mean I'm going to be backpacking to who knows where and camping out for 3 days every time we go camping. That's just not my style. But I have agreed to do it once in a while and try to enjoy myself.

I'm getting to be so outdoorsie :)

(P.S. Here is a preview of what I've been working on lately.
Post coming soon.)

TWINS!

Don't be fooled now...

This isn't an announcement for me.

Fez's brother and sister-in-law are pregnant with
TWINS!!!

I can hardly believe it.
SO exciting!

Twins to arrive November 2010.
CONGRATS to the cute family!!!
