Jeffrey and Nicole Thompson

Bitter Sweet experience!

2009-07-20T17:21:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't posted in a long long time. I thought it would be appropriate to start now & share that my Dad passed away Yesterday morning. He died in so much peace with all of his siblings, parents, wife, children & loved ones around him with literally a SMILE on his face. He has been struggling for the pst 9 months with ASL ( As many of you know!) It is a horrible disease that is super painful. He was in a lot of pain, so when my sibling came out to tell us that he was gone, I felt this huge load off my shoulders, knowing that he was released from the pain he has been in. Looking at his body lay there so peacefully was such a sense of release & happiness & I knew he was in a BETTER place. He was such a humble, strong brave man to endure such a horrible disease, he was hardly ever negative and never complained, he bore his testimony to us just weeks before and was doing missionary work up until the day he died. The last thing he ate was the bread & water from the sacrament and minutes after receiving a blessing of release, he was released & left his body. I was able to spend the morning with him holding his hand, rubbing his chest & taking him in as much as I can, and I am so thankful I was there to experience this. I wouldn't have changed his passing any other way. He will always be in my heart & I will always remember what a funny, strong, handsome man he was. He is my hero! I love you Dad!

Read from the bottom first.

But here are some fun pictures for now.

It was my 24th B-day and we went to BJ's to celebrate!

It was super fun & a lot of our friends came to play!

Thanks everyone for celebrating with me.

This is Scott.. One of Jeff's BFF!

Ryan, Ashley, Scott, Trev, Amy & Cindel!

Heather, Jenn, & Me!

Me & Sharla, She is almost due... YAYYY!

Chelsey & Dave!

YAYY! I'm 24!

* Also Jenn, Jarrett, Kenny & Jill came but I didn't get the chance to take photos of them!

The actual night of my B-day we went to this Amazing place called Marrakesh!

They have belly dancers & great food,

I highly recommend!

Trev, Fonz, Amy & Heather!

p.s. Its herbal Tea.... not anything naughty!

Hud Amelia, Ryel, Me & Jeff!!

The love of my life.. Isn't he handsome!!!?

I am SO proud of Jeff, He has been running SO much Lately.. He is training for a Marathon in May & another in October.

He is SO crazy busy with Running, work & school. I am SO looking forward to school to be over forever!!!

It was also Jeff's 26th B-day on Easter.. I am SO sad I didn't take any photos, but we had a lot of fun, we went to the beach the day before, ate at this amazing place called Manpuku, Also a great recommendation. We went down to San Diego to see this band he likes called COLD...

(not so much of a good recommendation :/ ) Don't tell him I said that hahah!

Anyways.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE!

ALSO I went up to Utah to visit my Dad again. But this time was special.......

ALL 7 siblings were there! I think the last time ALL of us were together was at mine & Jeff's wedding. about 2 years ago

Even my little brother got to come from his mission

(He's serving in the Provo, Utah mission! He's in the white shirt.)

From left to right:

Alex, Jordan, Kenny, Me, Michael, Daniella, & Amelia.

It was REALLY cool to spend all that time together with my Dad. We had such a great time visiting & laughing. It makes me SO thankful that we were able to drop all of our lives to go see him. I am so grateful that we were able to spend that time together.

So I completely am aware that is has been FOREVER since I made a post. As most of you know I am VERY VERY busy! My business is booming & I couldn't be more thrilled about it! I feel super blessed to have a job right now, & better yet a job that I absolutely LOVE! I know it can get quite stressful at times but there is nothing better then making your own hours, having the freedom to come & go when I please, & to be able to make women look & feel beautiful everyday! I have had an honor working with two really good friends Chelsey & Cindel. They are both VERY talented & are such great workers. I am in the process of trying to grow my business, to take it to the next level. Hopefully in the next few months I can move into a BIGGER salon. Or even into a house. Hmmm that sounds nice!

I am So happy to announce my NEW BLOG & NEW WEB SITE!

MY DAD!!

2009-03-03T19:19:00.000-08:00

Jeff & I went to St. George this last weekend to visit my Dad! It was SO good to see him & to visit with him & his wife Kristy!

It has been SO hard being away from him.. & seeing him really helped me understand his situation and learn to be OK with it. It gives me a sense of peace to see him smile... ( Isn't he handsome!?) He looks SO much like my little brother Jordan.

It was REALLY nice to spend more time with his wife Kristy... They have been married for a long time now.. but I haven't had the opportunity to REALLY sit down & talk with her.. I gained a better understand of who she is.. & I am really happy I did. It was a successful trip all around. We drove the 26 mile road of the St. George Marathon that Jeff will be running in October. (He has been a runner lately.... & I am Super excited for him!) We visited the beautiful Pine Valley, ate at some yummy restaurants, bought Great harvest bread & Creamies ( My favorite!)

We also got to see my Grandma & Grandpa Brady, & my Uncle Brian & Aunt Sinette!

I am looking forward to going back up there in the next few weeks!

Good times.

The Ring!

2009-02-24T21:41:00.000-08:00

HERE IT IS! A LOVELY JEM! (the picture doesn't do justice!)

Jeff took a rad photo of it with some flowers... it turned out really good, but our computer is acting super slow so we haven't been uploading any photos to the computer!

HAPPY TUESDAY FRIENDS!

OH MY GOODNESS.. I AM IN LOVE!

2009-02-15T20:03:00.001-08:00

I hope to see everyone there! YAYYYY, I am so excited, it will be more fun than anything!!!

This is my dad... & he has The Lou Gehrig's disease!

2008-09-17T14:59:00.000-07:00

This is my Dad Ken....& He has ALS ( Lou Gehrig's disease)

Hello All you friends and family... I'm not sure if any of you know.. But this is my Dad Ken.. We recently found out that he has been diagnosed with the Lou Gehrig's Disease. If you aren't too sure what the disease is.. Well it's a horrible one.. I looked up some information on what the disease is exactly, because to be honest I didn't know what it was either......

It is a neuromuscular disease that attacks the nerve cells and pathways in the brain and spinal cord. the mind remains completely unaffected, but all voluntary muscle actions are compromised. Persons in later stages of the disease are left totally paralyzed. The average life expediency of persons with ALS is two to five years from the time of diagnosis. A very few, However live as long as 10-15 years after diagnosis. It gets to the point when they wont be able to swallow, and all they can do is blink. ALS is a rare & sad disease.

In honor of my dad, I am hosting a fundraising walk to defeat ALS. The event will take place on Saturday October 18th, at the William R. Mason Regional Park, in Irvine, CA

I have made a BLOG just for all the information for the walk...Please click HERE to view the blog, if you are interested!

My goal is to get at least 100 people to walk, and raise at least $500.00.... that's only a donation of $5.00 people. Less than a meal at lunch time.. If you can buy yourself lunch today, I'm sure you can donate at least $5.00 to save someones life! ( I promise you feel all warm and fuzzy inside if you do!)

If you'd like to walk with us or only donate, the information to join the walk, or donate is on the blog I made in Honor of my Father. Click HERE!!

The web site to the ALS walk association is www.alsaoc.org

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... ANYTHING AT ALL WILL HELP.... PUT YOURSELF IN MY POSITION, IF YOUR OWN FATHER WAS IN THIS SITUATION YOU WOULD WANT THE BEST FOR HIM AS WELL! I HOPE YOU ALL CAN SEE THE LIGHT IN THIS, SOFTEN YOUR HEARTS AND DO ANYTHING POSSIBLE TO HELP! I APPRECIATE ANYTHING AT ALL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!

As Lyndsey Says: "Quote of a lifetime"

2008-09-16T18:30:00.000-07:00

" Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our darkness, that frightens us, We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

-Marianne Williamson

I Stole this quote from my Lovely little cousins blog (LYNDSEY) , & it made me cry! I thought I would share it with all of my bloggy friends! PLEASE JUST READ IT!

The handsome Husband!

The Sarah & Nicole!
The Girls!
The Eats!

Yesterday Jeff had his annual IN-N-OUT PICNIC for his company! (he works at in-n-out BTW) haha! He's in their accounting department, and since he works in the corporate offices with BOTH of his sisters and his brother works in the stores, it was a big family In- n-Out picnic day! We ate SOOOOOO much food! & the best part about that food is that it was FREEEEEE! Imagine that... all the FREE In-N-Out burgers your little heart desires.. I only had one! ( Not to mention the fruit, corn on the cob, hot dog, and ice cream I also ate!) We were a little fatty all day! It was our sin of gluttony!!! We had so much fun! It was at Wild Rivers! Nothing beats free food and free admission to a water park. Even though Jeff & I didn't attend the park.. we still had fun. We rode on rides and Jeff got injured with a Horse Shoe! Yes a HORSE SHOE! A couple weeks ago at our Family Reunion Jeff picked up on the amazing sport of Horse Shoes.. Just as we were about to leave Jeff & his Brother Trevor decided to play.. and so be it.. the Horse Shoe ate a chunk out of his shin! He instantly started bleeding .... we rushed him over to the paramedic car...(They were NO good, they didn't even have tweezers) But they did give us the advice that he should probably have a tetanus.... so thats what we did today! All in all.. we had a great time!!!! I think were IN-N-OUT burgered OUT!!!

Introducing the NICOLE DEANNE studio/salon!

2008-08-12T16:07:00.000-07:00

So this is it! My very own salon! I am SO happy and proud of myself! Thanks to everyone that helped make this work, I couldn't have done it without my Dad, brother Mike, Justin, My father- in-law Gary, TREVOR!!! and my wonderful Husband Jeffery! We all worked very hard, painting walls, lifting up the carpet and staining the concrete floors, installing lighting, sink, and shelfs. It is a project well worth! I am so excited to finally work in my own space, and to be my own boss! I'm not going to lie, it is a bit scary, but I think the positive definitely weighs out the negative. I have already had a hand full of clients , & I am looking forward to many many more. Please come visit me! I am trying to put together a GRAND OPENING... we"ll see how that will work out, but I'll for sure invite everyone! I think it's cute!

Other than the salon... things have been great! We finally buckled down and purchased Disneyland passes yesterday.. we are So excited to get those back into our lives again! Jeff starts school soon so we will be trying to get as much fun filled events in our lives before life gets even more busy! The salon has pretty much been taking up most of my time, trying to organize everything, and having 4 weddings this last weekend, along with my clients. I can't wait to get this going! Oh and sorry for the lack of posting... I have a good excuse!

J.E.W. ( Jimmy Eat World)

2008-07-29T17:15:00.000-07:00

Shiny Toy Guns Drummer.. he was kinda silly!
Hello hello everyone! I know I am the worst at posting regularly.. but I do have a good excuse! Well I am opening up my own studio! Yes.. I found a place.. Located in Orange.. I am renting from a very nice lady that does Clinical skin care. It is a perfect situation! We have been painting, putting up lighting, ripping up carpet, laying down base boards and staining the concrete. It is definitely a task! I thought 2 trips to Home depot was bad.. ya .. how about 6 now! It's been crazy! I want to be up and running by today!..... Ummm! I don't think that will happen, with having a ton of clients and I am doing them all in my kitchen for now.. and with our family reunion I will be out of town for a few days! Hopefully by next week for sure for sure for sure!!!

I will post photos when it is all finished and send out an invitation for the opening! I'm excited!

Well.. the photos above are form last last weekend.. We went and saw Jimmy Eat world! It was super rad! I've seen them play before, & I just love everything about that band! I guess they extended the tour 2 days to come back to LA so they can go on YO GABBA GABBA! ( props to HUDD!) We got to go back stage ( Jeff loved flaunting his pass.. haha!) and meet the band and also we saw the drummer from Shiny Toy Guns! Fun Fun! Oh and we had PINKS HOT DOGS!!! so good, and so greasy.. and such a LONG wait! All & all it was a fun night!!

I look forward to posting my Studio for you all soon.. stay tuned for updates!

VIVA LA VIDA!

2008-07-16T22:41:00.001-07:00

And a new hair style!! P.s. back stage where Amelia & I played.. I spy... We spotted 'The Nanny', the girl who sings.. ' Give me one reason to stay here.. & I'll turn right back around..." And the base player from No Doubt.. (yep he still bleaches his hair too!) Oh and we scored on FREE sushi!

P.S. The first & only Time I have ever attempted to color my own hair! with the help of Amelia, I think it turned out great! Oh and the cut by Chelsea Booth!
The handsome Husband Jeffery & I!!!

Amelia & Hudd!
Ya our seats were Horrible!!! If you squint your eyes you can see Chris Martin rockin out!
We had the LOVELY opportunity to see COLDPLAY yesterday night at the FORUM! I've seen them play 3 other times before, so when we purchased our tickets I really didn't care where the seats were, I just wanted to be there to see COLDPLAY! I didn't care until we got there & Amelia & Hudd got tickets and they were amazing seats.. I was a bit jealous.. ( I'm not gonna Lie! ) anyways it was still an amazing show! I suggest all who are virgin coldplay viewers so see them live next time you have the chance! They pretty much changed my life a couple summers ago for their X&Y tour! Jeff & I had so much fun... we rocked out! Afterwards Hudd Hooked it up for the "After Party" too bad COLDPLAY wasn't even there.. it was still rad to have free sushi, free drinks, free people watching, and free false advice from where a girl got her jeans from! ( I hate those kind of girl) "I got them in Europe! " Ya right! ha ha! even after the after party walking to our car we came across the set of the new movie "Angels & Demons" the sequel of Davinci Code!

What a good night with some good tunes, and some good people!!!

Busy-ness!

2008-07-07T12:23:00.001-07:00

Happy fourth of July party at San Clemente beach! It was so much fun and so crowded! Everyone came and it was hot.. we had lots of food and lots of smiles. I think the firework show was the best part! I LOVE FIREWORKS! I think 4Th of July is my most favorite holiday! Its just so much fun.. nothing about it isn't

So besides that things have been great! last weekend Jeff & I decided to take a quick trip to Vegas.. it was really fun and way Hotter than California. We laid out by the pool, relaxed, shopped, ate, and went and saw MAMA MIA!! it was such a nice break from life! Now back to the life of figuring out my life! Business is OK with me quiting D.V. and all.. I'm not working too much in the salon anymore.. my ideal situation would to get my studio ASAP( I just haven't found the right location) where I can do both Bridal client and Salon clients! Don't worry I'm working on it...... Hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll be able to get this prolonged part of my life going!

I'm addicted to Grey's Anatomy! I watch at least 2 episodes a day right before I go to bed at night! It gets so bad to the point when Jeff is excited to watch it with me! ha ha!

Well I think thats it for now..

ok ok ok ok....

2008-06-23T22:44:00.000-07:00

Alright Already.. I'll make a post! too bad we have had sum what of boring lives.. nothing too exciting going on! Just melting from this disgusting heat! Our apartment was built in the 1940's and the A/C selection.. well there is none.... other than wall units purchased at home depot!

It's night & day from the room with A/C and the hall way with NO A/C! hopefully it will cool down soon!

Right now in our lives we are having so much fun trying to figure out our lives.. I'm in the process of quitting my job and finding my own Studio Salon! I'm REALLY excited about it but it will be a lot of work... I'm totally willing to take on the challenge & to struggle for a bit till I get things going! I can't wait.. It will be a Salon/ Bridal Studio. Where I will be doing all of my Brides, as well as my Coloring & cutting clients! I can't wait.. I have everything planned except for the location.. So if anyone has anything in mind, please contribute ideas, or locations!

and come get your hair done by me! Check out my BRIDAL BLOG TOO!!!!!

Jeff is just working at In-n-Out and working out! He loves his blackberry phone and playing brick breaker! He's actually doing that right now as we speak!

The photos above are from a double date we went on with Jeff's friend Scott and this girl named Sarah DeAnne.. (we have the same middle name.... just thought I would add that in!) we went to the AMAZING Royal Thai.. and I LOVED the Sticky Rice with Mangos! Oh my gosh.. definitely a FO ( Food Orgasm) ha! ha! and afterwards to Balboa Island to ride the ferris wheel! It was very exciting..... and of coarse there is my other Boyfriend Hudson... eating his very favorite Lightning McQueen race car cookie!

well well well.....

FA FA FA FA FA FA FA!.... This weekend was So much F f F f F FUN! Let's start with ......

Thursday... Catalyn (England) & Tony (Scotland) are leaving for their missions and so my mom threw a Bon Voyage party! It was such an amazing moment when I realized all they have been through to get in that position.. from being at an orphanage for 9 years, abandoned by their family, raising themselves. Coming to the states to live a completely different life. Joining the church and now going off on a mission to serve the Lord! I'm SO proud of them!

Friday.... we went out to Glendora for my Cousin Stanley's Graduation.. He Graduated from law school from Penn State! Congrats Stan! For the after party.. Kenny, Jill, Jeff, HUD, Amelia, & I cruised out to Harbor house for some good tasting desserts! Photos above.... & for the After After party we rolled over to the Detroit Lounge to see DATA ROCK DJ! All of our pseudos came out! We danced out HEARTS out! Jill was THE BEST! We had a great time!

Saturday.. I had a wedding in effing Simi Valley... (that's So far away!) It was great though! I came home to my loving Husband who cleaned the house spotless! There is nothing better than having a LONG day at work dealing with picky Brides & to come home to a clean house! It was wonderful.... but it doesn't stop here.. He planned a date for us! We went down to Costa Mesa to my Favorite Restaurant ( as of Saturday date night) Called MANPUKU! If you haven't heard of it please try it! It will change your life forever! We also went shopping around at my new favorite store too.. AMERICAN RAG! So great! Than to a movie... we saw a chick flick.... Made Of Honor! Cute! Oh and Cold stone for dessert: banana ice cream with caramel, brownies, and pecans.. YUM!! It was A perfect date, for a perfect night, with a perfect guy! I LOVE MY HUSBAND!

Sunday.... The usual church. We are now released from our calling of primary teachers so we had the privilege to enjoy Relief society and priesthood for the first time in forever! I sat next to Elise & we both loved it to have a friend in class! We also planned ahead to have a Family picnic at the beach! Corona Del Mar! What a LOVELY day to just relax on the sand and eat yummy treats for the afternoon! Hudson pulled his pants off and looked So adorable.. Jill & I couldn't resist and she took some pretty cool photos! The night ended with some Haircuts of Hudson, Kenny & The Hubby JEFFREY!

SIGH...... so there you have it.. our fun filled eventful weekend! Now enjoy the week!

The Update of our Lives!

2008-05-27T15:31:00.001-07:00

Here is the 411 of our lives as of last weekend .... it's been super super busy.. the above photos I will explain from top to bottom......

. That is Sarah,, she is a Greta friend of mine.. I've known here since Freshman year in high school.. probably my only friend besides Kristins Olson that I still keep in touch with from high school.. so that was not this last weekend but the one before.. we attended 4 graduation partys and 1 house warming party.. It was definitely a busy weekend!!

. Last Friday I surprised my friend Nico that I worked with at Chili's back in the day for his B-day.. Jef and I went out to Ontario at Benihannas! It was a fun reunion with the Chili's crew! ... I look Kinda silly in this photo!

. Oh ya Jeff is selling his Dunnies on Ebay! take a loooky!!

. Yesterday was Memorial Day! Jeff & I decided to take a bike ride! A LONG bike ride! It was really fun.... we rode to get some lunch then we rode to the block and saw the movie " What Happens In Vegas" It was good! Shopped a bit.... Then off to Anaheim for a BBQ at the in-laws! I think it was about 5 Miles or so.. We were wiped out and we got our cardio in for the day!

. Last but not least.... This amazing thing happened to me yesterday... I gained about 5 pounds in FREE make-up! Good make-up too! as you all know I do hair and Make-up for wedding so I have a ton of make-up.... but you can never have enough! This lady in My In-laws ward use to make make-up for this company called Rich girl.. It's still in progress. But since she was in the industry she received So much free samples!! She had boxes & boxes & bags, & bags for days! I don't even think we dented it! I came home and went through the bag for like 2 hours!!! I loved all the MAC lipsticks!!!

EME HOT GIRL!!!

2008-05-15T12:36:00.000-07:00

This is Kristina... she is pregnant & I couldn't be happier for her! Doesn't she look SO cute pregos!??? Kristina & I have been friends since freshman year in high school.. we have been through so much together, and I wouldn't change that at all.. we have such a great bond that will last forever! So MANY memories.. ha ha! It makes me laugh to even think about some of them... She is living in Georgia for the time being with her hubby Marcel.. but will move home in August to deliver her precious baby BOY COHEN! How cute is that name.. right!? I am SO happy for her & Marcel. I love you Krissy... you and I will always be friends.. I guess this is a bit of a tribute to you.. & a Thank You for being my EME HOT GIRL! I love & appreciate our friendship SO much.... I hope we will be able to visit each other more often as well!!! Sorry I stole this photo from your blog!! OH & the above picture is in Utah at her reception!!!

I night out with our friends!!!

2008-05-14T14:06:00.000-07:00

Last Friday night Our friends Candice and Troy came into town for Mothers day.... they live in Arizona! We decided to go out to dinner to catch up. We haven't seen them since Jeff and I got married, we stayed with them when we had our Utah reception. We met up at Cheesecake Factory at Victoria Gardens with Sharla & Mossi. Sharla, Candice & I all met when we were 14 at stake dances... we had our share of meeting the BOYS and fooling around. These are friends I will definitely have and remember FOREVER! It was SO FUN to be together again.. it's been so long since we've all hung out! What a fun night it was.. I haven't laughed so hard in so long.... Candice & I are something else when we get together... don't we all have friends that just makes you laugh so hard every time you see them!? Ya thats Candice! We have so many silly memories & we laugh every time we talk about them! I miss having Candice around.. Hopefully her & Troy will move to CALIFORNIA real soon!

She Wants Revenge!!!

2008-05-10T19:40:00.001-07:00

The other night.... on I think Thursday.. I got to see the band She Wants Revenge at The House Of Blues Anaheim with one of my most favorite friends EVER...... KRISTINA STEVES!! It was so much fun to play with her... We hardly see each other anymore. But when we do... We have SO much fun together. She was actually there with me the night I met Jeff!!! I love her. She makes me laugh So hard! It's a funny story how we met.. I just moved to Brea, had no friends, went to Institute to make friends.... low and behold.. Kristina came up to me and was like "You're cute... we should be friends." I was so caught off guard.. I've never had a chick hit on me like that to be my friend! It was probably the best thing that ever happened to me at that point in my life... Kristina has been a HUGE blessing in my life.. her friendship & happiness means the world to me! Thank you friend for being my friend!!! ha ha!!!

Our trip to Utah!

2008-05-04T14:19:00.000-07:00

So it was a crazy week we had! Tuesday night I flew up to Utah for my Cousin Kristins Wedding... I was one of her bridesmaids, It was Fantastic.....I got to do her hair and make-up, it was so much fun to see all of my Brady side of a family, I miss them! Jeff Drove up Wednesday Night with my Little Brother Michael.... Ummm they didn't get in till 7AM Thursday morning...... FYI the wedding was at 11:00 Thursday morning! They had NO sleep.. and of coarse I didn't either.. being worried sick about them.... so we were both dead that day! Luckily it was an eventful day to keep our eyes open! Jason ( Kristins NOW Hubby) & Kris were married in the Salt lake temple... it was a beautiful sealing and a beautiful day.. IT SNOWED!!!! and it was cold! We had a good time attending the SLC temple.. it was my first time to go inside... and it is absolutely amazing. I would love to go back someday to do a session! Kristin & Jason are so in love and cute with each other...... oh did I mention that 37 couples got married that day!? YEP! So the reception was later that night and it was really fun..... visiting and bonding with the Brady's ........ We don't see them very often, in fact it was Jeff's 2nd time meeting that side of the family... it was hard for him to keep track of who is who!!! Anyways.. it was a really good time.. we enjoyed CAFE RIO..... and lovely Utah!!! Also Jeff put his "photography skills" to good use.... (it's the photo of the temple and flowers) well enjoy our photos!!!

p.s. Did I mention that I LOVE MY HUSBAND MAN!!!!

Happy Birthday AMELIA BADILIA !!!!

2008-04-28T21:42:00.000-07:00

Today was my Sister Amelia's Birthday! Thank goodness for Birthdays, or I wouldn't ever go to Glen Ivy Hot springs! It was SO much fun this time! I went with Amelia, my Mom, Jilly, Jacklyn, & Ryel!!! It was definitely a Fantastic day... nothing better then spending it in the sun by the pool, and relaxing! We got messages, ate lunch, read trashy magazines, got sun burned, enjoyed "club Mud" once again, and ate SPRINKLES CUPCAKES! We devoured them! Ryel was so kind to bring A DOZEN cupcakes to celebrate Amelia's Birthday! They were the right treat at the right time!

Happy Birthday to my favorite person! Without Amelia I would be so lonely! I wouldn't have a shopping buddy or a pedicure Buddy! And what would I do with her two creations Hudson and Sloan! I love my sister, she is amazing in every way, I look up to her in so many ways, and think she is So beautiful! Thanks Amelia for always being there for me ( I know so cheesy) I love you!!! enjoy our fun photos from the day!!!

Go Lakers!

2008-04-21T10:05:00.001-07:00

P.s And Jeff got a hair cut.. doesn't he look handsome!!
So Friday afternoon Jeff called and said he WON 2 free tickets to the first game of the Lakers playoffs.... yes it was on Sunday, but how can you resist! It was really fun.. We sat in the In-n-out suite... free drinks and all! It was a blast! That's probably the funnest thing we did this weekend, we were really busy with school stuff and weddings, so we splurged on our fun-ness on Sunday!

My Twitter: Getting ready for a quick trip to ST. george! ha! ha!

April 12, 1983 My Handsome Husband Man was born!!

2008-04-15T12:10:00.000-07:00

That's what I like to call him! He's GREAT! I'm so in love with Jeffrey! I'm so happy it was his Birthday last week.... he's the BIG 25! We had so much fun! Friday was a beach bon fire with friends and family.. I even ordered him a cake! we didn't end up eating it till Sunday though! It was so much fun getting together with everyone! I have a few photos of the excitement! Then Saturday was his actual B-DAY.. I had to work and he had school so the day time was pretty much just busy, but I made it up to him! We went and had a wonderful couples massage.... it was Jeff's First time getting one.. and he loved it! he was a bit weirded out when the lady started massaging his bum!...... it was funny! We then had dinner reservations at this AMAZING sushi restaurant called Takami sushi... it was located in down town LA on the 21st floor! The view was so rad.. and the food was even better... we'll definitely be going there again! I was so sad.. when I pulled out my camera to cherish the memories.. and the battery totally died! I guess you'll have to rely on your imagination on how much fun it was celebrating Jeff's 25th Birthday!

What A great Birthday week it was!

2008-03-31T13:26:00.000-07:00

I have photos... so check this out! We than went home to get ready for Dinner.. where we went to the best.... La Fondue in San Juan Capistrano, an Amazing Fondue restaurant, not only good for the food, but the decor is what makes it worth going to!

It's been way too long since I have posted! Life has definitely been crazy busy around here! With the flu going around and being sick, to going to Utah for a week doing Dress parties with kenny, going to Northern CA, and finally returning to Orange, our home sweet home! I am now trying to catch up with my life, trying to get on a normal schedule again. It's SO hard. All of my clients needing their hair done, and trying to tidy up around our house, I barely have time for Jeff. It doesn't help when he's just as busy, wow this guy. Work full time and school full time... what a trooper, I am So proud of my man! It will soon be over.. and I am so excited! Well in the mean time of this mess, we managed a day to play... lunch at BJ's, shopping at the spectrum and loving every minute of it! I have to say, Jeff is my BFF! I LOVE being with him and making memories.. so cheesy, but it is so true! I wouldn't want it any other way..... I cherish all the time I can get! here are some fun recent photos to share... enjoy!

California Coast!

2008-01-14T13:01:00.000-08:00

For out 1 year anniversary Jeff and I decided to take a trip up the coast last week! It was incredible... places In California I never thought could be more beautiful! We enjoyed ourselves so much. we started out going to Santa Barbara first! I think this was our favorite place! we stayed in the most quaint Inn called The Inn at the Spanish Gardens! I suggest you all to stay there one day! Amazing! We than ended in the good old Morro Bay! We stayed at this kinda ghetto Motel, let's just say "every room a work of art" oh but we did have the chance to eat at the GAFC (Great American Fish Company!) Yum! Than it got to the real fun part... the true coast, from Morro Bay to Monterey... Not sure if you've taken that drive but after a bit you're ready to not see the beach anymore! It was Beautiful though... on your left it's the Ocean, and on your right it's big huge mountains, and red wood trees. we got to visit Hearst Castle, and Jeff's favorite part, the Elephant Seals! We ended up at the Glorious San Francisco! I love it up there! It feels like your in a completely different State/ Country, with all the diversity, and parts of the town! It was fun! I think our Favorite part was eating at The Stinking Rose... a Garlic restaurant! They say... "We season our Garlic with Food!" & also SHOPPING! They have the most amazing shopping selection In Union Square! Our last day we drove back to Santa Barbara and stayed at A Bed & Breakfast! It was our first time staying at a Bed & breakfast, it was so different than what were use to but we had a great time anyways! Over all it was A GREAT vacation! Very relaxing, and spontaneous ... we left and had no idea what to expect.... I think that was the best part, that & being able to spend the entire time with my Jeffery's!

Hello hello! The Christmas season is here along with the Santa Ana's... I love this windy crisp cold time of year this is! Christmas season is Fabulous... the lights, the smells, the hot chocolate, and the decorations! I love decorating for this Holiday! we Got our first tree.. and what an experience it was.. Oh let's just say the tree attempted to fall off twice on our way home! ha! ha! I guess when the "tress securing on the car" guys were putting it on "secure" it was not so secure! We ended up making it home safely and decorating it beautifully! ahh! nothing like a fresh tree with the aroma of alpine surrounding the house!... I really am just being so cheesy aren't I!? Anyways... just thought I would try writing something for a change instead of just posting pictures... sometimes it's fun to look at photos but other times.. it's just so nice to sit down and write a bit of something going on in your life! Were just keeping busy... Jeff's in his finals week of this semester at Cal State Fullerton and is studying his brains out.. I'm still working on the web site.. I'll let ya'll know when it's up for sure!... I don't even know who really comes on this thing so Have fun reading my latest BLOG! That makes me giggle!

Enjoy!
