Summer 2007

Summer just flew by. We had a great time while it lasted. Here's a few pictures from this summer. We had a great time at Ventura Beach for a belated anniversary weekend. It's such a cool little town. We stayed at the Marriot right on the beach, had great seafood and watched some beautiful sunsets. The Orange County Fair was another favorite...who doesn't love the rodeo, deep fried snickers and fennel cakes!? Redondo Beach is another place we've discovered (that we wish we would've long ago!). We also found some really cool places to go hiking (it's pretty cool to be hiking in a canyon with an ocean view!)

Wicked!

Happy birthday to me!

My parents flew out for my birthday in April, which was alot of fun. Dan and my parents were in kahootz (great word, eh!?) and surprised me with tickets to see Wicked in L.A. I loved having them here! This is us in L.A. at my favorite place Diddy Reese, which is where you can get an incredible icecream sandwich....for $1.50! You can't beat it!

Go Beach!

So this is bit overdue, but in May I graduated with my Masters degree in Social Work from California State University Long Beach. Yea! So glad to be done. Here's a couple of pics. One of me and my bearded husband and one of me and some of my classmates.

The amateur blogger....

So, I'm a real amateur when it comes to this blogging stuff. It seems like it is something that just becomes natural as soon as you breast feed. Since I don't have any kids, it's a bit tougher for me! ;) I just don't have the time to figure out how to fix the layout, but one of these days I will and I'll have all my pictures organized and making sense to the rest of the world! In the mean time, sorry, you'll just have to suffer through my chaos!

Europe Trip!

After we had been married about 5 months Dan and I went to Europe and backpacked for a month. We had a blast. We started the trip in London, where I served my mission. It was fun for me to have Dan go to the places and meet the people that are such a big part of my life. From London, we took a train through Paris to Switzerland, where we stayed for a few days. We celebrated Dan's 30th on top of the world in this tiny little village called Gimmelwald, Switzerland. I keep telling Dan that he's going to have to do something really fabulous for my 30th birthday next year!

The beginning....

Dan I met in Huntington Beach, California. We got engaged after dating for almost a year and then got married on April 9th, 2005.
