Catch Up Continued...

A couple more pictures from the wedding...Me with my bouquet, and a front view of my hair, ish.The great escape! Always the newlywed's favorite part of the reception ;)

The Monday after the Wedding Nick and I went with his family to the Ducks game, and I wore a crazy orange shirt. Because of my crazy orange shirt, I was selected to participate in the trivia challenge! They put your face on the jumbotron and ask you a trivia question about the ducks. If you answer right, you win a prize for your row. If you answer wrong, the row in front of yours wins the prize. No pressure or anything. Well, I answered right (thanks to lots of help from the loud people around me shouting the answer...) and our row got tickets to Improv-Ice, a figure skating thing that actually sounds pretty cool.
The orange shirt that ended up leading to my face big as life on the Jumbo TronNick and I at the game. I kind of look drunk in this picture.

Then Wednesday was my birthday! Yay!! Nick made me breakfast in bed, and this:
Is what I had to deal with. A little begger waiting for me to share. Lol. Then we went to Disneyland!! WAHOO!! We got pineapple floats from the Dole stand, mmmmm.... I love Pineapple!!

And of course I tried, like always, and failed, like always, to pull the sword out of the stone. We had so much fun, and got on all the rides with practically no wait. It was super hot, but I spent most of the day soaking wet from the rapids ride in California Adventure that I didn't even notice the heat :) Oh, and if you notice my shirt, I'm sporting the sweet shirt I bought at the love show. It says "All you need is Love" and then has the little The Beatles logo below. Its super cute.

All of you that made it this far, congrats! You rock!!

Playing Catch Up

I'm going to try and keep this brief. I have alot to catch up on... We went on a work outing to the Murder Mystery Cafe in San Diego. It was hilarious. We all had a really great time.

The next morning my mom and I left for Las Vegas. We went to the gift show to merchandise her shop for Christmas. It was SOOOO much fun. While were were there, my mom surprised me by taking me to dinner and a show. We went to dinner at a place called Red Square in Mandalay Bay, and it was AMAZING. I had the truffle and lobster fetuccini. I also had a virgin "martini." :) Then we went to see Cirque du Soleil's Love, the show based on the music by The Beatles (Jealous? You should be.) It was incredible. I've never seen anything like it.

My truffle and lobster fetuccini, complete with lobster claw. My mom and I in front of the Love sign.

The Beatles were all jumping, so I wanted to jump too. Only its really difficult to do in 4" stilletos. Luckily my mom managed to snap this pic on the first try, so I didn't have to try it again.

At dinner. YUM!!

My virgin martini. It was SOOO yummy.

After Vegas, it was time to switch into wedding mode. My dear friend Megan was getting married, and I was one of her bridesmaids!! We had a super fun bachelorette slumber party at a beach house in Laguna. We went dancing at The Sandpiper, and it was a blast. There was a great little regae band playing and we jammed all night, then walked back to the house and stayed up late playing cards. The next day we went to the beach and ran last minute wedding errands.

At the Sandpiper. Super fun!!

And Saturday was the BIG DAY!! Megan looked radiant, Thomas looked dashing, and all of the bridesmaids looked gorgeous.

Just waiting for the big moment to arrive and trying to keep cool.

Picture of the back ish of my hair. It looked really great.

Vacation :)

My vacation starts tomorrow. We're going on a work outing to a murder mystery dinner show tomorrow night. Sunday I leave for Las Vegas with my mom. We're going to the gift show and I'm going to help her merchandise her store :) After we get home, I get to do bridesmaid stuff for the rest of the week! Thursday is the rehersal dinner and bachelorette slumber party. Friday is an all day bridesmaid primping day, and the wedding is Saturday!! I am sooooo excited. It's going to be a busy busy week, and I'll probably need a vacation from my vacation when its all over, but it will be worth it. Yay for vacations packed full of fun!!
