A night with Emily and Marco

So I keep getting asked to blog but really there is nothing to blog about. Jeff and I are still working in the same jobs, we're still looking for a house and that's about it. Our life isn't really that exciting. So...I have to resort to blogging about my friends' kids! haha. Jeff was out of town all last week and on Thursday Galel left town too so I spent the night with Marco and Emily. We went to the park and had a fun bathtime. It was so fun because it's not something that we'd usually be able to do. I love them and was so glad to have a little slumber party. You can't really beat waking up to this smiling face.

Day off and Picnic!

Last Friday I took the day off and went to Huntington Beach to meet Emily and Marco for a picnic. It was so fun to be outside, be at the beach, and watch all the people there. Trust me...there are some crazy folks. We had our picnic, then walked through the farmers market, then walked around Main Street. It was so much fun!

Fun time with Laney

A couple weekends ago Keith, Nancy, Kaelyn, Kristin, and Laney came out to California to help finish moving Jeff's grandma out of her house in Burbank. It had been a crazy week for me because it was Easter week, so on Saturday I let Kristin and Jeff go help and I kept Laney here with me! We were able to go to the store, color Easter Eggs, and go on the Ferris Wheel and the Merry Go Round. We had a blast!

Sushi Night

This past Tuesday night one of my friends Ashley came over and we made home-made sushi. We've done it once before but the first time was a big adventure. We didn't know where to go to get good fish or any of the supplies and guess where we ended up getting it all in the end? Albertsons! haha. this time we prepared a little more. I went to Whole Foods and got some tuna, salmon, and crab. We also BBQd chicken. We made all sorts of rolls. Here are some pictures!

Fun Visits!

This last week we were able to see my mom, dad, Kendall and Jared. Last weekend they all came out to Palm Desert and we went out there with them for the weekend. Then my mom and dad drove out here to Long Beach on Thursday to stay with us for a few days. They came to work and we got to go out to lunch on Thursday, then we hung out around here Friday, then went to the Chocolate Festival on 2nd Street yesterday with Megan, Michael, Emily, Marco, and Galel. It was soo much fun to have them here. As always, they spoiled us by cleaning the apartment and doing dishes and helping do other things around here. It was hard to say goodbye this morning but we will see them again in a couple weeks! Love you mom and dad!

Kyle and Sarah's Wedding

A couple weeks ago Jeff's cousin Kyle got married. He married Sarah who he met at Biola. Their wedding was great! We are so happy for them! We were also able to see some of the family's really close friends Serina and Steve...it was so good to see them!

It's Christmas Time!

Wow...have the last few been busy. Jeff has been in the middle of a smaller shut down at work and has been working at least 6 days a week, and I have been working about the same. It's been super fun but we're both ready for our upcoming vacation. Here's our cute little Christmas tree! It has been an interesting Christmas season this year for me at least. With my new job I have a lot more "holiday" responsibilities. I helped oversee both the Thanksgiving in a Bag and the Giving Tree events this year, which took a lot of work. This week I will be busy making sure we have the correct amount of volunteers to help out with the Christmas Eve services and organizing them as they arrive. We'll leave Wednesday night after the last service to drive to Arizona. I look forward to this busy week and to celebrating the birth of Jesus.
