The Last Couple Months

yeah...I know, I know...I really suck at this blogging thing. I don't know why it's so hard for me to sit down and actually blog. Probably because 1. I don't think our life is that exciting. 2. nothing new is really happening 3. I'm too lazy. I can't wait for the day when we finally find a house and I can blog about that. Now that will be fun!

To fill you in on some of the fun events over the past couple months, here are some pictures. I promise I will try and be better at updating this thing.

At the end of July our friend gave us some great tickets to the Angels game. They were down in the lower section right near 1st base. It was a really fun game to be at and of course, as you can see, Jeff couldn't take a normal picture! haha


At the end of July, most of you know, we had an opportunity to lead a team on a mission trip to New Orleans. There were 20 people on the team including us, and we went and worked on rebuilding 2 different homes, working with a non-profit organization called the St. Bernard Project It was an amazing time serving alongside everyone and really encouraging knowing that at the end of the summer two families who were displaced by Katrina would be able to move into a home at the end of the summer. Here is the White Family home that Jeff and I worked on during that week. As you can see in the picture, it was super hot down there!


Since then, we have celebrated my 25th birthday and also been up to Washington to celebrate Kendall and Jared's engagement. I am so excited to have a brother!

Here's a picture of Emily and I on the beach before my birthday dinner.


Here's a picture of Kendall and I at the engagement party. It was such a fun time celebrating!


Well, I think that's it for now. Hopefully I'll be back soon! :)

Weekend in Arizona

Last weekend we went to Arizona for many different reasons! We celebrated 8 birthdays, spent time with family, and were able to see Laney and Kristin one last time for a while.

It was a weekend full of food family and fun! One of the many highlights was Laney and her songs she would sing us. I have posted one for your enjoyment.

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!
