Me,Lo,Cheri,Britt,Beck,Dana

Doing what we do best, cookin and eatin!!

Marriage is wonderful, but sometimes you just need a good all girly weekend! Sean went to the dirty Desert with his friends and I went to the beautiful Mountains of San Bernadino. One of my amazing friend's from college has a cabin on Lake Arrowhead. So a group of 6 of us headed up the snowy hill. A little frightened by the stormy weather, we decided to forge the storm without chains and without boys to help. We were a little panicked when we were engulfed by a huge tidal wave on the 15 freeway. But, once we got to the base of the mountain, we knew we could make it in the huge excursion, Dana borrowed from her family. Once we arrived, we started a fire right away and let it burn all day and night. 

We cooked, read girly magazines, played a fun new dice game, watched movies, sang to the musical "Mama Mia" and had pillow talk all night.  It was super fun and very relaxing. We stayed in sweats and Uggs all weekend. I am so blessed by my friends. I love times like these where we can all snuggle on the couch and share our dreams and thoughts about life. God is the core of all of our hearts and it really makes us connected to one another in a way that will be faithful for a lifetime. I will always have these girls in my life and cant wait to see how God leads us.

Beautiful CORONADO!!

Sister's fam.. love them all!!

Last weekend we went on a Sunday afternoon bike ride.  

San Diego in the winter.. is unbeatable. It is so gorgeous. We are so blessed to get to live in such a beautiful city. We are really going to miss this place when we move at the end of the month. Well it was so fun riding along the coast with my sister's family and dad. Bella, my lil 4 y.o. niece, is amazing at bike riding.

She did such a good job. She rode her lil barbie bike all by herself. She was decked in pink from head to toe.  Such a little princess.. I love it. She is my favorite. Diego is Sean's favorite.. 

They both hold a very special spot in our hearts.

All Aboard!

Last night we had the privelege to go yachting!! It was a blast. One of my friend's Deb from college has a boyfriend who has a yacht. He invited all of us girls and husbands to have a fun dinner cruise last night. It was the funnest night.. We all contributed to a delicious mexican dinner and then enjoyed the cruise down the san diego harbor, under the coronado bridge and around San Diego. It was so much fun.. If we ever strike it rich we want to buy a boat for sure.. We spent the night playing fun games, dancing and eating dessert. 

Wow.. I am so lucky.. my friends equal pure FUN!

San Diego FUN!

Restaurant Week with Silberbergs and Spoelmans 

 Croce's Downtown San Diego- Great Food!!

Becky's Birthday Dinner

This past week was Restaurant Week in San Diego. It is so fun. Many of the tasty restaurants in San Diego participate. Basically they have prefixed menus for a prefixed amount. You receive an appetizer, main course, and dessert. It was so fun. So some of my best friends and husbands went out on Thursday night to enjoy a wonderful dinner together.

Plus on Wednesday of last week, it was my dear friend Becky's bday so all of us girls got together for some delicious pizza downtown. 

Gosh I love my friends, I hate that I have to leave them every 6 months. But they are the bestest and I know that even though I am gone a lot, I will never lose them!!

Love you gals!!

STOMP!!

Our dear friends, Karrie and Brian Pyke, called us up last friday and said that they had 2 extra tickets to Stomp! We accepted their generous offer right away and drove up to Orange county with them to enjoy some tasty sushi and see the exciting Broadway show- STOMP. We had awesome seats and the show was crazy. It is mind boggling in how these dancers dance, tap, and hit things to make incredible noise. We loved it, and we love the pykes. We are so blessed with amazing friends!

90% off- Target AMAZINGNESS!!!!

My friends don't call me MRS. CLAUS FOR NOTHING..  

Today was D-day at Target.. all christmas decorations were 90% off. I felt like a lil kid in a candy store..  I started at 8am in Rancho San diego.. hit jackpot and then journeyed over to Grossmont center to find that they were only 75% off.. so i quickly left....to go over to El Cajon.. where i found even more great decor!!

At this point I was sweating, because i was so amped and basically rolled out of bed with sweats, uggs and b-ball hat.. 

Anyways, I spent 120 dollars(4x the amount i budgeted, but sean didnt even care!) on decor and gifts for next year and saved a total 1200 Dollars..

My best deal was a 6 foot potted tree prelit originally $99.99- and I bought it for a wopping $9.99!!!!

Best deals ever!!

Well here are a couple pics of all my loot..

We better not live in the trailer at cmas next year or else it will be covered to the ceiling with christmas decor!!

Well my secret is out.. put it on the calendar.. it usually goes 90% the weekend after New Years!

SNOW & SLEDDING!!!

I know you are jealous of my outfit!

Simone this is so fun!

The original roomies!

Sean and Joel having way to much fun!

Best friends

Best friends too

This is soo scary!!

When we were at Arrowhead for New Years.. we enjoyed the next day in the snow!! 

We went sledding all day and it was so much fun because we never have snow in Southern California. 

I also got to wear my friend, becky's snow pants that went up to my chest and were super sexy..

My friends told me I looked like a lumberjack/jane because i had a plaid shirt on with high pants, brown uggs( that could be mistaken for construction boots) and brown leather work gloves.. It was pretty much hilarious! Ill be honest though.. i was scared every time i went down.. Maybe because the night before.. sean and i ran into a tree twice and i got some major ice rash on my side..
