Date Night

Trench coat dress, gray tights, black slouchy western boots that I can't stop wearing and my gold blue rhinestones feather necklace.

Testing out my front facing camera on my phone

Took my love out to dinner on Friday night.  The poor guy had never been to BJ's and experienced a pizookie and the plethora of beers they offer!  We had the red velvet pizookie which was amazing.  They added white chocolate chips to it :)  My man ate half of it before I even had a chance to get my phone out for a picture, haha!  He always cracks me up.

Worn out

Been kind of out of it lately.  Not sure why, maybe it's the overwhelming wedding details or increased "exercise" (running the dog every other day for only 15 mins at max).  Whatever it is, it's wearing on me.  Last weekend I basically slept for 2 days straight.  Who does that in their mid 20's?!  Geez I'm such a g-ma.  Anyways I'm going to try and be more productive from now on.  Oh and drink more coffee :)  I can't seem to function normally without it!

Can't forget the little details...Sail boat earrings!

Finally wore my new shirt out today!  It looks a little nautical so I decided to pair it with my sail boat earrings and a real working clock necklace (kind of looks like a compass).  Found the shirt at a great store in the Topanga Mall a few weeks ago called Q.  Can't wait to go back some day soon!

Also bought a new phone today, the HTC One 4G.  It's so much lighter and faster than my old HTC myTouch slide 3G.  The camera is the main reason I bought it.  No shutter lag and HD 1080p video camera!  It has a slow mo option that I can't wait to try out!!

Love the quality of this new camera phone :)

Part of Something Bigger

He had to be discharged before he could reenlist.

Standing by my man :)

I even got my very own certificate of appreciation!

Reenlisted + a flag!

"I love me" plaque.

I took part in something bigger than myself today.  My love reenlisted this morning and asked me to be part of his ceremony.  It was nerve wracking and gratifying all at the same time.  Makes me so fortunate to be part of such a big moment in his life.  He makes me so proud and some days I can't even believe we've made it through so much together (2 deployments, countless field exercises, school and last minute change of plans).  Can't wait to marry this man!

Accessories:

Shells

The flash kind of blurred out the details of the shells but I get a new phone with  an amazing camera tomorrow so hopefully my photog skills get an upgrade!

Getting Serious

Puppy sandwich!

Ran the dog this morning (3:45am before work)!  This past weekend made me realize I need to get serious about getting healthy.  Not just to fit into my wedding dress and look amazing but to be smarter about what I do and eat.  I've been slacking for too many years now.  It HAS to stop.  So here we go :)

4 year absence...Disney welcomes me back :)

Yummy alcoholic drinks at California Adventure in the upstairs lounge!  It hit me so fast!

Had a wonderful weekend with some of my fav girls in the whole wide world!  It's wonderful to finally have the time and means to get away for a couple days.  A vacation has been long overdue!  Can't wait for next time :)
