My mom had eye surgery the Tuesday before Easter and couldn’t join the family festivities because she was still recovering {i.e. had to keep her head down} so we decided to surprise her with a little impromptu family celebration of our own. And she was very excited to have us there with her. Here are …
At The Movies …Take Me Home Tonight
I love movies. I do not love movie theaters. I hate crowds. We went to see Take Me Home Tonight {which, if you’ve been following me for even a short period of time must know that I’m kind of in love with all things 80’s} at 5:30 on a Tuesday evening. Perfection. And when we …
And now more than ever . . . we want to live by the beach
We stayed at The Oceana Hotel in Santa Monica and it was glorious. It’s a small boutique hotel that looks as if it used to be an apartment complex converted to luxury hotel suites. It was far enough from the major areas to be quiet but close enough to walk everywhere which is just so …
A Little Stay Cay at the Beach
The husband and I decided to celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary by the beach …so, we’re in Santa Monica. Yes, it’s only a 30 minute drive from our house {unless there’s traffic, which there wasn’t} but now we have an ocean view! We just returned from dinner at BOA and are going to take …
3 Years Married Today
smasshhhhhh …tipsy via Sake here on his 33rd b-day Wow. I can’t even believe how quickly time flies. Three years ago today we eloped to Vegas and said “I do” in front of only a Judge …a Lady Judge who just so happened to be from our home town. Oh the irony. I’m not sure …
Summer Lovin’
This is one of my absolute favorite photos of my husband and me. I took it July 4th last year but just cropped and edited it to black and white moments ago …and now I love it even more. I originally posted it July 5, 2008 when I had about 20 unique visitors a day. …

Our Marriage Wedding Story…
Two years ago, today, my best friend and I got married. This was our song … It was just the two of us and it was amazing. The most fabulous thing about eloping is that you do not have to worry about anything else {or anyone else} but the person you are going to say …
The Sniz
Yesterday afternoon my husband and I had our first “together” visit to the gynecologist to make sure we’re doing everything right as we embark on the next phase of our lives: baby making. {and a routine yearly check-up for me} Needless to say, this was not the most comfortable situation for Pep {though he met …
The Best of Vegas 2008
So… we went to Vegas… again. This is our annual Vegas trip/photo documentary. The Drive: I know we’re getting close when I start seeing billboard signs for lame shit. This one was rotating LeRoy’s – and I got lucky and caught it before we drove by. This may be one of my favorite photos ever. …
June 1st 2006 // My 80s Themed Roller Skating Disco Party
For my 30th b-day, the husband and I rented out Skateland in Northridge and threw and 80’s themed roller disco. It was hilariously amazing and totally awesome! This was one of my most memorable birthdays because during the hokey-pokey, while I was standing in the middle of a circle of our friends, turning myself around, …
love is all you need.
I am so in love with my husband that sometimes when I think about it [the love] my eyes well up with tears …the good kind, like when you’re watching a really great and probably sappy romantic comedy (& possibly the “meet-cute”). I feel so lucky. I used to watch those movies wishing I had …
