You're fired!

If you haven't updated your blog this week...you are FIRED from my blog friends. Come on people. Let's get crackin. Everyday I click on your name, hoping, praying for something to read! Nothing. Let's go. UPDATE.

Big girls don't cry.

Yes they do Fergie and Frankie Valli. The past year has been a struggle to be able to complete my student teaching here in California instead of Utah. I was told a year and half ago that I could do it...hence the move to CA. Seriously, everyday I fight it and try to make it work, I talk to 22345234 of my people and try to come up with a solution. With another school year approaching, this was the week it has to happen. I was and am determined. I called all my 23423 people to tell them whats up, and of course no one seemed to be in town, or even country. So, tonight, after another missed communication, and failure, I laid down on the couch and cried like a baby. It was a year of frustration coming out. And then sure enough, just after Matt had calmed me down, and I composed myself, I got the call I had been waiting for. Nothing is figured out yet, but I made progress. My little cry sess- worth it!

Hi, my name is Ani and I am a blogger.

67%How Addicted to Blogging Are You?

Mingle² - Dating Site

Matt said the other day, "You are addicted" and I said, "It is just a phase, like facebook, it will be over soon." I think I was lying a little bit! How addicted are you? I
ps. I am secretly pissed the number was not higher.

PINKBERRY

Well, I thought I should dedicate a whole post just to Pinkberry. It was......AMAZING. Not only was the actual product great, but the decor was really unique. I loved it! So much, that I snatched Danielle's camera and snapped some shots to post on here. I was a little sceptical when my mom, who loves frozen yogurt, chose to go to Cold Stone while we got Pinkberry. But I really liked it. It was so different, you just need to try it!

I got the original with raspberries and chocolate chips...yum.


Funny (and expensive) little things you can buy...


Lighting... cool huh?

Girl Time!

My sister might have had butterflies (see her blog) because of the unknown...but as we were planning our ambush while getting off at "Haven Ave" my stomach was turning! Why does that happen?! So funny! Danielle is turning 30 this coming Saturday! Her last birthday also happened to be my WEDDING day!!!! So, she obviously did not get the attention one deserves on their birthday. This year we are trying to make up for it! And 30 is exciting! Manicures and Pedicures, shopping, Cheesecake Factory, and pinkberry all resulted in a very funnnnn day! Happy Birthday Danielle!

L.O.V.E.

Today we had a girls day for Dani's Bday (will blog about tomorrow) and we stopped at Anthopologie, and it was fun to see my mom have her first Antho experience. Oh the possibilities! I picked up some cute "Fultter Dishtowels" that look ever so cute hanging from my oven at the moment.

And my fav. was this amazing iron "T" (for Taylor), I may post a pic later, I couldn't find a pic online! Gotta love that store. There was on of those "must have" items, you know what I mean...you just don't WANT it, you NEED it. Yeah, it was a pillow, and it was amazing. It was and I think still is, calling my name. May save up for it.


Can't afford the $200 dresses, $495 vases, but it is fun to look anyway!

Friday Night Project

Ever since my last trip to Ikea, I couldn't stop thinking about those amazing textiles. So, I got the idea off of some great design blog to cover some cork board with fabric. Prefect! While Matt surfed, I was a busy bee!

Picked out some "neato" fabric...


Covered the cork board...


And WAAALLAAA!


Up close!


I am trying to add some more color/patterns to the apartment! I think this will add a little splash of excitment!

New Look

What do you think? I know sometimes it appears different on other peoples computers. Give me your suggestions!!

The BEST news week!

This week has been a doozie! Great news! Danielle, my sister, is prego with #4!!!!!! And I couldn't be happier!!!
AND...if that wasn't enough, Jenna Vela informed me that she is having twins!!!! BABIES BABIES EVERYWHERE!!!! I love it!

Holy Bathing suit!!!!!!!????????

What the shizzzzzzz?!?!

The pictures say it all...

We got to watch Addie, our niece, this weekend and we had a blast and I think she did too!

We took her to the mall and out to dinner at Ruby's


We learned a few things...Babies drink a LOT of milk.


And when they drink TOO much their bellies get really big and really hard!


We learned that anything can be a toy: a nano


and Uncle Matt's leg hairs...ouch!


Addie thinks her Uncle Matt is hilarious!


Me and Addie at church


That look is too funny!


The most important thing we learned this weekend: make sure babies are done pooping before putting them in the bath! Addie will thank me later that I did not whip out the camera for that one! Even though it was tempting!

"Silky G"

Why did I not take a picture?! Because I was scared I was going to miss a second of this hilarious man who I call "Silky G". It is 9:34 Cant find a parking spot and then I spot an cute OLD man walking, if you can call it that, across the street, he stops at his old, amazing, and powder blue Oldsmobile station wagon. He is holding a napkin in his left hand. It is now 9:36. He checks out the side of his car to make sure there are no scratches, dints, etc. 9:38. He opens the driver door, looks inside. Closes the driver door. Looks around. Very slowly opens the door to the back seat. He places the napkin in the back seat. 9:40. Looks around. Doesn't see me waiting with my blinker on. Closes back door. Opps...did not close all the way. Opens it again and "slams" it, or his attempt at that. Satisfied, he opens the driver door. Gets one cheek on the seat, waits, and then slides the other on. 9:42. Who knows what he did from 9:42-9:44. But...all I know is that when he pulled out and I saw his license plate that read "SILKY G"...I realized I had NOT just wasted 10 minutes watching an old man, and anyone who drives a power blue Oldsmobile, and cruises around with SILKY G on his bum, is awesome beyond words. If only I knew what it meant. If only I took a picture.....

Love it!

Ok, so I have now read Twlight and New Moon! They so so freaking good! I can't wait for #3 to come out! Sorry Mattie!!!! Poor boy!!!

Still feeling a little nauseous from Cliff Hanger, Mega Drop, and Twist and Whirl....regretting the "juicy" hamburger...but how can you not love the fair? Especially the OC Fair! We originally went to see Ziggy Marley (Matt even wore his "Listen to Bob Marley" T-shirt) but we ended up just playing on all the rides and eating! Fun date night!


Cliff Hanger



Not a flattering picture...but how can you look good when you are posing with a nasty hamburger?!


Matt getting ready for his "Mega Drop" !!! I went once...I was almost crying at the top and screaming "I don't want to do it anymore!!!"


Twist and Whirl.....I thought it would never end!


Me and my cute husband! (He always looks slightly scared when we take pictures of ourselves!)

Sunday Fun

Matt and I went to my sister's house yesterday. It was so fun! Ty gave his first talk in Primary and did a great job! We had an amazing dinner by Danielle and the best dessert! So Yummy! (see her blog for the recipe). We were having a little too much fun with the camera, doing my favorite trick (blowing raseberries and catching your lips in action with the camera! Look at Danielles to see some funny ones.) They are a fun bunch! Matt and Addie hung out all day, later he told me she is his favorite (shhhh) and he could play with her for hours!!! We had such a great time with the Edmonds crew. Can't wait till next time!
