things that i've done this week...
- searched in my purse for my keys with my right hand… while holding my keys in my left hand
- forgot that my last name changed (you know, four years ago…)
- put the sheets in the dryer and walked away without turning it on
- got out of my car at the grocery store before turning it off
- while playing a game on my phone wondered if I had gotten any text messages and turned to look...

hunger has just taken on a whole new meaning
i just laid on my couch for an hour (only 45 minutes after finishing breakfast mind you) wondering if i was coming down with the flu, or my stomach was trying to kill me, or if my breakfast was poisoned, or if the baby hates bananas… nope… none of the above… i was just hungry… ravenous… starving… 45 minutes after breakfast!
little tummy growls? a slight...

why are cheez-its so darn delicious?!
because I’m pregnant. That’s why.
No really though… I have a bun in the oven!!!!
13 weeks and counting… <3
(baby does like cheez-its though. a lot. also kiwi-strawberry snapple, jello, pasta, strawberries, yogurt, cheese, milk and nana’s broccoli cheese soup. among other things. no veggies allowed though- against mommy’s wishes.)

I left my heart in San Francisco
While I was in Stockton for my sister’s birthday my dear friend came out to visit me because she’s moving to Germany and it had been about 5 years since we had seen each other. We soon realized that to the month, it had been 20 years since we first became friends… boy did we feel old! We decided that to celebrate our “20 year friendiversary” we would venture to San...

Birthday Camping
Since my sister lives about 5 hours away from me I’m trying to make it a tradition to go visit her on her birthday every year. Last year for the big 3-0 her best friend and I drove up there and threw her a surprise party and this year she decided that she wanted to go camping. So camping we went! ;)
Camping is amazing… nothing to do, nothing to worry about, just enjoying nature and...

hello world!
welp… i’m taking 17 units this semester… and thus i am wayyy behind in the blogosphere!
but today (hopefully), i plan to change that! all geared up and (almost) ready to go are a few posts on what’s happened recently. everything from a much-need and long overdue visit with a very good friend of 20 years, to my brother’s wedding and a craft explosion this past...

Sister of the Groom
This past weekend my brother got married! It was amazing to say the least and I have lots and lots to share about the joyous occasion (and how sad it was to leave!) but just thought I’d post a pic for now!
Love these two ;)

the (other) love of my life: italy.
Seven years ago (that long, really?) I went on the trip of a lifetime. Ten days in Italy… split between Venice, Verona, Florence, Assisi, Rome (& Vatican City) and Pompeii. It was heaven. (No really, I’m convinced that heaven consists of a never-ending vacation in Italy, just wait and see…) Being the photo-nut that I am I took along with me 22 rolls of film in a giant ziploc...

I'm on a boat!
Yesterday my hubby’s boss invited us out on his b-e-a-u-tiful boat to celebrate the Fourth! We had so much fun hanging out in the sun and surf all day.
We were the first to arrive, so naturally we took it upon ourselves to snap some fun pictures…
How gorgeous is Santa Barbara?! Love it here :)
Stud. His first time paddleboarding and he was a pro… so typical.

"I like the way you move"
Yesterday was a perfect day. So perfect in fact, that today I feel hungover… and it’s not from drinking. Still trying to figure out how that works. It probably has something to do with sixteen roller-coaster rides. Yep… sixteen.

Mother's Day
This year I wanted to do something special for my mom, but it’s slightly challenging from 1,000 miles away. It seems that the older I get, the more I realize all that my parents did for me… and I’m pretty sure that my mom is some sort of warrior angel who can conquer the world with her pinky and not break a sweat. I remember when I was in high school she was telling me that I...

i don't like the beach...
wait, before you scoff and think, how could she?! let me clarify…
i love the beach… love the sand, love the waves, love the water, love swimming/splashing around… i love all of it. except in santa barbara. why, you ask? because the sand is dirty, there’s piles of seaweed with millions of sand fleas flying around them all over the place, you get tar on your feet if you walk...

i think i'm addicted to being sore.
it’s just not a good workout unless it hurts the next day! yesterday i burned over 1,000 calories in my workout, and today i am feelin’ it!!
i love it.
btw… did you know that 10 minutes of vigorous jumping on a trampoline burns 200 calories? yep. it does. google it. (burns calories 3x faster than jogging at 5.5mph) i jumped for 35 minutes yesterday (among other things)…...

water for elephants
i. loved. this. book.
love love loved it. yep… i went there.
i feel like this book is so well rounded, like every part of me could like it… the adventurer in me, the romance lover, the animal lover and so on… just all around great. i’d highly recommend this to anyone- it’s really very entertaining. i’ve had multiple people tell me they loved it, read it in one...

Off to Stockton!!
Headed to Stockton today to have a sewing extravaganza week with my sister…super excited!

oh what a week this has been!
the rain. oh the rain… will it ever go away? at this point i’m not sure it will. our house has been leaking water from all sides and it’s quite the time-consumer to constantly watch/clean up after. water is so frustrating! it’s been coming up through the foundation, dripping out of light fixtures, forming pouches between the paint and drywall (DRYwall…oh the irony),...
