A night out


Aaron & I at Molloy's 2 years and 5 months after meeting eachother!


Julia, Me, Jasmine, Jennifer, & Ella


When Aaron and I first got together we used to go to Molloy's all the time. It's a cool little bar in South San Francisco with a lot of history. But since we are married and want to avoid drama, we rarely go anymore. But we got the itch to go hang out there once again. Good times!

January Birthdays


My beautiful seester-in-law


Yours truly!



My in-laws!


My nephew Silas

My sister in law Crystal and I both have birthdays in December. With Christmas and everything, it is hard to get us all together to celebrate. So this January my in-laws took us to a restaurant in Pacifica called Nick's to celebrate! I actually liked celebrating my b-day in January better because I felt like I had a never ending birthday celebration!! My in-laws totally over did it on the gifts too! I felt spoiled rotten, but happy too! Thanks guys for an awesome time!!

The Tooth!!!


Ok lets discuss this. Christian is 4! Why the heck is hit front tooth about to fall out? We practice good dental hygiene at our casa. They say he has an extra tooth, but I still think it is weird...it was so fast and his teeth shifted all over so now he looks so funny to me!

Fat America


Today was day 1 of my "lifestyle change." Last night Aaron and I were about to sit down to watch the 1st episode of the Biggest Loser when we got a knock on our door. It was a guy from our insurance company who was here to draw our blood, get us to pee in a cup, and last but not least...TO WEIGH US! I got on the scale and wanted to have a break down. I weigh 15 more pounds than I did when I met my hubs. So then the guy left and we watched our show. It was by far the most eye opening episode yet. It portrays what has happened to America. With fast food, to supersize, America has accepted obesity. I see more chubby overweight people than skinny people. I am depressed because of my weight. I don't feel good about myself. So today was the day. For breakfast I had a banana and a nutrigrain bar as well as a liter of water. For lunch I had a 6 inch turkey sandwich on wheat with mustard and veggies, and for dinner I had whole wheat pasta with a light red sauce. Then Aaron and I went to the gym. All I have to say is that I am OUT OF SHAPE! My goal is to lose 20 pounds. When I reach my goal, I will share what my starting weight was!! :) Wish me luck!!

Pretty bothered...

I don't know if the news I am about to share with you is something that the media in your neck of the woods has already shared with you, but I need to talk about it. The San Francisco Bay area has a thing called BART....it is like the subway. Well on New Years day in Oakland, a BART officer shot and killed a 22 year old black man. When I first heard of it, my first impression was that they guy must have been drunk and acting all psychotic and now all these people want to call the cop racist because the guy was black who died. Then the video taken from another BART passengers cell phone came out. As the guy was laying face down with his hands cuffed behind his back, the camera rolled. He laid on the grown for a few moments and did not move the entire time. After a few minutes, the cop pulls his weapon and fires a shot into the guys back. THE GUY DID NOT A SINGLE THING WRONG!! He was lying face down in the pavement obeying orders and got shot for no flippin' reason! This totally infuriates me. Now BART is trying to say that the officer was confused and that he was firing his tazer gun. I am pissed that BART can't just man up and say they screwed up! I hope the family of the guy who died sues the pants off of BART and I hope that the BART officer who shot and killed him goes to prison FOREVER! Check out the story and tell me what you think!!

Gourmet Dinner


I get off work at 5:00pm everyday and my husband gets off work at 2:00pm everyday. After 9 hours of work, I get home and am beat! My slow cooker is like my best friend. It assists me in creating dinners without much work. My husband has a really hard time cooking. He tries, but his efforts aren't really successful. He can't make scrambled eggs, can't brown meat, and can barely boil water on his own. But tonight, I came home to a surprise. Aaron's friend Matt went to culinary school. Aaron called him for some advice. I walked in the door and was greeted by Aaron and he had a glass of wine for me. Then I walked into the dining room and saw the gourmet dinner on the table! I was so shocked and impressed at the same time! Aaron made chicken balentine. He got boneless skinless chicken breasts and beat them until they were flat. He put prosciutto, jack cheese, bell peppers, and onions on top of the meat and seasoned it with salt, pepper, and garlic. Then he rolled it until it was in the shape of a burrito and wrapped it in foil. After it cooked, he covered it in a white wine sauce that he made. It was soooo good and I am so proud of my husband for making me this great dinner. Thanks baby!
