Shanna's 24th Birthday Par-tay!

Our dear friend Shanna turned 24 this past weekend! We through her a little shin-dig at our house and I made her a GIANT cupcake! We took a cab to the city and went to Club Suite 181! It was my first time there! So far it has been my favorite place to dance in the city! It is large and there is tons of room to dance! The only bad thing is, it has no AC and we were sweating so much! NASTY! Some girl was a little to intoxicated and tried to do the running man like it was 1985. It was funny until her big ol' stilletto heel went right into my ankle and blood started spewing from my leg! The highlight of the night was meeting Shannon from Danity Kane! She was there too! Jessica and I were so excited to take a picture with her! And just FYI: my husband did not go out in a white wife beater! We took that picture before he was finished getting dressed! :)

My Husband!

My amazing husband is turning 30 on April 25! I want to put together something phenomenal for him because he is an awesome husband! I need ideas! I have a few, but some are just way too expensive! Any suggestions???

Our new addition!!!

On Saturday morning I woke up and decided that I really needed a companion. I looked in the San Francisco Chronicle and saw an add for a female pug that was 3 months old! I had to go check it out! Meet Leila!

Who Should I Vote For??

Ok, so I have never really been one who cares too much about politics. But as I am getting older and becoming a real adult, I thought that it is about time I get into it. I am a Christian. Not the best one, but I am one. Therefore, I know I am supposed to vote for Big John for moral reasons. But then I watched my first Presidential Debate the other night and discovered that Obama enticed me. He is articulate and well spoken. John McCain irritated me because he kept saying "My friends" over and over again, and he studdered and seemed that he couldn't get his point across. All of my Christian friends say that Obama says all the right things but has no plan. I just look at what a hole George Bush put us in and I wonder if I should jump ship and become a Democrat. It is hard to view my "conservative" opinion in the Bay area because everyone here is just so freakin' liberal. Who are you voting for and why?? What about prop 8? What are your views??

Trick-or-Treat!!

The other day we went to pick out Christian's Halloween costume. I will NOT be the steppie that gets my step son a costume at Target that everyone will have! So I did some research...and this is what I found at Babystyle. LOVE IT! And Christian loved it too so that's a plus! We figured this would be his last year in a cute, babyish costume. I cannot wait until he gets married so I can embarrass him with pictures of his childhood! :)

The Pilots Wife

I started this book while on my honeymoon at the end of August. I was so excited to start reading again, because I have discovered that being a married woman that works full time, does NOT have time to read. So I was kind of bummed that this is the book I chose. Although there were some crazy twists in the story, it got off to such a slow start. I have always been a fan of Oprah's Book Club and that's where I got the name of this one. Have any of you read this? If so, what is your opinion on it? What do you recommend I read next?

Just one of those days...

Today was one of those days where I just honestly did NOT want to get up to come to work. As I layed underneath my warm covers I thought to myself, what could really happen if I didn't go? What lie could I make up or what story could I tell? As I sit at my desk I HATE that I am here. I yearn for my bed. It is a chilly day here in San Francisco and I wish so badly that I could snuggle up with my sheets!! I am just simply exhausted. Drained. Run down. I wonder if it is all the stress of my wedding, honeymoon, finances, and death of my dad creeping up on me. I still haven't grieved yet and I don't think I am going to get the chance. I need a mental health day so badly! What keeps you motivated when you are ready to just throw in the towel??
