Recording weight

These are K's feet This is Kris. I blurred the image because I haven't asked K or Kris about putting their weight out in the web for all to see. I'll ask them and I might update the pictures. Bottom line is we decided to start recording our weight last night and we will be recording weekly. K and Kris want to lose weight, I want to keep mine. I gained weight after I got married and then I lost way too much, now I gained some again and I like...

Happy Birthday Alayna!

Our Friend Alayna had her birthday today so we went to dinner with her. We dined at Urban bar & grill and the food was great, the service was wonderful and we had a great time celebrating Alayna. Just because every night has to end like that we stopped at yogurtland on our way home and my K got himself a treat. Happy Birthday Alayna, we love yo...

Dessert is awesome

Last night we went to Extraordinary Desserts with other 3 couples. It was so nice to talk to have amazing food with great friends. Brandon and Mel had an amazing meringue tart kind of thing with fresh fruit, it was so good. Jon and Christina had lemon bread pudding that was outstanding (my second favorite) Sam and Jen are goofballs, ordered a chocolate cheesecake but made sure there was chocolate in their teeth before we took a picture. K...

Unlimited soup and salad

My K and I love Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana with their amazing bread sticks and yummi salad. So Sunday right after church we decided we didn't want to cook and istead we wanted to visit Olive Garden. I had two bowls of soup and I wish I would have been able to have a third, it's just sooooo good....

More shopping

I arranged the clothes for the kids at church today. We are still missing a few things but all in all we were able to get them most everything. I love God's church, it's just so wonderful to see people come together to bless others. I will divide the clothes and put them in fun gift bags and we will give them to the rightful owners this weekend. I love that I can't shop for myself yet I have been able to go shoppin...

Shopping for kids

So K and I were asked if we wanted to bless some of the kids that go to our church by buying them some school clothes, and since we love kids and we have built a relationship with the church kids we decided to do it. There is nothing more gratifying than blessing someone else, especially a kid. Since we are in a bit of a tight financial spot right now we asked pool momma to help us out with a little bit and she gladly agreed. She's so wonderful. Here...

A pedicure from a challenge

My hubby and started a 30-day challenge today. Nope it has nothing to do with our plan to lose weight, instead it has to do with our marriage. A couple of Mondays ago K and I were in LA and we got in an argument where he said I don't really listen to him and sometimes I don't even remember the things I've said. We talked it over, got frustrated, threw fits, stomped our feet (ok I am the only one that does that), apologized to each other, kissed...

Yumm

K and I have been trying to lose weight together. Since we got married we've both gained weight, and even though my Mom is loving that my pants don't fall off anymore I don't like it (specially considering we aren't buying clothes for us). So I've been cooking healthy food and we've been working out together. Today I made garlic lemon mahi mahi over a bed of farfalle with a garlic, tomato sauce. I was impressed, it turned out pretty good! I think...

Bye Bye Dan =/

Our friend Dan left yesterday to go to Oklahoma so we said goodbye to him at church. He's such a cool guy, we'll ready miss him. We are praying he misses the ocean and beautiful weather so much that he comes back soon. Bye Dan, San Diego misses yo...

Happy Birthday P. Katie

Our pastor turned 35 yesterday. so our pastor, her husband, had a surprise for her at church with a cute little video and cake for everybody. She was truly surprised and we were so excited she had no idea. Their daughters made cards and a hat and helped her with the gifts. And later that night he had a second surprise, he had people at their home decorating the place so when she came home after lunch she found us all yelling Happy Birthday! Little...

I got a gift, K got a treat

My cousin Kris has been staying with us for the last 2 and 1/2 months. It's been so much fun having around, learning more about him and having the opportunity to share about Jesus with him. We feel honored God has allowed for us to spend this time with our cousin. He feels bad he's been here for so long (so silly!) so he decided to buy us a small present to show his appreciation. I got the cutest shirt ever, making the right bow took me about 15...

I wish...

I was browsing through fashion websites because I like fashion (duh) and ran across this picture at The Sartorialist of a 16 yr old girl. I don't know if you feel the same way I do but I wish all 16 year old girls would take advice from her. She's my favorite 16 yr old, she looks sophisticated, cool and beautifu...

Baby names

I have been working at Urban for a few months now but the last 2 have been by far the funnest, that's what happens when you add an 8yr old and a 5yr old to your day. My church is pretty new so the offices are in my pastor's apartment and for the last couple months their daughter's have been on vacation which means I get to hang out with them and hear them playing. Today out of nowhere Cara (8) told Faith (5) to be careful with all the humans,...

Finally....

Since I got married I have been wanting a one piece bathing suit but amazingly finding a cute one has been quite the challenge. I've tried so many of them without even being close to liking one I had lost all hope. Thank God I have husband with me, earlier this week when we were in Malibu we walked by a Juicy Couture and he made me go in and for bathing suits. Well it turns out they only had one. No, not one style, one bathing suit all together!...

Screen on the green

I just came home from screen on the green. It was such a good time even though I couldn't really understand everything they were saying in the movie. We watched the original 1952 Moulin Rouge with Zsa Zsa Gabor. We brought food and drinks and laid on the green. I wish I would have known earlier because this was the last showing for the summer, but next year I plan on being at everyone of the...

What are friends for?

We went to LA to run errands at the Colombian Consulate last Monday and I was ready to be at the consulate for at least 2 hours. I mean if you think the DMV is awful you have no idea until you've been to the Colombian consulate in LA or Miami. We get there pretty early in the morning and I see one of the assistants to the Consul and I think "wait a minute I know this guy". So I tell Kris and K that I know him and they make fun of me because they...

The house in Vegas

Welcome to the Vegas home. It's a 3 bedroom 2 and 1/2 bathroom home with an extra room that is an office. Caleb and I were blessed with it and it has been wonderful having it because it has given us the ability to give our time to the church here in San Diego. This is the pool. It's a salt water pool so the water is really nice and it had solar panels that heat the water for the cooler months. I'd love to have a pool here in San Diego and we...

Dinner in Vegas

Ok so when we were in Vegas around August the 11th we met with a couple I've known for a few years. They are both wonderful pastors and he's a phenomenal worship leader. They have three cute kiddos and it was sooooo nice to see them and catch up. They hadn't had a chance to meet my K so it was nice they got a chance to. At the end of the night we found yogurtland and that just may have made my husband's night perfect! I will keep catching...
