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 beautiful.

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, Faith listened!

They ask me every now and then when I will have babies and I usually respond that I don't know yet, but this week when they asked me I told them I want to have a baby by next year. Their excitement was fun and just like that we were thinking about baby names. Above is Cara's list, Faith gave me two great names Buttercup and Sweetie Pie, I told them we'll use their list as a good start.

Kids are so much fun, I can't wait for my babies to be here!

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! I thought it was a waste of time to even look at it but husband insisted and they came with the cutest pink bathing suit, and it was my size!!!!

I finally have a cute one piece bathing suit and instead of paying full price for it ($190) we ended up paying only $60 because it's the end of the summer and my husband's charm works everywhere. I took a picture to get my sister's opinion and since she approved I thought I could share it with you.

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 them!

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 say I think I know everyone and their mom, I laugh at myself and let it go. When it was my turn to go up and explain what I was doing there the guy saw me.

- Jo?
- Diego?
- Yes, how are you?
- Good! you went to school with my sister right?
- Yeah, she's mad at me haha
- She's funny like that
- What are you doing here?
- I need some paperwork signed and to process all of this stuff
- Did you bring your money orders?
- Yeah I did
- I'll take care of you. After all what are friends for right?
- Thank you so much!

And just like that we had a whole day in LA to play!

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 never go all the way up to the 100's here so it's nice to have a pool in Vegas.

This is the family room. The open door there goes to a sun room that goes directly into the pool.

The kitchen is fun. There is a nice dishwasher on the other side of the kitchen, I wish I had one of those here in San Diego too!!

This is the dining room. The house is about 25 years old but K changed the floor and put bamboo and restored a lot of it so it's in great condition. I mean look at that shining floor!

This is the living room. We think the fire place doesn't work but we are unsure. Maybe the new renters will figure it out.


Washer and dryer

Those are the stairs to the second floor where 3 of the rooms are. The office is on the first floor. We didn't take pictures of the rooms because we hadn't finished cleaning them but they are a good size, specially the master which is actually pretty big.

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 up on our postings now =/ it's been crazy with school and dealing with homes everywhere but we are trying to get back!

Tired

This explains why we haven't been around here. That picture was taken 10 after church on Sunday, he said to let him lay down in the couch for a second and just like that he was gone for 2 hours. Poor K he's exhausted.

Running like crazy and wedding

We have a house in Vegas and our renters were not being the best renters in the world (in fact they were trying to get the worst renter in history award). Due to that fact me and K had to go back to Vegas on Monday and until Thursday early early morning. But we didn't leave before attending a beautiful wedding and taking pictures there.

Our friends Karolyn and Josiah got married it was a beautiful wedding and I'll upload more pics soon. For now just those two (my hair looks weird but it looked pretty in person haha).

So yeah I am aware of the fact that those dresses make me look shorter because they cut right below the knee but they are just so cute I can't resist. That particular one was free so hey I can't complain right? Anyways we'll be back to posting more often for posterity once life gets a little bit more calm.

48Hr Film Project

My husband's 48hr film project team and their movie made it to the top in San Diego! Unfortunately they didn't win the best movie but they did score other awards (and I must admit the movie that won best movie was pretty awesome).

So the award ceremony was tonight at 6pm. He got home at 5, I got home at 515, we were running around the house trying to get ready and I am proud to let you know we made it!

We had a chance to watch the top 10 movies. It was a great time and my hubby looked so handsome! It's nice to have excuses to dress up, even if we didn't have a ton of time to do it.
