It’s Our Anniversary...

Today is our four year wedding anniversary! The hubby and I met six years ago (as many of you know on a blind date) and we’ve been together ever since, it’s amazing how time flies when you're having fun. About a week ago I found our wedding photo CD (which I thought I had lost when we moved) and I became a bit nostalgic, our wedding was so beautiful; but I thank God every day that our marriage has been even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined (sometimes people focus all their energy on their wedding and not their marriage).  I credit God first and foremost that we are "happily married" and our parents secondly for setting a fantastic example of what a good marriage should be. Of course we disagree and argue at times, but we never disrespect each other, we never go to bed angry and above all, we love each other unconditionally. I hope to share many, many more anniversaries with this wonderful man!

The Party Planning Mommy: Lollipops

Everyone in the family has their favorite carnival theme ideas, so I thought it would be cute to post some of those ideas and give credit, where credits due! JD's Tia Gabi has had a funny obsession with swirl lollipops, ever since we decided on a carnival theme; she has taken it upon herself to buy a bunch of lollipops for JD's 1st birthday party and I have no complaints. I just hope we don't eat them all before May 15th. You can find most of these lollipops at Designed 2B Sweet, Oriental Trading Company and Amazon.com. Just remember to hide them!

Thanks Gabi, you're a great co-planner!

True Blood Season 3

True Blood fans, mark your calendars! HBO has finally announced the premiere date of the show's third season. On Sunday, June 13 at 9pm ET, True Blood returns with a fresh brood of characters that will surely spice things up in Bon Temps. Hopefully, the new season of True Blood will shed light on several cliffhangers left by the second season finale, including the disappearance of Bill, the nature of Sookie, Sam's quest to find his parents and the direction of Jessica and Hoyt's budding romance. 

The hubby and I are huge True Blood fans and so are some of our closest friends. We've already begun to plan our True Blood Premiere Party and now that the date is set, we just can't wait. I will be posting lots of True Blood Premiere Party ideas in the next few months, including some tasty recipes and cocktails, so stay tuned!

Such a Beautiful Day in Southern California

Today I went to work and spent the whole day cooped up in my office. When my work day was done I stepped out of the building and realized that the day was absolutely beautiful; I rushed home and picked up JD and his Tias and we all took a stroll at the beach. Thanks to daylight savings we hope to go on more of these afternoon outings during the week!

I forgot my camera, so here are a few of my iPhone pics, not too bad if I may say so!

 

Such a California boy!
