Mazatlan 2012



In an effort to keep up with the blog and pictures, here is a few pictures from our week in Mazatlan.



"Our everyday spot"

YES, we took the bus!!!



That sunset actually existed

Found it!

THOMAS - Don't worry there are no pictures of the dress in this blog :)

Wedding dress shopping was a HUGE success! My mom came up from San Diego Saturday morning to go to the first appointment together as mother and daughter. We picked out four different dresses to try on, so we could see which ones look great on my body. After trying on the first dress, I knew exactly what I wanted. As I tried on the others, they just didn't compare. We were having so much fun, we didn't realize we had killed four hours already. We were picking out mother of the bride outfits and looking at bridesmaid dresses.  While we were there, we were waiting for Lo (MOH) to show up. You can always count on there being horrible traffic from LA to OC, so she wasn't able to see the dresses at this appointment (sad face).

After grabbing a quick (very quick) bite and Lo, we made our way to our second appointment. I was excited for this one because two more of my bridesmaids were meeting up with us there, Allison (Flash) and Jess. They were so sweet to drive in from LA for this special day! Of course they were the "peanut gallery." I really couldn't stop laughing.

The girls made me "walk down the aisle" in this place, which was probably the most uncomfortable thing I have done yet. You could see it all over my face! They loved it...ha

I tried on a few more, but realized I was comparing every dress to that first one. I told the girls that my dress is back at that other store. They all agreed to drive back to the other store to see it on me. We went back, I put it on, and I knew! Done and done.

While there, I was having fun making the girls try on Bridesmaid dresses! Payback :) hehe (Notice I didn't post the picture ladies)

All in all a great day!

One tip for those of you about to go wedding dress shopping.....make sure you have a drink handy at the end, because it is overwhelming!!

Wedding Dress

I received TWO emails today from different wedding websites stating the same exact thing. 1) I have 10 months to go and 2) I should start looking for wedding dresses. Wow, are we on the same page or what?!

Saturday, I am going with my mom and a few best girlfriends wedding dress shopping. I honestly couldn't be more excited. Every person has a different "thing" that makes getting married feel real. For me it's the dress. Once I start trying them on, I know it's really going to hit me...oh goodness, get the Kleenex!

What do you think?

Just kidding.

Nico 2007-2012

Getting home from a vacation is often a bust, but it is even more so when one of your pets doesn't come home. Nico was an outdoor kitty, but always came home every night. For five years he would go outside when I left for work and be waiting for me when I got home. It was clock-work, so when he didn't come home for two days, I knew something was wrong. We don't know what happened, but we know he isn't coming back.

He had the biggest personality and everyone in the neighborhood knew him. Some called him Trouble, Mico, or nicky-poo, but regardless of his name, he was my boy. I will miss him a lot.

Did you know...

I found out an amazing fact today! If you buy a Disney movie and it breaks, scratches or whatever (even if it's your fault), they will replace it for next to nothing ($6.95) How cool is that?!

I bet we are going to use this "fun fact" in the years to come. We bought Lion King and Beauty and the Beast, a couple months ago. Go team Disney!
