Julian, CA

Steven took me to Julian, California today. What a cute little town. It reminded me of the Fort Worth Stockyards...that this is where it all started kind of feeling. It was full of old antique shops, horse & buggy rentals, and pie shops.

Everyone knows I'm a gnome fanatic! I wanted this little guy so bad BUT I fought the urge and left him there happily with other gnomes...He'll be mine one day very soon.

My Valentine's gift to Steven was quite awesome if I say so myself. I surprised him with a gondola ride around the Coronado Cays. It was everything I imagined it would be. It had the gondola boat, the man in the striped shirt and funny hat, music, champange, and the sweetest strawberries I've ever tasted.

The gondolier totally photo bombed us lol.

I definatley accidently matched the gondolier but it did make a cute picture. Today was one of those fairy tale days I used to read about. Love is such a good feeling.



Love isn't just for the birds

It's our first Valentine's Day as boyfriend and girlfriend. Steven took me to a place here in downtown San Diego called Extraordinary Desserts. I nearly had a heart attack. I wanted everything! All the desserts were topped with fresh cut flowers and flakes of gold. It was so deliciously fancy.

I really wanted those green vintage bowls but they weren't for sale :( They would look amazing in my apartment.

 Don't these make your mouth water? I had the one on the left: Dulce De Leche & Steven had the one on the right: Devonshire Neopolitan. Ohh it was to die for. I also had the Child's Play tea. It was infused with jelly beans. My inner child was screamming yes please! It was delish!

It was a wonderful day out with my love bug. He's pretty romantic when he puts his mind to it. Oh and I absolutley love that last picture of him. He's the cutest!

Happy Birthday Bubba!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DYEMOND O'BRYAN

My oh my how time flies! My baby bubba turned 23 today and you know what that makes me?... OLD! I'm so happy I got to share this day with him because 23 years ago today my world changed for the better. I was no longer an only child. I now had a sibling. I now had someone to laugh and share secrets with...someone to blame stuff on. Oh how he has my heart.

I attempted to make on of those really sweet ginormous cupcakes...didn't turn out so well. Note to self: baking is NOT my thing lol He loved it none the less.



New Years Ressy

My New Years resolution... to learn how to play these bad boys!! I loooove guitars. I have a real weakness for them if you will. Acoustic or electric, no discrimination here because either way I'm having an eargasm...

ear·gasm

Noun:	A climax of sexual excitement in the ears caused by a kick ass guitar solo or Taking Back Sunday
Verb:	Experience an eargasm.

What's your New Years resolution?!

Hello World!

I'm at a turning point in life... so what a better time to start a blog, right? My point exactly :)

I wish somebody would have told me how time flys once you graduate highschool. Why wasn't I handed some kind of head gear and one of those cute duckie floaties to protect me from the natural disaster of growing up? Why aren't mothers forced to live no further than a few miles away so you'll never have to pay for laundry or eat ramen noodles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Where is that handbook that will stop me from dating Billy Bad Ass and protect me from heartache. Boo!

At 25, I still don't have it all figured out...but I mean is there really an actual time when we all do? Will our lives ever be that completed million piece jigsaw puzzle or will we have a few pieces M.I.A.? I like to think I'm on a good course. I was thrown to the lions at 18...Toughen up or get eaten. One of my decisions that I still pat myself on the back for was joining the navy. I've seen things that others would kill to see and others have died while seeing. It was my handbook on growing up. I've experienced so much in these past few years...career changes, failed engagement, heart aches, and let downs BUT I'm proud to say at 25 I have gained something that I have struggled all my life to find: SELF HAPPINESS :)

I am really looking forward to the new year. I have my brother here in California with me. I have a love of my life named Steven and he makes me feel like a million bucks! I have the greatest friends and family by my side. I recently found God again and this time I'm not letting him go. So here's to 2012...

 Bring it on Snitchezz!!
