Birthday Hike
Monday, January 21, 2013 - Malibu, CA
Last Monday I went on a hike in Malibu for Susana's birthday. Since it was Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I had the day off and it was nice to enjoy the outdoors. It was a warm day in Jan, even for CA, so many people were on the trail, but we were able to enjoy a trickling waterfall and a beautiful view of the ocean.

A fun weekend!
Days go by and I miss so many pics. My new goal is to post regularly ;)
Saturday, January 19th, 2013
Saturday was a wedding prep type of day. We drove down to Oside early Sat morning and my little brother took some engagement photos. Unfortunately the lighting wasn't great but hopefully we got a shot or two that were good. In the afternoon, I went to David's Bridal with my mom and sisters. Dress shopping is kind of difficult for a holistic, indecisive person like myself, but I'll figure it out soon. The first pic is a fun picture from the day with my sisters.

FINALLY, I went and saw The Hobbit. I love Tolkien and Peter Jackson, so I was excited for another film! At first I was bummed it was a trilogy, but now I'm just excited for the other two!

Beautiful Children
January 15, 2013
On Tuesday, I had a fun day hanging out with Hayley and playing with her two beautiful children. After working with kids all day and then playing with Hayley's kids, I was very tired! I don't think I could be a working mother, at least not working with and having small children... Props to all you moms who balance work and children! Hayley's boys are adorable, so I had to share some pics from the park.

January 9 - January 14, 2013
Costa Mesa and Long Beach, CA
The days are just flying by! I haven't taken pictures everyday but I do have some fun ones to share!
On Thursday, Jan 10, I went dress shopping for the first time! It was a really expensive boutique where I can't afford the dresses, but it was the start of a fun ladies night. Unfortunately, no pictures were allowed. The first three pictures are all from that night. We had wine and cheese, played with an adorable bunny and then finished off with dinner and The Bachelor. It was a great day!
Pic 4 - Mike and I went out for dinner Friday night and tried to walk by the water, but with the freezing wind, our walk lasted about 5 mins :)
Pic 5 - On Sunday I went to David's Bridal with Becky, my maid of honor, my only chance of doing something wedding related with her before she flies off to Rwanda once more. The woes of having internationally minded friends ;)

Let the wedding craziness begin!!
January 7 and 8, 2013 - Long Beach, CA
I don't intend for this to become a wedding blog, but the fact is, I'm engaged! So a lot of the photos over the next six months will be wedding related. To start the likely series off...
Pic 1 - on Monday I got my ring back from the jeweler after being sized! Now I have a sparkly ring that fits :) it's my great grandmother's ring. I love the history, the uniqueness and the beauty :) unfortunately my iPhone cannot focus on something so dazzling so the picture does not do it justice.
Pic 2 - Today (Tues) was my first visit to a David's Bridal. I didn't try anything on but began thinking about what kind of dress I want...

A New Year!
My New Year's resolution of 2012 failed because of computer and camera problems and the tediousness of posting daily. So in 2013, I will assume the challenge once again but this time mainly with my new iPhone. I will lose some of the technicality I hoped to show with my actual camera but hopefully what I lose in technicality I will gain in ease of ability to post and blog about pictures.
2012 was a great year! I explored the beauty of national parks, quit a job after 2 years, and started another at my church, made many wonderful memories with family and friends. And Probably most significantly, I started dating and was engaged to the love of my life! Yes 2012 was great and I have a feeling 2013 be even better.
So here's to another year with lots of NEW, lots of love and lots of laughs! :)
