californi-ay!!

husband had a week off, so we decided to take advantage and go to cali!

first day: the happiest place on earth. yay!!

{he hadn't been since sixth grade, needless to say i was his tour guide.}

oh how i love this castle i was a happy girl and.. he was a happy man ..

happy wife, happy life! right??!

stopped in car-land! this made me realize i wouldn't want to be a toy..

tower of terror! his favorite ride ever. i'm pretty sure i screamed the whole time, while his arms were in the air enjoying every second..we rode twice:)

san fran bridge

jealous much?!

-maybe i should've told husband, he's a lego? so close to getting the sword in the stone out. dang.. oh how we loved the mickey rollar coaster such an amazing view from up high! we waited the longest wait for space mountain.. after an hour and thirty, husband got his phone out and played angry birds. :) i love his concentrated face.

we looved space mountain. so worth the wait.

during the ride. me:"i saw a shooting star" him:"i saw a disco ball." hahah

i might have been the first to laugh during space mountain instead of screaming.

thanks to the hubster. i think this face means he's kinda sick of taking pictures.. hahah

oh how i loved the world of color show. my favorite was ariel. i sang part of your world, while hubby wrapped his arms around me. i felt like i was a five year old living the dream

seriously, ahhmazing

husband said "woah, that was just like the balagio show, but on pixie dust."

i love how funny he is, he makes me laugh always.

we couldn't make it til midnight. our legs were noodles. oh, so worth it!!

--next day we weren't sure what we were going to do besides church. this is why i love going on vacations with my man. he loves exploring and we always have such a fun spontaneous day!

we loved going to church in l.a and across the street was the temple.

we were in awh. it is huge and so so beautiful!

we decided to check out beverly hills. first timer! no. i do not have a louis vitton or a dog and i'm doing juuust fine.. i may have gotten a few stares because i was walking around in my target shoes and thrift store purse. hahaha

we were amazed by the houses.

people say i look like nicole kidman..

and people say he looks like tom cruise.

kidding :) he's more attractive.

i may be a little biased though.

drove up to see the hollywood sign! i just love us.

suuuch a beautiful view. we loved how green it was

we went to malibu and had our own private beach at sunset. it was PARADISE.

i realllly could've stayed there forever.

LOVED what i caught him writing in the sand

the next day we rented bikes and rode into hunington beach. this may sound wierd, but i crave riding bikes on the boardwalk. it's so relaxing.

we enjoyed watching the surfers surf.

my pro biker

heaven.

my favorite thing to do.

we ended the trip by grabbing yogurt at yogurtland. mm

& a special thanks to all the random people who took pictures of us.

dear california:

we might not see you for awhile considering ohio is way longer than 5 hours away. until then..

jp&jp

a much needed

day off and sissy day!

consisted of the gym, crafting, giggling, eating and yogurt.

oh how i love my sissy, crafting, giggling, days off and yogurt :)


.. ended with a perfect night with the hubby
we went to sauce and walked around dana park.
oh how we can't get enough of this weather & eachother.

"twenty nine and married

feels younger, than twenty eight and single."

was the birthday boy's quote of the day.

-i woke up before him at six am to make him pancakes (first time ever). i decorated the house. . blew up my very first balloon and put notes all over. he even got to open one of his presents during breakfast!

once he got home from his rotation at the hospital, i made him his favorite dinner: chicken enchiladas and opened presents.

he's been away from home for so long.. that he doesn't remember having a birthday cake. he was very shocked.

it was a realllly yummy reeses peanut butter cup ice cream cake.

the flame is red like the candle.

oh, so festive.

the presents: four dress shirts, three ties and his very first professional massage and getting spoiled by his wife.. what more can a man want?

{and i'm happy because now he will be looking mighty fine during residency in kenneth cole shirts and ties that were $70 and on sale for $15.}

yes, i re-used bags and instead of tissue paper used fabric.

welcome to the life of a doctor-to be's wife :)
oh how he was fun to spoil.

my parents took us out the next night.

such a fun night with the adults..

you wouldn't believe some of us were adults though..

oh dad, justin and g.

suuuch posers. but you make life fun, so we will put up with it :)

only a real man can wear what the balloon man made up..

& mine wore it well.

oh how he loved this part.

my family spoiled him with more ties, shirts and a gift card to tia rosas that we intended to use last night.. but forgot, so now we will have to go again! oops. :)

it was a happiest of birthdays!

1/2 marathon

in las sendas!
