August 26, 2008

Three years ago, my amazing boyfriend and best friend, got down on one knee at Tanaka of Tokyo in the Ala Moana Mall, and asked me to marry him. It was at that moment I finally became his fiance. There were many people around us, eating and enjoying their lunch, but it was as if we were in our own bubble and no one could see us {just the way Evan would have it, no one up in his business}. Me on the other hand, wanted to scream out for joy to all these strangers. It was such a happy moment in my life. I love reflecting back on this day.

Double Feature Wednesday

Most recently, Redbox has had this promotion going on that if you text DEALS to 727272 they will send you back a promo code with up to $1.00 off. So for the past 2 weeks, minus a handful of days, Evs and I have been getting as many codes and we could. Well I hit the jackpot. Just about every text I got .50 -$1.00 {its only a buck but that means its FREE} I love FREE date night. Well I had 3 $1.00 promo codes so last night we rented these two movies:
This movie was interesting to say the least. Talk about control of your life and being mentally ill. Its crazy how that is so real in our world today. I can't say I will even jump at the next opportunity to see this movie, but it wasn't a total and complete waste of time {maybe..}

Now I heard many friend reviews about this movie when it was in the theater. My own review: It was actually funny. Funny in a semi stupid way, I guess. I had to watch and listen so carefully that sometimes it bugged me. What really drove me insane, so insane that I had to leave the room a couple times because I got so much anxiety and Ev refused to fast forward it, was Steve Carrell's character!! He was such a disaster!! Everything was such a mess and as much as he was funny, it had me going crazy. I know its just a movie, but I hate movies where there is so much conflict and constant craziness.

Even though I about had an anxiety attack watching movies, I loved time I got to just relax and hang out.

East Coast Earthquake Devasation

East Coast earthquake 5.8 magnitude. A friend on Facebook posted this and I thought it was hilarious! Such devastation. Oh, America we are so blessed!

Exercising Faith

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Sunday--family day

All the fun we have together!

Huntington Beach Dog Park

Oh man did they love it here! Our first time taking them to the beach..a little hesitant because there were so many dogs, so many big dogs to be specific off of their leashes and lots of beach to run away and never come back. Needless to say, It took me a good 20 minutes before I would let Sage, the known "explorer", off his leash. Sage and Jade were in heaven. They loved it. It was like we took them to Disneyland "for dogs" for the first time. Jade didn't care for the big dogs sniffing them so up close and personal or the sand in her eyes, but nonetheless had a blast! {She told me so} Sage actually went in the water and walked with me, surprising. He had fun too! {He told me too}. Its funny how I used to be afraid of dogs and now my doggies are my little buddies {yes I know they are dogs..but so what}.














Fun times!

Date Night

It went something like this: I made a card and folded it up with a handmade envelope. Wrote Evs name and address on it and drew a fake stamp on it. When I went home for lunch I put the letter in the mailbox and then went inside. While eating I asked Evan," Have you checked the mail yet? Can you check it? Im expecting something." He gets up checks it and comes back inside with a cute grin on his face. I love when I can make him smile ear to ear. The card looked like this:
We went to a steakhouse called Spunky's Steer. We had some great steak and some yummy fried zucchini! Most of all we had good conversation and good quality time. We came home and watched {he watched, I fell asleep} The Priest {weird if you ask me}.
I love this man! He is my best friend!

Saturday with the family

One Saturday after work, I told Evs, " We havent seen your sister and the kids in a while. Let's go visit them." So we did. We hopped in the car, drug the dogs along too and headed down to San Marcos. We played with the kids for a bit. Just chilled. Ate some dinner. Mia and I rented:
We got each kid a candy and had a great night. By small and simple things great memories and joy are brought to pass. 
 They were excited for candy and a movie!
Who knew that ringpops that light up would bring so much entertainment in one night!





Happy Family Night!
