2 years ago..

We walked hand in hand into the San Diego Temple to be sealed for time and eternity.
What a beautiful day that was!
27 December 2008
Thank you My Sweetheart for a wonderful 2 years..I Love You the Most!
Evan's commentary:
I always find it a compliment when people think I just got married last month... Thanks sweetheart for a WONDERFUL 2 years! Keep em coming!! Love You!

The day of our wedding we hadn't eaten much that morning so when all the pictures and everything were done we went in our wedding attire through the drive through of McDonalds. We got Chicken Nuggets. Today we got Chicken Nuggets too. It was a fun memory to relive.

MY CARD TO EVS:

EV's CARD TO ME:
What did we do to CELEBRATE??
We are going to take a train ride somewhere in California because that's what I wanted to do, but things have been so busy with family in town and work that we are taking a raincheck for now. We did however go to CHEESECAKE FACTORY with Ev's parents (they were staying with us before they went back to HI). I had never been there before so it was a big treat for me.
It was a great day of celebration with my BEST FRIEND! The one thing I remember from our sealing were the words, " YOU WILL BE HAPPY!" And we sure are!

Christmas Day with the Stubbs Family

The kids in this house couldn't start Christmas before 8 AM. Luckily they all slept until about that time, I was a little worried that they would be itching to get down the stairs to see if Santa came.Well it looks like Santa found us in San Marcos, CA this year. He brought me lots of my favorite candy in my stocking..He seems to know just what I like. Mrs. Claus came for Evan too. He was a good boy this year.
Santa even brought Sage and Jade toys..thanks Momma Lolly! They love them.

We had a wonderful lazy Christmas. Yummy Crepes for breakfast and just being with family topped it off. I loved that most.

Oh and Christmas Eve, we had the Nativity played by the kids and Rob. The kids were {ninja} Wise Men, Trace was Baby Jesus, and the dogs were the sheep.

Christmas Day with the Greco/Repucci Family

We spent the second half of our Christmas Day at my Parents house. All of the siblings were there except for Jess and her family, they stayed in Oregon. Its nice that we were all able to get together, even though it felt weird not doing Christmas in the morning at my parents house. We still made the best of it so everyone could be there and had a good time as always laughing and chatting it up. Love being with my family and glad we all got together and had a good time. We ate Dad's famous Christmas lasagna and then vegged and hung out. 
Corey brought his dogs down from Oregon (3), we brought our dogs (2), Tony brought his dogs (2), and my Mom's dog (1). Thats a lot of dogs in one place! But my dog's had a good time.

Christmas Eve 2010

We headed to San Marcos, CA Thursday night after I was done with work. We spent the night at Evs sisters house along with all of his siblings (except one) and parents. It was a full house, but I like it that way. We had fun with the kids and enjoying seeing each other as we are all in different areas on the map. Evs parents flew from Hawaii and were in the mainland for a couple weeks it was so nice to have them here. For Christmas Eve, we had my sister Jenny, take a "Stubbs" family photo as it has been a long time since they have had one with everyone in it. We laughed and smiled and cheesed it! We acted like goof balls to get the kiddies to smile and it was good fun. It turned out to be a beautiful Friday, when we were expecting overcast or rain. It was hard to find a nice spot with shade! After taking pictures we went to BJ's for a family lunch. Then just hung out the rest of the day. (Evs and I snuck out and went to see my Grandpa that lives in Carlsbad and give him some company) Nice Christmas Eve together as a family.

Much needed reunion with friends.

We finally made it to the same place at the same time! When we lived in Hawaii we had some of the greatest friends. We had FHE together and tried to do lots of activities together. After we left the island, Chris and Dana left soon after and are now living in San Diego. Becky and Tyler are still in Hawaii while Tyler finishes up his schooling (they were on the mainland for the holidays). We got together chatted it up and ate at this really good Mexican restaurant in Old town San Diego. We had a blast! Thanks for a fun night. Its always nice to have a reunion with friends.

Evans Grades

Evan finished his second semester of Grad school at Cal Baptist University and I am just so proud of him! He is so on top of it this year with his schooling and is enjoying it so much. He stressed about a couple of his finals but overall he did well. He wished he would have done better which is such a nice thing to see when your husband does so well, yet he wants to do so much better! He ended up with 2 A's and 2 A-'s!! Can you believe it?!?! Such a smarty pants I married. Such a proud wifey I am. I know he has his heart set on getting a 4.0 gpa next semester and I can't wait to push him harder and help him achieve it! I love you my Evy! You are doing great! You're hard work will pay off soon enough! Just keep swimming! I love you the most!
