we are going to die from our bathroom sink

so our bathroom sink has been trouble... it hasn't been able to drain normal for months and months and no amount of drain-o was fixing it. So tonight, Abe decided he was going to bust out the big guns: Crystal Heat Drain Opener. Yes. Something from Home Depot that only professionals should use. I mean you should have some sort of license to buy this stuff, because before we know it, it was like some science experiment gone horribly wrong. i mean blue stuff shooting from the drain, Abe getting first degree burns on his arms. Its smoking and fizzing and there is a cloud of who-knows-what. We are coughing and our throats are burning, our eyes are burning and why is my skin itching? As Abe in going back in there with a shirt tied around his head and sunglasses on, he tells me he thinks he used too much(ya think?)! we couldn't get any windows open(cause we live in an old house and they are painted shut) and there was more smoke and more coughing, and more burning and i am forming some freakish cancer as i type this..... i just think that if no body sees us in two days, we are probably dead and you should send in a search crew.... oh and turn in our blockbuster movies by Friday. Thanks.

Best. Trip. Ever.

I feel like the title should just explain the whole trip: best trip ever. period. maybe fifty or so exclamation points after that... but for everyone else who wasn't there i guess i will fill you in.

last weekend i went to California with my best friends and it seemed like it was exactly what we all needed. Whenever we all get together, its like we are sixteen again...a little immature and think we are really funny. funny like, I'm-laughing-so-hard-i-have-tears-rolling-down-my-cheeks-and-might-of-peed-my-pants-a-little-bit-funny. you get it, right? I hope so.

i stole all these pictures from brittneys blog(which everyone should have a friend who is a professional photographer, because your guaranteed to get great pictures..thanks Britt!)

Fashion District L.A. and Hollywood

love me some Harry Potter

The Park
It was the most dreamy park, you have ever laid a picnic blanket down on. I think we spent like 5 hours there. I would go to this park once a week if a could. Dang California and its good weather!

Out to dinner

this place was by balboa Island

Newport Beach

(eating a corn dog without judgment..yeah that's right, I'm talking about you, Abe.)

this just might be, the ugliest picture of me. bad angle, maybe? or weird face.

Disneyland
Im going to brag and tell you that we went on the best day... we walked on every ride. no joke. One ride just let us stay on and go again because there no one was in line. jealous? maybe a little? OK, you are.

I'm not wearing socks, those are my white, white ankles.

Funny story about this picture, On one of our trips from California Adventure to Disneyland Jade overheard a little boy say to his parents "I want a picture in the A hole." After we heard that, we all wanted our picture in the A hole.

World of Color
At California Adventure they have this water, light, music, fire show. It was like the fountains at the Bellagio on Disneyland crack. It was awesome, and when i mean awesome, i mean totally awesome. These pictures really don't come close. Just know that next time you are at California Adventure, you HAVE to go to this show!!!( yeah, that's right i used three exclamation points)

still here.

man. summer went by really fast, which i guess im ok with, since its a bazillion degrees outside. sorry, i really stink at keeping this updated( i don't even know if anyone reads this??).

Things that happened in the last couple months:

- i cut off all my hair.Yeah. Think really short, like you-can-see-my-ears-short. i just decided and did it. i cant believe i did it, inches and inches gone and I'm REALLY glad i did it. i cut off at least 15 minutes off my morning routine. ill put up pictures soon.
-Abe lost 30lbs, yeah that's right.. 30lbs. a small child really. i didn't know he could lose that much. amazing.
- i have a new calling in church. The nursery. ummm, i just don't feel like i am the most motherly person. but i guess I'm suppose to be there for a reason? right?
- im going to california next weekend with some of my best and oldest friends. I feel like this trip is much needed. there is something so great about being with people that know you so well. Its effortless. I'm thankful for that, because sometimes your just too tired and I'm in need of a pick-me-up.
- i watched the first season of Felicity. Does anyone know how great that show is?
- Hair-Do moved to its new location, at Dana park and we are loving it! everyone should come by and check it out.
- Oh. i had a client freak out on me about not getting in sooner and it resulted in losing 10 great clients in one day. I'm serious. They are never coming back to me, because this client told them not to..it was unbelievable, and there was nothing i could of said or do to fix it. It was such a bad day.
-i went through a lot of books
- i finally joined a book club. It comforting to know that there are other people out there who stay up to three in the morning reading.
- i need to talk about the Mockingjay with someone.
- somehow we became the "eye sore" of the neighborhood... with all this rain, the weeds in our front yard have grown at a freakishly rapid pace, and then we became "that" house. we finally pulled them out this weekend.( you know when your a home owner, because you are talk about your yard)
-I'm really into Ray Lamontagne.
- i am now familiar with the pride cycle. i hope it cycles back around soon.
