BITS OF MY WEEK
What a wonderful weekend. I spent it doing a whole bunch of of non-superbowl related activities.
Here are a few bits of my weekend:
Snack / Tuckered pups after a hike / Visiting the monarch grove (again)
Doggie sock hats / Dumb iphone game I'm addicted to (Riven) / Backyard camp out
Sunrise(!) over our house / PK at slo brew / Wine tasting at Talley Vineyards
How was your weekend? I'd love to hear. :)
monday eye candy
Over the weekend, J. and I went to The Huntington Gardens in Pasadena. We could have easily spent hours in there wandering around and taking pictures. I think of all the different gardens, I loved the succulent and cactus garden the best (big surprise, right?). I took a few snaps of some of the centers of different specimens. I love how architectural they look up close like this. And I think the pictures came out not too bad for all being taken on my Blackberry.
We also stopped at Enjoy Cupcakes in Los Olivos on the way down. If you're ever in that neck of the woods, you MUST make a stop at Enjoy. I got to chat with Kevin for a few, which was great. Man, what a nice guy. And the cupcakes? I had a pomegranate-mimosa cupcake and an apple cinnamon cupcake. One word: Nom.
two years?!
Today is my two year wedding anniversary. On this day in 2008, I got to say YES! to spending the rest of my life with my best friend. Hands down, the best decision I have ever made. Today, I thought I'd share a few of our wedding pictures with you, shot by the awesome, amazing, and insanely talented Chloe Murdoch.
a love story
This is so sweet, I couldn't not post it. I can only hope to keep a love like this in my marriage for the rest of my life. xo.

Photobooth Fun
J. and I went to a wedding over the weekend and they had a great photo booth! We had too much fun taking pictures. It reminded us of when we were first dating and took some pictures at the Mid State Fair (back in '01 and '02). Putting my embarrassment aside over how goofy we look in our younger days, I present to you our photo booth pics. Hopefully this won't come back to haunt me later. :)

Always, Sometimes, Never
wedding: october 2008
I always:
* will choose sleeping in over eating breakfast at home.
* choose Thai food over Chinese, but Japanese over Thai.
* have a deep-seeded love of travel.
* opt for something salty over something sweet.
* have wanted to sky dive.
* love watching movies with a fire going on a rainy day.
* make chai in the morning.
* wear my heart on my sleeve.
I sometimes:
* get way too excited when my tomato plants fruit.
* get lost in the internet and then wonder where the day went.
* feel insecure.
* wonder what life would be like had I made one different choice.
* want to pack up and move to Paris...for a little while.
* wear red lipstick.
* wish my best friend still lived in town.
* want to go back to school.
I never:
* regret moving home to be with J.
* will get a tattoo.
* mind that our town doesn't have an Anthropologie (I would spend waaaay too much $).
* get tired of watching Friends, Sex and The City, or Buffy reruns.
* say no to puppy kisses.
* want to wonder "what if?".
25 Facts:
1. I am seriously afraid of clowns. I watched Stephen King's "It" as a kid at a sleepover and clowns have haunted me dreams ever since. Don't even get me started on our local clown, "Ballooney".... {shudder}. (Why this is #1 on my list, I have no idea.)
2. I don't really crave sweets. Apparently this makes me a a bit of an enigma, but I'll take a bowl of popcorn over a bowl of ice cream any day of the week.
3. I'm not a kid person. If you know me, then, well, you already know this. But, I am softening. Sloooowly. (Thanks baby Jack)
4. I want to run a half marathon and hike Half Dome before I'm 30.
5. I was 27 the first time I went to Vegas (I know, what took me so long?!).
6. I hate when my toe nails are even a little bit long. I always have to cut them before I get a pedicure because the nail ladies always want to leave them long (and square). What's up with that?
7. I have only been to 3 states in the Continental U.S. (4 if you count Hawaii). I plan on changing that soon.
8. I love standing outside near the dryer vent and smelling the clean laundry tumbling around. Probably not the best for my allergies.
9. I LOVE downhill mountain biking. Bring it!
10. It's my firm belief that bacon tastes good on EVERYTHING.
11. I like Miley Cyrus. There, I said it.
12. I have lived at the beach my whole life and have never really liked the sand.
13. I love the first smell of the mountains after getting out of the car having driven 8 hours to get to them.
14. I re-watched The Labyrinth recently. All I can say is "WTF?!" How on earth did I get away with watching that acid trip of a film when I was little? And David Bowie in those silver pants? No. Just no.
15. I have never done Karaoke. It totally scares me (although I avidly practice in the car. Oh, yes, I'm that girl). Wanna hear me sing in front of people? Cocktails. More then one.
16. I've never gotten a speeding ticket. I did run a red light once. That was a pricey one.
17. I think a bowl of cereal is a legitimate meal choice. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner.
18. I always thought wiener dogs were lame...until I got two. Now I think they are rad.
19. I almost drowned once. Super scary (though still not as scary as a clown).
20. I like pickle relish, but not pickles.
21. I married my high school sweetheart.
22. I've always wanted to learn to play the guitar.
23. I tried snowboarding once. I had to do a class first before my parents would let me go down the mountain and the first thing they teach you is how to fall. How to fall?!?! Um, no. I'll stick to skis, thanks.
24. If it's a good book, I will read 150 pages a night on average. This is why I use the public library so much. Buying books all the time started getting really expensive.
25. I have seen the sun set over the ocean, but have never seen it rise over one. Life goal.
