I turned 30 July 31st. I was depressed. My sisters hosted a dinner (true blood theme!!!!), that helped. But it still hasn't gotten better! This year wasn't a great one at all. I am just thankful for my little family who put a smile of my face everyday!!!! I can't wait to make our little family of three to four then maybe one day five!

I love the West Coast

My summer vaca was spent in Pasadena. Ww went there for our honeymoon three years ago and hubby was going for a couple days for work so I tagged along. That was the week the DC area got hit with an earthquake & hurricance!!! So our flight got delayed and our 5 day turned into a 7 day trip and I think I want to move there!!! I am ready to go!

Summer is Basically Over :(

We have had a really hot summer in the DC area this summer and all of a sudden today was in the 60's and you saw sweaters all around. Oh well, all good things must come to an end but I'll have this pic to keep me warm :)

Sorry for my absence the month of August, I needed to dedicate some time to my family but I'm back and energized! :)
