Amanda's Baby Shower

Amanda is the most caring giving person in the world. She has been an amazing friend and although we don't see each other that often since Micaela has been born I know that I can count on her for anything. Her an Telly had a long road to get pregnant and now we are all so so happy that they will have a beautiful baby boy. (His name will be James David Baca and he will weigh almost 9 pounds and be 22inches long). We can't wait to meet sweet baby James!!! Amanda did not want a shower but of course that would not be allowed! After all how many shows etc has she attended happily!! hahah It was an awesome team effort planning Amanda's baby shower. Kristen and I coordinated the group and we all met at Amanda's house to divide up responsibilities. Everything turned out so cute!! Here are the pics I took! We were so excited to share this fun day with her.

Michele's Turns 32

The girls went out to celebrate Michele's birthday tonight. We went to a sushi dinner in Redondo Beach. It was fun catching up with everyone and the food looked delish. I have to go back when I can eat raw stuff! I always feel like Michele is such a selfless person who puts others first..she was so concerned with her niece's first birthday, John birthday coming up and even planning a shower for Dennis and I that she forgets that she is having a birthday. I was glad Sharyl planned a little night out because after all she does for everyone the least we could do is take her to dinner. I honestly cant believe how fast time flies...I can honestly say I consider her to be like a sister. We talk daily and ask each other for advice and just chat about silly things. I call her on my drive home and it makes my time go quickly. I can count on her for anything and trust her and I hope she feels the same. I cant say it enough but I am so glad she is my sister in law. Happy Birthday Michele!!

Amanda's 30th

Amanda is turning 30 and as she predicted I'm preggers! We have done all these over the top 30th birthday celebrations and now that hers is here she decided to keep it mellow. All she wanted was a simple girls dinner and her hubby to take her to Santa Barbara. I honestly felt guilty but it's not like I can really plan a rager for her..hahaha. Kristen, Kelly, Amanda and I met at Tantalum's and had such an amazing time. We laughed so much and just had great conversation! Kristen is going through a breakup with Jon and Kelly and Ian are talking again after being apart for some time now. It was just so nice to catch up with them. I can honestly say I am so proud of being Amanda's friend...she is the most honest and loyal person you will ever meet. I love that she doesn't sugar coast things and can have a good time any where we go. Although we don't talk everyday I know I can count her at anytime if I need. She is just a breath of fresh air in this world of drama. Happy Birthday 30th birthday Amanda! Next year let's plan an awesome party!!

Amanda's birthday in Hermosa

We celebrated Amanda's 29th in Hermosa. I love her...she is such a great person to be around. We started at our apartment and ended up at Waterman's. We had a blast. Thanks Christina for the delicious cupcakes. We are going to go crazy big next year Amanda!!

Girls in Vegas

It's always so hard to get away, especially with all girlfriends. Well..Amanda, Kelly, Michele, and I headed out for Vegas this weekend. I had such an amazing time with all of them. We arrived Friday and checked into the Palazzo, we pooled it up all day. That night we strutted our stuff at Blush at the Wynn. What a great Friday night but we were all hurting a bit the next morning. Saturday we had a great breakfast and went to the Canyon Ranch Spa, after a nice little workout. What a relaxing day at the Spa, we did not even step foot outside. Sharing stories, and laughing was all we cared about. That night Cristina joined us, and even brought little Nikki so we could see him. We went to dinner at Sushi Samba a fusion resturant that Michele reps...we ordered a delicious meal! Mich was so sweet to hook us up. After hours of girl talk we went back to the Wynn. After a little dancing we went for a late night snack at Grand Lux. Michele and I took a quick 40 minute nap and then flew back to LA at 7am. I had such an awesome weekend chilling with the girls. It was so nice to see my hubby that afternoon, you appreciate each other after being away. Until next time...

FBP OVER!!!

What a stressful day! So of course I procrastinated sooo bad this weekend. Saturday I hung out with my mom and went to Jimmy's Arta at Mt Sac. I got a pedicure, went tanning. Went to Pasadena with Mo and Amanda..D is in Vegas on Mike's bach-party. It was great to see the girls...I love them! Sunday I woke up chilled...then I went to Nancy's pool party at custom hotel. It was so fun listening to music and chilling with Nat and Nanc. Came home later than I expected then napped....ahhhh! Totally unproductive academically...but socially...Wow jam packed right!
D finally gets home and all we want to do is be on each other...we had not seen each other since Thursday since he went to SD to a conference.
Realization...we are going to wait on the baby thing!! I thought about it pretty hard this weekend since I had to get off the pill soon. We need some more time to enjoy each other, and to breathe!!!

So of course with Monday class...I barely managed to finish my FBP, I actually stayed up until 2:30. Fortunately my honey helped me with the graphs and data...I really love him for that. In fact he gave up an hour to help me with my presentation.

Today I showed a movie and went to work on the handout, I fiinshed 5th period, ran and made copies..ran to Trader Joes then off I was to present.

It ended up being a great night...check it out!

Spring Break is Over..

Take two...

So I had a hectic week filled with appointments, they included Dr. Miyasaki, Dr Kaleb, the Toyota Dealer, class on Monday and Thursday and A.P. World review sessions at school. So the weekend made up for all of my running around.
Friday I met up with Micheled and her co-worker at Bond St. a sushi resturant in Beverly Hills in the Thopmpson Hotel. The girl chat was awesome and the food was soo delicious and better than that it was Free. So after that I drove home to hunt for some Briteny Spears tickets.

I managed to buy some on ticket master and they were amazing seats for #170..ouch right, but sooo worth it. Jimmy came over to pick me up and we drove in his car and did the usual...dance, sing, laugh all the way there. Jimmy and I had a great time, and it makes me wish I spent more time with him.
Saturday I did loads of laundry and prepped for the photoshoot Charla set up. We ran a bit late in getting to downtown L.A. but we arrived to 7 anxious photgraphers. My dress is ruined but it was well worth it...the pics are all I ever wanted. It makes up for my real ones...hahhaa.

We rushed home to meet Amanda and Telly for dinner. Sushi Roku was delish as usual and then we can back to look at our old party pics. I love them, and I wish D and I could hang out with them more.

Sunday we went to the Hermosa pier to meet the USC crew for brunch and drinks. Again I loved hanging out with married couples, and wish we could do it more often.

I am sad my vacation is over...now I am looking forward to my Summer Vacation...
