Girlish Time

So this week I have been alone, very alone. Sam has spent every waking minute at work. He is working on a crazy case right now that is filing at the end of next week. I mean every waking minute, as in I am in bed before he gets home and he wakes me up in the morning before he leaves.

Last weekend I spent my alone time setting up our Christmas tree, Christmas shopping in chinatown (my favorite place to spend my free time, the place makes me laugh lots), watching wonderful movies that Sam would NEVER watch with me. ( I am talking about movies that involve miley cyrus and hillary duff).

But today was different today I got a little more time with him. This was due to the fact that he was the "back up" Santa Clause for our ward Christmas brunch. So after barely being able to wake up at 9 this morning (since he returned home from work last night at 4am.) We ran out the door so as Santa Clause wouldn't be late to his own debut.


He really looked fat and jolly in that suit. At the party I won an awesome prize from playing Bingo. I call it our new puppy, Pottery Barn.

It is the squishiest, softest blanket I have ever owned. Our awesome Relief Society President is a "buyer" for pottery barn (coolest job ever by the way) so she hooked the party up with sweet presents.

So today with my afternoon alone I went on a run in the park and then watched the sunset at the beach. It was def romantic alone time. Weird, but romantic.


Although I definitely would prefer to have husband time, I have really enjoyed my girlish time. Well, it is now time for me to say goodbye so I can be off to watch another teen drama that makes me wish I had true teen love and not wish for it- all at the same time.

MUCCCCCCChhhhhhhhhhooo Thankfulllll

BEST. WEEKEND. EVER.






Rollerblading in Golden Gate Park Thanksgiving morning.





There was so much joy that even when I fell down wet cement stairs I felt happy!



The boys played flag football and then Leigh joined in (she had been aching all morning to play). She had a ridiculous amount of falls, leaps, jumps and no ball contact at all. She put on quite the show. I don't even know if the guys realized she was on the field.




My new birthday coat.

Thanksgiving dinner in Chinatown.







One of my favorite pictures of bryDyl of all time.




I miss em so much!
(I have a million more pictures but I can't get pictures off my camera so it's your lucky day)

k. bye.

I Love Visitors!

Spur of the moment decision for Kath and Darci to join us last weekend in the city. I love sharing San Francisco, especially with people like these people who really appreciate it.


First of all we walked downtown and shared them where we work.


Went to the top of Sam's building.



Went out to the piers and walked around the Farmer's market. Look at this awesome Candid shot Andrea (Sam's cousin) took.


She also got this awesome shot of Daren (another cousin), who lives here in San Francisco with us.


And this amazing, confusing candid of Katherine. Poor Kathy.


This happens to be where we ran into Paul Walker with his 14 daughter, just shopping along side of us on Haight.


I llllove SF. (Almost as much as I hate the Breaking Dawn movie that just came out.)


This is me and Kath just gossiping out front of Daren's girlfriends AMAZING place. She lives on the top of Russian Hill.




And this is the amazing view from Daren's girlfriends apartment.


It was an awesome weekend.



Love and Hugs and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

My O So Special Bird Day

I would have posted about this way long ago but I couldn't find a way to upload all my awesome pictures. But now I have them and now I am sharing them. Looking at them makes me happy all over again.

Before I talk about the bird day I just wanted to share a few pictures from our October month.


Pumpkin Patch and Pumpkin Mac and Cheese in the Half Moon Bay harvest festival.




Anyways for my birthday I was able to work the morning shift (5:30am-2pm) so I could have the afternoon for myself. Celebrating at work consisted of a delicious cake, being covered in whip cream, a rap song sung by a fellow co-worker, flowers from another co-worker, lots of weirded out customers, and Sam and his co-workers coming into my work and all singing me happy birthday.

Afterwards I went home to enjoy a nap before Sam got home. I came home to a clean apartment that was wonderfully decorated!! When Sam got home we decided to take the cable car (first time for the both of us. Also did you know the cable car is the only mobile national monument?) We took it over to the marina.




We brought our rollerblades and longboard and we rolled along the marina.


Then we went out to dinner at this amazing Mexican restaurant.

Delicious.

When we got home. I had to go to the bathroom ubbbbeeeerrrr bad! So as I was sitting on the toilet with the door open (obviously), I thought I heard noises in my apartment. Good thing I had a bunch of friends hiding in my apartment while I was sitting bear bummed on the toilet. Anyways besides that awesome moment, the night was quite pleasant full of games and laughing and of course presents!


Then that weekend we went and played croquette on the beach with some friends. It was so beautiful!
