On Cloud 9 All Over Again
I am so eager for my little one to be born and I am only 8 weeks along. Heard the heartbeat last Friday, January 30th and it made everything seem that much more real. My sunshine didn't look like much on the ultrasound, looked like a blob. But there is no mistaking the sound of … Continue reading On Cloud 9 All Over Again
Mommy
I find myself daydreaming quite often about the mommy I want to be. I can't help but notice how electronics and technology have taken over and in a way stolen a special piece of childhood from kids. What happened to imagination? Going outside to play. Building things, discovering things, jumping in puddles, rolling down grassy … Continue reading Mommy
A Day Well Spent
It Said Positive!
So my honey and I were married this past October and after 10 years of traveling (many times) outside the country, attending more Vegas pool parties than we could count, and hanging out late nights with friends, we kind of knew we were ready to turn the page to our love story. November came and … Continue reading It Said Positive!
Death, a sobering experience.
Today I attended my cousin's funeral and was in awe of the out-pour of love from the 400 (plus) people who gathered in her memory to lay her to rest. I managed to find a single seat in the very back row and I sat among complete strangers since there was not a seat available … Continue reading Death, a sobering experience.

David and I have been talking about creating our own separate boards for what seems like "way too long now." Truth be told, I've … Continue reading Dream Boards
2015 Jumpstart
It's January 2nd and that time of the year to state your resolutions. I know I am not the only one who wants to shed some extra pounds that magically appeared over the holidays. How on earth did I gain them? Commercials about gym memberships, plastic surgery, and the latest home workout equipment annoyingly flood … Continue reading 2015 Jumpstart
Party of One
I have a confession, I eat alone. A lot! Okay it's out. I feel so much better. Some people know this about me and tease me a bit but after years of doing this, I'm finally okay with it. You see, my (now) husband is a super picky eater. Total meat and potatoes type of … Continue reading Party of One

The Best Day of My Life
Waking up on October 25, 2014 was like no other day before. It was my wedding day! I had spent the night at the Temecula Creek Inn with my maid of honor, matron of honor, and cousin. Waking up with these girls by my side was priceless. I stepped out on the balcony to steal a … Continue reading The Best Day of My Life
The Witness of My Life
David and I met in 2005 (at work). I can still recall that Monday in March when he entered the Collateral Loan Processing department. Comments started almost immediately. Co-workers of mine saying things like, "You two look alike. Almost similar to brother and sister." Weird (I thought). Others said, "Oh my goodness, you two would … Continue reading The Witness of My Life
