Some fun pictures from vacation

Here are a few pictures of us at the San Diego Temple. We really had a great time and enjoyed the time we had there, especially since our 11 Anniversary is coming up in 4 days.

Back from Vacation

We are now back from vacation and starting to get a little back into the swing of things before starting work again. Photos will be coming soon.

A fun evening

Dan and I enjoyed a fun evening with my Aunt Lillian who made us home made tacos which were very delicious. It was good company and great food.

Feeling good :-)

This morning was one of those busy days trying to get things accomplished before going to work. I love getting things accomplished, it sure makes me feel good and gets me in a good mood. Now onto the creative side of the day.

Long Time no Blog

I haven't been blogging very well lately and I just figured that this is a great time to get back into it. So for those few reading this blog look forward to me blogging more from now on.

Vacation to Washington State (2)

Here are a few pictures from our Washington Trip.

Vacation to Washington State

Dan and I got back from our vacation to Washington State on Tuesday the 19th. We had so much fun visiting with Dan's relatives. His relatives showed us a great time. THey took us to Mt Reneir, Mt St. Hellens, and many more fun places.

It's always fun to be with family.

HAPPY Mother's Day!!

I just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there.

Below are the roses Dan gave me with a carnation inside that a very nice coworker (Courtney) gave me.

Some Time

It has been some time since I have written and I just want to say the time just seems to fly by. It seemed like it was just the beginning of 2009 and now 1/3 of 2009 is gone. It just makes me think and want to use my time to the best that I can.

Haircuts

Dan and I went to go get our haircut tonight and I was brave and asked for my hair to get trimmed kind of short. Well see how I end up liking how short it actually is.

Weekends

Weekends are what I look forward to. To me they are a time to relax and of course be able to get things done around the house that I can't in the week. I Love the Weekend!!

The Weather

California weather is something that I have enjoyed ever since my Mom had us move from Utah to here. Lately though the weather doesn't seem like it can make up it's mind. One day it will be in the mid 70's and the next mid 60's and close to rain. Well in any event the weather here in California is pretty mild and I am thankful for it.

HAPPY EASTER

I just wanted to tell everyone HAPPY EASTER.











I hope everyone can somehow know the true meaning of Easter.

Paying it forward

Here's how this works:
The first 3 people who leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me.
What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise!
The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going. All you have to do is anticipate the arrival of your gift!

Spring Time

I love Spring time and this time of the year. Not only does it mean new life and beautiful flowers but it also means AngelsBaseball is not far from beginning. In fact the Angels HOmestand for the Season is on Monday, April 06, 2009. I am very excited for this. GO ANGELS!!

OCMCO Concert - Segerstrom Hall Part II

This is concert was part of the second season of the Orange County Mormon Choral Organization's 2nd season. They sing 3 times a year at Segerstrom's Hall (Christmas, Easter & July 4th). They don't sing on those exact dates. It seems as though each concert just becomes better and better. The last 2 concerts have been sold out before the date of the concert comes up.
Now onto the Easter performance: it just was the best that they have done. What it is they keep learning and get more organized each time that they are able to concentrate on what really needs to be taken care of. All I can say is that this was a fantastic performance. I would suggest that anyone that wants to get tickets for the next performance then they go on sale on May 01 so call directly on the day and get your tickets fast so you can get a seat and a spot you want to sit in.

OCMCO Concert - Segerstrom Hall

I am so excited for Dan in his 4th opportunity to sing at the Segerstrom Hall with the Orange County Mormon Choral Organization. 'That Easter Morn'. Will talk about the performance later.

White Clover Grow Me Kit

This morning as I got to work there was a 'White Clover' - Grow me kit on my desk. My boss had given it to all her staff as a contest to see who can get it to grow and for how long. I am actually quite excited about it and we will see how I do on this. In Junior High I was part of the Green Thumb Club. That doesn't mean that I have a green thumb but I would love to see how I do on this. Will give updates as it comes along.

Images from our walk yesterday

Dan and I went for a walk yesterday after he got home from work and this is a lake we see as we walk by.

There is another view of the lake.

This is a tree that is a little further on than the lake.

But as I was saying Dan and I went for a walk and sometimes I have a hard time and I need incentives. So I took a picture of a bush which is below along with another picture that shows that we are almost finished with the uphill part of the walk.

This image of Dan is one that I also took while on our walk and I really like it and his expression.

To be fair to Dan, he doesn't quit like this image of him but I told him I did.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Well today is St. Patrick's Day.

Sunday's

Lately I am just really enjoying Sunday's.  Getting up and ready for church.  Then while at church completely enjoying the spirit there.  Then the rest of the day is quite peaceful and I honestly am quite enjoying it.  I guess as I progress I am learning more things and understanding them as well.  So I am Thankful for Sunday's for the recharge.

Testing

This is a testing post to see if this actually does work.

 

Camera and its settings

Dan and I have had our camera for about maybe 2 years and I am finally seeming interested in all of it's features. Here is an example: The first of Dan is with the flash. The second is with settings I am using and without flash.

Well then I have a couple more that are probably better.

Learning Curve

Lately there have been many things in my life that have made me think and learn more about myself and sometimes things I need to change and make better. I am so grateful for being able to change and make myself better. I also have learned that I need to not put so much pressure on myself. I think I am just starting to enjoy life more and the learning curves of life.

Sunday and Spring Forward

Well today really was an enjoable day at church and I learned a lot. It has always been hard for me to get used to the time change though. By the time I actually get used to the time change it's time to change again. There is a consolation prize though, more sunlight to go walking after work.

New Blog - Angels Baseball

Well I have been debating for quite awhile in how to get my blog looking better. So apparently this is what I decided. The Angels are doing great this SPring Training. They are now 8 - 1 and no ther team has gotten that or is the same. Here's to hoping for a great regular season.

Angels Baseball Is Coming - Spring Training Has Begun

I am so very excited about Baseball season and the Angels chances. So far in the first 8 Spring Training games the Agels are on top 7 - 1, which is great! I can't wait to see how they will do this season.

Grateful for Another Day!!

Today I woke up with the feeling of being grateful for this new day.

This is a picture of the Purple Tulips that I got recently.

Celebrating another birthday

On Monday we celebrated Dan's Mom's birthday. We got her the some tulips and I kept the purple one's.

Everyone enjoyed the lobster tales for dinner including my neice.

I had never had lobster before so I decided to be brave a take a taste and of course with my picky taste buds I didn't like it very much but at least I was brave enough to try a taste.

My neice received the Agels Rally monkey at school adn we had the very nice ice cream cake from Baskin Robins for desert. I am really hoping that the Angels will have a really good season and go far. So far in Spring training they have won 5 games and only lost 1 game. GO ANGELS!!!!

Strawberry Pancakes!!

Oh how delicious thou art. This is what I made this morning for breakfast.
