Best Birthday already

It is only 12:36am on December 1, 2009 and I feel so seriously blessed to have another birthday. I am so thankful for EVERYTHING. Seriously everything.
7:41am Jeremiah excitedly woke me up to read scriptures.
8:27am Abram wanted to sing happy birthday by himself. It was adorable!
2:30pm Mary dropped off some sweet treats!
7:47pm my first manicure and pedicure!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes

We are expecting a bundle of joy in February. We decided not to find out what we are having.

Happy Anniversay

Jermaine and I have been together for 10 years today.

Our story begins with Bishop Alba and Douglas Shaw. Bishop felt inspired to call Douglas on a mission, Douglas served in Alabama and taught Jermaine the gospel. Jermaine moved to Atlanta, Douglas asked his dad to send someone to meet Jermaine and taa-daa it was me!

On September 29th 1999, we had the our DTR talk (define the relationship). We have been best friends since. He served a mission in Brazil for two years and we endured the long distance relationship by focusing on improving ourselves and helping the people around us.

Then came marriage, two boys, rowdy dawg and a fish named Dorothy.

Summer Blues

I am still working my masters degree. I went back for the summer and ran myself ragged. Therefore no posts :(

Arizona Love

Mom's Trip to see Grandma

California Love

I lived in California for about 8 years while my dad went to U.C. Berkley. Jermaine and I went went back for a wedding and loved seeing everything.

Since we have been together, 10 years this September, we have never taken a trip to California. We went to see my elementary school, the student family housing, Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard street, the Coit Tower, Alcatraz and most importantly great friends.

Where are all my West Coast lovers? What is your favorite California site?
