RIP

Connor Anthony Osko

March 16th, 2009------- April 24th, 2009

Too Short. Too Young. Too Cute. Soooo Sad.

Life isn't guaranteed to any of us but its something that is expected, especially when you are a healthy new born baby. There is this strange phenomenon that took baby Connor's life, it's called SIDs (Sudden Infant Death) and it's just that... sudden. It takes about 1 out of every 2000 babies born each year.

I'm so sad for my cousin Kyla and her fiance Anthony's loss. Its tremendous and it breaks my heart. I'm sad in the fact that I never got to meet the little guy. He was only 5 weeks old and I had time to see him. But that's just it... I didn't and I didn't know. I know that he was wonderful baby because I know his parents and they are great people. I know that this will be hard for them but I also know that my cousin, Kyla will make the most of the horrible situation that she was handed and help others. She has a zest for life that most envy (myself included) and she will turn her lemons into lemonade as time heals

her wounds.

pondering

Do you ever wonder where the people from your past are? What they are doing? Who they have become?

People come in and out of your life in a matter of minutes, hours, days, months, and years. I feel the impact of this. I think the majority of people that i have spent time with have influenced my life in some form or another. It's crazy to think of the number of people this could amount to.

I was just reminiscing with Erica and thinking about all the fun times we have had together. Also the fact that I'm stepping back in time and having a Bunker Babe reunion this weekend has brought back a ton of old memories.

Have a good weekend!

daydreaming

Last weekend was my friend of 20+ years wedding. We have known each other forever! It was a really fun day and I was glad to be apart of it. I didn't really take any pictures but I happen to follow the blog of the photographer that did. Click here and hopefully she will have some up soon.
And now they are in ROME on their honeymoon. How freaking perfect is that? I'm glad she got her dream honeymoon! I can't wait to see the pictures!

Speaking of Rome... I need to go somewhere... now. I have a slight case of cabin fever. Going to New Zealand has really sparked the travel bug inside of me. I already knew that I wanted to travel but i didn't realize that my desire would be this strong. I just need to GO!

Here's a list of things I want to do in the near future:

1. NEW YORK (Ant and I are going to try and plan a trip there in the fall)

2. Disneyland.... for obvious reasons. It's the happiest place on earth. duh.

3. Somewhere tropical. I'm thinking Hawaii because I have never been. I would love to go to the US Virgin Islands too. Aruba, Belize, Fiji. JUST TAKE ME! :)

4. Road Trip in the USA


Well these are the few that I know I might get to do at least this year. Next year traveling abroad will be insight. Europe and Japan here I come!

These Days...

These are the days that make it hard to be at work.

These are the days that make me want more from my little life.

These are the days that give me butterflies in my tummy.

These are the days that I can't wait to break free to breathe the fresh air.

These are the days that i long for and need.

These are the days that make me the most happy.

Ant and I enjoying one of these days a couple years back.

tweet tweet..

I'm becoming quite the little tweeter. I wasn't sure about it at first but im liking it now. It's kinda fun.

Come join the party. Everyones doing it. ;) Follow me!

B-E-A-UTIFUL!

It's a good day. A perfect day.

The sun is shinning and the sky is a beautiful blue.

I'm breathing. Alive. And there is no day like today.


I'm excited for tonight. I'm taking my friends sushi virginity away and introducing her to the best (the world) our town has to offer, Sushi in the Raw. I hope she will like it as much as I do. (Mom, your next... prepare yourself!)

The SF treat!

I'm headed to San Francisco this weekend for my friends Bachelorette party!

It should be a really good time!

I'm a bridesmaid and the girls and I planned a pretty fun weekend.

We are staying in a cute boutique hotel called Hotel Adagio

and we are set to meet up with a group and do a club hop with Three Babes and a Bus!

I'm really excited!

All that's left is to decide where to go for dinner.... hmmm....

a friend..

I had dinner the other night with my long time friend Ryan who is by far the craziest guy I know but in a good way. It was fun catching up and telling him my stories from New Zealand because he has been there before so he actually knew what I was talking about. He told me all about his next big adventure that he will be doing. He will be hiking the entire 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail which takes you from the Mexico boarder to the Canadian boarder. He will start in the middle of April and hopefully be done by September. Can I just say...how..insane..is.. this..???
But on the other hand it's very inspirational for me as well. He has always been super adventurous and just seems to go for what he wants. I think we can all draw inspiration from people like this and it's even better if you are someone like this yourself but let's just face it.. we all can't be. I can't wait to hear about the trials of the trail . :-)

Just annoyed..

I was supposed to get my hair cut today but my stinkin hair stylist is sick. My hair is really bugging me right now!!! AHHHHHH!!!! GRRRR!!!!!!! Just needed to complain a tad.

well back to work. damn.

Snowy Days

I love when it snows!

We only get a few good snow storms a year. Last night was a good one.

It was beautiful! I took a little walk this morning around 10. Usually I would be at work but we cancelled it because trying to drive any of our cars would have been insane. Especially mine. lol

I walked down to a local coffee shop and ordered a hot chocolate and a donut. :)

Yum!

Grass Valley is pretty when it snows. My favorite part is in the early morning walking outside and hearing nothing... not the slightest noise. Just the silence of the snow falling.

Today is good.
