27 dresses.

One of my best friends is getting married this October. I'm super excited to be apart of her big day! 

It's been a fun time trying to pick out bridesmaids dresses as well. Lots of pictures back and forth.

I wish we could just go to Macy's or Nordstrom and pick a dress since we would be more likely to wear it again. The hard part with that is finding the dress in all of our sizes in different Macy's in California. I guess that's the good part about Davids Bridal. 

We still haven't decided on the dress but here are a few of the ones we tried on. =) 

Now it's time to start planning the bachelorette party! VEGAS here we come! =) 

I'm not looking forward to being there for my birthday again this year but it will be fun to be with friends. =) 

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo was a really long time ago I realize. Well not that looong ago but it sure feels like it. 

My Madre was born on Cinco de Mayo! So my sister and I celebrated with her during the day. We took out to lunch and we got pedicures. It was a fantastic day! 

Happy Birthday Mom! =)

Later, I went to a team fundraiser for Relay for Life. One of our teammates hosted a dinner party. We all just paid $10 bucks and she provided a wonderful taco dinner. And someone even had mustaches to play with. No cinco de mayo is complete without one of those. =) 

After dinner, the fiesta continued with a whole bunch of friends in Nevada City. It was a very successful day! Lot's of fun! 

This summer is shaping up to be a good one! =)

quote of the day.

"Change is the essence of life; be willing to surrender who you are for what you could become."-unknown.


I just stumbled across this quote. I feel like it's speaking volumes to me right now.

I have recently watched the new show called The Conversation. It's really good. The woman are open and honest. It's refreshing to hear celebrities talk so openly about life.

Weekend Roudup.

This weekend was glorious! It was the first taste of summer and it had me wanting more!

Friday: After work Anthony and I went to sushi. We have been craving it but sadly we couldn't go to our favorite place because they were closed. Sushi Q in Nevada city is still a nice treat. After, we strolled around with an ice cream cone. There is the cutest ice cream shop in Nevada City called Treats. Anthony tried their basil ice cream! Different but surprisingly good! I stuck with the bing cherry. Yum!

Saturday: I spent most of the day running errands in town. Stopped for a smoothie with Anthony. Then spent the afternoon at an open house at a local flower shop. My moms Relay for Life team hosted it. There were snacks and sangria which is my absolute favorite summer drink. It was a successful event!

Later that night, Anthony and I tried a new mexican restaurant and was pleased to find out it was very authentic! We will definitely go back.

Sunday: another day of sunshine. Started the day off with a little walk with a cup of joe. Did some cleaning, went to the laundry mat, and I had a relay for life meeting to go to that evening. We had it at a local brewery so that was nice. Sipped on a few brews while making Relay for Life plans and goals. 

All and all it was a fantastic weekend. I hope the cold front coming in passes by quickly so we can get more of this weather. Come on summer!  =) 

(please excuse the lack of order in my pictures... I'm using the blogger app on my phone and for some reason it doesn't keep the pictures in order....soooo annoying!) 

Better late.

I forgot to finish sharing photos from my trip to Portland last month. I have been horrible about updating everything (besides Instagram because I'm addicted). I didn't even get these pictures on Facebook yet (omg!!! Lol).

I seriously really liked this city. I think I could fit in nicely there. I also think I could get use to the rain as well? We will see what happens...

Happy Friday!

The move.

Last weekend we moved from the best apartment ever to the country.

It was a stressful and tiring weekend thanks to the rain!

But I'm thankful to my mom who helped me scrub down my house which means I will probably get most of my deposit back (and will definitely have to take her to dinner with).

Now it's time to set up the new house and listen to the crickets. Seriously though, it's so quiet out there! Haha

Friday

Happy Friday!!

I found this picture of my little sister and I while packing. I don't if I have mentioned before but I'm moving. Blah! Isn't moving the worst? Especially when you are moving out to the sticks....oh the things you do for people you love.

Anyway, this weekend will consist of packing, cleaning, more packing, and of course seeing the Hunger Games!! So excited!!

May this Friday ever be in your favor.

Portland: through my stomach.

We had such an awesome time in Portland!! What a lovely city. I could see myself living there. It's such a combination of San Francisco and my hometown of Nevada City. The people are friendly and as far as cities go it seemed like it was affordable.

Plus coming from California the land of taxes, it was nice getting a break from paying sales tax for the weekend. Haha.

Here's a glimpse at all the food that was consumed. Yum...

We went to Stumptown a couple times, checked out the famous Voodoo doughnuts, ate a delicious breakfast at Tasty n Sons, washed down a great dinner with the best drinks at Saucebox, tried a few brews at Bridgeport brewery,  had dessert at Moonstruck chocolate cafe, and checked out a fair share of street food.

I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!!
