Stephen was working in Huntington Beach for 2 weeks, so I decided with one day notice to jump on a plane and meet him there on a Friday to spend the weekend together in Southern California. It was the best idea yet!

We got to spend Friday night with our family in Yorba Linda and Saturday in Disneyland and California Adventure!

Everything was so decorated for the Holidays. I feel so fortunate to be able to have experienced Disneyland all lit up for Christmas, it was absolutely gorgeous!

Sunday we traveled all over Southern California and went to the Beach!

Retaining Wall Project

Despite the 90 degree weather we've been getting lately - we got the wall dug out to start on the retaining wall project... More pictures to come as the job progresses!

Formula D Drifting

It was a warm 79 degrees, with full sun for a full day adventure at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, we went with our friends Mike & Ryan. It was a fun day of visiting vendor booths and collecting "swag" (free posters and promotional materials). The racing and drifts were very intense! Tanner Foust won - he drives a Scion, sponsored by Rockstar Energy Drink.

We were lucky enough to run into Courtney Day, Matt & Steve's 'celebrity crush' since high school!!

1 year anniversary!

Yesterday marked the date of completion of our first year of marriage. So many things have changed; yet many have remained the same. We've been together for 6 1/2 years now, and have faced quite a few challenges & jubilations down the road.
Our first year of marriage was very exciting: new home ownership, house & yard remodels, weekend trips, new friends, first holidays in our house - all the while continuing to love each other more every day and grow together as a family.

We spent our anniversary hiking and camping all over Moran State Park on Orcas Island. The weather could not have been more gorgeous!! It was Diesel's first camping trip and he did really well.
