Weekend Review and Beginning the Move

Hello my little Pancakes <3

Happy Tuesday!

seriously though, why isn't it Friday already?

I spent Thursday-Saturday in rainy San Diego (working a booth for my Dad at a convention)

boooorinnnngggg

But at least I got to spend some time with my parents.

I came back on Saturday night so I could have a "day off" before heading back to the office.

Sunday, D and I went for Champagne Brunch at El Torito and then started our "big move"!

There is NO WAY all my clothes are fitting in my new closet.

Our new home (aka his parents' guest house) is getting a make over this week!!

Switching out carpet for hardwood floors, painting cabinets, 

fixing tile in the bathroom, painting our bedroom.

I'm so excited for it all to be finished so we can finish the move and put together our home!!

I can't tear myself away from Pinterest these days looking at unrealistic Home Decor ideas!!

Any tips for closet storage? or moving? or home decor ideas?

Throwback Thursday - Cabo 2011

Happy Thursday Bloggies!

This week has gone SO SLOW!! Derek was in Vegas for work - and I spent my nights at home packing up my life into a million boxes and making my apartment look like an episode of Hoarders...

I'm ready to just throw it all out and start over. not really.

Derek and I have also been talking about planning our Vacay 2013!!!

I've been begging D to go on a vacation for yearssss (k, maybe only a year but it feels like a lifetime)

Looks like its going to be an all-inclusive Jamaican experience!

I think I need to become friends with a travel agent because I don't even know where to begin.

Thursday Throwback

We went to CABO in 2011 with my parents and had the BEST time.

The beach, jet-skiing, booze-cruses, spa day, amazing drinks, so fun...

It was the first time D spent that much one on one time with my dad (talk about intimidating)

but by day 2 he had my dad playing pool volleyball and taking shots (without me!!!)

Can we go back there? Right now? I'm over work this week.

Pool Day

They got very creative with towels and my stuffed animal (Zeebies)...

El Squid Roe

This ^ is the most famous night of the trip (and a huge step in out relationship).

We went for dinner and I ordered a steak. (16 oz. to be exact)

Derek always made fun of me for eating "like the girl" when we go out to eat... but this night 

changed everything.

I ate the steak. the WHOLE steak. and sides. and his sides. and then ordered dessert.

My parents were not so shocked (sometimes a girl just wants to eat!!) but Derek had no idea it was possible for me to eat anything other than a half of a salad. 

 Booze Cruise... <3 romantic sunset before the party began..

I can't wait for our next trip together. This time it will be just.the.two.of.us.

Scarfs, Boots, and Rain

Happy THURSDAY....one.more.day.of.work

The rain came to L.A. which means everyone forgot how to drive..

so much traffic

But at least its Thursday which means tomorrow is 

Friday/Payday/Weekend/LastDayBeforeDecember(?!crazy!?)

This rain makes me SO sleepy.

Nothing sounds more amazing right now than being at home in front

of the fireplace with some pillows, blankets, and a Venti Creme Brulee Latte from Starbucks.

...sigh...

Throwback Thursday:

Our First Hanukkah/Christmas together Derek and I bought 2 little (fake) Trees and a Lakers Bear ornament...

Last Year (2nd Hanukkah/Christmas) we put the trees back up and added an inflatable Christmas Snoopy, and decorated our Stockings.

I wanted to get ornaments together each year so when we are 

older we have one from every Christmas together.

FAIL: Derek put up a fight last year over a stupid ornament and refused to buy one.

I will never let him live it down.

This year we are getting our first real tree. (Christmas Tree with Hanukkah colors? Maybe?)

We already bought 2 (He's trying to make up for last year) ornaments.

I can't wait to decorate!!

Work Hard // Play Hard

I'm a Country music kinda girl .... but I do get down to some Rap.

Last night Derek and I went to see Wiz Khalifa with at the Gibson.

I had about 15 minutes to switch out of my work clothes and into something Wiz appropriate.

I have straight hair - like can't hold a curl straight.

I decided to use my 15 minutes to rush curl my hair for the night.

Why does my hair always turn out better when i'm rushed vs. when i have all the time in the world?!

It was so fun, but i'm kinda dying at work today.

I may be the only person on the planet who takes a car nap before work.

but every second of sleep counts today.

Lighters in the Air. 

Wiz Khalifa.

And today feels a lot like...
