Toshiba Classic

Some friends of ours were nice enough to offer us some 18th hole box seats for the Toshiba Classic that they weren't able to use. It couldn't have come at a better time. My doctor and I were working on my medications, and long story short, I was having a pretty off week (doing much better now though) and a relaxing golf tournament with my hubby was JUST what I needed! : ) 

Our view from the 18th hole. 

It was just SO fun to be able to sit in such a beautiful, quite place and watch the groups finish. 

I took this photo a bit late, but they had such a lovely lunch buffet all set up. The food was so good! 

It was a bit of a chilly day, and I was so happy when Brody came back with some hot chocolate to sip on. : ) 

Our view back down 18. 

It was such a fun day!! I can't tell you what a joy it was to be able to go and have such a nice area to sit relax and enjoy the tournament in. I've really come to love golf, it's such a beautiful sport! Thank you again SO much Mike and Laura, we missed having you there with us this year! : ) 

Catching up (March edition)

I am SO behind on posts!! I did a couple smaller ones tonight, but still have about 4 more larger posts in the works (all a little out of order too. But most all in March, so it's not too far off. haha). 

I'll get caught back up soon! But probably won't be till after Brodys big surprise Birthday weekend! : ) 

Love you all! Thank you for continuing to check back in with us. : ) 

Shopping in the rain

We've had some rainy days recently (iv'e noticed that they like to come on the weekends only...not sure how the weather knows this?). We needed to venture out to South Coast Plaza for some errands, and a rainy saturday afternoon seemed like the perfect day for it! 

Any day that I can break out some boots and a fun umbrella is a good day in my book! ; )

Plus, you can't beat the sound and smell of rain. <3 

SOCO Farmers Market

A couple weeks ago we stopped by the SOCO Farmers Market. The center this is held at is mainly a home design center, with varies furniture showrooms. But on Sat the parking lot turns into a great farmers market and food truck event. 

We loved it! Familiarized ourselves with the stands that come, and tried a new food truck and a little ice cream stand. : )  

 My favorite part was finding a local honey stand! I have heard off and on for awhile that taking a bit of local honey in the mornings can help build up an immunity to the local seasonal pollen. It seems to be so effective for people, and I am excited to see if I can tell a difference. It says, ideally to start this about 2 months before allergy season. Here is an interesting site I found on the matter if anyone is interested in reading into it. : )

It was all such a great find and we are excited to go back soon! 

(Fisheye)

 Several weeks ago while we were on one of our Apple Store walk throughs (that store is too fun!), we found this nifty little thing called an Olloclip. It's a little double sided lens that snaps onto your iPhone. One side is Fisheye and the other is wide angle and Macro. It's been really fun to play with! 

Here are a couple shots from the night we got them. We stopped in at the Newport Beach Temple  for our first little test run!

Flashback Europe 2008

This new computer is SO fun!! I'm getting around to putting together videos I have wanted to do for years! One being our week of driving all over Europe back in 2008, visiting glass and crystal factories for work (before meeting my family in Paris for another week), topping it off with Disneyland Paris. It is still a week I will never forget and one of the most epic trips we have ever had!

If you want to read a re-cap from that week, you can find it {Here}

Enjoy!

(and as always, I wish I took more photos/videos on this trip. haha)

The 'One Republic' songs that this is set to, is because no matter what country we were in, these songs came on the radio about 1 in every 4 or 5. : ) Lot's of inside jokes for us with these songs on this trip. : )

Gaslamp Getaway Slideshow

R&R was our big goal this past weekend, and we killed it! It was such a fun, low key and relaxing weekend. So nice to just lounge around in the sun. The weather couldn't have been more perfect! Another hit, in our favorite getaway spot! : )

More to come.... : )
