To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Week in Review (Photo Style) Mostly!

First there was Casino-Day at the Office! My boss won the Entrepreneur of the year award from the Small Business Administration District for a 4-state area. It was a big deal, so we got to have the day off on Thursday to attend the award ceremony and have a little fun at the casino. Not a bad way to get paid, if you ask me.

Friday Diz, Marci and I went to San Onofre to go surfing. So, none of us are very good, yet. But, we are all trying and having a blast. And, I think by the end of the summer, we will all be surfers yet!

Then we made a long trek to IHOP (because although, I maybe shouldn't admit this, I have MAD love for IHOP). We had way too much fun there, probably because it was late and we were all spent. Ever the fashionista, I wore this really rad ensamble! What, it was cold! Helaman was really concerned that I was wearing this in public. But, I tried to argue that IHOP wasn't really "public" especially the one we went to... it was in the middle of nowhere, Mission Viejo.

Saturday was the Bridal shower for Melissa Stiles (soon-to-be-Rowland). It was so much fun. And, who had any idea our backyard could look so good!


Then off to do make-up and hair for prom for my favorite Laurels. Aren't they just precious!?! I think they might be the cutest things ever... well aside from babies of course.

This is the part where the pictures stop. I took my camera to the Newport Dunes, where a whole bunch us got together to watch The Sandlot, which I forgot was a pretty funny movie. I actually took the camera, I pulled it out to take photos when Diz, Marci and I started the bike ride there (which ended up being 20 miles uphill in the snow... ok, minus the snow). Marci and Diz were talking and biking, until we hit the first hill, when I pulled out the camera, the battery died... oh well. It was super fun... until the movie was over, and we had to bike home! But, we must have already forgotten about the painful parts of the ride, we are already talking about doing it again!

I love that you are learning how to surf! I always had a surfer guy fantasy...never came to fruition. Maybe I can live through you a little?
