this is halloween!

Oh halloween, my third favorite holiday...we had a party last weekend. we played at our place for a bit, piled everyone into greg's nasty white "free candy" van, and hit the scaregrounds for a little haunted house action, then back to our place for a scary-ish movie, prom night... oh how it made me laugh. Not on my list of favorites, but it was fun! Greg and I dressed up as Juno and Bleaker. (as seen above) Tonight (real halloween) we are heading to escondido to greet some trick-or-treaters, carve some pumpkins and celebrate the festivities with a giant plate of carne asada fries. what fun! happy halloween family, friends and strangers who look at my blog!

Julian

These fall days aren't feeling so fall-ish in san diego, therefore we have planned a trip to the mountains. I not only long for the colorful leaves, crisp air and beautiful scenery, but also the sweet fudge, luscious carmel apples and world (okay, maybe just california) famous apple pie. 4 short days until i get to breathe the glorious Julian California air. expect pictures.

Gregisms

my sweet husband gregory sometimes gets his words mixed up. according to family and friends this has been a regular occurance throughout his entire life. I thought I would share with you a few examples. Some before i knew him, and some since. enjoy!

-greg attends his sunday school class one sunday as a wee lad. his parents ask him after class how it was. gregory responds saying "well the teacher always picks the girls to do everything and never the boys. she is SO puberty!" ...you mean prejudice? 

-at 14 greg was on a ferris wheel with some older girls and they asked him if he was a virgin gregory responds saying "no! i eat meat!"

these next are fairly recent....sad, but true.

-as gregory and some friends sit in a spa one friend speaks of her fingers getting super wrinkled beyond human tendencies. she explains that the same thing happens to her brother. greg then replies "hmm, it must be in your genitals" ....you mean GENES greg? haha

- we were on the computer and some picture popped up of a girl with seriously dimpled skin...greg looks with wide eyes and says "oh man! that girl has SO much glucose!" ...you mean cellulite???

- we were watching tv and a preview for a new keira knightly movie was playing...greg was all "she always does movies where she has to wear a boustrissis" haha oh gregory...those are called corsets!

i love my husband.

wedding day!

April 26th 2008

for family members without facebook...

Here are some shots from our engagements, wedding pictures to come! (click to enlarge)

shells and straps.

-90210 was a repeat last night and it fully made me realize how completely obsessed i am. the disappointment that showered my entire mind, body and soul created this awareness. New episodes complete me, and now i have to wait TWO whole weeks for more.

-little sister shell's bridal shower is on saturday. i cant believe little shell is getting married so soon!...how does everyone feel about kinky gifts presented at the shower? i personally get a kick out of something that will make someone blush, and i have no shame in giving such items...i'm just not sure if i should be aware of the crowd and give these things in private, or just go ahead and let everyone share in the fun?

-clear bra straps make me cringe. seeing a girl walking around in a tube top (which is bad enough in itself) with these clear straps trying to be invisible to the world, but clearly NOT. I saw this today and just needed to set the record straight. 

-Husband and i went to urban outfitters this evening, and the wall art is all on sale. i'm talking about the massive pictures on canvas. SO cute, and like 50% off. Arica- they have a "birds on a wire" picture and i totally thought of you.  a great purchase for sure.

-6 months later, still no wedding video. maybe someday.

meet my friend meaghan

my sweet friend Meaghan Smith from my dear homeland oh canada is one of the most talented human beings I know. She is a doll and i highly recommend you check her out. She was recently signed by warner/sire and is well on her way to huge success. I had the privilege (along with greg, steph and ash) to see her show last night at the troubadour in hollywood. she was AMAZING and it was so great to see her on stage. the audience LOVED her (of course they did)....they even requested an encore...it was precious...she got back on stage and was all "thank you SO much you guys!! i'm just the opening act!" it was wonderful. I was so happy to see her, it had been far too long. She will be back next month and she has a few shows lined up in LA, if any of you can make it, i highly encourage you go. you will NOT be disapointed! check out her website and download her music on itunes! it's good stuff! promise! www.meaghansmith.com

her name up in lights!

waiting in line

more waiting

the lad on guitar is her husband. 

a tribute to my sisters

Two of my best friends in this entire world are my newly gained sisters, Stephanie Ellen and Michelle Linda. We have been friends even longer than Greg and I have known each other. My littlest sister Michelle is getting married on Nov. 22nd! (YAY SHELL!) I love everything about Logan and I think he will be a wonderful addition to the fam, however Logan goes to school in Utah, which means ONE thing...Michelle will moving to utah. sad right? Now Yesterday we found out that Stephanie got accepted to BYU-Hawaii!! (YAY STEPH!!) but....BYU-Hawaii is obviously located IN Hawaii...which means one thing....Stephanie has to MOVE there...DOUBLE sad right?? so basically as of january I am left sisterless. literally. I know they will be back, and in two years time, we will ALL be together again, I'll just be lost without them here. I love my sisters.
