sunshine.

that awful day spoken of below was made lovely with the help of a couple friends and the love of my life. i was sitting on our couch bumming about our broken car, when i get a text from a pal saying she had cupcakes for me. she didn't even know the bad news. heaven sent. after that, a kind friend offered to bring pizza for dinner and watch wipeout with us...he didn't know my bad news either. heaven sent. and as if that wasn't enough...sweet husband came home from work with the most beautiful bouquet of sunflowers i've ever laid eyeballs on, my favorite chocolate, ice cream, AND a sweet card that reminded me that it was only a car. :)

now THAT is sunshine on a cloudy day!

just my luck.

let me take you back a few years...2006 to be exact. it was around the month of april...maybe even may. i purchased a pretty new car. a black mazda 3 and ohhh boy was i happy. my first car. brand new. so good. my dear pal Ashleigh and I decided to take a lovely drive to julian for some famous apple pie. Ash was driving my car, as i was still a little frightened to drive in unfamiliar territory and as we were cruising the winding roads singing along to The Veronicas...a drunk idiot on his motor cycle totaled my brand new car. so new that i hadn't even made the first payment yet. it cost more to rebuild that car than what i payed for it. bummer right? bad luck right? thats what i thought. until today happened. remember that one time...we just got a new car. i loaded sweet baby girl in for a quick trip to the park before nap time. we were cruising down the street singing along to The Jonas Brothers... slowing down for a red light ahead when BANG. another one of earths idiotic humans slammed into my pretty new car. so new we haven't even made the first payment yet. what are the odds. this is a conspiracy against me owning a completely unharmed car for longer than 3 weeks.

i. don't. get. it.

alive.

i got a little burnt out on blogging. i did. it's the truth. and i'm not sayin i'm back full force, but i figured i should at least let the family and other out-of-towners who read this know that we are still alive and well!

i dyed my hair back to dark, i have red nail polish on my fingers and toes, i just had an AMAZING game of yahtzee (seriously amazing...five yahtzees and a 738 total. no kidding.) and i'm trying to think of a way to make money in my spare time. i like having my own money. i need it. if you have any ideas for me...i'd love to know.

baby girl is not so much baby anymore. she's big. real big. and silly. and so much fun!

we might be moving soon. it's a maybe. cheaper rent and more space sounds appealing...even if leaving the ocean breeze doesn't. i'll keep you posted.

i guess summer is supposed to start here this weekend...oh good. now that i'm starting to crave fall and all. silly southern california.
