Little Sis Tears it up

Give me a J. Give me an E. Give me an N....the Slipp Tustin High Cheer legacy lives on. Check out Jena and her squad performing at half time of Friday night's game. Way to go Jena! That's my sister :)

The UK does it again


Tuesday night Bry and I headed up to Hollywood for a rockin show at the Palladium. The UK seems to have a knack for producing great bands. If you haven't heard of this band yet...you're missing out. Check them out at www.arcticmonkeys.com.

Tea Time & Wedding Bells



My beautiful & precious friend Kelli is getting married in 34 days! We had a blast celebrating her with a shower filled with friends, family, a loose tea bar, candy station, yummy tea sandwiches and a surprise visit by Chad via video.

Rwanda Here I come!



That's right 5 shots total, 2 on the left and 3 on the right. The Yellow Fever was the doozie. I still have to go back for a few more in a series but the worst is behind me. I came home to a nice treat...my passport sitting in the mail a whole 2 weeks early. Thank you Lord! Looks like I'm all set and heading to Rwanda. Woo hoo! Anyone have bug spray recommendations?

Labor Day Oasis






Bry and I enjoyed a wonderful lazy and relaxing weekend with Mama and Papa Charlton in their new desert retreat. Getting in late Friday we were greeted with joyful smiles and hugs, even Scoobie came out to say hello. We enjoyed our tour of one of the cutest places ever! Bravo to Mama Charlton for her keen decorating skills. The place looks cuter than a model and is a luxurious retreat of comfort.

Saturday morning we enjoyed a lovely breakfast at the La Quinta Resort and took a sentimental walk of the grounds. Once we reached the point of melting we headed back to the comfort of air conditioning and UCLA football. We enjoyed watching the PAC-10 opener as our Bruins conquered Standford. The skies also provided some entertainment as we got to watch and listen to desert thunderstorms in the distance while had blue skies overhead.

Good food, fun conversation, sunshine, football, reading, naps and watching movies... it doesn't get much better than this.
