Angel



Angel is enjoying the sunshine and doing a great job guarding our home. The weather has been crazy out here. I've never seen lightening like this before or heard thunder so loud. It's pretty amazing, but it would definitely be more comforting if Caleb was home with me. Although God's mighty power is evident through these spectacular thunderstorms, they are still frightening to me nonetheless. Thankfully, the power has never gone out when I'm home, but always turned back on by the time I get back!

Feeling very blessed this Sunday for family, friends, and for my wonderful husband and our marriage. Oh, and our dog! 



    My husband with his new "do." I love him, nonetheless. =) 

Happy Sunday!

Quick Update

Wow! Has it really been one month since I last posted? It is amazing how fast time flies when you're having fun! I just wanted to post a quick picture of me and Caleb's Skype session so I can show everyone his "stache" that he's grown since he's been over there.


My handsome husband has a caterpillar on top of his lips! Still trying to get used to it! haha!

This last month has been great mostly because of my 2 week vacation to San Diego to visit my family. It was definitely nice to hang out and spend time with them. The couple weeks I spent with them flew by so fast. Here's some pics to recap my time there:

Our special cousins dinner! 

Me and my godsister Allison. She is growing up so fast and becoming such a fantastic and talented ballerina. 

Food tastings and venue shopping for my sister's wedding! 

Got a chance to go to the famous Del Mar Fair! 

And had a great time riding the rides! 

Loved hanging out with my sister while I was there! Wedding dress shopping (she said YES to a dress! Woohoo!!!), hanging out, and just reuniting was definitely a highlight of the trip! 

Me and my lovely mom. 

Me, my sis, and my two lovely cousins at our friend's wedding.

Me and Brandon, my sister's fiance! 

Celebrating my good friend, Mary's birthday!!! 

Hiking up a difficult mountain with my sis and my cousins!

On my way to the top (never reached the top because they were closing the park and we were still too far away from the top. Will definitely come back here on my next trip to finish the hike!)

 God has blessed me with lots of family time with my loved ones. I loved hanging out with my dad, mom, sister, cousins, friends and the rest of my family. It is definitely a huge blessing to be surrounded by wonderful people. 

and on that note, I am SOOOOOOOOOO happy & excited to say that my sister is coming to visit me in August for 2 weeks! I can't wait to show her around and to just hang out with her on my turf! haha! 

Hope everyone is doing well. Will try to update more frequently! Love you all.
