The Last 3 Months (Quick and Dirty)

We've been busy as usual the past few months. I promise to be a better blogger and not stuff so much into one blog next time!

Went home to Santa Maria for Thanksgiving. This is Kiya modeling the latest in Air Force Couture.

Trips to Santa involve drinking at shitty bars. Some members of our party worked on their street cred this night.....

Becs had a birthday and we all celebrated with a night out in South Park.

We had our first annual blind wine tasting Christmas Party. A new tradition!

Jeff and I hosted Christmas Eve. Here are the boys modeling their traditional Christmas boxers.

New Years Eve the gang headed to Temcula Creek Inn for an awesome concert. We saw Wild Child, a Doors tribute band and they were amazing.

Some of us were overserved.

New Years Day we went wine tasting in Temecula. The penguin is named Carlos.

So that is the last 3 months in a nutshell. I imagine the next few blogs will involve the house. Went furniture and paint shopping today. So much to do....

Bailey

My heart is broken. Our sweet Bailey passed away this morning in her sleep next to Jeff. She had a rough weekend and my only solace is that her suffering is over.

Uninspired

I just haven't felt the desire to blog lately....don't know why. I've been up to lots of fun things in the last few months. The biggest thing is that Jeff and I bought a house and will be closing in the next few days. Maybe once we actually have the house and I start shopping for paint/furniture/appliances and get excited I'll start sharing the progress with you. Our house is definitely a 'before' and Jeff and I have a lot of cosmetic stuff to do before it can be considered an 'after.' I haven't allowed myself to look at any house stuff for fear of jinxing it....this was a hellish escrow process (who said homebuying was fun again?) with lots of kinks and disruptions. But the best part is that we're going to be biking distance from our besties the Colemans, we'll have a yard for Bailey to run around in and we'll be able to take some of the hosting duties for parties off the hands of the Colemans....they are lucky enough to have a beautiful, huge backyard but get stuck with every party because they have such a great yard. Can't wait until they come over and be OUR guests! My goal is to have the house all painted, furnished and looking good by my birthday at the end of April so we can celebrate my birthday proper like with a backyard BBQ. I'll post some pics of the house soon.
