She's alive and she's living life! So let me bring you up to speed... Tuan and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary at the end of April with a weekend getaway to Temecula wine country. We stayed at the South Coast Winery and went on a wine tasting tour through the Grapeline... highly recommend this quick little getaway if you're in Southern California!
I just celebrated my 30th birthday on May 5th! I didn't think turning 30 was going to affect me much. Most all of my friends are over thirty, so I already feel older than I really am. Anyway, I decided to get a make over...so I went and chopped all my hair off {donated it to Locks of Love}... except I didn't want it to be THIS short. It was fine leaving the salon... {it's always fine leaving the salon, isn't it?} but the next morning it was WAAAY TOO SHORT and I looked in the mirror and thought, "I look like my mother." I told my girlfriends, Kim and Lisette this story and they said, "Welcome to your thirties!"
May turned out to be birthday month this year. Tuan took me to a restaurant called the Napa Rose at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and he also had a couple of Lytle Scrapper shirts made for me. Kim and Lisette kid-knapped me to San Diego to see Alicia Keys in concert... that was totally awesome! To put into perspective for all you scrappers... that goes right up there with meeting Heidi Swapp. Melissa hosted a birthday crop for me with all of my closest scrapbooking friends at The Scrapbook Garden and we had such a blast! All the girls pitched in and got me a Cricut Expressions! I am so lucky to have all of these wonderful people in my life. This was definitely one of the BEST birthdays ever! Here are some photos...
I also tried working on that second New Year's resolution of mine... get published. However, I got a little over-ambitious and took on too much too soon and did not make the deadline... but I will keep trying. Meanwhile, tons of product is coming in from different vendors... you know what this means, ladies? MORE CLASSES! So keep your eyes peeled...
My sister, Lynda just graduated from Cal State Long Beach! Yay Lynda! I'm so proud of her...more photos {including one of Mom and me}...
So that has been my life in a nutshell. Thank you so much for tuning in and staying in touch. Definitely more to come from me....
