we've decided

we're going to have fun here in cali.

we're going to make memories.

we're going to plan for the weekend so we don't waste our time.

so, this is weekend 4 of fun in cali:

weekend 1 and 2 were movie theater w the office and weekend 3was bowling

 Bodies Revealed in Sacramento

neither of us have gotten to go to this exhibit so it was very "fascinating and real" to us;)

no but really it was, we loved it

heavenly father is just amazing,

how he could make something that functions so perfectly,

the intricate detail on our body,

how it constantly works after years and years,

the body ceases to amaze me and i'm so happy i get to have one

we also did a little golfing recently.

mini golfing that is.

we decided since casey always wins chess, i should always win mini golfing.

the tradition started that night :) 

 the above hole may or may not have taken casey 12 strokes...blasted little volcano things

 above are our annalee faces :)

so yes, those were our adventures of recent.

casey is still doing great.

still getting sunburnt,

still being funny 

i am still on the computer for endless hours in the day.

still reading,

still blog stalking, 

and we are still very much in love!

hope you all had a better memorial day than us! we worked, boo

but i am still grateful for our country and all those men and women who have served for our country

so glad to be a citizen of the U. S. of A. :)

toodles!

side note: you know those cool looking pictures when they're printed straight onto canvas? and you know how they're expensive? this website is offering free 8x10 ones today only! you just have to pay the s&h (which is $15) this is a great deal compared to the normal price canvas pictures go for!  go check it out!

sacramento temple

we had the chance to attend the temple today!

it was such a wonderful experience, and i love getting to go to a new temple!

loved being in there with my sweetie and seeing his smile.

it's one of the few places to relax and just ponder, without any distractions, together.

and yet again, quite a small temple, but we loved it!

the temple is on about 48 acres i think, and has beautiful landscaping,

i'm just loving all the landscaping here in CA, loving it!

casey is doing great just chugging along, i'm doing better at keeping myself occupied and not getting so bored, and also learning how to make my job more efficient.

(as of right now i'm reading the help and loving it, and am currently on a lot of waiting lists for the books a lot of you recommended!)

if you have time i highly encourage to look at this blog! it is one my most favorite friends, nicole, and her adventures in africa! (one of the friends i mentioned before) she's over in uganda for 9 weeks volunteering (with a friend,it's of course apart of an actual volunteering organization too)! what an amazing opportunity huh?! she is an amazing girl, and i think her blog is going to be quite a fun read, so do visit!

dreaming

wouldn't this be heavenly?

if only...

best meal of the day...

breakfast.

why do i say this?

because breakfast foods often = sugar and that just makes me happy

it's like the main meal is dessert.

i love it

decorating opinons

so, this is my own perosnal opinon

not trying in anyway to hurt your feelings.

firstly.

vintage can look cute,

way cute.

i agree with everyone on that point.

went to an antique store and wanted to purchase many a cute things

didn't though bc their price tags are not so cute

but sometimes it gets out of hand,

like that room looks like a yucky old person's house look.

like you just bought a bunch of stuff that's horribly, terribly used look.

getting my drift?

so, next time you or i, feel like decorating a room/adding stuff to it

let's ask ourselves, is this cute-old or ugly-old?

secondly.

white rooms are beautiful.

white sheets.

white compforters.

white pillows.

white rugs.

white chairs.

white curtains.

the whole she-bang,

it makes a beautiful combination for a room.

but let's be real here.

it's not going to stay white for long,

it's probably going to become off white,

and you're going to have to work on cleaning stuff a lot more.

the combo just isn't realistic, sadly enough.

so dear white rooms:

our relationship is never going to work out,

it's not you, it's me

what we did this weekend

we went bowling

casey preparing to do his bowling fred-flintstone-style preparation that he always does

ps- i hate  "cosmic bowling"

you can't see anything,

it makes you dizzy,

i just don't like it at all

 above is our group, 3 of the guys casey works with.

i'm glad they came bc for once i didn't have the lowest score :)

haha but they still had fun and just laughed at their gutter balls

it made it easier to laugh at all the many of mine!

ok, so also we have been so lucky to meet the sweetest family ever here this summer

we've now been able to hang out with them twice and it's been a blast!

it's just so wonderful to take a break from bugs, work, and selling

they have the cutest kids and are just so fun!

we got to go to church with them today and afterwards we ate dinner, played games, had dessert etc

so grateful we met them

so even beyond them being so so much fun,

the mom has this new anti-gravity yoga room in her home

picture this: cirque du soleil+yoga

yes this means crazy awesomeness

here's some of our fun pictures of messing around with them

this is their adorable 2 year old we love to play with

 you can also search youtube to look at some fun videos of it :)

...trying to think what else we did...

went to chile's

made a really yummy pancake recipe for breakfast

we've maybe started to, just a little bit, hopefully gotten ourselves into a routine of making ourselves get up even after 99% of our body says no to working out in the morning

been able to listen to our book (the lost symbol by dan brown) a lot this weekend

video chatted

and uh, yeah that's about it

hope you all had a fabulous weekend

we'll be back for more later!

we did

11.21.09+6 months= 6 month family birthday :)

i heard someone call it that and we've now adopted that language because i  we thing it's cute

hip hip, hooray!

i know it's not really that monumental but, it's fun for us to celebrate

celebrations included,

a. kimber refusing to get up this morning to work out with casey even after all of his pleadings, so he crawled back into bed :)

b. work work and work

c. lunch at a local mom and pop mexican restaurant called mexican delicious haha

d. more working (though kimber's was intermingled with a ridiculous amount of time blog stalking...ehem)

e. eating ice cream out of the carton together for dinner

this is happines

happy anniversary babe,

best 6 months of my life thus far :) 

ps- in the background is the desktop computer that i bang on sometimes when it stops working and makes me super mad, literally, i've nearly done exactly what this guy has done...or at least the hitting all the keyboard keys really hard part :) happy to say mine and the computer's relationship's is getting better as each day passes
