Dan's Birthday (a few months late)

So Brita and I had promised Dan we would take him out to dinner for his birthday, which was two months ago! So this past Wednesday we took him to Jade on upper State St. It was fun to get together, even if Dan and Brita talked electrical the whole time :) Just kidding, Dan just drew out some wiring pictures for Brita, but it seemed like they talked forever! :) Here are some pics from this fabulous event!

Dan drawing electrical designs for Brita.

His three way switch design matches his shirt! (Don't ask me what the design means!)

At the end of dinner (the chef took our pic!)

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM.... Yummy! :)

Harvest Festival

A few months back my parents came out for a visit and JP, my mom and I excavated some of our cement in the back yard in order to start a veggie garden. Well, JP and I went out for some plants and came back with six tomato plants. Little did we know that the harvest would be SO PLENTIFUL. Therefore, this past weekend we had our first annual "Harvest Festival." It was a great time had by all with three different types of salsa (regular, mango and corn and bean) and a TON of chips! (and let's not forget to mention the great fellowship!) I didn't get any pics of the actual event, but here is one of the salsa makers; Missy (JP's friend from college), JP, Kmac and Molly (Kmac's friend from AIA basketball). Thanks for all of your hard work! It was DELICIOSO!

The Los Angeles Angels (translation: "The The Angel's Angels")

Last Friday night I flew into LA and met up with my Brea friends to celebrate Rob's birthday at an Angel's game. We also went to BJ's afterwords to eat Pizzokie! YUMMY!


Happy Birthday to you! :)

Mi Familia

I've spent the last week in Philly here with my entire family (all 18 of us!) and it's been a blast! We've been to the zoo, the park, the creek, the beach, and pretty much have had a really good time together. We also helped jamie and chad move into their new apt, 2 blocks from Dan's house and three blocks from Kristie's house! It's so cute and I even slept there last night. I have a ton of pics, but I'll just put a couple below!
