Our Wedding Anniversary Getaway

Hello!!! Blog world! Lets see how long I'll stick around for before I disappear again! lol

Jon and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary back in July and we had a little getaway to the beach in California, my happy place!

Jon and I had not been a trip, just the 2 of us, since out honeymoon, so we were really looking forward to this trip.

We jetted off to Newport beach Wednesday night after work, its def nice being just a short flight away from the beach :)

Enjoying some drinks before our flight 
Thursday was our actual anniversary.  So we started out the day by walking to breakfast, and then spending the rest of the afternoon enjoying the beach, we walked ALOT, but when your walking on the beach, I feel like you could just keep going and going, lol.






When we got back to our room, we started getting ready for dinner, but we had a big problem! The dress I had packed with me to wear for our special night out DID NOT look good.  I was so upset that I would have to wear a boring old dress that Ive worn thousands of times BUT I've got a pretty awesome husband.  We hoped on an Uber ride to the nearest boutique, and we found me a new dress.  Thank goodness!

We headed to dinner at "Las Brisas" in Laguna Beach.  The place was great, they had yummy drinks and food, and an even better view.

Having drinks, waiting for our table

Celebrating 3 yrs with this man
Friday was of course another beach day, duh! lol Awesome thing about our hotel?  It was right across the street from the beach, yay! So friday we decided to rent bikes and go on a bike ride.
Before our bike ride, we had breakfast and I enjoyed a mimosa flight :)
Our cute bikes :)
Riding with my lovie
After bike riding, we took an Uber over to Huntington beach for some lunch and hanging out.  I love Huntington beach!
We had some adult snow cones :) And did little bit of shopping
After that, we headed back to Newport and got ready for our sunset cruise.  Jon found a super cheap groupon for a sunset cruise, with unlimited drinks, um yes please!!!  The cruise was so much fun! I want to go back and do it again!
Cruising adventures!
This makes my heart happy


Sunset loving! 
Saturday was another groupon day! We went out to breakfast and then headed to do some wine tasting.  We had such a fun time wine tasting.  The person serving us was such a sweet woman, she def made the experience much more entertaining :)
Jon and I found this cute lil breakfast spot in Newport.  
Wine & cheese makes me happy too! 
You can't celebrate you wedding anniversary without doing some wine tasting, since we had our wedding at a vineyard 
 After wine tasting, we decided to spend our last night hanging out at the Newport boardwalk.


When Sunday rolled around, it was time to go home, boo!  Im okay with living in the desert if i get treated to beach weekend getaways like this.  But one day, I hope we can move back, buy a little house, just the 2 of us, retire and live happily every after! :)

Oh and now its gift time!

I made & bought Jon's gifts.  I love crafting gifts and buying personalized gifts, not only is it more personal but its not expensive either, so its a win win!

Since Jon travels so much, I though this was a fun lil something for him to carry with him in his wallet to remind him how much he's loved by me
I also made Jon a "Passport" of some fun things we can do here in Phoenix.  We've been here a year, but haven't really done much around here, so this is a fun thing to get us out there.

The inside of the card
I also got him a leather luggage tag.

Jon got me a super cute charm to add to my special charm bracelet.  I love it!


The end :)

Jon's 29th Birthday Weekend!

2 weekends ago, We celebrated Jon's 29th birthday.  I didn't really try to plan too much, I just let Jon decide what he wanted to do for his celebration weekend.

Friday night was a low key night, hanging out at home.  Than Saturday morning, Jon's friend, Sean, came over and we headed to Great America for part of day.  This was Jon's 1st time there, and we had a lot of fun.  We got a season pass, so well be spending lots of summer days there!
The guys ready to head in and have some fun!

We're so cool! lol
It was a perfect day out
Enjoying his pizza and beer :)
This picture cracks me up! I love us :)
Jon & Sean!
After Great America, we headed to dinner at an all you can eat sushi place, which is Jon's favorite.  Im glad that Sean also enjoys sushi because I do not eat that stuff, im happy with my chicken teriyaki! :)

Sunday, we planned on heading to Rookies, the near by Oregon Ducks bar, we get there and guess what? The darn place was closed, BOO!!!! So we went to the closest sports bar, which happened to be Hooters, lol.  But the Heat/Spurs game was on and they could not miss the game the (SO glad basketball is over btw!!!)
Tobias & Jon.  Oregon Duck BBF's :)
Jose, Jon and Tobias!
Love him! 
Monday was Jon's actual birthday.  He got to take the second half of his work day off and play golf with his boss & another friend.  So during my lunch break, I had to put my power shopping skills to the test, and I did pretty darn good! I got him his birthday gifts and decorations in 1 hour! yay me! Once I got home, I had to rush and get everything decorated form him before he got home from golf.  And I succeeded!
He still has a Ninja Turtles love, so thats the theme I went with! :)
All of his birthday cards he received from his family, gifts from me & the San Francisco Giants baseball tickets Tobias got for Jon.  This will be my first Giants game, so I'm very excited! :)
Picture of us from Great America
Happy husband getting home to his surprises!
Jon facetiming with his family.  They were so cute and sang Happy Birthday to him :)
Being a nice wife and making the birthday boy the dinner he requested.  BBQ steak, asparagus and corn on the cob.

Finally put my new tripod to use.  Happy Birthday Mr. Burns! 

Yay to being 29! And all the new adventures that are ahead of us! 

We had a fun time celebrating Jon, but I just have to say, my birthday weekend was a little better! lol.  Post about that soon!

Love you forever Mr. Burns! You make my heart SO happy!

Something I'm good at....


Making people feel special and appreciated…
Ever since I can remember, I’ve always made my own cards, and notes, to give to people, whether it be a birthday card or just a lil card to say “hi! Thanks for being you!”  The few times that I have purchased a card to give, friends & family have responded by saying something about how they wish they had received one of my special homemade cards.
I think the reason behind homemade cards & notes being so special is because they are homemade, because believe me, sometime I had a card over and think to myself “Oh man, I hope they like it!” lol
You don’t even need anything fancy to make a special card.  The 2 main things you need is paper, duh, and some markers, of course you can always use stickers and all that other fancy stuff!
The thing that makes this so special is because you are giving this card or note to someone just out of the blue and who doesn’t love getting a nice lil note or card letting you know how awesome you are?

Here are some examples of simple notes and cards I’ve made for Jon that have been a big hit!
