Photos as promised from Robbie's Birthday!


This weekend was awesome.. We went to a lot of new places. Friday after work we just stayed in and had dinner and played some games. Very exciting night, I know. Saturday we got up early and went to the Italian Farmer's Market in Little Italy downtown San Diego. It was awesome! So many people, dogs, flowers, and awesome food. We had amazing lemonades- Robbie got strawberry, and I got cucumber mint- so good! We also had, hands down, most amazing paninis ever! We will definatly be going back there in the near future! We bought some french white bread, 2 different hummus' and pita chips! Everything was so fresh! After the market we went to Pacific Beach. Very pretty, but very busy, and freezing cold water. We wandered around Leucadia at night. Ate yummy wings and had plenty of beers. It was an awesome Saturday. Today was spent at the Leucadia art fair, and Solana Beach. I went swimming today, this is significant because it is usually too cold around here to actually go under the water. Robbie wanted me to boogy board so I made him happy and I was in the water for about an hour. An even bigger plus about Solana Beach is that dogs are allowed on it!! So cute to watch the puppys jump over the big waves!

S'more bar!

I will try these some day

first day of school.

Don't be fooled by the title of this post. I did not go back to school... I got a job. As a teacher...I work for another non-profit org. and its for an afterschool enrichment program , and I am a "program specialist." So everyday from 2-6 I go to an elementary school and I have my very own classroom and I teach academic hour so I help with homework and have worksheets and strategy games and stuff for them to do and we rotate through 1st to 5th graders.(there are 5 teachers) It's fun. The first day of school just started yesterday. I am looking forward to get to know the kids better. Since we had short rotations yesterday I want the kids to fill out a notecard about themselves. I asked 8 basic questions like fav food, fav sport, fav color etc... lets just say i got some pretty crazy answers. I like trying to decipher what they are trying to spell. Like "Nobemder" for November.. I'm sure I will have some funny stories throughout the year!!

Robbie is now a whole year older. Woo Hoo for 23!! He got the day off for his birthday since he had 24 hour duty the day before! We went to the beach, he rode some waves on his surf board, we went to Leucadia and walked around the cute town and went taco shop hopping. (The act of eating one taco per taco shop, until you determine the best place). It was awesome. We went home for cake and ice cream with friends. It was a fun night!!

Blogger wont let me upload pics :(  I will try again later (sorry)!

Have an Awesome weekend!

Lookin'

This past week was spent looking for a job...not my favorite activity I must say. Robbie and I are finally feeling the stress of only having one income, but wanting to spend money like we have two. Doesn't work out so good. I have applied to a couple places, and had an interview at one, but nothing promising yet. Looks like I know what I am doing next week too.

On Friday, we went to the Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego. It was a lot of fun! We went with Eric and Heather and Heather's friend Gina, who is visiting from Maryland. (Photos to come).

Today I sit alone. Robbie has 24 hour duty so I wont be able to see him until Monday night. Which also happens to be his birthday!!! Woo Hoo!

So, we went out to eat for pizza in Carlsbad Village with some guys from Robbie's unit last night and we came across the cutest dog I have ever seen! The picture that I took was pretty blurry since I was basically being a creep and taking it from far away but this is what we saw.....



This my friends is a WHITE golden retreiever... aka English Retriever- photo from google.com

I WANT THIS DOG so bad! So, when the time comes, December or later.... this dog will def. be at the top of our list!!!

Back to the norm...

Well, there is too much to catch up on at this point. So we will just start fresh, and with a mini recap of the past month... I had a birthday, we went to the San Diego Zoo, we are meeting new friends, we only have one messy room in our house left, I went home for 3 weeks, Robbie went to Georgia for 3 weeks for jump school, we are both back home. THE END.

I would like to touch on one event that happened recently, and that is that my sister flew back to CA with me for the week. We had an awesome time and we saw some pretty neat places. It was weird actually having to drive myself into these new places, but I did it and we all survived! We got in late Monday night, but on Tuesday we went shopping for some outfits my sister could wear in her senior pics- we found an awesome white dress, and a pretty blue shirt to go with a skirt she already had, and of course a completely new outfit of skinny jeans and a baggy burnt orange shirt. Love it all! After shopping we went to Carlsbad Village and walked around and then decided to go to Leucadia Beach right down the street from my house. On Wednesday we ventured off to Coronado. It was so scary driving over "suicide bridge" (I always thought the San Fran bridge was called this, but apparently this one is too). I was freaked out to say the least, but it had awesome views of downtown San Diego. We went to the beach right by the Hotel Del Coronado and tanned most of the afternoon. We walked around and went shopping and ate an amazing burger at Burger Lounge once it got too chilly to sit out on the beach. Thursday, we went to Laguna Beach. It was awesome, and beautiful. I am definatly planning on bringing Robbie there soon! Friday, we went to La Jolla Cove with my friend Heather. There were so many seals and snorklers it was cool to watch! We made friends with a seagul-he would not get off of our beach blanket, so we just learned to deal with it. We also picked Robbie up from the airport Friday night (25 days apart was not fun!). Saturday was spent at Sea World. We all loved the shows and the aquariums. I cant wait to go back! Marisa left early Sunday morning. After dropping her off at the airport Robbie and I went back to bed for a much needed nap, since we woke up at 5, and then we relaxed all day; catching up from the past 3 weeks.

The week my sister was here I swear we went back to June Gloom. It was chilly and cloudy all week. This week is different we are actually getting a taste of summer. 80's and sunny! Perfect. We are going to the beach tonight to get our boogy boarding and surfing on.

*I promise to keep up with my blog from now on... it isnt realistic to think I can post everyday, but I promise it will be more than once a month!*
