Would you feel anything at all?

It's been a crazy last couple of days! So much has happened, I can't even keep track. Last Thursday, we went over to the Groundlings Theatre on Melrose to see my friend Ashley perform. I hadn't seen her in so long, and wanted to go support-so there we were-me, Geo, Josie and Dan. It was a great night full of laughs, tears, and friendship. And I can't wait to hang out with them again. 

Then, the craziest but happiest of news...my best friend Kate just got engaged!! I actually have two friends that are now engaged, because Danielle got engaged two weeks ago. I am so beyond happy for them both. I still haven't even given Danielle a congratulatory hug yet, let alone seen the ring in person-which I'm sure is just stunning. Kate told me through bbm, while I was at work-and literally screamed my head off. This was such a long time coming. And I'm just ecstatic that I have these 2 amazing upcoming weddings I get to help plan.

Finally, on Sunday-we trekked over to Wokcano to celebrate my sister going away to college in a couple weeks. I don't know why that's cause for a celebration, because I sure as hell won't be celebrating once she leaves. It's going to be really tough on me. But that night was filled with so much love and laughter, and it was definitely great being there with my cousins to wish my sister all the best... I don't want the 16th to arrive just yet. :(

P.S. My Olivia ring arrived yesterday. It's so much more beautiful and heavier in person. Just as I imagined. I'm in love. :)

You suddenly complete me

Yeah Yeah Yeah's Hysteric has been on constant repeat in my head. I've been kinda obsessed with the album ever since my honey got it for me. But that's beside the point...the point is-I've abandoned you guys for awhile. But it isn't my fault...you see I've kinda been celebrating my birthday about 50 times for the past two weeks. The last of it though, happened last Saturday. It was actually supposed to be a dinner party at my bestie's house, but things beyond both of our control happened out of the blue, making it difficult for her to host it. Therefore, so many changes had to be made last minute. But all of my friends are so great and flexible and were all able to attend, without hesitation. So there was a dinner party at Wokcano-which is one of my fave Asian Fusion restaurants-and then a drinks/kickback afterward at one of my other bests, Siera's house. I love my best friends, for being so willing to open up their homes for me at the drop of a hat.

I have to talk about the dress though...it takes me awhile to pick the perfect dress. So about a month ago (yes, a month) I had Siera and Danielle come shopping with me to help me out. We went to Melrose and into this little store called Bliss. Everything was exceptional-there were so many options to choose from, and this dress was actually not one of the ones I fell in love with right off the bat. But as soon as I tried it on-it kind of became...the one. And I will forever feel indebted to both S and Danielle for convincing me to get it, because I'm kind of in love.

Hope you guys enjoy my birthday pics!!! And I want to thank everyone who celebrated it with me!

If I didn't know you, I'd rather not know...

SURPRISE!!!

Geo's birthday surprise party was such a success. It could not have gone any smoother than it did, and for that I feel truly grateful. Of course, all of my friends were there to help out with whatever I needed, but especially my two bests Alli and Kate-who were kind of the anchors of the night. I don't even know if that's the right word {anchors} to describe what I'm going for, but roll with it, won't you? I told him I had made reservations for the two of us for a romantic dinner at Wokcano in Santa Monica. He loves the restaurant, and was super excited to go. Little did he know, that 18 of his closest friends were there to to celebrate with us. I was texting Alli and Kate like a madwoman hoping he wouldn't pick up on it. And as soon as we got to the patio of the restaurant, I look up to see all of our wonderful friends smiling down at us screaming-"SURPRISE!" It was everything I dreamed of. Geo was so caught off guard, but was just absolutely grateful and happy to see everyone. The restaurant could not have been more perfect for our party. They had us perched atop this gorgeous patio loft, overlooking the entire patio, and there was a DJ playing, and comfy seating-and it was all for my wonderful love. I am so blessed to have him in my life. And I am very thankful for incredible friends who love and support us no matter what.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!

Trying to face the days a world apart...

But no longer...

After much anticipation, Geo and I finally got our perfect little apartment!! I feel so thankful, like my prayers have been answered. Pretty much-LIFE IS GOOD. I feel so happy, absolutely ecstatic that it all worked out for us. It was a long time coming for us. And now it's here. We're moving in a week and a half. 10 days!!! That's going to be a whirlwind.

Geo and I celebrated by getting Japanese at Wokcano. Geez, I love that place. Really great, unique tasting sushi. Yummy in my tummy. Blech. I can't believe I just wrote that. Anyway, sakes and sushi are always great for celebratin'. I savored the moment because it would probably be the last time Geo and I have a nice dinner out in a long time. That's what he says. Because we're going to be good budgeters now that we have our own place. And this time...I actually believe him.

I love my husbfriend. Haha. I tried to create a word and I can't even really pronounce it. Such a loser.

Happy, Happy, Happy.
