8 Year Anniversary

I know we're supposed to go by our marriage date now, but Rob and I just hit our 8th year anniversary. 8 years ago he held my hand walking to class and asked me to be his girlfriend. I can't believe it's been 8 years!!! Happy Anniversary baby!

Heard this song by Keith Urban and thought of Rob...



Only you could love me that way.

My Smarty Pig Savings Goal

Call me crazy, but I've always wanted an old Volkswagen convertible bug... I came across SmartyPig via Twitter and thought to set a public savings goal (see above) and save virtually!



When gift giving holidays or life events come around, you are more than welcome to contribute towards my savings goal! he.he...

Click above to go to my profile and contribute if you should decide to!

Thanks for your support, and hopefully in a few years - hopefully sooner than my deadline! - I'll have a cute white or baby blue convertible bug to cruise around in on the weekends!

Have a great week!

Needed to Share

Wanted to share some of my recent faves with you all as well as things I'm looking forward to this Fall!

Tahitian Renewal by Caress - so yummy!


Pitaya - my new favorite, affordable store!


Pure Beach Sateen Sheets (found at Bed, Bath & Beyond) make going to bed oh so much more enjoyable!

Sequel to The Hunger Games. Just as amazing as the first book. Read it in 1 day!!!! Now I just have to wait for the 3rd book... UGH.


Hilarious book by Chelsea Handler. Now I gotta get her other one: My Horizontal Life!


The latest and greatest by Janet Evanovich. I have a feeling her Stephanie Plum series will never end, ha! Just want her to marry Morelli and get it over with!


Coming soon!!!

The Vampire Diares... curious if this show will be good. Starts this Thurs.


11.03.09 - Carrie's new CD! Her new single - Cowboy Casanova - definitely has a Shania Twain vibe to it. I'm sure her CD will be great!

Cali-for-N-I-A

Took a little weekend trip to Coronado Island last weekend. Was just what we needed. Then we went up and saw my cousin Adam for a day in LA. Rob surfed, and I held on for dear life while my cousin drove my car around like a mad man.







If I had a waterproof camera, I would have been out there taking some shots of Rob surfing. He was in surfer heaven, and did pretty well for his first time!

LA was definitely chaotic. We tried to get a lot in in one day.


Rob and I are even more convinced now that we want to live by the water. Only time will tell!

Black and White Dinner Party

Last weekend Rob and I went to a black and white dinner party for my friend, Kim's b-day. Here are some pics from our fancy night out!






Dinner was at PURE for sushi,then Blue Martini after for drinks and cougar watching. LOL!

Belated Birthday Post

For Rob's 25th birthday (back in June) we went to The Hyatt in Scottsdale for the weekend. We had a WONDERFUL time!!!

We had been to the Hyatt before for the live band with his Dad, but once a low rate popped up, we booked a night!

Most of the weekend we spent by the pool with family and friends. Saturday night we went to Zipp's, played Golden Tee, stopped by AJ's after for some champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, and headed back to our cozy room! I'd say it was a total man's weekend with all the food we ate, pool basketball and Golden Tee.

Some fun shots:


Then, we celebrated his actual birthday on June 21st at his Mom's. Lots of food, family and cake! I'll post some pics from that if I can.

Rob and I are the same age for a little while... always fun! Hope you had a nice birthday honey... :)
