SCHOOL HAS STARTED IN FULL BLOOM

School has begun and there are hundreds of freshman/transfers walking around… This pic is from my window of a new student welcome event.  holy moly.

Weekend Recap and Photodump

This past weekend was fun and relaxing.  I really needed the time at home and then enjoyed a few dinners/lunches to keep the weekend social.

Friday night, my coworkers and I went to ktown and had dinner/drinks at DGM, second rounds of drinks at toeband, and dessert at Paris Baguette and Boba Time.  It was fun to hang out with each others spouses and let our hair down after such a stressful week (first week of school!).

Saturday, i spent the entire day lounging and watching Orange is the New Black.  I started it several months ago but never had the chance to finish.  SUCH A GREAT SHOW!  Easy to watch and entertaining~

In the evening, I went to a dodger game with loved ones and then hit up Toebang with the ladies!

It was SNUGGIE night ❤

Have you ever had a frozen beer?  it’s good!

Goofing around at Toebang ❤

Sunday was a lazy day of fun with my friend who just became a new mama <3.  We hung out, shopped, and then took a few breaks in Marina Del Rey.  I had no idea it was this beautiful!  After living in LA for almost 7 years, I can’t believe I’ve never seen this part of the bay!  (and i only live 20-30 min away!)  Can’t wait to bring Markel back for a romantic picnic or bike ride.  xo

ANDDDD…now it’s monday =(  Not ready for the week, but oh well…

 

Girl’s Weekend Trip To San Diego!

This past weekend was incredibly fun and full of great times. ❤  My girlfriends and I took a big end of summer trip to San Diego and it was a much needed.

We drove down on Saturday morning (bright and early)~~~ We each brought a ridiculous amount of clothes/shoes for our 1 night trip.  LOL  oh ladies…

I ❤ startbucks.  Love it more than coffee bean~~ This trip I tried something new: Venti Coffee with 3 pumps of classic syrup.  It was tastey!

Waiting for our table in front of Hash House.  This was a great place~~ huge portions, delicious food, and incredible cocktails.  =)

When we checked into our hotel, we told the hotel we were celebrating a birthday and they sent us a box of chocolates and champs! xoxo

We Love the Manchester Grand Marriott Hotel in San Diego!!

Our gorgeous view:

Chilling by the pool

Dinner, Drinks and Dessert at The Oceanaire

The ladies ❤

The rest of the night we drank, hung out in our hotel room, and got late night room service ❤  It was a night of fun to remember!

The next day we grabbed lunch at Sergios and it was TO DIE FOR.  LOVED all the food and the California Burritos.  YUMMMMMMMMM  Can’t wait to take Markel back there.

When I got back home to LA, Markel had a ton of friends over for Sunday Football.  WE hung out, drank a few beers and played Cards of Humanity ❤  (our new fave game)

Last weekend was SO FUN and so exhausting.  This weekend…will be a lot more chill ❤  Happy Saturday!

First Day of Fall

What better way of celebrating the first day of fall than with a pumpkin spice latte. ♥♥

Arm and Finger Swag

Today’s arm and finger away!!  Off to San Diego for the weekend with my favorite ladies. ♥♥  It’s the last weekend of summer!! Xoxo

HALO Pocket Power 2200

Bought this baby on Living Social today (had some credit)~ and I’m excited to use it.  Markel has an external battery pack and it saves our lives.  When we’re out all day or traveling, it’s awesome to have this charger on hand.  During our flight to Hawaii~ we used it to charge our ipad, kindle, computer… I can’t imagine not having it!

Anyway…it’s been pretty clear that I need to get my own and stop stealing Markel’s.  LOL  So I bought this one today for only $20 (free shipping included)!  I’ll let you know how it goes!  I (of course) got the Pink Leopard print. =)  I thought about the classy black one~~ but decided to go with my gut.  hehe

Oops, totally forgot to post these from a few months before!  The last and final post of the wedding ❤

The Reception!

This day feels soOOOOoo long ago.  I can’t believe we got married and are currently living a newlywed life…so weird! lol  Feels like yesterday when Markel and I met and were having a blast as early 20-somethings.  But 5+ years later…here we are as a married couple. ❤
