a lot to be thankful for!


So I promise I haven't forgotten about this blog, but this week has been busy!
I had a great weekend (even thought Matt was gone in Vegas) hanging out with friends and catching up on some things. I got to hang out alllllll day with my great friend deedee. we went and got yummy thai food down the street, got our nails done, and i dragged her on all my errands with me. it was wonderful to have the company. (sorry deedee for making you push my shopping cart around target!) we then decided to make some cupcakes....THEY WERE THE BEST CUPCAKES I HAVE EVER HAD. i kid you not. i am going to attach the recipe because i feel like i should share this goodness with the rest of the world, or those of you that visit my blog at least. they were chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes. pretty much a delicious choc chip cookie inside a cupcake with fudge frosting. need i say more?

anywho, the cupcakes were wonderful. k-dubs (aka kelly woodward) came over and we went and saw bridesmaids. it was HILARIOUS. i cant wait to see it again so that i can catch all the silly one liners. we ordered pizza from porky's pizza and then had a wonderful time just chatting. i love when people come and visit the new place. it makes me really happy, because i know it is a bit out of the way, and people are fabulous for making that effort.

sunday was FAJA'S day and i got to spend the day with my dad and sister, her husband, and the beautiful kiddos. it was a fun and easy day. we ate food, watched golf, and hung out, all in my tiny living room. it was fab. matt got back that afternoon, and we went to have dinner with his family. boy, do i love those people. i always have the greatest time with them, and they feel like my own family.

this week i've gotten the chance to see a lot of my bestest buddies. my friend chris was in town for vegas with the boys, and he stayed through monday, so i was able to go to dinner with him and a few of my great friends for sushi in huntington. yummy :) i wish he lived here in california still. i really appreciate our time together. on tuesday, i got to see my morgie girl, who has been missing from my life for three weeks now. NO BUENO. i missed her way too much. she is such a beautiful and faithful friend of mine. i love her so. wednesday was a great day too. i got to go to the beach for the first time since living down here. i got sunburned, took a nap, and enjoyed the many kites flying overhead. I LOVE WHERE I LIVE. matthew and i got to go to dinner together (which is super rare, honestly) and we walked down to belmont brewing co. yummy food and beers. i'm okay with that.

i do have to say though that today tops all of the rest of my great days by a lot. not only did i get to hang out with my girl abby this morning, but i got a GREAT phone call. I AM AN EMPLOYED BIG GIRL NOW! and how blessed do i feel! i will be working at Chapman University as an Admissions Counselor! ChIcKa WhAt?!?!?!?!??! I am so excited about working with everyone in the office. they are great people and wow, i just can't seem to say enough how lucky and ECSTATIC i am. wowzas.

I know you are bored now. this is probably not as fun to read as it is to write it.

to top everything off, i am off to vegas tomorrow for mandy's bachelorette party. i expect nothing but mayhem and fun! so many things to celebrate! by far one of the best weeks EVER.

:) happy weekend! love you all!
