It’s August already? How the heck did that happen? Where has the year gone? Here is a year in review of what we’ve been up to (so far)
January- We rang in the New Year with my little sister Paloma and a guitar hero marathon.
February- Ah February, The month of love and more importantly, my birthday! We celebrated my 31st birthday at Buena Park’s Pirate Adventure Dinner with Paloma and my niece Alexis. I think I was the only person over 10 celebrating their birthday there. The show was fun and we were able to enjoy muscular men without shirts on swinging from ropes and breaking into song. What were they singing about? Who knows, I really wasn’t listening. All I know is that it was great! As for Marc’s opinion, he didn’t think there were enough women in the show. Who cares right? It wasn’t his birthday! The evening ended with a mini surprise party held for me by my sisters with yummy Mexican food cooked by my grandma.
In February we also spent an evening in Vegas for our friend Shelley’s 40th birthday. It consisted of a panoramic suite, plenty of liquor and tassels.
March- Happy St. Patty’s Day! We flew up to San Jose for the day to attend Jenny & Clay’s baby shower (Marc’s sister). It was nice to visit with family even for just a few hours. We also decided to do a bit of remodeling which was a little frustrating and stressful but we are so happy with the results that it made the dust worthwhile.
April – Happy Easter! Easter was spent with the Buenrostro clan at Sandra’s newly remodeled house. As usual we over ate and had a fun time watching the kids hunt for eggs. Marc, Paloma and I also endured the 100+ degree weather at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts festival in Indio, CA. It was a day filled with lots of sun and good music where we enjoyed such acts as Paul McCartney, Franz Ferdinand, Morrissey and many others. This is the second year we attend this event and hope to make it one of many family traditions.
May- In May Marc and I participated in the Revlon Walk for Breast Cancer. This is our 5th year doing this walk together. The biggest excitement in May was the birth of Marc’s sister’s daughter, Brynn Malia Heberly. Paloma and I attended the KROQ Weenie Roast where we saw over 10 bands. We took an early anniversary vacation to Hawaii. There we had the opportunity to visit with Marc’s family as well as eat everything in sight! I love Hawaii!
June- Happy 2nd Anniversary! I can’t believe two years have gone by since we got married. Time does fly and we still have yet to order our wedding photos!
In June we were able to meet baby Brynn in person instead of just drooling over her in pictures. We flew to San Jose and had a nice relaxing BBQ at Jenny & Clay’s house. It was so amazing to see all the Uchida’s smiling. If you’ve met the Uchida’s, you know what I’m talking about! It’s incredible what effect a 5 pound new born can do to a family. Brynn is absolutely adorable and I can’t wait to hold her in my arms again. In June we also made our world famous apricot jam with the few apricots that the squirrels spared us.
July – 4th of July was spent on the beach followed by fireworks at my sister Veronica’s house. In mid July we were graced by the presence of Marc’s BFF Vinny. We spent a day at the ball game drinking beer and gazing at Derek Jeter. Ok, maybe I gazed at him while the guys actually watched the game.
At the end of July we also attended Comic Con. This is where my inner geek shines thru. It's my favorite event of the year filled with spandex, super heros, and art.
