Have Yourself a Merry little Christmas

I am so excited for Christmas! I have been Listening to Christmas music and we got a cute little 2foot tree from Target and I decorated it with cranes I made and red bows I made also and I have been making Hot Chocolate more and more and it makes me so happy and excited. It was so Rainy here in LA yesterday today is better but it is getting colder. My favorite song for the holidays to listen to is "Have yourself a Merry little Christmas" sung by Judy Garland it is from one of my favorite movies growing up called ' Meet me in St. Louis' Just after the little girl goes outside to wreck the snowmen because she is upset it is there last Christmas there and she cant take them with them, her sister(Judy Garland) comes home from the Christmas dance and calms her down and sings her the song. Aw I love that movie! So here it is for you all to enjoy. And if you want to leave a comment of your favorite Christmas song that would be cool :).

You Tube

So I made a You Tube account Mason and I made a video of his dad doing the Alcatraz race so for people to see it I put it up on You Tube and i also made a slide show type video of pictures i have taken and ones I like that i have found. So you can go check it out if you are bored...Here is one:

Picasa and Fun

So I am jobless right now, I am trying to find a good place to work and that's close to home. Mason and I moved out of his Grandparents about 2 weeks ago and moved out here to LA. But Mason has a good job working for a company called nugs.net or livedownloads.com where he processes live concerts for online sale. So I am home alone during the week until I find a job, and I get pretty bored, I do have a nice bike that I got from Mason's parents for my birthday that I love so much and is nice to take out for a bike ride once in awhile but sometimes its hard to get motovated to even go out, I know its sad. So I discovered Picasa awhile ago and downloaded it for free from google its a really cool picture fixer and like tool to do cool things to you pictures and make slideshows and collages. So I have been kinda caught up in doing that a bit. You can also create a web album with it. Here is my web album. And you can download picasa if you just type it in google it will come up as the free download.Here is one I did awhile ago, the most recent album I did was my San Frisco with Kaitlin. And Yeah we are just that good of friends.

missing things...

I miss New York right now a lot. Because it is so damn hot in LA! I want it to be fall and chilly with leaves falling everywhere and the pretty colours. I like being out here for the reason of being closer to family though. I miss just being able to walk down streets and have nothing to do but there is so much to look at. And I miss Tom's diner and Riverside park, and Our walks through Central park.

I also had a great time last night with Mason, we went to the Arclight theater on Sunset Blvd and saw Slum Dog Millionaire which was such an awesome movie, and the theater was so cool to see it in and had great sound!!

Wedding stress...and Excitment

I am so over whelmed with how much there is to do to make the whole wedding happen. I just want to get married and get it over with but also have it all look nice and good and I have no clue where to start :). I am just lucky I have a fiance that helps me a lot. SO yeah Hopefully everything will just fall into place and work out. But I am so lucky I found Mason I love him so much and I think our lives will just keep getting better.

On another note my sister gave birth to my niece on October 23rd @ 11:00am she weighed 9lbs 4oz But she wasn't so much big as she is long she is 20'3/4" and she is so sweet and cute! And they named her Analynn Michelle.

San Francisco!

A collage I made

On August 17th I flew to my sister Becky's and had a great time with My nephews Jonah an Isaiah. I helped her get ready for her baby GIRL on the way!! Sweet Jonah at a burger place in BerkeleyMy cute nephew Isaiah

Then that Wednesday Mason drove up from Southern Cali to pick me up with his Grandpa and we headed to the hotel right on fisherman's wharf in the San Francisco bay to meet with everyone. We had an awesome vacation with everyone going to the Aquarium and just walking around together and taking a trolley up all the hills. It was by far one of the best times. Then on Saturday we all woke up early to see what we all came there for Mason's dad swim from Alcatraz and run across the Golden Gate Bridge and back. It was amazing, and fun to be with everyone. Then we all went to a park looking over the bay and had a picnic.

So Mason and I made the long journey from New York City across the country to California with a truck and trailer with all of our things in them. It was a long trip but it was worth it! We are both so happy to be here and having a great time, I love being on the West Coast. It is so awesome to be close to Mason's family and get to know them all better.

On our way to California we stopped in Iowa and stayed at Mason's aunt and uncles farm, which was so fun. Then we stopped in Utah of course to see everyone, We had a great July 4th there. Now we have been here In California staying with Mase's grandparents for now. So here are some fun pictures from our journey and us living here in California.

Wonderful day Together...

Mason and I went out to Riverside park(upper west side) and to Grants tomb and had such a good afternoon together. It is by far my favorite part in New York. The park was beautiful and all the blossoms were blooming. There was also a movie filming in one of the apartments across from the park so that was kind of cool. then we swung on the swings. and then went to Tom's Restaurant(The Seinfeld Diner) I love how the older guy kinda knows us there. then we just went grocery shopping, YAY!

nothing new

So, here we are still Living in New York with no one taking over our lease to move to California. I guess we just are not supposed to leave yet. It's frustrating though when you are so ready to move on to a new place but nothing is happening to help it. Mason is at The Container Store working hard as always. And me? I'm home sick :). Not very fun. Tomorrow is our day off together though so hopefully I will be feeling better and we can have a awesome day in the city. OH! and there is a new Death Cab for Cutie song out. I am so excited for the new album out on May 13th. So click to go watch the new video for "I will possess you heart"

"California here we come.."

Mason and I are trying to move out to California to be closer to both of our family's. We will miss New York SO much! But I am so excited to move. Last Thursday it was one of the first nice days out here and Mason and I just rode around on our scooter (that we found in the trash on 70th street) and took a lot of pictures. We just need to find someone to take over our lease at this apartment. So hopefully that will happen soon :) so here are some of them the pictures we took.. FIN

New

Today is a lazy day for me, I'm home sick and just hanging out watching 'The OC'. Its rainy here in New York and really cloudy and dark. Daylight savings is tonight at 2am and it makes me excited for spring weather. I had a great weekend and think I found a new job at a baby clothing boutique shop on the upper west side. Mason and I had such a good day Thursday, we walked up Broadway to 42nd street from 34th street and then walked through Central park. We found a good working scooter in someones trash and we had it with us and rode it all day. I am looking forward to this new job and hope it works out and I enjoy it. Mason and I are doing great I am in love... :).
