Fish Tacos. Tavern Style.

I have to brag about the best fish tacos I've had in San Diego.  There is a little place in my hood called the East Village Tavern.  It's only a 5 minute walk from mi casa.  And wow are the fish tacos amazing.  Let me explain before I moved to San Diego the word fish taco kind of grossed me out, I had no desire to ever eat one.  I came here tried one and from then on started my quest to find the best ones.  I've had fish tacos everywhere I go and I think by far the tacos at the Tavern are the bestest in the westest.  On the taco they put grilled Mahi Mahi, cabbage, guacamole, salsa and the yummiest white sauce that is only used for fish tacos.  They are so delish.  If you ever come here you must try!!!

mmmmm. mmmmm. good.

Raubach Reunion.

So last week my inlaws came and visited me.  For those of you who dont know Kyle is away in Ohio working with APX.  Unfortunately my job wouldn't give me a leave of absence so I am alone here in SD trying to survive without my Baby.  It's been nice because his mom visited a couple weekends and then his sister and family came for a week and half.  They just left and I miss them like crazy.  But my family will be visiting at the end of this week and then I get to go to Utah for 2 weeks, so for now I'm making it through.  These are just a few pictures that I took on my iphone at Petco Park.  I had so much fun playing with my cutest nieces and nephews:  Cayden, Sophie, Issy, Finnigan, and Rafferty.  We got to go to the beach and La Jolla and airplane watching by the airport (we call this watching the huge daddies) and The Zoo and The Children's Museum and Yogurtland every night.  It was so much fun!!  The youngest one Rafferty is starting to talk now, he has the cutest personality, he is hillarious.

Raff is so proud of his crocs, he takes them off and puts them on probably 50 times in a day.  This is how they usually end up when he puts them on (opposite feet).  So toot!

This is the stud Finnigan on the playground.  Such a cute little guy.

Finn was so set on climbing this tree.  He has a broken arm (poor guy) but he didn't let that slow him down.  

Issy was constantly snatching my phone and taking sneaky pictures of herself.  This one turned out really cute. 

Kyles sister Ashlee is the most amazing photographer (ashleeraubachphotography.blogspot.com).  The whole trip she kept trying to shoot Raff but she could never get a face shot because he would never look a the camera.  I was so proud to be able to get this face shot of him even though it's with my non professional phone camera.

Belated Birthday Update

So I celebrated a birthday last month.  Yes I am getting older even though I still feel and act like an 18 year old.  I had to work on my birthday and Kyle was in the middle of finals so it just felt like any other usual day.  I went to work and had a normal day but towards the end of my shift an awesome surprise came from 2 of the greatest friends (Pops & Chellor).  They sent a beeee uuu ti fulll boquet of flowers to my work.  It was such a big surprise because to be honest I was expecting nothing for my birthday since times have been tough, struggling through school as starving students.  But it didn't end there.  After work Kyle had picked up a cake from extrodinary desserts (the yummiest place ever) which was another gift from Pops and Chellor.  I tell you they spoiled me!  I want to thank you guys for being such amazing friends of the truest kind.  After we got home and dug into the cake Kyle surprised me with tickets to the Padres game.  I don't have any pictures of that but it was the first game this season that I have been to and it was so much fun!!  So all and all my birthday turned out to be a fabulous occassion when it started out just like any other day.  Thanks to all who make it so great!
