Dogs at Work = Happiness

Recently the hotel I work for became a Kimpton Hotel - Hotel Palomar San Diego! This is so exciting because I have always been a huge fan of Kimpton hotels! They are environmentally conscious, pet friendly, and treat their employees so great (they were on FORTUNE'S "100 BEST COMPANIES TO WORK FOR" LIST)!! One of my favorite things is we get to bring our dogs to work with us, which is something I've always wanted to be able to do!! Lucky me :)

Here are some photos of Maggie and Buddha hard at work...

6 Years Woot Woot

Today marks our sixth anniversary! I am proud to say it's been an excellent ride on this roller coaster of marriage. Here is a poem I wrote today dedicated to my one and only...

Wow how six years have flown by,

and I've spent them with the greatest guy.
He is my lover, best friend and sweetie pie,

always making me laugh until I cry.
I can't imagine my life without him,
Life without would be like missing a limb.
He is the greatest and inspires me daily,
One day I will have his baby.

I love and adore you my sweet Kyle,

Not a day goes by that you don't make me smile.

Happy Anniversary Baby!! Love you!

Looking forward to infinity and beyond!

Look-A-Like

So many people tell us who they think Maggie looks like. Some say Chewbacca from Star Wars. Others say an Ewok. And we've even heard that she looks like The Berenstain Bears (my favorite childhood books). My question to you is

WHO DO YOU THINK MAGGIE LOOKS LIKE????

Ms Maggie May

Chewbacca

Ewok

Easter Earthquake

Shake rattle and roll. We have felt a couple minor shakes in the past few years that we have lived in California, but today was for sure the largest quake we have ever experienced. It was measured a 7.2 on the richter scale with the epicenter only about 118 miles away from us. Kyle and I spent our lovely Easter morning working at The Sofia Hotel (ugggh), we had just arrived home in our parking lot when we started to feel it. I thought that Kyle was revving the gas and pushing on the break making the car shake even though we were parked. It was super crazy feeling and then we realized it was an earthquake and jumped out of the car. We are all safe but it was definitely a new experience for us. We will keep you posted if we feel anymore rumbling from the earth here in San Diego.

L.A. Trip

Over the weekend we were able to take a trip to Los Angeles with our friends Pops and Chellor. There were some areas of LA that we visited that I've never seen before. The Fashion district was crazy, it felt like we weren't even in the U.S. We also visited the Old Down Town district which was super beautiful and amazing. We drove to LA live and New Down Town to view the modern architecture. But one of the highlights of the trip was visiting the spot that one of our favorite movies was filmed "500 days of Summer". There is a bench that Tom and Summer visit and we sought out to find that park and that bench. We found it and got some great pics. We also drove around Beverly Hills stalked celeb houses, but couldn't see much because they are covered with some mighty hedges. We satisfied our sugar crave at my favorite cupcake place "Crumbs" and then topped off the night visiting the Hollywood sign. We had a blast and I actually found some cool places in LA that I could live in, who knows Kyle could get an intern or job offer in that city.

New favoriite treat!!!

I have a confession...  I have discovered a new treat.  It's amazing!  There is this place called Yogurtland, you fill your own cup with yogurt and toppings and they weigh it and charge you by the ounce.  It is so delish!  We used to have to travel to Pacific Beach when we got our cravings but now there is one in Little Italy and it's open until midnight.  I wish they had one of these in Utah for all my peeps back home, I know it would be a big hit!! 

Baby here I come!!!!!

I'm so excited!  Tomorrow I get to go to Ohio to visit Kyle for a couple days.  He is out there selling alarms for APX and it's been since mid June since I've seen him.  I can't wait to be in his arms!  Seriously distance makes the heart grow fonder!!  So long farewell, I will be back Monday!
