HAPPY MONDAY! Hope you had a great weekend! mine was puuuurrrrfect. :)
Friday night B and i went up to my moms house in Oxnard. we had a great dinner in the harbor and went to a bar that i will never go to again. you know that feeling where you know you don't belong somewhere? yah....not a fun place to be. :)
Saturday we woke up, made breakfast and laid out at the beach all day. my girlfriend drove up and we hung out in the sun for hours.
Sunday we had "sunday funday" beach day with friends. my plan is to do a beach day every Sunday with our amigos. we laid out from 11-4, played in the water and did some amazing people watching. HEHE. we walked over to Venice and had lunch. Venice on a weekend is amazing. it was so packed with every walk of life and is the best place to sit and watch. we all got ice cream and walked over to the biggest drum circle i've ever seen. it was a mini rave on the beach! i have just one question----why do the cops avoid the drum circle? i dont get it!! my poor boyfriend can get a ticket for spitting (yes, crazy i know) and yet the junkies on the beach can spark one up and it's ok. i dont get it!!!!!!!
wishing you all a great day and week!
XOXOXO

up/down/bang bang
i need YOUR help!
i am in a wedding in a few weeks (well more like 7) and i am not sure how to wear my hair. the dress is a gorgeous deep pink tube top. i have been growing my hair out (ie-bangs) and i am dying to cut it. i want straight bangs again but I'm not sure if i should wait until after the wedding. Should i leave my hair long so i can have an awesome updo or should i cut it and wear it down? the bride to be is awesome and wants us to do what we want. :)
Thoughts????????
he defines perfect.
TGIF bitches! ;)
i have to brag:
last night the bf had plans and was not going to be home. you know what that means---ME night! so, i got off work and decided to go to the store since we have no food at home. i bought a bottle of wine, salad stuff and brownie mix. when i was checking out the guy (we made friends since we see him every other day) decides to tell me that my "partner in crime" was just in there and bought some of the same things. i was kind of surprised but then simply thought oh maybe he bought some stuff for his mom. so i go home and in our kitchen is a huge bottle of wine, beautiful flowers and a card with money in it to order food from our favorite chinese place. sighhhhhhh. AMAZING right? he is so perfect and since i've been an over emotional baby i started balling. but in a good way! :) he makes me feel so special! my night was perfect..i made brownies, headbands, drank too many glasses of wine and watched 16 and pregnant.
LOVE YOU BABY!
Hope you all have a great friday!!!!!!!!!!! and weekend of course!!

party like a rock star on a school night
So..yesterday was a rough day. BLEH!!! i think all of my emotions decided to come out yesterday and it was not pretty. im on an emotional roller coaster that wont seem to end and im not sure if it ever will. to make things worse....it took me an hour and a half to get home because of the stupid fire near the Getty. are you kidding?!?!? i went home and cried and felt soooo much better. after unleashing for a bit i went to my moms for my brothers birthday! we had a great time. homemade sushi and rockband with all the sibs and sib to be is a great night. love!

happy 4th!
Hi bloggers! i seriously love long weekends! why, oh why do they go by so fast?
Friday the bf and i went up to my moms new beach house in Oxnard. it was my step dad's bday and we hung out with them and BBQ'd some delish steaks.
Saturday-HAPPY JULY 4th!!!!!! we went to our Friends house and went to Hermosa! we hung out at my boss' house all day, partied, drank on the beach, met a ton of people and saw pretty fire works! so fun!!
Sunday-B and i went to visit my dad and step mom and hung out with them for a bit. greatest line-my step mom called me last week and said "hi hunny, i just wanted to let you know we are going to get your father a marijuana card". so great! thank god it's legal for chemo patients. hopefully it helps. :) we left my dads and B and i went back home and laid out all day. it was 100 degrees outside. CRAZY hot! Brandon made us the best dinner and we went to bed wayyy too early. Brandon woke up around 1ish and was up all night. ARGH! ((love you baby))
I hope you all had a GREAT 4th of July long weekend! ♥

hoooookah
B and i had a spare of the moment date night. it wasn't the worlds greatest day but the bf made it all better. we went to a new cheap sushi place in Sherman Oaks and we also went to the Hookah bar next door called Diablos. (fierce name, i know.) so random but we had a great time! i got really light headed and decided i don't like the hookah but i was having a great time with the smoke. Oh and it smells amazing. :)we were going to stop off at the Jackson's home but it was so crowded and i was too light headed. :( oh well.

one of my very best friends sent me this beautiful poem and i wanted to share.
CANCER:
It can't cripple love
It can't shatter hope
It can't corrode faith
It can't eat away peace
It can't destroy confidence
It can't kill friendship
It can't shut out memories
It can't silence courage
It can't invade the soul
It can't reduce eternal life
It can't quench the Spirits
It can't lessen the power of the resurrection
so true but so hard to live by when it feels like the world stopped spinning. BUT today is a better day. ♥

Janet Jackson :circa 1993
Bonjour bloggers!
how are you doing?
we had a great weekend that wasn't filled with sadness. Friday night Brandon and i went to my moms and hung out with my brothers and their friends. we had a great time! Brandon and I decided to play "a round" of beer pong and ended up winning 6 games in a row!! i swear we have never played together. so funny. it was the first time we drank in weeks and wow----i am now considered a cheap date. ;)
Saturday Brandon and i ran a few errands and hung out with my dad for a bit. On our way back we saw the funniest thing. This guy on a bike was wearing the most amazing jacket and i had to share with you all. it made Brandon and i laugh so i thought you would enjoy as well. ;)
amazing right?
Sat night we went and had margaritas for a friends bday and had so much fun. we haven't seen our friends in weeks and it felt SO good to finally hang out!
Sunday-FATHER's DAY!! Happy Father's day to all Dad's out there! Brandon and I got up early and made from scratch one of my dads favorite meals. homemade chili rellenos!! we had so much fun cooking together. i am really loving this whole cooking thing! I also baked chocolate chip cookies from scratch. i felt like such a mom. hehe the cookies came out too fluffy for my liking but they are ok if you want half cookie half cake. ;) We surprised my dad with the food and hung out for a bit. we then went to my moms house and had yummy BBQ and then all went to get a massage. HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! perfect ending to the week.
Hope you all have a great week!
XOXO

a couple who cooks together.....
HAPPY THURS!! my favorite day of the week! YAY! so last night I really, really, REALLY wanted to make dinner with Brandon. :::quick note, i don't cook. everything about the kitchen freaks me out but for whatever reason (miracle perhaps) i wanted to cook. i looked up some recipes online and in the books we have and the "One-pan potato-pepper chicken" won!! we had so much fun cutting and cooking. I have to be honest and say that when i was cutting the chicken in to "thin strips" it felt like i was cutting someones leg. too thick for me. blehhhh! but i DID it! i would have never touched raw meat a year ago and yesterday i not only touched but cut, poked and cooked. WOO! after dinner was made i then wanted to bake! (crazy i know!) i made brownies from Trader Joes and they came out BLICIOUS!!!! ;)
Hope you all have a fabulous day!!! ♥

7 things on my mind
1. Brandon and I finally had a great night. we got to watch TV, hang out on the couch and B made us a yummy dinner. i didn't realize how much i missed that.
2. I wish more than anything that our lame medical system would just give us the cure for cancer. i know it's out there! Seeing someone you love in so much pain is the worst feeling and i know that there is something that can be done. sad.
3. I woke up at 5 this morning to work out before work and it felt so good!!
4. I love everything about freshly painted nails.
5. I have the best Friends a girl can ask for. Brandon and i are so blessed to have each other and to have a great support system with people that truly care.
6. Kinda excited for the Lakers parade tomorrow since it's going to be right around the corner from my office. LA rocks!!
7. Dying to see the Hangover.

LA!!
happy monday! hope you had a great weekend!
let's see...Thursday after work we went to my brother's HS graduation. SO CUTE!!! i can't believe he's done. SCARY!
Friday B and I were in Ventura all day visiting with my dad. Brandon's mom came up with him and was involved in our big meeting with a good team of Dr's. love her! it's heartbreaking for me to hear the reality of the disease and how bad the cancer is but everyone seems hopeful that he can fight this physically and spiritually so we need all the prayers we can get.
Sat-we spent all Saturday with my dad. he's home and it's so nice to visit him at home rather than the awful hospital that makes you lethargic. :( sighhh..
so.....i've been saying for a while that we seem to have a dark cloud over our head-here's a great story...Sat night was our first night home early. we haven't been home in weeks so it felt good to sit on the couch and turn the TV on. Brandon suggested we go have a nice date night. we went to a great restaurant and had a fabulous time. spending some much needed time together and crying over everything we have been going through. (in a good way though)..so we leave to go home and low and behold our car is gone. GONE!@&*!)!@*!!!! it was towed. ARGHHH! like really? thank god for my brother. he picked us up and took us to the tow yard where we had to pay $143.00 for 2 hours! such BS!!!!!!!!!! but hey....it's life right? i swear we have a cloud over us that wont go away! funny now, but miserable sat night. that was the worst feeling realizing our car was gone. there is so much emotion that ran through me that only caused tears to pour out. poooooop.
Sunday we slept in which was heaven and we hung out with my dad and watched the LAKER's kick ass! so fun to share that with him!!
♥ 
Hope you have a great week! we have too at this point right? ;)

sharing is caring
had to share-
last night after work i drove up to Ventura to see my dad. he is a thousand times better and it was good to hang out with him on better terms. Brandon and i grabbed a quick dinner and when we got home there were BEAUTIFUL flowers from one of my besties!! how amazing is that? she made my day! she doesn't live close either so major bestie points. ;) Brandon saw them earlier and didn't say anything so i would be surprised. it was a perfect ending to a good day! ♥
also, i had to share this with all the cat lovers our there-Brandon and i went to Barnes and Nobles one day when we were in Ventura and we were both zombies from being at the hospital for hours and hours. we were walking around and went to the humor section. Brandon picked up this book called "stuff on my cat" and we seriously stood there and went through every page and laughed so hard it hurt. it felt so good to smile after so many days and it was all because this amazing book. If you have a cat you can relate 100% to the book & website. take a look, i guarantee it's a good laugh.
My little brother is graduating high school tonight! EEEEEEEEEEEE!!! can't wait!

keeping "it" together
hi blog world!!!! oh how i have missed you sooooo much! i miss the great email updates with your wonderful, supporting comments and i miss writing about my thoughts and of course posting pics. ;)
i have been trying to keep "it" together with everything going on ((whatever that means.))"IT" is my life and i feel like it's been falling apart in the past few weeks....in a nut shell, my dad has been battling colon cancer for over a year. we found out that the nasty disease has spread and it hit us like a ton of bricks. he has been on really harsh drugs ie:morhpine and after his first treatment of chemo and taking way too many meds, last week he developed pneumonia and could not breath on his own. with in minutes they rushed him down to ICU and he was hooked up to a ventilator also known as life support. When the dr said we could go in there to see him i was NOT expecting to see what we saw. it was the worst sight and i would never wish that on anyone. they should warn you before you go in there. they should tell you about all the tubes and what the machine does and looks like. my dad looked awful with tape on his mouth, his chest moving way too fast and this gynormous machine breathing for him. i mean thank god we have those alternatives but shit! that was the scariest thing. it happened so fast and all i remember is going numb. I could not stand in there for more than 30 seconds without breaking down. without feeling like my heart would stop or that my knees would fall off. i kept getting the feeling of every limb falling asleep and i felt like i weighed a thousand pounds. :(:(:(
Brandon has truly been an angel! i am so blessed to have him in my life. he will never know what he has done for me and my family. i know this all sounds awful but after 6 long days my dad is off that icky machine and breathing on his own!!!!!! he has a long road ahead of him but today is the first day i have been back to work and can actually semi focus. he is leaving ICU today and will hopefully go home by next week. We truly have the best friends and family in the world. every one's prayers and support have kept us going. there are people in our lives that have been here every step of the way and it keeps us smiling and strong!
i know my posts have been depressing and non existent but it feels good to type out the story and know that there is light at the end of this tunnel. i have learned through all this that the people who care most will never leave your side. there is no way anyone can go through these types of things on their own without their closest and dearest by their side. ♥ ♥ ♥
with that said...i am hoping to blog more and not be so damn depressing!
Last weekend i broke away from the hospital for a few hours to go the the most beautiful bridal shower...pics below.
The girls ♥
you can click all pics to see them bigger.
P.S.
it was so weird taking out my camera after so long. when i was looking back at the pics only a few weeks ago felt like a life time ago. strange.
Hope you are all great and having a good week! XOXO

love life.
hi lovies! sorry for being MIA but my weekend went from being one of the best to one of the worst.
rewinnnnnnnd-
last Friday we got to hang out with our friends Marie and Paul! we made sushi together and had the best time. we have not seen them in a year and i wish on everything that they lived closer. (NY is too far ;))
Saturday B and i got ready and headed out to Temecula for our anniversary weekend. our hotel was perfect, the wineries were amazing, we had the best dinner and the best time relaxing together. ****oh and....Brandon got me the most amazing diamond earrings! he is so sweet and i can't believe he bought me diamonds!!! (diamonds are my birth stone-teeeheee)
so Sunday morning we hung out by the pool and had in room massages. PERFECT! after our massage i had a voicemail from my step mom giving me bad news about my dad. :( he is back in the hospital and is not doing well. Please say your prayers that he gets better. we need all the love and prayers we can get! he will be starting chemo today and although i dont want to get too sappy on here, i figure that this is my online journal and this is what is going on in my life right now so why not?? sad and totally a debbie downer but it's life right? we are all so scared and are only hoping for the best.
so the last few days have been scary and bleh but we are trying our best to not break. it's heartbreaking to see someone that you love so much in so much pain. i wish i could take it all away. i wish i could grab someone and make them take it away. seeing my dad cry is the worst feeling. it's hard to see someone who has always been strong for you through life break down. it's hard to hear the Dr's give us bad news and see how scared my family is. i hate that there is nothing i can do to change this awful situation. i just want to sleep and wake up to good news. :( I am so lucky to have Brandon by my side. we are both on edge at this point but he is so supportive and i love him to death. i would be a mess without him. we also have the best friends and family. i love all the calls, texts and emails i have received from so many people that care. it makes us smile and feel better about the situation. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i was looking at the pics below and our trip seriously feels like a year ago. Crazy how life is...
so anyway-hope you all had a GREAT long weekend even though a new one starts tomorrow. :) XOXO
We got home Monday (our actual Anniversary) and B made us heart shaped burgers. so cute!!!!!!!

Do you know the way to San Jose? lalalalala
HI! how was your weekend? ;) mine was perfecto but i can't wait till this weekend!!! i know, i know it's only Monday but i am sooooo excited. Let's start off with this past weekend.
Brandon and i took a road trip up to San Jose. I left work early because of course i didn't pack (we had gone out with a few friends the night before) and it was also my brothers prom and i wanted to take pics with him before he left. GO FIGURE that I had to get off the freeway to get gas and i got lost. FML! i was driving around for about an hour and got home so late. well i still got to see my bro and then had to pack and get on the road. we got up to San Jose and played rock band for a while and just hung out. Mariah cary better watch out. seriously.
Saturday we hung out with B's bro and sis. we had a great night laughing and talking about god knows what. :::bullshit bullshit bullshit::: (forgetting Sarah Marshall?!!) Sunday we got back on the road to come home. we stopped at Casa de Fruta which is a huge farmers market. so fun! we bought some fruit, honey and a yummy sauce that we can't wait to try. we sat on the wall by the train and had an orange and then got back on the road. sighhh.
we had a great weekend together!
so back to next weekend......EEEEEEEEEEE!!! next Monday is Bsquared's SIX YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!! SIX YEARS! EEEEEEEE!!! more sappy posts to come all week. ;)
Have a great day/ week!
