lets start with the fact that i am slowly learning how to train myself better in the gym. i havent really lost any weight but i havent gained any and i have lost inches. I need to get better at my eating habits which is one of my toughest things. im still training myself to one day become a runner. i have my first 5k coming up october 9 which im actually really excited about. its a color and i cant wait! im sad i have to do it by myself but hey sometimes you have to do things alone! anyways so thats where is stand in my health aspect of life.
On to spending the day with mina and vania. It was one of those gloomy kind of days and i decided to drive down to my sisters to spend some time with her and vania. When i got there we got ready to leave to some stores. We went to panera for a bite to eat. I always loved paneras mac and cheese and out of no where vania decided she wanted some so we shared lol. we went all over the place. We stopped at costco to look at the christmas deco they already have out and man do they have alot! i absolutely cant wait for christmas this year! its my favorite. we also went and found a halloween store and vania looked around for something to wear. She was excited about the store. Vanias favorite part of the day was when i brought her her surprise! i got her a cell phone! just a little go phone with 10 dollars on it. she was beyond excited to call her aunt and uncle and gramma on the phone! im really sad becuase i had been face timing with her and i know she loves that but i cant afford to get her her own iphone! maybe for christmas. either way she loved it.
That same night after going to a couple more store lile michaels i went home to spend the evening with jesse. we made some arts and crafts for halloween while listening to some spooky music!
A couple mondays ago jesse and i decided to make our annual trip up to oak glen to go apple picking. This year they decided to keep everything open during the weekdays which is perfect for us since jesse works on the weekends and i can get days during the week off. We headed up there around 11. It was so blistering hot in riverside but up in oak glen it was perfect weather. it even started to drizzle a little bit. our first stop was rileys farm where we picked our apples. We actually got quite a few and they are so delicious! we saw some chickens and a pig at rileys too! jesse looked so cute trying to get down some apple with the big picker! lol after rileys we drove up a bit to the rios ranch where we had lunch. i had this delicious sandwhich while jesse had some bbq. there wasnt alot of people there at all so it was really nice day to go up. after lunch we went to the apple store where we tried the apple cider and the apple buuter. of course we bought some and of course its almost already gone lol its so good!!!! the also have oops carmel apples for a dollar. those are the ones that they put too much carmel on and it drips down so they dont look so pretty but idc they are yummy! after the store we went a little more ways up to the other section. alot of the things were closed but the stores on the outside were open. they already have some christmas things there too!!!
A couple weeks ago i started a job working for fun flicks! we go to orange county riverside and san diego! so far it has been a blast! here is one i set up for a kids pool birthday party
here is a picture of my sister at bjs one sunday after church. Idk why i think its funny.
Moving on to spending the day with Vania! i cant tell you how much i love my niece. she is so silly sometimes and always makes me laugh. She has started kindergarten and is getting adjusted to that. shes doing really well. Shes already made some new friends and what do you know she has a friend named kira! she says to my sister "mommy now i have 2 friends named kira!" lol. Im almost positive Vania only sees me as a big kid. its pretty funny she always asks if im going to participate in the things she does. anyways, so one day i decided to drive down to my sisters house to spend the day with them. Right after my sister took vania to class i arrived. My sister and i went to target to start looking for halloween decorations and seeing all the goodies they had for the holiday. i had bought some hot apple cider (even though it wasnt cold outside) for my sister and i, and cookies and halloween movie for vania for when she got home after homework time. When my sister and i went to pick up vania she was so excited i was there! i told her i got her some treats and she couldnt wait to get them! after homework we baked cookies together and watch the ruby gloom! it was so nice!
So glad to get to spend another full day with my love with no work or anything. on this days we decided to be active all day as much as possible. We climbed to target hill which is very short but actually pretty steep. Then we went to the batting cages which was cool because we were the only ones there and didnt have to wait for anything. Then that night we went to the gym! trying our hardests to be healthy!
Graduation time! i cant believe how far i have come. These couple of years have flew by. i never even could imagine have becoming an ultrasound tech but let me tell you i love it! it does get pretty challenging but its very much worth it!we had our graduation on sept 14 and i had a little party with friends and family afterwards! Vania came and was the life of the party of course! it was a great day!
The monday after graduation Jesse , her dad and i went up to crestline where jesse's best friend chelsea's dad lives in a cabin. We met up with chelsea and her fiance peter and chelsea's dad tom. crestline is so pretty. it looks even prettier and christmas time because they get some snow up there. we started off with lunch at some place i forgot the name of but it was delicious! when we got back to the cabin we got ready to go on a hike to heart rock. im going to say its about a mile hike not bad at all. when we pulled up they showed us that the little camp we pass by is actually the camp used to film the parent trap with lindsey lohan! i thought that was pretty cool! lol when were finished the hike we went back to the cabin and just talked and caught up on life and what not! we also made rice crispy treat halloween owls! when it was time to go home i was pretty nervous because i have never driven down a mountain and on top of that it was dark! but actually being dark made it easier and it looked alot prettier to see the lights.
here is beamer. i had to shave him down and i got him a new sweater. if you new what he looked like before he was a complete mess. he looked like a huge ball of fur. now hes handsome again!
yesterday i took out the halloween decorations and decorated with my mom!!! it was fun! i love decorating for halloween and christmas they are both my favorite times of the year i go crazy when its that time!!!! i need to go by more lights and stuff! i cant wait for fall weather and halloween and christmas time!! makes me so happy!
