Knobs

Lights!

A few of us went to a neighborhood in Brea, where lights adorned houses for blocks and blocks!

Choir singers!

Christmas day

My pastor's family invited a few of us over for lunch.

Time to read!

Drinks with the girls

I met up with some of my old school church friends for some late night chatting.So I gave Grace the camera and this is what I got ;)

Sans me

This took some effort!

Impromptu trip to Carlsbad!

We're definitely in California during Christmas time.

Mario's & Starbucks

A day spent with one of my dearest friends.

A Walk through Old Town Tustin

After a rainy couple days, I was sick of being cooped up, so I took a stroll through Old Town Tustin.

What a cool chimney!

I love the day after it has rained because everything is greener and bluer.

The livingroom in the street.

Interlude

In between the storm, I snapped a few shots with my new camera!
My mom loves her plants... maybe more than food ;)
I always find new statues and pots in our mini-garden.

Dinner at CPK

Dinner at CPK where so many of my friends came for my birthday! Thanks guys!

Early birthday dinner!

For dinner, we went to Villa Sorrisa up in Old Town Pasadena.

My friends made dinner for me and Janet for our birthdays this month.

What are birthdays without cake?

All of us!

A day in LA

Michael and I went to a coffee shop. He had to prepare his sermon.

While he prepared his sermon,

I walked around the neighborhood and took some pictures.

Turkeybowl

Although we didn't bring home a trophy, our GNC boys made a strong effort.

Happy birthday Mom!

Today was my mom's birthday!
Happy birthday mom!

Thanksgiving Day!

Thanksgiving at Michael's house in Georgia was the way it should be: lots of family coming over, kids running around the house, and good food. I didn't take too many pictures, but here are some of them.

One of Michael's cousins, Chloe learning how to play pool.

At the end of a long day, even Happy was exhausted.

Atlanta

This week I visited the South, home of waffle house, fall leaves, and great food.Of course you can't visit the South without having Waffle House!

My first real fall leaf!

We walked Happy at Lake Chattahoochee.

Sitting with Ben Franklin in Decatur.

Honda Ya!

I had dinner at this quaint Japanese restaurant near my house. Although we waited outside in the cold for an hour and half, it was quite a unique experience.

I looked up and thought these lamps were quite cool.

Orange County fires

Today, there were fires all around the Yorba Linda and Brea areas. It was chaos with smoke filling the air and traffic everywhere!As I waited for someone, I saw a tree's shadow against the wall.

I know it's hard to tell, but the smoke made a thick layer above the horizon.

Fight on & BEAT the Huskies!

Michael & I were invited to the USC v. Washington game at the Coliseum. It was my first SC football game & it was fun to see all the fans! We were among a sea of red...

Michael & me at the game!

As boring of a game as it was (58-0 shutout! Go trojans!), it was fun to feel the cultish spirit of SC fans!

Fall Festival!

Every year, my church holds a Fall Festival, the Halloween alternative for our kids. Although I spent most of the time helping out for our outdoor cafe for the parents, it was cool to see so many people dressed up.Matt & Cindy as Peter Pan & Tinkerbell.
Jennifer, me & Angela manning our refreshments table.

Michael could not keep Dorothy (Elizabeth) still!

Ann & David's wedding

Ann & David had their wedding in downtown Los Angeles! Cafe Pinot was the hot spot for this wonderful wedding/reception, outside of the Los Angeles Central Library.

I thought it was cool that all these different languages were on these steps.

Although I didn't get a picture with the newlyweds with my camera, these were the great people at my table.

I LOVE Sara B!

So I went to the Sara Bareilles concert at the Wiltern with my sister. She was an amazing performer (as well as Marc Broussard & band). Her voice just knocks my socks off! :)

Sarah & me during intermission. So we got these awesome front mezzanine tickets 'cause this elderly couple wanted to sit farther from the speakers. I could actually see Sara! ;)


Sadly, I tried posting videos, but uploading was taking too long. Sorry :(
