Karaoke Queens

Pernille's house got turned inside out when we all took the stage to sing!

The Ladies

I went back to San Diego for the weekend and spent some time with the ladies from LEGOLAND.
We had a blast partying at Pernille's house!

Go Dodgers...I mean Diamondbacks...I mean Padres!

My good friend Laura and her husband Dave came to visit a few weeks ago. They (especially Dave) are huge Dodger fans. Since the Dodgers were playing the hometown Diamondbacks, we all went to the game. It was quite the crisis in who to root for because Chris andI usually root for the Padres, but since we moved to AZ we root for the D-Backs, but we were with Dodger blue!

Here is Laura and Dave

Laura and I worked at Pizza Nova together

Our favorite feature so far - the built in fireplace!

This is the view from the living room looking out onto the covered patio.

The view with the "rolling wall of glass" open. This picture is taken from inside our dining room with the wall pulled completely open to the covered patio

Chris is warming himself by the fire!

Updated house pictures

This is the house as it looked about a month ago...it is even farther along now. They will start drywalling next week!
Here it is from the front:

This is the view as you walk in the front door...
you can see all the way down the house to the "backyard"

The view from the guest bedroom. This is a window seat that looks out on to the street. For everyone that wants to come and visit - this will be your room!

The view from the back corner of our property looking at the back of the house...that opening that you see leads to our covered patio with built in fireplace

The Bunch Family

I saw my good friend Erin and her family over 4th of July weekend - I really wanted to get a photo of me, her and her son Jett, but he wasn't really in the mood to be photographed!

The Elliotts!!

Mr. and Mrs. Brian and Allison Elliott

Post ceremony

I really like this picture of Alli with her Dad

Here are some of Chris and I

The Big Day - getting ready!

The bride and her maids (technically two of us are matrons, but that sounds so old!)

The girls have a pre-ceremony toast!

Alli and I

Cocktail reception

Here is the mother of the bride and the bridesmaids!

Chris and I on night #2 at the cocktail reception - it was a ton of fun with delicious mexican food!

The mariachi band that played was awesome. Generally I am not a fan of the mariachi band, because when I am at a mexican restaurant I feel like they are stalking me...its all very uncomfortable. But it was really fun to have them at the party!

Friends for ages....here are Alli, Sarah and I! We have all known eachother since middle school! It was really fun to spend the week together.

Adventure cont...

After we finished looking at the ruins we hit up a little taco stand for some cervezas! There were some locals putting on this crazy show where they climed to the top of a pole (otherwise known as a lightning rod) and them flung themsleves off and dangled by thier bodies (see below). We think it was some sort of rain dance, because all of a sudden it started pouring!!

After the ruins we went to an adventure area where we snorekled in a cave (freezing water!) then went rappelling then ziplining!
