Chicago!

This past weekend, my friend Jordan and I went to go visit the wonderful Laura Baum in Chicago! It was such a wonderful weekend and non-stop fun! I am pretty sure we did not stop for 3 days straight :) We had a delicious dinner at Quarentino on Friday night and out near Laura's house for some drinks! On Saturday morning we had an amazing breakfast at Orange where they actually had Frushi! It's fruit that looks just like Sushi! We wanted to go there on Sunday too but LB made us try new places! :) We then went to a Street Festival on Saturday, which was so much fun! That evening was much more lowkey with Sushi and delicious cupcakes! Sunday was a great dat filled with shopping and touring downtown Chi-town! After a weekend filled with fun, Jordan and I ended up getting a little bit tipsy on the plane ride home! Needless to say, it was a very fast 3 hour flight! :)

Gina's 30th Birthday!

We had a blast at Gina's 30th Birthday Dinner! Last Thursday, a big group got together for drinks at The Estate House (loved it!) and then had an amazing dinner at Cowboy Ciao! I tried raw Salmon (not sure what I was thinking) but then quickly stopped eating it! We had sooo much fun!

Steve's 45th Birthday Celebration!

We had an absolute blast celebrating Steve's 45th Birthday up in Flagstaff! We definitely surprised him and had an evening filled with kareokee, great food and drinks galore! It was nice to be with my wonderful family!

Our 1 Year Wedding Anniversary!

Wow! Has it been a year already?! What a wonderful 1st year of marriage! I definitely have the best husband I could ever dream for! Chris and I had a wonderul, relaxing anniversary! He surprised me with a gorgeous ring and a delicious dinner at P.F. Chang's! Yum! The 1 year old cake wasn't as "tasty" but such a fun tradition!

The Napa Valley Marathon! Take 2!

5 years later and Jen and I were ready again to complete our 2nd Napa Valley Marathon! Chris and I spent the weekend with one of our favorite couples ever...Jen and Jake! We had a blast, loved seeing their home, meeting their pups and showing Chris all around my college stomping grounds! It was so fun! And what a great way to end the vacation but with a rainy, cold marathon! The good news? We finished! I couldn't ask for a better running partner! Great job Jen girl! I miss you!

2009 MDA Walk!

On March 28, 2009 my family joined together to walk 3 miles around Tempe Town Lake to support finding a cure for MDA, a disease that 5 of my family members face. I admire their courage and amazingly positive attitude towards such a challenge. Casey Andrews, my adorable cousin, was crowned The Ambassador for MDA....what an honor! We all can't wait until next year to Walk again!
