Three Year Anniversary

Ryan and I celebrated our 3yr anniversary last Monday, Sept 7. We both had to work that day so we didn't do much. However this week we decided to go and visit a few friends in Berkeley, as well as two of my cousins from my dad's side. We didn't have much time, only two days, but we packed in a lot of fun in two days, one night. When we were driving out of the mountains we stopped at Joe's Crab Shack in Sacramento. It is right on the river, and it was a beautiful day so we decided to sit out on the deck.

After Joe's we continued onto Berkeley/North Oakland and to our friends house. We dropped off our stuff and used our GPS to find a mall to get some new shoes. Our GPS tells you how to get there, but not where you are going. We ended up in West Oakland, very, very, very scary. Once we found the 'mall' we went into the one shop, that looked safe, and then we left, empty handed. Figured we could find a better and safer mall somewhere else. The rest of the night was spent at Zachary's pizza with my friend from high school Brit. We had an awesome time.

The next day we ended up in Emeryville at their mall. We went to Teacake Bakery and enjoyed some fresh cookies. Went into H&M (the best clothing store in the world) and found a shirt and some shoes. Then Ryan and I met up with my cousins Julie & Katie for a quick chat at the mall. One had just finished a run, and the other was at work so they only had a short time to catch up. We did a little more browsing and then went back to Brandon & Alisha's house so Brandon could show us UC Berkeley's campus and the view. We drove all the way to the top of campus, near the science center and took some pictures.

It Works At Work... Again.

Finally, I can get onto blogger, via work internet. I have been so busy lately that I haven't been able to blog at home, and I couldn't get onto the website at work for a while... So now the question is what have I been up to that keeps me so busy?? Well after Ryan and I came back from Southern California we worked and worked, and we both picked up second jobs so that we can sustain ourselves during the slow season (Oct-Nov). I started working at Katie Cakes, she makes awesome, delicious and beautiful cakes. For now I am making ganache, mousse, batter, icing... all the good stuff. I also answer phones, return e-mails and finish contracts and help with cake tastings. It's all a lot of fun. Other than that I celebrated my 21st birthday, by seeing Willie Nelson & Bob Dylan, that was amazing.

Here are some pictures of the past few months.

These are all from when we visted LA and went to Disneyland with Ryan, his younger sister Kellie and Cousin Jennifer!!! We had an awesome time. It was kinda busy, but we got a bunch of FastPasses and ran around the park. The only ride we didn't get on was Space Mountain, but that is okay, because we went on Pirates twice, and on Big Thundermountain Railroad twice as well. At the end we went on Splash Mountain, and all got soaked, and then left right as the fireworks were starting to beat the rush.

Fireworks!!

If you look at my shirt and pants, you can see they're kinda wet.

During July Ryan and some other friends took me out into the hills of Carson City, NV and we went shooting!!! I never had held a gun until that day. I shot a 20-gauge and almost landed on my butt! The kick of the gun scared me so much, I started crying. After about a minute of that, I realized everyone was okay, and I started laughing. I can't believe I fired a gun, and then cried. Here is a shot of me & Ryan from that day.

Then on August 16th, I turned 21. That's right 2-1!!! I had a great day at work, and then went home and got ready for my night out on the town. We went to Chart House for dinner and that is where I had my Lemon Drop Martini. It was delicious!! After that we went to the concert and had a wonderful time. Bob Dylan was rocking for being so old, and Willie had so much energy the crowd really loved him! I also got an awesome cake, made by Katie (from Katie Cakes). It was 'Queen of Hearts' theme... and it came out even better than I ever could have imagined!!!

Hope you all enjoyed catching up with me. I will have another post very soon! :)
