Ahh there I go again, abandoning my blog. I don't know that I can actually call it a blog when I only have a few posts.
Anywho, here's what we missed...
I got in a stupid car accident, slamming into the car in front of me. I have scarred any trust I had in my driving skills. My car took over a month to get fixed and is now on the market. When it came back, it just didn't feel like mine anymore. Plus, Theo and I decided I could use something newer with better gas mileage since I drive so much for my job, and we're approaching that "let's get a family car" stage. So voila! A family car is what we got, and I'm in love!
Then came my birthday. Oh how old 25 feels! Theo was amazing in planning my birthday. It was one surprise after another. First was an Ipad that we both have been dying for. My favorite function right now is iBooks. Then he took me to surprise dinner in West Lake Village. We ate a gourmet meal right on the water. Despite a cloudy windy morning, the weather at dinner was the best you can ask for. In fact I remember getting a nasty burn on my shoulders. Then we finished the night by coming home to my close friends yelling, "Surprise!" as they popped around the corner in my backyard. I've never had a surprise party before, about time! My parents worked so hard to get everything ready while Theo and I were at dinner. I have a beautiful family.
Oh and that pretty blue dress was a surprise from Theo that he picked out on his Hawaii trip. My man has great taste.
Here's a couple pics from a random Jeep adventure Theo and I took around Chatsworth.
Then came Theo's birthday. I was really feeling old for those 16 days that I spent at 25, and him 23. His birthday didn't go quite as planned since the weather did not cooperate with my surprise fishing day trip. The wind could not have gotten any worse. But we made the best of it, stopping in Ojai to find some beer tasting. Oh and how could I forget? I took Theo to pick out a new golf club set on his birthday. They seemed like a fortune, but he's already getting so much out of them. He proudly told his friends that it was my birthday gift for him, and they all ooohhed and ahhhed in jealousy. I love playing that role of the awesome wife.
Toward the end of May, I headed to Vegas with 12 other girls to celebrate the last days of my good friend Mo as a single lady. I had never been to Vegas with all girls before, and it was such an adventure! We trampled through the casino checking off tasks in flirty scavenger hunt. I happily played the role of amused by-stander. Then danced at our own private table that night for the cost of ZERO! What luxury it is to be in Vegas with all girls and have things handed to you because, well they want more girls in the club and go to surprising lengths to get them in. Another first? I rode a bull! And like a pro I might add. I got a nice little scrape on my arm and got to check off a task on my own unofficial bucket list. Mo is going to be such a gorgeous bride, and I'm so lucky to have her as a friend.
A few weekends ago, Theo and I jumped at the opportunity to spend the weekend at my aunt's house on Balboa Island while they were away. I spent countless summer days there with my family when I was younger and still make an effort to get out there at least once or twice each summer now. Theo fishing in the early morning, walks to main street for coffee, a large house all to ourselves, sunbathing on the dock, a trip to the fun zone (not as fun 15 years later), and champagne with frozen Bananas for our last night. One of the best times of the trip was when one of my Aunt's neighbors, a 7 year old girl, stumbled upon us fishing off my Aunt's dock. Her and her friend were absolutely giddy as Theo taught them to fish for the first time. I was just as giddy on the inside, watching my husband in "daddy" mode. What an amazing father he'll be one day.
Really? Cait?
And last but not least, a new summer 'do.
