Thanksgiving and Smith Rock!

Saturday, was prethanksgiving dinner with Travis' family in Oregon. It was a cold quiet day, which was perfect since we were all recovering from the Bars the night before. Travis made a delicious turkey, and we all ate to our hearts content! Sunday, we spent our day hiking around Smith Rock, north of Bend and a beautiful place to go hiking and rock climbing!

Bar Hopping in La Pine

Last weekend was a blast! We got to visit the Kinyon clan in Oregon and spend a long weekend with them. Lacey hitched a ride up to visit Dan as well:) We drove straight from the Bay Area to La Pine a total of a 9 hour ride, after we all worked a 12-hour shift! Crazy i know, but being young and "twitter peetted" does that to some people!! LOL!! Anyways, That friday night we decided to go to some local "honky" bars. Enjoy the pics!

Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy!!!

Now, you all know i really don't like country music, but there's this one place i really really like going to called the Saddle Rack! And yes, they play country music (and other genre's), but i think it's more than just the music...it's the alcohol!! We've been there several times and it's never disappointing. Last saturday Lacey and Dan came to visit us (or each other) lol!!! And we all went out for some good night fun! We met up with a couple of my fellow nurses from work, and cousin Wendy too!! Here's some pictures of the events that proceeded!!

Don't Cry for Me Argentina!!

ARGENTINA!!!

We had such a blast during our honeymoon! We enjoyed every bit of it. We stayed in Buenos Aires for 3.5 days, we ate to our hearts content!! We saw tango shows and a lot of sightseeing, did i mention A LOT of EATING!!!! Next, we flew south to Puerto Madryn to watch whales mating, and elephant seals raising their new babies, and Penguins looking for a girlfriend. It's spring time down there so there's many animals that migrate down to mate and raise their young. Wish we could have spent more time in such a wonderful country that had so much to offer. We had a great adventure!!

OUR WEDDING DAY!

Well...the day came and went all to quickly!! Had a fabulous time with wonderful family and friends around me. Travis' family were taking bets to see if i cried during my vows, but i held it together and scored!!! The day was beautiful in every way! I had my trusty bridesmaids that kept it light and cheery all day long! Everyone helped make the day spectacular...from my aunt doing all the girls hair in record time, to Brianne helping get our makeup beautiful, to Alicia decorating the table with the centerpieces, to the speeches that made the whole house cry, to my dad who stunned everyone with his dance moves while we danced, and to Travis... whom I'm thrilled to call my husband!! Travis and I deeply enjoyed our wedding day, which we will never forget and always cherish the beautiful memories that were made.

Bridal Shower Weekend

My wedding chi is in full force now! Only a month away and the excitement is building up! Had a great weekend with family and friends attending our couples shower this weekend in Pleasant Hill. The weather was hot, the food was good, but most of all there was a great crowd of peoples i enjoyed spending time with. Travis and i received several nice gifts which included the extremes ...from silver serving platters to x-rated delights to "redneck" china which basically means paper plates and cups!!! You gotta love Travis' family with their silly sense of humor! But the fun didn't end there. A group of us got together after the shower and went bar hopping in downtown Walnut Creek. We ended up at a gay club and danced to the wee hours of the morning, all because Travis thought 1 more shot of patron would be okay!!!! Yup, i had a blast!!

My Bach bash at Lake Berryessa!

I got to spend this weekend with some pretty special girls. The weekend was warm and relaxing. We got to spend it out by the water, but first had to work on some wardrobe malfunctions! Thank goodness Lacey was beside me to making sure we all got a sneak peak! We got some cool cups and tin cans that Michelle specially made for us (she's so freakin' crafty)!! I got to pop some balloons with my bum, and Trinette brought a cool game, which was perfect to play and drink to! The mommas of the bunch, brought their mommy spirits and made lunch for the rest of us. And the jersey girls with their funny jersey talk made it amusing to speak to. Too bad they had problems with a california shower! Overall, I had a fun time- hope the girls enjoyed spending the weekend at the lakehouse!
