Festival of Lights

So last Friday Allen and I went to the DWP Festival of Lights at Griffith Park and it was awesome. I would highly recommend it. The best display was the the one from LAX. They had the resturant, the light towers and a plane taking off. Second place display was the entrance it was a tunnel Christmas lights. Christmas lights are awesome.




Then on Saturday we went to Marina Del Rey to see Allens uncles boat in the parade of lights. Although we never got a hold of him, I'm sure we saw the boat. It was very strange. There were only like 6 boats and there were like 100's of people and it was pouring. I wore 2 pairs of pants, 2 shirts, a jacket, scarf, beanie, gloves and combat boots but I needed wind shield wipers on my glasses.

Sunday was a much more lazy day. We spent the whole day decorating the house for Christmas.

We have finished all our shopping but it's that darn wrapping that I haven't gotten to yet. But there is always tomorrow. But tomorrow I plan to do the Christmas cards but I'm sure I'll find time before Sunday when we'll be celebrating Christmas with Allen's dad. And between now and Sunday I have to bake a boat load of cookies for Allen's presents for his co-workers, go to a Christmas party and we have committed to volunteer on Sunday to wrap presents for MEND. Oh, and I have to pack for Chico and wrap all of Allen's gifts before Wednesday when we're celebrating with each other. CRAP!!!!

1st weekend in December 2009

Ahhh! Allen and I almost gotten eaten by a billion year old shark!


This past weekend marks Allen and I's nine years of dating, so we went to a moutain cabin in Ramona, Ca (by San Diego). We had a great time and the cabin was about the same size as our 1st condo.

On Saturday we went to a LA Kings vs St. Louis Blues hockey game and the Kings lost but we got a super cool bobblehead and Allen bought me a little breast cancer helmet to go on him.

On Sunday we went to Seaworld, it was super cool. We saw the shamu holiday show and ice skated. It was a great reminder of what winter fun can be like. The only thing missing was a inner tube and some snow.

We even brought up the Christmas decorations and we've been threatening to start decorating this weekend.

As a side note, Allen and I just bought an ipod ... I know we're like the only people in the world without one but we bought it using money we got from collecting cans ($30) and lost coin change ($191) and we each but in $20. It was amazing... we had $20 in pennies.
