Katie winning her run!

We had Special Olympics on Sat. this was Ro's first yr. of going. he had fun and took some great pictures of my friends and Katie running.Well we don't have a plum tree anymore.. It fell down on Mon. on top of the lime tree. We had to borrow my uncle's chainsaw to cut it all the way down and into pieces.. Friday our neighbor's house got broken into so now we decided to put in an alarm system so they are coming out Tues. this week. Ever since their house was broken into and they stole about 10,000 worth of stuff I hate being home alone so we think the only way I will be able to feel safe in our home is an alarm system. I'm wondering how this week of work is going to be we have testing all week except Fri. But we have 3 min. days this week so off at 1:12 will be nice. Katie will test with her full inclusion specialist on Wed. and the rest of the days we will hang out in the Detention room and work on some fun stuff. Hopefully we won't be too bored. My Mom and I went to a Bridal Gala today at a local restaurant and we found some good ideas we are thinking maybe we should do cupcakes instead of cake. The last wedding I went to started late and we didn't finish eating dinner until 10pm. so we didn't even eat cake. So we thought maybe we could put the cupcakes in the middle of the table as a centerpiece and the people can eat there cake whenever and not have to wait for it to come out of for someone to cut it. We say some really cute daisy cupcakes today.. So lots of ideas today.

Ro's new tat..

Pretty cool right!?!? And this man says he doesn't want a mariachi at our wedding.. LOL

Last two days have been very eventful

Yesterday my Mom and I went to visit a seamstress in Hughson. She showed me some material and gave us some prices. She had a daisy dress that she had made for a bridal show. It was sooooo cute.. But the neckline wouldn't of worked because my Nana has a special necklace for me to wear. So my Mom told her that she might buy it from her. =0) http://www.lisaannedesign.com is her website. She is a super nice woman with 3 boys! I wish my bridemaids all lived closer or I would have her do there dresses as well. I did buy a dress for one bridesmaid today on ebay for $25 bucks! It's green and strapless.. It's a size 12 so I'm not sure who will like it and if it doesn't fit the alternations shouldn't be that expensive. I've been looking for green and yellow dresses on ebay.. In my opinion why pay so much for a dress you only wear once.. So I 'm thinking $30 or under on ebay is the way to go. But from other bridesmaids that wore the dress once.. I love the fact of buying from someone to help them out and not some big bridal shop that makes millions a week. Today Ro and my Mom went to go meet with a videographer.. and we saw some videos and talked about where we should get married on the property and what side is sunny and which one is shady and the pros and cons.. Got all the info.. and he's given us a fat discount! Whooo hoo! Ro is gone right now.. it's 10:23pm and he is getting touched up on his tat's and he's also getting a new one.. His friend tat's him and so his friend wanted to give him a free one for his birthday. Which was last month! Ro won't tell me what he got.. so I'm nervously waiting for him to come home and see what he got. I will take pictures when he gets home and post them.. He says I will like it.. He says it's on his other shoulder that isn't tated yet.. HMMMMMMMM

Busy weekend.. Ready for the week off

So yesterday we went to Jamin's Mom's house to have a early dinner. Elena's Mom was there and "D", Sarah, Joe, Jamin's Aunt,Grandma, and his Mom's friend from work. We had a good time and lots of laughs. Today I went to brunch with a friend and then when I got home Nini was here and then Ralphael came we started making dinner. Then Maria Ro's Mom called Ralphael and he told him he was here.. let's rewind a little. I haven't been on good terms with Ro's Mom for about almost 3 yrs. if you know the story you know why. Ro felt bad because she called him after she talked to his Dad. So he looked at me and asked if she could come over.. Well with the 3 men are looking at me and are laughing because they know I'm uncomfortable. I said sure. So first I think what can I do so I can be out of the house. I am working on painting a hutch on the back patio. So I changed and headed out there. While I'm painting I hear her voice and my stomach get's upset and the anxiety is building. I had to stop painting and sat down at a table outside. We are watching my Dad's dog until Tues. She is out there with me and I just sit there thinking what should I do what's gonna happen when I finally have to go in. All of a sudden Ro comes out with his Mom in tow and he makes me get up and talk to her, she hugs me we talk and all of a sudden everything is fine. So I came inside and we started talking and making rice. I showed her our wedding website and talked about our wedding. When she left I invited her to our housewarming party on Sat. So it was a good Easter, and I know that Ro feels a lot better knowing that his Mom and I are ok now. Also we Skyped Ralph, Jenny, and Ava, it was good to see them. I want to find more people that are on there. It's a fun way to communicate. My fav. part is that it is FREE! Whohoo!

Maybe this wasn't a good idea

So both of my parents are gone for Easter.. =0( I don't think this has ever happened. My Dad has this yellow lab named Noni she is the sweetest low key dog ever. Ro and I don't like to hear that she goes the kennel . We rather have her be here with us. We have dog sat her before at Sunny Park, but not at our new house yet or around Delilah. I think the last time we had Delilah in our bedroom so she never met Noni. So Noni came yesterday we like to keep her inside because normally she's outside dog and doesn't get a lot of attention because my parents and my sister are so busy. So we love to spoil her will love and bonding time when she's with us. It took about an hr until Delilah came out and checked out the new visitor. She seemed fine and she kept her distance, Noni does whine at her though .. because she wants to play. Delilah seemed fine all last night and they slept on there separate couchs. But this morning I went outside to put the mail in the mail box I closed the door behind me and when I opened it Delilah was right there. Usually she is.. waiting for me.. today she decided to bolt! She ran outside and I sat in the door way calling her, then I tried chasing her. She was hanging out by a tree and I thought that she would bolt it up but she didn't .. I gave up and came inside to call Ro.. I am not sure why but I was a blubbering mess because I thought my baby didn't want to be here anymore because Noni was here, and this was her way of saying Hasta La Vista... I called Ro and he's not upset or anything and I can barely talk and hold the phone. Then all of a sudden I hear here scratching on the door.. First thought she really does love me! I ran to the door and she bolted right back in .. UGH! What a morning! She hid behind the couch for awhile because she was probably recovering from her trip outside. Then she finally came out and sat on her beanbag watching Noni. So I'm really confused because I thought she wasn't happy Noni was here why would she be intrigued with watching her.. Who knows.. what if animals could talk to you and explain themselves.. I'm just glad that Delilah decided that she wanted to be here and not run away.. I knew I always had a reason to have a collar on her with her name and Ro and my numbers.. in case this happened... but now a days do you really think people call.. I did last month when a beautiful German Shepard was roaming the streets, I called it over and it had tags and I called the number.. The man didn't live too far and he came and picked up the dog.Hmmm well here's what they are doing now..

My purple socks.. Jamin said I should

I figured I could blog about anything.. J suggested my socks.. they are white with purple stripes.. the bottoms aren't very dirty because I have only walked in garage once with them. If I had been out there more than three times they would be a dirt color on the bottoms. They are thin, which means they are breathable and they don't make my feet sweat. That's nice, I like that feature. I usually wear them with tennis shoes because they are breathable.
Tonight we had a little kick back we had Jamin, Elena and their baby Teveah, and also our friend Tom that we haven't seen in awhile. We had pizza and lots of laughs. We watched the final game of the final 4 for college basketball.

I love my sister and brother in law.. but
