Sock Monkies RULE!

Hello y'all...

I want you to watch this commercial from this year's SuperBowl. Not only did the Saints win, but Kia Motors put out this AWESOME commercial...

I've decided to be a sock monkey for Halloween.

Hmmmm... I wonder if I'll have as much fun.

WATCH IT!

My Special Day

Today is my special day - I flew from South Korea to the United States - and met my new mommy and papa! I was only ten months old and sooo adorable!

I am grateful for my parents and everything they have done and provided for me. I wouldn't be the person I am today without their influence!

I thank God each and everyday for placing me with a loving family.

Valentine's Day Continued...

Joey totally spoiled me this Valentine's Day... No, girlies, no diamond ring - yet. *SIGH* And that's a big *SIGH*. I'll do it again, *SIGH*

I had Friday off and was treated to a delivered package - A bamboo heart plant!!! It's soooo pretty and it goes fantastic with my living room decor.

It even came with the vase and some black rocks.

On Saturday I was treated to another delivered package - a bouquet of red tulips and purple irises in a beautiful red vase.

It came with a box of chocolates and a stuffed teddy bear! Biggie decided he wanted to bear and has been chewing on it. He's not a nice cat. ;)

My gift to Joey was a fancy dinner out at Christian Michaels - a really nice restaurant here in Chico. We had a beautiful window seat and had a romatic candlelit dinner.

Joey had to work in the morning on Sunday so we decided to make a special dinner at home when he got home. We made heart pancakes!!! Wait, I made heart pancakes. Joey decided he only likes round pancakes. Here is my creation. I did it all freehand - I was super excited with my talent!

I'm so lucky to have Joey in my life... Even luckier to be spoiled by him!!! Haha!

Valentine's Day.

Well, it's that time of the year again... Where the card, candy, stuffed animal, etc. companies collect hundreds of millions of dollars from smitten men and women trying to show their "like you a lot" or "love" feelings to their significant other.

Even though I don't support these companies taking advantage of us... I sure hope Joe bought me something fancy! :)

I'm a Grad Student!

As of yesterday afternoon, I passed my math and English assessment tests and became an offical Grad student!

I am taking the MBA program with a concentration in General Management. I start March 1st with the online school at DeVry University. My first online school, so I'm a little nervous, but so excited to be back in school!

So wish me luck... I will need it.

Bbbooooorrrrrreeeeeeeedddddddddddddddddd.....

I can't take it anymore... I'm at work and I don't want to be... Help me................

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S

Last summer Joe and I bartended my friend's wedding and decided to use our earnings for a nice New Year's getaway... Since booking a cruise seemed to be more effort than what we wanted to do - We decided on Fort Bragg. Joe found Ocean View Lodge, a place with a view of the ocean and if we left the door open, we could hear the waves crashing against the rocks. We even received a complimentary bottle of champagne!

The first evening we were there we went for a walk. There is a path in the back of the hotel that leads into town. We also went exploring down the cliffs and climbed around on the rocks. On Thursday we were able to get a table at Eggheads - a delicious breakfast diner! OH MY GOSH!!! Everytime I went to Fort Bragg there was always a long line and I never had the patience to wait... But this time we were able to get a table right away. The food is delicious - and I don't really like breakfast food. It was so good that we went the next day! Anyway... We ate breakfast then went exploring through town and checked out all the little cute shops. We drove out to the Lighthouse and walked some paths around those cliffs. Then we went to Mendocino and walked around there for a little bit.

We ate dinner at a great sushi restaurant and ended 2009 at a party at The Cliffhouse restaurant. The party was very low-key (which is not what we totally expected)... When we called the night before, they "strongly recommended" that we make reservations for the party if we wanted a window table - so I did. That night, only 14 people showed up for the party! There was a great DJ, our tickets included two drinks, appetizers, and a champagne toast, but it was missing the crowd. But we still had a great time together - that's all that mattered right?!?! Being with each other for the New Year.

Friday we went exploring on North Highway 1. We found a lot of different coastal accesses and climbed around on the rocks and cliffs. The road was winding though!

This was one of the beaches we found along Highway 1.

Climbed around on these rocks.

The ocean was beautiful!

I like the shadow look of this picture.

This was out at the Lighthouse!

And this was on Jughandle beach.

And this was at our awesome party!

Check out that butt!

I absolutely LOVE Fort Bragg. Everytime I drive out there I immediately feel relaxed and get the urge to explore! I'm so grateful the weather was perfect and the company was spectacular!
