yay! pictures!

i know it has been long since over due!! a picture update of the things happening in my life! If it didn't take twelve years to load pictures onto this computer i definitely would have uploaded a few more, but enjoy!!

last night me, jen, lexy, seana, gwen and erin went out for girls night! first jen and i enjoyed some delicious italian food before the girls drove down from LE. it was so yummy and the conversation was great! jen is such a wonderful friend and i am so glad that she is in my life i mean really, look at that sweet face (below)... once the girls arrived we went to the movie theater in ocean side for some Dear John! i must say, i was sadly disappointed, i guess maybe i don't have much of a soft spot in my heart for women who aren't willing to fight to the end for their men... so dear john, thumbs down. boooooo!

we had a photo session in the crazy cut outs, then headed to In N Out for some mid night snacking!! it was fun, or "youthful" hanging out with all of those girls! oh, to be able to stay up until 2am without a care in the world, no work, no bills, no nothin! ha. but really it was a fun night!

last weekend jeff and i FINALLY had a day off together!! we woke up on Sunday, got dressed and headed down to the beach where we ate breakfast at the bagel shack! so yummy, melt in your mouth my goodness i love a swiss bagel!!! then we walked around this out door market they were having, we sat by the beach and enjoyed the amazing weather!!! then we headed back over the ortega, but stopped because jeff wanted to show me the "ponds" i have always heard of them but have never seen them! it was pretty awesome, and with the recent rain, they were flowing! we climbed around a bit, jeff of course had to go climb the huge bridge... oh my husband lives for a good adventure! after we got home we gathered up our pup and took him for a stroll around the outlet! he really is a show stopper and he really doesn't mind all of the attention! he behaved so well too! Jeff did a really good job training the little rascal!

we are getting so excited as we prepare for our journey to Seattle!!! we love to explore together, and I'm sure the ponds have nothing on Seattle and what it has to offer our adventurous sides!

look there he is climbing.... we were trying to figure out how all of those gangsters tag all over that bridge, looks like you would definitely need some sort of harness??? hahaha my gangsta skills... ZERO (well, besides booty shakin!)

my brother Jacob, had his explorer awards recently! i was just so proud of him, i got to watch him do his little check thing where they inspect his uniform and how he is standing and all that jazz, then we watched him get his awards!! he got a promotion in rank too, now he is EXPLORER SERGENT DRABEK! i was just so tickled! all of my brothers and sisters are getting so OLD! jacob and seana both got their drivers license!! look out people on the road!! lexy is turning 20 this year! sean is hitting the double digits, taylor is so tall and has arm pit hair!! what the heck!!!! i really love all of them so much and am so proud to be their sister!

my dad finally took me on my birthday date! (with flowers) good job dad! it was really fun, we went to cosi because I just LOVE it!!! my dad, well not so much, i think he would have rather had a huge burrito or something, but none the less, his little appetizer sandwich was good! We had a good time, laughing and talking! i really enjoy spending time with my dad, and wish we did it more often.

with jeff and i so stoked on moving we are in SELLING MODE! this is jeff manning the yard sell we double whammied with Jenni! it was a SUCCESS! we totally got ran sacked by all of the early bird yard sellers! we made 300 bucks! we sold a vacuum, a snow board, snow boarding boots, and now our bed! good bye california king, hello two twins pushed together!!! hahahahahahha i was thinking bunk beds, but jeff wont go for it!

its ok, we have had a lot of "things" but no things are worth anything more then my marriage! and having a tight relationship with my husband, I'm looking forward to starting new & fresh! who needs stuff anyways right?!

i seriously love these girls! jen and i went ot listen to caty play with tiffany and aaron a couple weeks ago, they did so GOOD!!! caty has so much talent, and i was just so taken back! all of these secret things i didn't know! both of them can make me laugh until i pee, cry and pass gas! its seriously an ab work out any time we hang out together!

research is our number 1 game right now! we went to B&N to research seattle, we sat with tons of books, getting so excited for all of the things we want to do and see! i love this about my husband, its a double edge sword! he really has to research and know as much as he possibly can about something before he does it! he looks at apartments, searches for jobs, looks for things to do, places to see, EVERYTHING about seattle. calculating always the cost, writing things down, printing things out, making phone calls all the time! i love it because i know that we will be fine, he is a good leader and i feel safe following him, but sometimes i just want to spend time with HIM minus the computer/phone/calculator/printer/book... but really he is pretty amazing, and i love him so much!

hello Seattle! we are coming for you!!!!

I might have a job offered to me in the beginning of April, please pray for God's will and timing for our move up to Seattle!

life is good, and i am so thankful for so much! God's promises are true and i have never believe that more now!!

xoxo
