Evening Walks

Evening walks are one of my favorite family outings. That's all for now.

city fest.

City Fest was today. We walked around, did some shopping, had a drink, and ate some yummy food. Of course I took some pictures...

Did you and your friends wear sofee shorts in high school? My friends and I had a pair in every color but always rolled the tops down to make them shorter. I bought some the other day to exercise in and realized that they're actually kind of cute. The best part- they're only $6.99! So sweet :)

date night.

I know in my last post I said I would be back with something interesting. Then I disappeared (oops). I have a good reason, I promise. Two babies were born this week! Yay! My sister-in-law had a baby girl and my cousin's wife had a little boy. Yesterday, we got to meet our little niece. She's perfect and looks just like her big sister (who is so so so excited!) ♥

I have a DIY/ Project ReStyle post coming up, but I wanted to share a little something for the time being. Here's a couple of pictures from the other night:

The other night we decided to walk down to Babycakes for cupcakes and a glass of wine. One of our favorite things about where we live is that we can walk anywhere from our house- the grocery store, movie theater, restaurants, book shops, thrift stores, etc. It's especially great on the weekends when parking is horrendous.

I wore my new necklace from the shop and took this little black clutch. I have been using this clutch about everyday now. It was a gift from a sweet friend who brought me all kinds of wearable and craft goodies. (Thanks, Becky!)

That was such a fun night. Our walk was enjoyable, our drinks weren't too spendy, and we had lots of great conversations. To me those dates are always the best- when I can remember those good talks. What' makes a date memorable to you?

A Morning Walk

We're back from San Francisco and getting back into work life. Bleh.

Our little vacation was so much fun. I'm so grateful that Philip planned this trip. I really enjoyed my birthday and time away with him. I'm still sorting through pictures to share.

These pictures are from one of our Sunday morning walks. We live in the city so we really enjoy the trails around Balboa Park. This is where we usually go with Patrick.

That's what I love about Sundays.

Yes, I DID just quote a country song. Don't judge- It's such a happy song!

I'm going to try and make this a weekly post. I have Sundays off of work, so that's my only full day off with Philip. We try to reserve that day for just the two of us. It's also a good excuse for me to take more pictures and blog about my life (not just things I find online).

Yesterday, I went to Thread with Kaitlyn. I am sad to say that neither one of us took any pictures (ooh...bad bloggers). We did have loads of fun though. As soon as we got there, we talked about buying things for other people. Kaitlyn managed to do just that AND talk me into buying things for myself. It's not her fault though, I'm easy to convince ;)

After a day of eating and shopping, Philip and I had he rest of the day together. Now, I know it's technically fall, but we are in San Diego. This is a city that loves to skip summer, go straight into fall, and get everyone all upset that we didn't get our beach time. Then once everyone gets cozy and ready for the fall weather, here comes the santa anas! Yep, it's blazing hot here this weekend! Hotter than any summer day we had this year, that's for sure. It's kind of scary- we usually have fires all over the county during September and October.

Anyway, with the heat, Philip and I decided it would be a good idea to go on a walk. (Our house feels like an oven right now and we dont have AC). We walked around Hillcrest for a while, then decided to go to the Tractor Room for a drink and appetizer before his show.

We had never been there and really enjoyed it. The food was good and the drinks were STRONG! yikes! good thing we were walking ;) We each just had one and decided to stop there. haha.

We walked home and expected to get ready for the Longstay show that night, but it didn't work out. That's ok! We spent the rest of the night crafting and watching Modern Family (our new favorite show!)

I started AND finished something all in one sitting...AMAZING!
