November 2016 in review (Brandon's Birthday Month)

This is November in review :) it is still Scorpio season :) 
I can't believe it is almost the end of another yar, time just keeps on flying bye.  
As most of you know I have this new LOVE to cook. attitude  Which is pleasing to both me and the hubby :) So Ive been trying to be a little healthier SO I tried this taco salad.  It was SO good :) 

 Then the first weekend of the month we had to head down to San Diego like we always do :) it is a tradition :) Timeshares are a sucker for some people, but thankfully we bought ours at the right time, and they always try to get us to upgrade but we haven't.  We just attend the seminars to get free stuff and learn about new stuff.  Like the option we learned about last time the bonus points/bucks we've had it for SO long and did know about it :S We have had the timeshare for SO long. and just have been using it the way we are supposed to, to our benefit alone has been the last 4-5 years, and it has been SO nice :)  We hit up a few spots in gas lamp and found this one place we LOVE & they had the best french fries.  Flethy fries with pot roast, we had some & I was in heaven with them :)
San Diego Guild Festival
The gaslamp also had some black lives matters events going on that we were able to partake in.  It was SO cool :)


Then when after spending the night in San Diego we had to head home to set up for the game of the year.  The Raiders vs. Broncos.  We SO had a silver & black get together & had a great turn out & a GREAT time :) it was so much fun :) we had a house full of people :) Brandon hooked up some yummy tri-tip and vegeteables that I seasoned and potatoe salad, and of course brownies for dessert.  I LOVE Costco.  The man cave banner you see my parents gave to Brandon for his birthday :) its a sweat banner.  It SO fits in the man cave :) Im SO glad we got into that Bronco ass :) We had a good turn out and a good result and we are only half way through the season leading our division :) More games will see us this year.  We are SO grateful that we are in a position to continue to enjoy the things we do :) We are already talking about several games that may see us in the near future.

Then the following weekend we attended a family wedding in Newport.  It was a gorgeous wedding only draw back was that it was on a Sunday, but we dealt with it :)

I actually got all but but got COLD like I always do :S

Thing got hectic for me and I didn't updaate my blog weekly like I usually do so I had to use my memory :S We where more then halfway through the month and headed to Sharkeys in Newport Beach for a friends birthday.
The best of the best of people were in attendance for Shaniekas birthday :) 
it was GREAT seeing everyone and catching up with everyone :) 

Then the Raiders had a BIG Monday night football game :) So we headed to BWW with some friends and had a GREAT time :) The Raiders won the game and are still leading the division :) It was another GREAT experience :) We need to get together with people more often :) 

Then before we knew it the Holidays hit :S Like, we do most years we went to my parents house and had a fest over there :) Its hard to make a bunch of food and then transport it but well worth it :) 

Then that Friday we caught a flight to San Francisco and spent the rest of the weekend up there in union square :) We have returned up north since my injury and this was our first time staying up there.  Like always we had a GREAT time.  So thankful we got to experience this with GREAT friends :) We went all out for this game and lived the catered, Suite life :) it was perfect :) I'm beyond grateful and thankful that we get to still experience this stuff.  We are still debating other games as well :S The following is a load  of pictures from the weekend :) 
This guy totally enjoyed his tailgatting experience :) 
 Thankfully using the BART was not to hard :) got from point A to B and back without a problem
 Game time :) Suite Shot :)

I couldn't hit up San Francisco and not go to Fishermans Wharf and get me a bowl of Clam Chowder.  The weather up north was perfect fro a nice warm bowl of soup :) 

Union square was all decked out with the christmas lights 

We got to do so much and experience so much in a weekend.  It was a GREAT trip but nothing beats being back home.  Now its time for me to get Christmas ready :S #So not looking forward to it :S not that I'm a grinch just don't know anything these days :S my xmas tree may be empty :S #thisxmasSUCKS

Stay blessed people I hope everyone had a GREAT thanksgiving and all are looking forward to Christmas :)
