August 2016 in Review

This is such a HUGE month for me on so many levels :) First of all I have to give all the glory and praise to god for this 2nd chance at life he has given me.  I am blessed beyond words and SO grateful for it :)

We started of this month not doing much but then we got busy real quick.  We had our friend Eds birthday to go to on Friday the 5th.  So we hung out all night over there :) Happy Birthday Edward.  Mostly everyone knows him as Draws :)

Then the next day I had to go with my dad to John Wayne airport to drop my mom off.  She was going to Texas again solo to go see and help out with the kids.  It was the first time anyone has flown out of that airport so I went with my dad to get familiar with the airport.  I had Peanut stay at their house for the weekend cause we were off to Palm Springs.  It was a last minute trip that we were able to book through our timeshare thankfully :) and the timing of this trip couldn't have come at a better time :) It was the weekend of my 5 year anniversary of life again :) We had a GREAT time in Palm Springs, hanging out pool side and going out to play chess and smoke a cigar and have a steak dinner.  We LOVE going out there, and throughly enjoyed the BUZZ bus :) we did't have to worry about driving :) I was an emotional wreck all weekend :S As, I sat back and thought about where I was 5 years ago and where I am at today it is amazing, god is real and I am proof .  I am a  blessing, as he gave me a 2nd chance at life.  In the process SO many things could have gone wrong but they haven't thankfully :) People view me as a miracle and I agree but I just like to use the terminology of being a blessing :) I am gods blessing and will continue to push and move forward.  #BLESSED

Then that Monday we had to come back to reality :S I called my Dad because I wanted to go pick up my princess but he left her spoiled ASS in the house because she didn't get up with him in the morning LOL spoiled BITCH would not have it any other way :) She is SO spoiled :) I need to take her to Lazy Dogs again :) then we just continued on with the week.  We had another A/C quote this week so I know it coming but when I don't know :S and, I have been without a fridge for about 2 weeks :S at first I was ok but really this is for the dogs :S

 Buzz stop :) 

a night out with my LOVE :)

Pushing forward with the month we went to Culver City for a hang out to celebrate my best friends birthday :) There we got the thrill of a life time :) she is expecting :) I am beyond thrilled for her :) keep the kids coming :)

Then the next day we went out for our friends/families 16 year wedding anniversary :) Never been to this spot at Victoria Gardens but it was GREAT :)

and then we had this little angel come home to visit.  We had a girls night out in Brea with this little prince where I got to shock him up :)

Then the following week I went out to lunch several times with everyone :) My two most memorable ones are with my friend Natasha.  #somefriendshipsneverchange:)  & then the hubby & I decided to try the Royal Cut out :) I had a coupon :) I don't do anything these days without a coupon :) then another day we went to Black Angus :) his favorite spot :) 

The Black Angus deals are SUPER :) #HappyHour:)

This month has been extremely eventful :) at the end of the month we decided to do back to back river/lake trips :S which is something we never do but, because we didn't do any trips last month and it was the end of the summer we decided to go for it and just do it :) Our first trip was to Laughlin with friends & as always we had a GREAT time there :) we had a rock stuck in the jet ski that we were able to get out so its running fine and the hubby was finally able to fix the fridge :) That was a HUGE relief :) we thankfully didn't have to buy a new fridge :) #patiance&procrastinationpaysoff:)

Then the following weekend we toke off to Parker AZ :) we had family visiting so we planned our camping trip around that & I had not taken our god sons birthday into account so we had to miss his 3rd birthday party, and I was SO bummed :S We had a GREAT time at the river though :) we LOVE Parker :) it is always so much fun :) We had family go with us and a few friends with their toys :) its always fun with friends and so much better when they have their own toys that they are responsible for :) 

Parker AZ #Campingadventures:)

Since we had family here allowed we did a couple of things :) but I did;t take pictures :S which I always do, SO I'm bummed :S we did local wine tasting, went shopping, did a taco Tuesday hop that I think we created, and we had a blast :) 

family & I

Taco Tuesday

Family was here for a week and the whole time they were here Brandon was turned up LOL then they left and he crashed LOL well see if he turns it up again next month :) I think he will :) SO even though we didn't do much in  July we were still busy and were able to end the summer with a bang :) i'm kind of sad the summer is over but I'm SO ready for this heat to leave :S I hope everyone has had a good summer cause like I said even though we didn't do a whole lot it was still GREAT 

stay blessed people :)
