Better days

So overwhelmed with everything I need to do. To be frank, I really don't know where to start. Really wish you were here to help. Nothing is as fun without you. When you're around even the most tedious and mundane tasks become fun.
I don't care to reminisce on the bad times- the future moves forward; ours to write.

parte due

So as it turns out, I don't have that many photos to share from the huge party Lagos Jump threw for Goretti & I at their beautiful home in Altadena. What a shame.

The band set up on the staircase, not pictured is Andrew, who was bangin on the bongos & groovin on the stairs above Jeff ( the bassist on the left)




All in all a super rad night. So many people that I hadn't seen in forever came out to party! The only draw back was being hungover the next day @ the Dodger game I went to with my Dad & older brother....but the Dodgers won so it didn't even matter ♥

il mio compleanno; parte una

My darling friend Goretti and I happen to share birthdays. We were both born on the 10th of July- she in 78' and I in 87' ♡ This year we decided to combine forces have 2 parties, double the births, double the fun! N'est pas? ☺

This drink was an early morning drunken concoction by Rene made up of: Svedka vodka, natural cranberry concentrate, ginger ale, fresh raspberries and lime wedges.
It was magical! Not bad for off the cuff! Not bad AT ALL...I love how the sky looks so bright- it was near dawn !

Liz, my cousin, was gracious enough to not only fly in from San Antonio, TX to grace us with her presence but went above and beyond and made us a 5 star, award winning cake!

Liz blew us all away when she busted out these 3 little miracles. Lemon curd tarts w/meringue and raspberries for anyone unfortunate enough to not adore chocolate!!!

Honestly, not to be emo or anything but this night was part one of the best weekends of my life. Amazing company, food, music, ambiance, everything. So so perfect. Truly left me smiling from ear to ear and feeling so very blessed to have such wonderful friends, family.
Stay tuned for part 2, it was the perfect sequel to the dinner party- a party in an enormous and historic house in Pasadena, filled with 100 of our closest friends, and the cherry on top of this magic sundae was residents of the house, the members of my new favorite band, Lagos Jump actually played a show!
