love is:

Albertson's cowboy cookies. Hikes with my Lach in thunderstorms. Sleeping in way too late. Being with my crazy fam bam. Sweet mother-in-laws who always look out for you. the anticipation of the future. Ingrid Michaelson. clean sheets. newly painted nails. My wedding ring. Being able to finally sleep in the same bed with my Cody. summer thunderstorms.

Weekend.

Friday:

We saw this:



Which was amazing. Christian Bale is so yummy. 


After, we met up with Tony & Wendy for half price appetizers at Applebee's. The Spinach Artichoke dip is out to get me. It won. Because I literally ate ALL of it. 


Saturday:

Cody had work..Boo. Lach and I slept in a little bit and then got up and cleaned and did dishes. Those two things can only be put off for so long..I was proud I even did them.

When Cody got home we went to go load up the Eclipse, "the racecar" and get in on the trailer for Vegas. What was supposed to take 10 minutes took 2 HOURS. Oh my hell. We were standing in 95+ degree weather WITH humidity trying to get the stupid thing on the trailer. I'm going to spare you the nitty gritty details but once Tony got there to help, all was well.

Since the boys went off to Vegas, Wendy, Aydee, & I had a girls night. We made yummy food, ate yummy cookies, and watched Beethoven. Remember that movie?


Sunday:

We slept til noon. So embarrassed to admit that, but it was SO nice to get to sleep in. Cody didn't get home til like 3 in the morn and I couldn't sleep without him there, so yeah. We was tired.


We went to my parents for a birthday BBQ for Cody..my Dad's famous hot wings, brats, hamburgers, fries, and fresh fruit. Yum-o. Had to make a stop by his parents too..and then home for the night.


It was a busy weekend, but oh so fun. Once my phone and camera are fixed, I promise I'll religiously upload photos. For now, this is what ya get.

Thomas Cody Randall


I know this post is late, but it being his bday yesterday we were busy with birthday things! And today, we're going to see The Dark Knight. SO EXCITED! 


23 random facts about mah boi. And things I love about him

1. Those eyes! Talk about blue. He got em from his mama. Shout out to Kristen
2. He is the ultimate handy man. He can fix anything. Which is so foreign to me because I grew up with my mom being the handy man. My pops isn't the greatest at making things work.
3. We are total opposites. Opposites attract :)
4. He is smart with his money and is uptight about saving..like I said, opposites attract!
5. He can't stay mad at me for longer than 5 minutes. Which is to my benefit of course :) If (haha I mean WHEN) we argue he always comes to me and tries to make me laugh. What a sweetie.
6. He is the king of mockery. He has me figured out. He can predict what I'm going to say and can mimic me word for word. Dialect and all. Go Cody.
7. He has the best sense of humor. It reminds me of my pops. He's always cracking a joke or referencing something he said to a joke. The kid thinks he's Dane Cook.
8. He has determination. He knows what he wants and he plans exactly how he's going to get it. Hence how he and I came to be. And boy am I thankful for that.
9. I love his beard/mustache/goatee/whatever you wanna call it..it works for him :)
10. He has the kindest heart. It is very rare for him to show it, but that heart is made of gold!
11. He loves his mom and sister. He is very protective of the both of them and I think it's so sweet.
12. He's all about cars, trucks, and anything mechanical. Or pretty much anything with a diesel engine..such as Timmy Riggins...aka his truck. Aka the biggest most annoying thing ever. jk. Kinda. Not really. He LOVES that thing. Like spends all his extra money on it. Talks about it 24/7. I joke that Timmy Riggins comes before me. He claims it doesn't..but I'm pretty sure it does. And as annoying as it is, it makes me happy to know that it's something he has a passion for, and loves doing.
13. Country Music. Boy oh boy. I was so anti anything involving country before I met him. He changed my ways..and I LOVE country music. He helped me discover my inner st.george-ean. My sisters loathe me for it.
14. He loves over-cast and rainy weather. As do I. Seattle may be in our future :)
15. Da Bears. His life would have no meaning without the Chicago Bears. Seriously. 
16. Anytime we're in the car his music is what's playing. He thinks I have horrible taste in music (so not true), so we listen to country or classic rock. He always plays the "I'll give you $50 if you can tell me who is singing right now" game. I never win. And it's always the same songs. I can't remember! 
17. He plans out everything. We have a calendar 6 months out saying what bills are due when. Ugh. So depressing.
18. Even though we are dirt poor (which I'm super sad about) he always reminds me of what we do have versus what we don't have. A good reminder.
19. He gets super jealous. I secretly love it.
20. He tells me all the time how horrible of a driver I am (I kind of really am), but he always wants me to drive. WTF? Haha. 
21.He always always always kisses me goodnight. It melts me everytime. And when I leave for work super early he always makes sure to tell me he loves me. He's not one to show affection so when he tells me and shows me he loves me, I take it whenever I can get it. 
22. He loves his gym time. The man lives there. Which is a good thing, I guess. I should be more like him in that sense. Ha. But seriously he knows so much about how the body works. And all of the physiology that goes along with too. Blows my mind.
23. He is mine, all mine :) 


Love you Cody Willis.

Been a minute since I've posted pics. Slacker-itis. 

All these pics were taken by the lovely, Malea Ellett, at Of My Affection photography. 
Guys, she is amazing. SO amazing. I love her.
Some were taken on phones of course, but I just thought I'd share some love. Cuz I know I have so many followers ;)

Enjoy.

























My best besties.

It's July?!

Yowza.

July already huh? I swear yesterday I was finishing up with last minute things for the wedding. Good thing that stress is over.
But alas, stress is never ending. In fact, once you're living together and have twice the amount of bills as before, your stress TRIPLES. Yup. It's true. Just ask me. Or look at me. I've been a hot mess for the past week. We figured out that no longer can I train with my 'therapy session' girls, but I also need to sell my car. No more kick-my-ass and vent-til-you-cry work out sessions, and definitely no more trips in the beloved Baja Accord. I won't know what to do with my life. I certainly had a good long cry on my bathroom floor last night. Lach licked the salty tears off my face and Cody let me sit in his lap. It was a sight to see.

ANYWAYS..

On to happier things.

Yesterday Cody and I rode down to Californ-i-a with Tony, Wendy & Aydee. Talk about adventure. Tony got a sexy new car and Wendy and I had 5+ hours of much needed girl talk. I love her. And Cody loves Tony. And we all love Aydee. So, it works out.

Also, yesterday was my bestie boo, Kami Gonzalez's birthday. I love her! She has been there through my psycho stages (still having them btw), and she somehow still wants to be my friend. Weird, I know. So, Happy Birthday to my love! We're going out to celebrate for cupcakes later this week.

Annie, Soph and my Momma have been in San Jose since Thursday for the gymastic Olympic Trials and it has been killing me. So jealous. I miss them ridiculous amounts and I'm jealous I can't be there with them. And seeing pictures of their beautiful faces doesn't help.

Oh, and I NEED to have instagram. <--- HAHA that makes me sound so old/lame/way too far behind on technology. But for realsies. The camera on my phone is broken and I'm too poor to buy another one. So, for now, I'll just have to instagram stalk from FB and Twitter. Lame-o.

I think that's enough for now. And being that my phone can't take pictures, I don't have any cool pictures to upload. How lame is this blog? Super. I know.

xoxoxo
