As I hear the trickle of rain drops out my window...

I am reminded today:
And that Fall is on its way!

A Lazy Day

The Gang was All Here!

From Thursday to Thursday I had 3 loves crashing in my apartment here in San Diego to visit this incredible city as well as Marisa and I. These girls don't mess around and so to make the best of their week here in San Diego we got right down to business...

And we tore San Diego apart:

We celebrated 3 birthdays.

We went to Wine Steals.

We went to Extraordinary Desserts.

Nails were done

and coffee (lots!) was had.

We laid in the sun,

Soaked up the sun,

and have lasting color (some good and some bad) to prove the sun.

We went hiking.

We went to LA.

We ate out A LOT (my fav).

We got feathers.

We saw the sights: La Jolla, Encinitas, Gas Lamp, Little Italy, Ocean Beach, Coronado, North Park, Mission Valley, and Mission Beach.

We had late nights

and early mornings.

And most importantly we laughed as we all do so well... A LOT!

Thanks girls for visiting! Now it's time to plan the next adventure... Perhaps Italy?

Feathers

Apparently I can be artsy

and look like a hipster.

Or maybe I'm a hippie?

Who knew?

"Like mother, like daughter."

Call me a "foodie"

The Hash House is by far my absolute favorite place to go for breakfast.

Every single thing on the menu is DIVINE and the portions are out of this world.

With Rachelle, Stephanie, and Jill in town I had the perfect excuse to make a much needed appearance at this favorite spot.

To defeat the portions Stephanie and I shared this bad girl.

This bad girl is a "Blackberry Granola Pancake" from The Hash House.

Needless to say... we didn't like her at all. :)

My Friends Have Come!

In all our glory here we are...

Good morning!

Stephanie is here!

A Season Like No Other

Some call it "student teaching",

We call it teacher boot camp.

A season like NO other.

One of the best

and one of the hardest

times of my life.
