Not a killer quake!

"Strong quake shakes Southern California
The temblor measured 5.4 and was felt from
Los Angeles to San Diego."

WoW!!! What a horrible experience to be in an earthquake!! Yeah!... One where you can actually see the floor rolling and feel yourself swaying back and forth! My pharmacist and I were talking when all of the sudden I could hear the ceiling making crackling noises, and then what sounded like someones belly growling really loud! Chang looked at me with BIG eyes and said, "Is that an earthquake?"... then all of the sudden the floor right beneath our feet started to move!!! It was seriously like a rippling feeling! The shelves and lights began shaking and swaying back and forth! We just stood there clinging onto each other in unbelief! Actually!... we didn't even know what to do, or where to go! Hey!! Just another reason to have an evacuation plan set with family and loved ones! You never know when Mother Nature is going to create a disaster!!! I'm just relieved and thankful that Josh was ok and nobody was injured!.... Yeah, just a lil startled and in shock! But!... very grateful to be safe!!!

Take Me Out....

To the Ball Game!!

So, it's been a couple weeks now (since I'm a slacker!) but we went to a Dodger's Game with Mike and Jessica Christensen. We had a great time! It was exciting to be able to see a Major League team play! Josh even bought a couple "Dodger Dog's" just so we could say that we've had one! LOL! So, Yeah... we've eaten a Dodger hot dog! But!... I would rather have a Costco Dog over theirs anytime! :) Hey! But, remember!... I've had a Dodger Dog! That's all that matters! LOL! :) Ok! I about died when we went to about 5 different gates to get in but, you even had to be at the right gate number or they wouldn't let you enter! So, we got some good exercise since we had to walk clear around the other side of the stadium to our Gate!
The most important thing is that we enjoyed company and laughter with good friends! Got some great photos and had a "Dodger Dog!" We'll be back to enjoy another game in a few days!!! Yeay!!!! :)



Lil Brady, too interested in the Ball Game!

This is absolutely one of my favorite pastimes and a continuing tradition with my fabulous friends! I honestly look forward to this day!... it's like Christmas to me!!! :) We usually try to plan a day every few months or so when we can all fit our busy schedules together to see each other for an hour or two... sometimes three! :) Waiting for a couple months is totally worth it and I wouldn't trade it for the world!!!
Well, now that I'm in another state getting together is like enjoying my Christmas, Birthday and a little, well... Halloween early! LOL! It's the best gift and yet can be pretty scary when us ladies get together! Oh WOW!!!! Awe! I miss you gals already!! My lil heart just aches to see you again! Thank you for your amazing and unconditional love! I can honestly say that I have The Best Friends in the World!!!! We definitely missed those who weren't able to make it!!! Hopefully next time ladies! We'll try to plan a little better, okay?! Love ya!!! :)

LOVE....

This is what I call LOVE!... not just falling in the love with the photos!... But, sister/brotherly love! Bentley is not only a wonderful Big Sister! She is also such a natural beauty to take pictures of! I thoroughly enjoyed every second with the kids! It was a thrill to see family and enjoy some time with friends as well! We were so grateful for the visit although it was very short! We Love you guys! Miss you already!

Missing you!!!

Not only is it hard to leave your friends behind!... it's difficult to watch a dear friend leave you!
There have been very few friends that I have bonded so quickly with! Well, Becky and her lil' Addy were strangers that became my sweet, special friends in a matter of a day! Our husbands were like brothers! They had the same interests in life, sports, hobbies..... you name it, and they were in heaven! :) In fact we couldn't get them to zip the lips so we could get a word in! LOL! Becky and I decided that we must've been chillin' next to each other in the pre-existence!... just waiting in line chatting! Isn't it amazing how you meet someone and this feeling comes over you, then you think to yourself and say, "I know them from somewhere!" When we met at church, we both said that to each other! It was so strange! :)

Well, a change in life has brought them back to good ole Utah. Good thing they're not too far away! But, it might be unbearable for awhile with them gone! I'm really going to miss the Fisher's! You guys are amazing and will always be in our thoughts! No sneaking away!... Keep in touch!!! We Love You!!! :)
