Thanksgiving 2010

We weren't able to celebrate on Thanksgiving because Kristin and I had a food tasting with a couple that was in town for their April 2011 wedding. We celebrated on Friday with friends and it was soo much fun! Still the same feeling of eating too much and enjoying family and friends for the evening.


I'll let the pictures tell the story.

After dessert, we all rested our bellies and then we cracked out the Wii! Watch out family, I have practiced my bowling skills yet again for the annual Christmas tournament! :)

The girls thought it was soo much fun to cheer on Eduardo!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving Everyone!

2010 Halloween Events

This year Halloween was soo much fun! I really didn't plan on a costume for the "adult" part of the weekend, but with the help of my creatively talented cousin we were able to throw something together really fast! Literally - two hours and it was DONE! I had the "face" planned. I bought false eyelashes and some glitter details to add to my face. It was fun pulling the details together and I was really looking forward to hanging out with my friends and having a FIRST adult halloween experience in Vallarta!

Here's how the night played out! First, some assistance from my family pulling the details of the "costume" together.

My gal pals - Marisol and Andrea!!

Even the spider (he was the mascot for the evening) was thirsty!

The evening after we celebrated and went trick or treating! This year we tried out the Boardwalk in the Marina. SOOOO much more enjoyable this year! You could walk and didn't feel like you were going to get trampled by anyone!

We met up with Doryan, Nesto, Melany and Chloe.

This is where the rich people store their fancy boats....

Soph's costume turned out sooo cute!!

She finally got excited!!!

Some other children came out a bit later!

Pablo, Kristin and Baby #2:

The whole group:

Look at what I bought!! (haahaa - only in my dreams) - BUT, I did put it on my list for Santa!

We found a pretty cool restaurant to grab a quick bite!

And to wrap up this blog post a quick video of Sophia on her Halloween!

New Friends

For 3 1/2 years now since I've started this wonderful and exciting Journey - I've really been missing one thing....Friends! Yes, I have my wonderful Crawford-Vargas Family and I have wonderful furry companion - and I have some really great friends that I work with, but in the wedding biz it's really hard to get schedules together to hang out.

I've been given an opportunity this Summer by a gal that took it upon herself to create a group called "Ex-Pats - Younger Generation. The first outing was a bowling activity in which I met a group of great individuals!

I really hit it off with an adorable couple - Sean & Marisol! It has been a great time hanging out with them since late August.

We have fun hanging out and I really enjoy their company. Our first get together - I was invited to their cute apartment for dinner.

Drank some wine and played the Mexican version of Jenga.

Before heading out - Marisol & I

Sean showing us his Jenga skills!

Then we got together and ripped up Puerto Vallarta together a few weeks ago!

Don't know what was going on with my camera - but I must have had it set on a weird setting.

UGH - it was HOT!

The owner of Twisted Palms - Alan and I.

Then, this just this last weekend we got together for dinner at Joe Jack's Fish Shack where I had my first Ginger Mojito - and was it YUMMY! The little mermaid in the photo was hanging off my mojito - it was soo cute!

We then headed over to Twisted Palms for some yummy Martini's.

Perfect opp for a group foto! Like Marisol said - The Three Musketeers! Couldn't have said it better!

We headed over to one of my new favorite joints for some dancing - Roxy's!!!

And finally a picture of my new friends - Marisol and Sean!

And for an update on Luna. She is healing really well. Took her to the vet this past Saturday and Dr. Pena said she is healing as to be expected. I don't have to take her back now for another checkup until January. She's really starting to act like herself - jumping around and acting crazy! Ijust picked up from the vet some cute little flower thingees (gosh - not sure what to call them) but this local company that helps orphaned animals. Here's a few photos of my lovely furry companion - LUNA!

Until next time - Love and Miss you all!!
