Happy New Years!

Happiest New Years Maxi!!! Even though we only got to be together a few times this year, every second I spent with you was the most incredible!! You're always worth the wait, and I cannot wait to be with you every possible second for the rest of our lives. I love you, and this next year will be our best yet! Promise!

Balboa Nights!

Natcha, Angie & I headed down to Balboa because I wanted to test out new camera skills & the lens you got me! Some of these aren't the best quality because I had to decrease the file size to upload it to this site. You can get a main idea though! =)

This was my favorite place to take pictures of for the night!

Even got a few stars in there!! (Like 2.. haha)

Practicing with light trails! Got the freeway alright, I can do better. Need to stabilize a bit better, but hey I caught a plane coming in to land! :D

Angie hah, cute little shop we found

Natcha & my usual haha

I successfully parallel parked!

So we got to Ghirardelli and were pretty excited, but in line Angie told us she doesn't like that.. so we went to Extraordinary Desserts instead.

I really wanted that oatmeal cookie ice cream like Chau had!! It wasn't on their menu for tonight, so instead we had Roasted Strawberry Buttermilk in a hot fudge sundae, and it was glorious.

The end, and I love you!

Friendsie Christmas!

Started the morning with Ruby cuddles, cause it makes me happy

Then she fell asleep on me and I was oh so happy!

Sleeping selfies, this is a new one hahahah. God I died she was so cute!

Lumber Jacks

This right here is the tastiest stuff in the world, you don't know it yet- but believe me it is! It's Auntie Linda's incredibly famous raspberry jam that she makes from scratch. They are like the most coveted item in the family when she comes down, and guess what?! Now that we're married she made a jar specifically for us!! I felt so lucky! Mom wouldn't admit it at first cause I know she totally wanted to keep it for them lol, but Aunt Linda made sure we (I really) got one. We can't ship them because they'll rot, but she said that when we're together again she will make sure she brings and makes more for us to have. Yay, go us! It's a pretty big

Chopping wood to last the next two years!

I woke up feeling super sick and a sore throat, so I got out of the wood chopping and supervised Ruby right here. I LOVED IT.

I found her a nice stick.

She was pretty enamored with this cup lol, she had knocked it over behind her and just kept moving it.

The process on video yo.

Ruby and I walked over to the pool, it seemed nice but was still pretty cold.

All tuckered out.

Auntie Linda sharing her water break with Ruby

ALL DONE!!

In the last round I had fallen asleep with Ruby in the grass, so Aunt Linda got a picture for me haha

Chili lunch break!

Ruby fell asleep on Auntie Linda's foot with her tongue out haha

Ruby being a crazy little pup

Ruby cuddles are my favorite second to yours!!

Ruby & her new yard friends.

So Aunt Linda bought her a pack of socks & tied them for her to chew on, and we later realized that Ruby has hoarded them all under the Christmas tree. She's going to be so sad once that tree is gone hahaha

Laken's cat Bella giving me the stare down, I think she is jealous and suspicious of Ruby

Using Swedish napkins cause we can, and because Ingrid keeps buying them

It's a little dark, but Ruby all cuddled up close!

Fell asleep on me upside down so her mouth looked funny

Still slumbering 

The end, a perfect puppy ending!
