AHHHHHH!!!!

Last night I came home from my parent's house and walked into my bedroo, flipped the light switch and went to close the blinds when I saw the hugest bug I've ever seen in my life (not caged at the zoo or something). Seriously, my heart hit the ceiling and came back down as I immediatly spun and walked quickly out of the room. It was about 1 1/2 inches long and had antenna's about the same length and it was FAT. So I stood at the bedroom/hall doorway watching it and called Matt...twice...he wasn't answering!! MICHAEL!!!! I called Michael and he answered and turns out Matt was there, his phone just wasn't ringing. As I was calling the bug crawled away from the window sill and behind the curtains into the dark (I had left the light on). After 5 minutes of Matt and Michael laughing at my panic and my insisting that unless one of them came and killed it I would pack up and sleep at their house, Matt came over. Turns out it was a cockroach (the biggest I've ever seen) and probably came in under the bathroom counter (where the termites have been coming in). Matt killed it (he said it was fast...think if I had tried to do it myself!!) and I was a tiny bit paranoid even this morning, but I think it was the only one. I went down to the office and told them that the gap underneath my bathroom counter needs to be closed up because termites and cockroaches are coming in, so hopefully that'll be taken care of soon. I was planning on taking a picture of it but in my relief that Matt got there to kill it I forgot to before he flushed it.

I can't wait till I'm married and don't have to wait the agonizing 15 mintues for Matt to come kill a bug for me :)

Some pictures from this past weekend

This past weekend was fun, but far from relaxing!

Friday we had the Young Adults 2nd Annual Pumpking Carving Contest. My pumpking got 2nd place but it got left in a car and got all fuzzy...I threw it out. Here are some pictures...

Mary & Jessica's cowboyriding a bull

The whole gang!

Me & my pumpkin

Lily & Kaylin had a blast playing together

You can check out http://ghfcyoungadults.blogspot.com/ and my facebook for more pictures.



Saturday was my sister Chelsea's 16th birthday party. We had a Mystery in the Library murder mystery party. I was Snow White, Matt was Huck Finn...etc. Here are some of the fun pictures. Again, check out my facebook for the rest!

Matt as Huck Finn & Austin as Tom Sawyer

Playing with the settings on my new camera

Snow White & Cinderella

Someday my prince will come, for now I'm going with Dracula!

Joan of Arc, Mrs. Elinor Ferrars, Snow White & Alice

And last but not least, my new favorite photograph ever and our attempt to replicate it. It's called Il Bacio by Furman Baldwin and we saw it on the wall at Red Robin and immediately Jess and I knew it was us! :) Michael found it online and we decided to try and recreate it...I think we'll try again sometime NOT in costumes :)

I GOT MY CAMERA!

I'm so excited! Here's the rest of our apartment.

The kitchen from the dining area

So you can see the whole thing

In the kitchen looking towards the living room



The dining area...we have yet to get a table and chairs



The bedroom from the inside

The bedroom from the doorway from the hall

Just inside the door

From the head of the bed, those are my lovely (too short) curtains. The bed will eventually be moved to right under the window but we need to get a headboard first for a reason that's too complicated to explain now.

My desk; eventually we'll paint it black. Oh, and all the stuff on the right isn't junk, it's all my scrapbooking supplies.

(Not very good) pictures of the apartment

So until I get my new camera in the mail, these pictures will have to do. They are only of the bathroom and living room because the other rooms were way too mess to take pictures of :)

The bathroom towards the mirror so you can see all 3 walls.

This is my sink, and all my stuff...I need to get a medicine cabinet for that wall right there on the left.

This is in the living room, taken from inside the front door. The doorway to the left is the hallway to the bathroom straight ahead and the bedroom to the right. Our little baby TV looks so pathetic.

This is taken from the hallway towards the front door. On the left is the bar into the kitchen and the dining area. All those boxes and bags are finally gone! :)

Taken from the same spot, just to show you my beautiful couch o.O

And this is one of my dear little termite friends. I usually find them dead like this one on the bathroom floor or in the bedroom and hallway. They seem to have left but I'm still a bit paranoid.

Splashes, Aliso Beach Park, Butt-less Chaps & Mission San Jan Capistrano

Last Saturday Matt took me to an amazing restaurant (location wise, not food wise) called Splashes in Laguna Beach at the Sand'n'Surf Resort.

Yay! An actual picture of us together!

It was gorgeous...you couldn't be any closer to the water without being in it! Right where the sand ends in the pictures is the glass wall we were sitting against.

Matt got some seafood pasta and I got a chicken sandwich thing. The fries were probably the best part (bleck on the homemade ketchup though). Oh, and the mini condiment jars that I stole when we left :)

Then we headed down PCH and found Aliso Beach Park (I'd been there once before with friends) and walked down to a more secluded beach.

Matt started drawing hearts and we ended up having a heart drawing contest. This was his first heart that got the whole thing started.

After trying do add our initials with his first, he nixed that idea and put mine first. I can just imagine someone coming across a heard with "ME" written in the center :)

His final product (it took quite a while).

My final product (you be the judge!)

Then he decided to try taking some self-shot pictures of us kissing since I always complain that we never have pictures of us and Jess can't take a kissing picture of us to save her life :)

We then headed further down PCH to San Juan Capistrano. It's been years since we've been to the Mission there. We went once with school when we were quite young so we thought it'd be fun to go back.

Before we got to the Mission we walked around the town and went into this awesome antique warehouse place. We find these butt-less chaps and just had to take a picture!

This is the chapel that was brought down by an earthquake in the middle of a Sunday mass killing quite a few indians. The dome you see was the center and it had wings to the right and left and down the center (forming a T-shape).

More pictures of the chapel. Notice the people and how large the dome is in comparison.

The Mission's bells. Mission life centered around these bells and when they rang. The two large bells cracked and they were taken down and preserved after exact replicas are made. The bells still ring daily.

The bells from the other side, there was a little courtyard and to the left was a large room that appeared to be for storage.

Despite being sick I had so much fun. I was exhausted once we finally headed home but it was well worth it.
