AHHHHH..... I just had a fabulous massage. If you haven't experienced once, definatley do get a good one, pick a good massage therapist too alot of the experience hinges on that. It definatley gives you time to relax and reflect and destress.

I also made black bean bean soup and did a a little facebook catch up all in a days work.

I am definatly looking forward to our trip in Sept and I am definately wanting to plan a little trip on the 3 day weekend in Sept. My good friend Sarah is coming to visit as well in August so we are definatley going to be busy for a few weekends anyways. I guess with Sarah coming I can get a little motivation to clean my house deeply it has been a little while since that has happend. I have come to the conclusion that Alex and I are very messy just basically living. I guess that I'd rather do other things other than clean, the problem is I like living in a clean house so therin lies the dilema.

Ahh well I guess that is what I need a massage therapist, a maid and a cook. Any takers

Well I never finished my last post. I guess you all figured that out though. I really have no excuse so I won't bother trying to think of something.
We have been keeping busy here in the valley of the sun, keeping up with the day to day stuff, the stuff that life is made of, all those little moments that don't mean to much by themselves but when you add them up you see a whole week or year has gone by.
I celebrated another birthday last week. Wow I never felt old until 25 crept up on me. I know its not that old but somehow it is just surprising to think that is who I am for the next year. I am happy to have another birthday, don't get me wrong it is just 25.......
Alex my amazing husband made me birthday video that compiled the pictures and videos we had taken over the last couple of years and put it to music. He is so thoughtful. We tried a new Indian restaraunt to was really good. He also got me a massage so I'll be enjoying that next Tuesday mmmmmm.
Mom and Dad were also down the week before and got me a ice chest and some new duds. Thank you !!!! I really want to take the ice chest out for a break in episode you know really see what it is made of, kinda waiting on the weather to cool off. These last couple of weeks in August are such a killer.
I have noticed our house been invaded by these little tiny weevil like beetles and crickets. Last night Alex killed one and threw it at me, I screamed so loud the neighbors probably thought he had killed me. I found the little carcas again this morning and screamed again. I don't know why I am so jumpy maybe cause the little bugers jump at me. Haha
Besides the bug problem, today I cooked mushrooms and chicken and I have a pot left of potatoe leek soup soooo I figured that I'd make mashed potatoes and believe it or not it was a hit with the picky one. I also made me some spinich and potatoe dish for next week. I don't think the picky one will touch it cause it has to many potatoes in it..but mashed potatoes don't go figure, i know I can't figure it out.
Alex has been working so hard on his website it will be done this week Yeah!!! He has another person wanting him to make one for him. He is so excited about the extra money he'll be making. Good job babe!!!
Anyhow that is all for tonight

So we have arrived into the sweltering heat of July!!! Happy 4th everybody! I had told Mom that for Mothers Day/Birthday I would take her on a trip somewhere. So for some reason I picked Cambria California, the only time that seemed to work out for everyone was over the holiday weekend so I started getting reservation set up in June so we could get good deals on rentals ect. Anyhow we had a great time we left on Wednesday night to start heading over there since it is a little over 9 hours driving time, we spent the night in Barstow and then left bright and early the next morning (well not exactly bright and early we had to sleep in a little). I got to pass the job of navigator over to Mom and Dad and had instead squirmed around trying to get comfortable in my seat. it seems that somehow I had a pinched nerve or charley horse in my leg and it sure hurt! We stopped in San Luis Obisbo and looked at a old mission that was built back in the 1700's and wondered around the down town area then off again to Cambia, it was georgeos country beautiful wine vinyards all over the place and lots of rolling hills. We finally arrived and got settled in, when me and mom were unloading the car we missed dad's theatrics (he flipped a chair on top of himself) Alex of course had to re-enact the whole seen and it sounded pretty funny. We looked at all the pretty rocks on Moonstone beach which is one of the things that Cambria is famous for moonstones and then got to bed for a busy day .......I'll finish this post soon alex wants his computer back and the batchelor is on ;0)

Alex got me a pearl necklace for our anniversary isn't it pretty

Wii man

everyone (including opie) is looking at the camara

Dad and Tim at the hotsprings

Here we are

Have I let blogging go, yes I have partly because I have been busy and just haven't felt like it, partly because I don't have my camera cord to download pictures from my camera and I really would like to have some pictues to post. I finally just loaded into my computer however I need to figure a way to get them off my computer since the cd drive is unusable at this time. So I will post some pics here in a second. Wow what has been going on in May I was able to take off a couple days to visit Jacy while she was here was nice to be able to circulate in Prescott, reliving all the memories that turned us from children into adults. We went camping at the hotsprings in the verde valley and had a mini family reunion to. Then the regular stuff work,sleep, and eat has been keeping me busy as of late on June 1st, Alex celebrated his 25th birthday and had fun going go-karting in Phoenix, I got him and airsoft gun with the exception that he will never shoot me with it so far it hasn't happend. Last weekend we celebrated our 4th yr anniversary. I cant believe that it has been so long already, I still feel like a teenager I guess that feelings can be decieving. I got Alex a WII for his anniversary present and we have been having fun playing it together, though my arm hurts from all the swinging.

We have been doing some major cleaning to and are enjoying the clean house. I don't know when all the stuff we had to to fell behind but it did and it was so depressing to stew around in. After lightening our load everything feels better.

I have been planning a little vacation over to Cambria California over the 4th of July weekend. It is kinda a mothers day/birthday for Mom so of course she is coming with dad. Should be fun to explore this new place.

Anyhow I am getting tired will try to keep you all better informed of what is happening in the Delacruz household

Ready for the weekend? Hmmm yes. I think that I am still in vacation mode still in my mind, to bad the weekend is only 2 days long. We need to buy tile, paint, a vanity and a toilet for the bathroom upstairs. I think we are planning on painting the bathroom greenish/gray? maybe I am still trying to figure out what I'd like to do there. I don't really like the tan color I've decided especially when its two toned.

Today is a beautiful day the sun is shining and the birds are singing. I have the door open to the patio and the day is streaming in as I write this. I would like a screen door because there is a fly that has been buzzing around to.

I am definitely on a veggie sushi kick so yummy. Jacy's recipie for the rice makes it taste so good
I cook the sticky rice and then pour the vinegar sauce over it, 3Tbs of rice vinegar 3Tbs sugar 1Tbs salt. Cool the rice down on a cookie sheet (just enough so the rice isn't piping hot) then slice up cucumber, avacados, mangos, lettuce,asparagus, cilatro,(Jacy likes cream cheese) you can put what ever you want in them. Take a sushi wrapper then spread the sticky rice over the wrapper not very thick and placy the veggies on near the bottom of the wrapper then wrap it all up and slice . Presto you have a Japanese burrito, wow just talking about makes me hungry.

I've gotta go adiosu

Look what alex found!!
over by sharks cove
look at the lovebirds
me and mr handsome
I dont think alex wants to go home

Hello all-

We have arrived in april and life is good! We started out this month by taking a trip to see Jacy and Tim in Hawaii and that was so nice to have some time to relax and enjoy the time together (we haven't seen them in over a year). We also rented a condo while we were over there and stayed there while Jacy and Tim worked. It was a nice place right outside of Turtle bay resort on the Northern side of the island. On the weekends and a couple nights during the week we met up the them and played WII and snorkeled made some yummy veggie sushi and relaxed on the beach. We also biked down to the beach and Jacy and I went parasailing, fun fun. I just cant believe its over already time sure does fly when your having fun. I will post some pictures later on since I still havn't downloaded all the pics I have taken from the computer.
Since we have come back we got right back on track in the rat race.. work sleep eat. I have lined up some houses for us to look at in the near future so hopefully we can find a good price for a good deal. This weekend we plan on re-stocking the fridge and working on the bathroom and such. Anyhow will post some pics soon. love to all
