No Blogs..

It has been such a long time since I last posted anything on my blog. No reason specifically for this. But it has been raining more than I expected it to here in the desert, and I LOVE IT! As I am writing right now it's raining outside. I love to open all the windows and doors to fill the house with the refreshing smell of rain. This is possibly the reason that I have been wanting to move to Portland so bad. Bo has also been enjoying the rain, he will hang out in the rain keeping an eye on the neighborhood all afternoon if I let him. He comes in soaking wet, and very happy. :)

Happy Sunday.

Coffee, Coffee, Coffee!!

It is no secrete that we depend on our morning coffee.. If we are out, the both of us are grumpy and on edge until we have some, the same goes if we are out of half and half... never a good sight to realize we're out (which reminds me we NEED some 1/2 and 1/2). Carlos recently bought these toppers for our mason jars from Cuppow. They are one of the best investments that we have ever bought (if they even qualify as an investment)! I have to admit I am one lucky girl to have Carlos.

Farmers Market

Good Morning! We made a trip to our local farmers market this morning, and it has been a great Saturday morning. We bought eggs, carrots, and some radishes. Bo also got some treats, and Carlos bought some cinnamon bread. Have a great weekend, we're already enjoying ours!

SURPRISE!!!

Today, I got out at work when expected, always nice, and went by the grocery store after. But as I walked in the door, with bags in my hands and Bo jumping at my legs, Carlos was showing off my finished (almost) bike!!! All I need is a chain!!! What do you guys think?? I am in love!!

Primrose Hill Picnic

A few nights ago, I was able to buy the two butter LONDON products I have been wanting. Since I have not been able to find them in New Mexico, I was excited to see them in CA, but only to find that the color I wanted was sold out! But, thanks to Raquel she informed me of the FREE SHIPPING that Nordstrom's always offered!! Needless to say I am counting down the days until the arrive!

Welcome Home

Big change from the mid 90s I am used to in NM

Pretty center pieces for my cousins graduation party

Mine and Michelle's lunch break at the mall.

Where do I even start? This past week in California was great, my cousin Raquel graduated from high school (she will be a Wisconsin Badger next year)! I can't believe she is already going to be in college, I remember when my Nina was pregnant and when Raquel was just a baby, and now she is all grown up into a beautiful young lady. 

California consisted of lazy mornings full of coffee and family, shopping trips, and good food! The weather was colder than what I was hoping for, overall it was so nice to spend time with my family.

This is what is on top of my coffee, and it was AMAZING.

We arrived Wednesday night, settled in and got a good nights rest. Thursday my mom took me to my first trip to Ikea! Being that I am  on a limited (very limited) budget I was very excited to see such affordable furniture, too bad we didn't drive. But that didn't leave me empty handed, I bought a watering can and a wine rack and both for under $18! After that it was my cousins graduation, then we had dinner with her boyfriends family. By the end of the day I was exhausted, needless to say I slept like a baby every night.

Friday, I was able to go to H&M and Zara, both were just as wonderful as I remember from Spain! I can't wait to incorporate the pieces I bought into my summer wardrobe.

Saturday was my cousin's party, where I helped with minor detail, even though my mom and nina really did most of the prepping and cooking. I was in charge of helping Raquel and Michelle (Raquel's little sister, who is usually my partner in crime) with whatever they needed. I straightened Raquel's hair and curled Michelle's. Anything I can do to spend time with those girls makes me happy, I just love spending time with them! 

All in all, I couldn't be happier to be home, Bo was happy to see me, and it was great just to hang out with Carlos. Last night we enjoyed a beer at a local brewery near our house called Marble, and tonight I am just doing laundry. Good to be back in Albuquerque!

Marble Red.

Gave myself a mani/ pedi tonight using these colors :)
