2014- What I am Grateful For

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Now that it is officially 2015 I want to take a moment to remember the year passed, the highlights and everything and everyone I am so grateful for!!The highlight of 2014 for me was definitely when Andy and I went to Disneyland and drove up the Coast to San Francisco. Disneyland was so much fun and the drive up the Coast was the most beautiful drive I have ever done!! Also eating in San Francisco was a delight!! Here are some of my favourite moments from our trip...

 Andy found this gem in Santa Barbara, BEST mexican food I have ever had!!

 The Coast <3

The Food

The fact that I got to go on this trip with my best friend and the man I love all the times made this trip perfect :) 

 This year was also one of the first years in a LOOONG time I actually enjoyed Christmas!! I have a little Christmas baggage but this year was relaxing and fun thanks to these wonderful people in my life... my family :):)

Mom and I

I can't forget these guys!! My kids, Jesse and Robyn

This year I also reunited with friends from high school...

(Thanks to Steph-Middle)

In August, Andy and I spent a weekend in Whistler. Hiking Black comb, Dinner at Barefoot Bistro and Massages. It was such a relaxing weekend.

Barefoot Bistro 

 I also changed jobs this year and started working at Moe's Home Collection. I've met some great friends and fell in love with all the furniture and home decor.

I hope you all take the time to reflect on your year and appreciate all the amazing things and people in your lives!!

Los Angeles Views and Universal Studios

Happy Monday everyone!! I spent my weekend taking in the sites of Los Angeles and spending some time at Universal Studios!!

Hollywood
Taking in the views...

Griffith Observatory

We hung out here, learned some stuff about space and enjoyed the air conditioning.. It was HOT!!

Universal Studios

Tram Ride

Some wreckage from the War of the Worlds movie. 

Springfield- Simpsons Ride

This ride made me a little nauseous but the little world created around the ride was really well done!! The Kwik-E-Mart and Moe's Pub were really cute!!

Randomness Around the Park
Scooby Doo!!

Evil Minion

Jurassic Park Ride

Definitely the best ride at Universal. Once Andy and I realized if we go in the singles line we end up on the same ride anyway, just one in front of the other as opposed to beside each other, we went on this many times!!

Me and Dora the Explorer.. She's super cute!

 Transformers Ride

This ride had the same idea as the Simpsons ride, where you move in one spot and the screen takes you on the ride, but there were moments of the whole ride moving to different screens so it made me less nauseous. Overall it was pretty fun!

Animal Actors

Of course Andy and I would go see this!! Needed an animal fix as I'm missing my kitties.. This was fun, it was hard to take pictures though because the animals were constantly moving. It's worth it to check it out though :) :)

Baxter from Anchorman 2

We are now making our way up the coast. Were currently in Santa Barbara, I am in LOVE with Santa Barbara, it is beautiful here!! More of that to come.. Have a great week everyone!!
