lately in photos

hi readers! i'm in chicago right now! (and it's waaaay too hot here!)

lately, via photos:

one of our fish was SUPER pregnant. she literally looked like a swimming good year blimp!

we have these terrible high windows that are a very awkward shape so we can't put curtains over them. this makes a sleeping mask essential for sleeping in on the weekends!

lilly being a lazy lady <3

noah is "milk wasted"

after reading the hunger games, i bought the next 2 books plus the perks of being a wallflower. i'm nearly finished with catching fire, then on to mockingjay..

randy holding noah for the first time. he wasn't half bad at it, either!

just another item on my very long list of reasons why i'm marrying randy joe <3

carmella's baby shower!

i know carmella already had noah about 2 weeks ago, but i wanted to share pictures of her baby shower with you all.

we held the shower on may 20. it was co-ed, and we had about 90 people that RSVP'd! luckily it wasn't quite as crazy as i thought it was going to be. the event was full of love and happy anticipation of noah's arrival.

parents-to-be

mama-to-be and grandma-to-be

randy was such a great help the whole day!

we played this hilarious game where the guys competed to see who could diaper and dress a babydoll the fastest.. while blindfolded!

i love how happy they look!

blog favorites from 2012

it's hard to believe that this is the last day of 2012!

*source

before i get ready to ring in the new year, i want to take a moment to reflect on this one that is very rapidly coming to an end..

i wrote a post about old friendships and what happened when i tried to revisit some of mine. i'm glad i reconnected, even if just for a moment in time.

finishing my rooster tattoo. even though it turned out i wasn't finished..
*disclaimer: i admit, i finished my tattoo in december 2011, but i didn't share until 2012!

finding out that our godchild was going to be a godson! even though carmella knew it was a boy like 4 days into her pregnancy..

picking our wedding venue and setting a date. nothing will make getting married feel more real than deciding on these two details. wedding planning in general has been so wonderfully stressful and rewarding. thankfully i only have a couple more months left of it..

deciding to scale back on blogging so i could concentrate on wedding planning, spending time with family and friends, and living outside of blogger.com

the arrival of noah on june 25. watching him grow has been such a blessing for randy and i. not to be biased, but he is one of the cutest babies i have ever known, and i can't wait to see what life has in store for him!

seeing jason mraz with randy. this was such a great date night! randy and i haven't been to a concert that we've both really enjoyed since probably 2007 or 8.

taking a santa barbara trip with my dad and grandparents. i will always cherish this trip to sb! spending time with your family when you're an adult is seriously the best thing ever (if you have a good family, that is).

celebrating a year of being engaged.

randy and i did an 8-week weight-loss challenge and lost (combined) 25 pounds! it's been a couple of week since it ended, but we've been maintaining the lifestyle changes and are continuing to be a healthier couple!

so there you have it, folks - my favorite blog moments from 2012! i hope you all have a wonderful (and very safe) new years celebration, and i'll be seeing you on the other side :)

wedding wednesday

this year, my birthday was a very special one, because the day after was my bridal shower!

it was at the tin roof bistro in manhattan beach, ca. i had never been there before, but lisa (my stepmom) and carmella (my maid of honor) both had, so i trusted their judgment. i loooved the feel of it - rustic and cozy. my shower was in a private room that was next to the outdoor dining. it felt like we had our own little restaurant! carmella and lisa did the decorating, which was girly and adorable, which is pretty much everything i love!

it wouldn't be a bridal shower without games! we played a celebrity couples game where we were given clues about a celebrity couple and had to match it up with the right pair. my obsession with all things celebrity news was definitely an advantage for me, but i took myself out of the running for a prize, and my friend jackie ended up winning! then we played "who has the groom?" each person gets an envelope; inside is a picture of a celebrity, but one envelope contained a photo of randy. the person who 'has the groom' wins, and it ended up being my 'aunt' skylar! (i say 'aunt' because she's my stepmom's sister, so technically she's my aunt, but we're only 5 years apart, so we're more like cousins). we had a big joke that we were keeping it in the family ;)

then the moment i had been dreading/preparing for:

right before i opened gifts, carmella sat me down and surprised me - she had sent randy some questions and i had to guess what his answers were! i have to say i got most of them right, and his answers were so sweet and brought back so many memories from when we were first dating! like how the first thing i cooked for him was chicken (which i actually don't remember but totally believe), and the first thing he cooked for me was spaghetti (which i do remember).

here is the only decent photo of me opening gifts. i love how gift photos are always kind of terrible because you're always mid-expression or blurry from all the moving around.
