San Diego (Fin)

This is my collection of iPhone pictures from our trip. Above is the van, I mean, Sweet Ride, that took us to the wedding.... and home.

Another view from our favorite restaurant, Poseidon.

I couldn't get over the hills, the fancy plants and the fancy cars in CA! My first time seeing a Tesla!

Our first trip to In-N-Out burger... YUM.

We both ordered animal style! Hello gluten pills... so worth it!

A view during the wedding ceremony.

I think the name of the restaurant was Americana, they have a great breakfast restaurant that includes really healthy stuff and gluten free bread!

Another picture from Poseidon... since it was the last night we took lots of pics that included our ceviche and mojitos! 

San Diego (Part 3)

Welp, the day after the wedding I was barely mobile. I was over served ;)

We checked out the Gas Lamp district of San Diego which was cool. It's packed with bars but neither of us were interested in that! haha

We also checked out Laguna while there. You know, like on the show The Hills..... we wanted to find Lauren Conrad but, no dice. The shops were really neat there though!

From there we headed to New Port which I would totally skip if I were you. It had a weird jersey shore feel.

We did see this there though.... which was pretty amazing.

We went back to Del Mar which was our favorite spot by far and got dinner at Poseidon. It's located right on the beach and was delicious! This was our view during dinner....

It was a great way to end our trip :)

San Diego (Part 2)

This picture really shows the arrangement of the wedding. Up top is where the ceremony and reception were. The middle level we are on here is where the cocktail hour was. And then below, which you can't see i this picture, is where all the fun dancing happened :) 

Besties! Me and Jen's prom pose. Isn't this view of the ocean so pretty?

The Charlotte crew.

This little ring bearer was just too cute. He was mesmerized by the band!

I love this pic of me and Dave and I just love this dress from the Banana Outlet that I wore!

Jen got her dress at Ivy and Leo it was such a pretty shade of green! Most guys at the wedding were outfitted in a very Spring khaki suit!

They brought out the heaters for the reception! Brrrrr! Steak, Sea Bass and Ravioli were served.

We're Back! (Part 1)

We just got back from a fabulous trip to San Diego. We went for our friend Jordan's wedding but made a vacation out of it. Some of our friends were going to the wedding as well and some of our other friends were already traveling in CA at the same time - so we got to be with a lot of friends which was great fun!

Our first night there we met our friends in Coronado island at Miguel's for some yummy mojitos, checked in to our hotel, and then went to dinner at Pacifica in Del Mar. It was recommended for its great view. Unfortunately there was fog that night BUT their kale salad was delish!

The next day we went to La Jolla. Apparently this was the first small trip I went on as a baby with my parents. I was born in California but moved when I was four.  I loved this little cave and as we looked closed, we saw tons of seals sun bathing! 

Me and my honey

Jen and Josh

Jen and Moi... who have been counting down to this vacation since last year!!

Beautful La Jolla coast! There were flowers all over the beach which I loved!

Dave took this great pic of two gulls talkin!

Charlotteans here for the big wedding!

Awww, although these guys were smelly, they sure were cute!

The next day was wedding day at Le'auberge resort in Del Mar. The wedding ceremony and reception were literally on top of the resort which faced the ocean. It was a bit chilly but we still enjoyed ourselves!

Our friend getting married is from West Virginia so they HAD to have a bluegrass band during cocktail hour! :)

More to come....

Marley Lilly App

I learned about Marley Lilly this week from my coworker. It's a free app and is so cute! You can create wallpapers with your monogram for your iPhone.

Confessional

I ate a pint of Talenti ice cream (gelato - same thing) last night.

It was the butter pecan ...... YUM. Although the Salted Caramel is my absolute favorite. I do want to try the Simply Strawberry next!

My "book club" came over last night. I hosted this month and did a Mardi Gras theme. There are 10 of us in the group but only 6 could make it. And boy did we make it a party! I think I counted 5 bottles of wine in my recycle bin! WHOA. Needless to say, today is gonna be a long one for this girl! haha. Is it 5 o'clock yet?

Thursday Afternoon

My afternoon started out with a creme brulee latte from Starbucks. Lucky me, they still have them in supply!

After that I ran home to make cheese bread for my Books n Cooks group. I think it turned out okay, everyone seemed to like it however I know the cheese was a bit rubbery because it took forever to bubble up! I took a big loaf of french bread and sliced it in half. Then I topped both sides with Classico pesto sauce, sliced roma tomatoes, julianned basil leaved, and sliced mozerella. I put it in the oven on 325 for 25 minutes. The cheese melted but I wanted it bubbly so I put it under the broiler for another 5 minutes. I also brought my tomato basil soup!

3 month old Savannah joined the group :) She is super sweet.

And we just chatted it up as girls do :)

Fun Dream

Last night I dreamed that I was a member of N*SYNC.... I realize there are no girls in this boy band but in my dream there were two of us. I dunno who the other girl was but that doesn't matter. What matters is that I had some serious moves and vocal ranges - and that Justin Timberlake gave me the nod that was I was doing great. My moves kind of resembled those of the Elf Yourself videos. Crazy good. We even went to an after party and well... best.best.dream.ever. Happy Friday!

Holidays: Part 2

Merry Christmas from the Mueller boys in New Orlreans!

Side note, brother John doesn't always dress like he is MacLemore

The Christmasy living room

This was our first time at my in-laws new home - it was beautiful!

Their dog, Oliver. He hates the camera so this was the best picture I got.

Father in Law Nick with the sweater that he bought and wrapped for himself. LOL.

We were testing out our new camera and there is a "fish lense" on it and well, it makes you look like what a fish sees, ha! 

We attended the WWII museum Christmas show. The red head, Mandi, is my brother in law's girlfriend.

Afterwards we went the Roosevelt hotel. It.was.gorgeous.

In-laws!

We watched the Saints win, well some of us did.

Go Saints!

Mandi's puppy named Hallie.

Our friends, John, Patrick and Caroline came over for a visit. Patrick is a hoot and had us all pretending that we lived at the North Pole while he played Santa Claus.

Then we were back at the WWII museum for their Jump Jive & Wail NYE celebration.

It took place in the Boeing center - which is pretty cool!

Uncle Blue was a fan favorite while up on stage singing with the Victory Belles - Mandi is in blue. 

Hello! I really liked the white sequinned top from Nordstrom. 

We brought some poppers and in them were mustaches and crowns ha.

My favorite part of the evening - the photo booth! :)

Hope everyone had a great time over the holidays surrounded with friends and family!
