flowers, angelie, and friends

So I started helping Joey’s best friend’s wife do flowers for weddings several times a month.  She is supper talented and smart to have started this business because the Lodi/Stockton has a need for all that is wedding.  Anyways, One of the MAJOR perks about my helping her thus far is her sweet baby girl.  It all started back last May when I got a phone call from Joey telling me this baby was on the way….my college roommates could attest to how excited I was; I think mostly because I knew this was the first baby that would play a major role in Joey and my life.  When she was born in February we were so amazed! A couple and family we were so close with had just changed forever, and although things are no longer how they truly used to be, I wouldn’t want to go back to the days before ANGELIE. 

Now she is a whoppin’ six months old!... she has grown so fast and all though I love that she is getting bigger and more playful and cute, time has SERIOUSLY blown by.
Here is a picture of her from last week.  Charlie (Angelie’s Dad) basically put her on the counter where she is hanging off the edge of the granite.

Angelie also looks soo much like her dad it is funny! Every time we see her she looks more like him. I secretly LOVE it.

Let’s do a little compare contrast shall we??

(Dont know why that pic is soo jumbo)

The last pictures are simple a tribute to my besties from college. I’m posting these pictures really because I miss them, I love our memories, and I love them.

The Glory days have come to an end...

So we just joined a new church in Elk Grove and are loving it.  One of the things my husband especially loves about it is that they have a softball league.  This is SOO exciting for him because he was born and bred baseball. He played all the way through college but Im pretty sure high school baseball were his real glory days.  Regardless, those glory days have proven to be LOOOONG over.  Above is a picture of the back of Joey’s leg (behind his knee) of the results of last Friday night’s game.  I sat in the bleachers watching him scramble around the in-field and make great catches and throws to his fellow basemen for a few great strike outs.  He made some good contact with the ball when he was up to bat, but the contact usually resulted in a pop fly that was caught right away.  As the game was coming to an end and I sat there watching our new team and my Joey under the lights, I thought I could get use to being a FAN. The game ended and Joey stumbles towards me ready to leave…..Blood running down his shin, and complaints of some serious pulled hamstring action and both groins very strained.  Joey has been in pain since Friday with some serious bruising as you can see, but the fact of the matter is simple; when he is on that field I think my 28 year -old husband thinks he is a lean and limber, 17 year-old star player all over again.

The First....

I have debated for months and months whether to do this blog thing or not....And I think I finally came to the conclusion that I get soo much insight and info and enjoyment out of reading others blogs, why not give it a go???

I also have a wee bit of free time on my hands right now. I am newly married, and unless you call cleaning the kitchen multiple times a day and living at the gym amongst other things a "job"....I am Jobless for the time being.

I also think the blog thing is fun for the friends that I no longer live with or by. This gives us a candid glimpse into each others lives, and all of this is hugely important to stay connected and close.

So for now I will leave you with the profound words my husband (Joey) said to me last night before I went to sleep,
"Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker." -Willy Wanka and the Chocolate factory. (This had nothing to do with what we were talking about, and EVERYTHING to do with how random, and funny he can be.) Ahhhh, the words of the wise, thanks Wanka.
