Welcome "Tyler Kai Cabalo"!

My best friend Jessica Cabalo (Caca is our nickname for her) and her husband Adam just got a new addition to their family today... a new baby boy they named Tyler Kai Cabalo. He is 7lbs 9oz, 20 inches. Congratulations to my "Matron of Honor"! :D Paul and I are so very happy for the two of you!

Back from our Holiday Visit to Texas

Paul and I arrived on Wednesday from our Holiday trip to visit Paul's mom's side of the family. Above is a picture of the grandchildren with grandma, then me with Paul's cousin Jacob, and then a picture of Paul's mom Josie with her siblings and their mother. We had a good time in McAllen, TX where we stayed at Josie's house. Her dog Heidi is so adorable. We also went shooting for the first time in my life!!! Paul's family introduced me to a very popular Texan activity! Below are some pictures!

Thoughts Before Our Holiday Flight

We are headed to visit the in-laws tonight in Texas for the Holidays so Paul & I decided to open gifts a little early this year. One of the gifts I got him was a waterproof video camera and he said he was going to videotape me snoring or some other embarrasing moment and post that clip on our blog. We both laughed so hard last night thinking about that as I begged him not to... Hopefully he was just kidding! haha...

We'll be back on the 26th so I'm sure I'll have more stuff to post after our trip. Spoke to Jessica yesterday and she said she is still patiently waiting for "Baby Cabalo" to come. Hopefully I'll be able to post his specs when we get back!

Ana's Little Rascal

Ana has been my friends since the very first day of high school. The honest truth is that I ended up choosing USC because of her... she wanted me to be her roommate. :) When you're young, you make certain choices because of what your friends are doing, and Ana was that great of a friend.

I guess I had to reminisce because today I'm meeting up with Ana for a shopping day. It's going to be fun... Here are pictures of the little man. He looks exactly like Karl and not Ana. hehe... This is his very first Christmas!

Brushing up on my Slideshow Skills

Okay, so I'm an amateur. But since I have some free time (not starting my new job until December 27th), then I thought I'd try and reproduce some photo slideshows and post them here on my new blog. I would like to start posting pictures and photo slideshows of certain events that I attend or am part of. :) I'm so excited!
