Pomegranate Margaritas

Well as I was saying in the last post Carrie and I had a great time. I will say that by my own fault the fun fizzled out a little bit by Tuesday. I wish I didn't have to work while she was here but no such luck and I was a little bit boring Tues and Weds. But Zach and Carrie got to spend a lot of quality time together :)

So she arrived late Friday night! Saturday we had a fun day at the Beach and suffice to say Carrie got a LOT of sun! as you can see (don't kill me Carrie) She got a good portion of that burn on the way to the beach in Z's convertible- let's just say it wasn't an original idea, going to the beach. We met Kyle and Christine at the Beach and while every played 2 hours of volleyball Carrie and I tanned and caught up :) For dinner we went to Burger and Beer Joint, one of Z and I's favorite finds. Although I was still a little full from the last time we went with La and El so I just had a salad. We made it home by about 9 and we were all ridiculously tired.



Sunday was Easter (refer to my previous blog). Then that night we went to Piola's to eat and then we took a walk around the bay. It was a nice night and a great walk (ABOO & Barbara Manatee)



Monday I had to work- but we still had an amazing night!! We made a feast. Flank Steak Salad and Pomegranate Margaritas. So when I first got home Carrie and I went on an adventure to the liquor store- very educational for me. Carrie had started marinading the steak at 10AM Monday morning. So here are a few pics of our delicious adventure.







The margaritas I highly suggest.
All you need is: Tequila, Triple Sec, Sweet and Sour mix, pomegranate juice and crushed ice.

For one drink
1.5 oz of Tequila and Triple Sec and Pomegranate Juice
and about 4 oz of Sweet and Sour mix
then add ice

After we had about 4 glasses each we decided to Skype everyone we know (sorry Kristi that we didn't get to talk). We had a great time talking to our families and friends (and Maxie).

Like I said I kinda fizzled out so we had a low key Tuesday and today I didn't have to be into work until 10:30A so we had a nice morning watching TV. Carrie left tonight :( I enjoyed having her here- I miss her already. (thanks for helping with all my wardrobe malfunctions)

Its a little pricey, but worth every penny. So save up so the next ti...

Clear Headed

I am back to blogging. I took a five year hiatus and honestly I have missed the outlet. I enjoy this release, and the ability to share with people (even if it's only 2 of you - hi mom!) I turned 30 this year and I am really focused on becoming and showing my authentic self. I love birthdays because I feel like its always a good time of renewal and to reset goals and visions. I am all about making myself better, and really discovering what is going to make me happy, and thats all about what habits and ideas are going to be sustainable. And this is a great platform to write about all those interesting things, that I am sure other people can relate to. So in this journey for authenticity I really want to strive for a simplistic materialistic approach in my life (this is a pretty new idea for me), but I think it will allow more space for the things that really matter. In an effort to move in that direction I received a little inspiration (which as we know always presents itself in ...

Crazy. Beautiful Life

Image
Well the past few weeks have been crazy! I am really getting into my new role and I must say I feel as if it suites me. Now I am still  "rookie" in every sense of the word, but to be honest I am learning from a great master. There is no better person to help me transition into this role and be the best that I can possibly be. And hey I am still me, I still Love, Love :) and that is what it is all about. When you have the honor of being a part of someone's most special day, a day that they will remember forever it really makes you realize how beautiful love is. We have a busy month ahead and I will try to update you on some of the weddings we do whenever possible because please do not doubt that they will be every bit of the word fabulous. In other news it seems that 2011 is the year of the weddings, Z and I have a lot of dear friends and family getting married this year. We are excited for this fun filled summer and fall and hope to make a lot of great memories along th...
