Update on life..

Hello Blog World :) I can't believe it's been a month since I've posted! Things have been crazy busy! I hate gaps this long, because I tend to forget what's been going on, but here's to trying! :)

I have gone on two great trips in April. One was to a womens retreat that I had the honor of speaking at, Rubies & Pearls Conference in Frazier Park, CA ~www.rubiesnpearls.com. It was a GREAT weekend, and I had a blast. Got to see a lot of old friends, and hear amazing speakers. It was so fun & I cannot wait until next year!

I also got to go up north to San Francisco & Sacramento. I am from the Sacramento area (lived there for elementary school & junior high school), so it is always fun to go back and see old friends. I went to celebrate a pre-baby weekend with my good friend Lindsey. While I was in Sac on Friday night, I also got to see my old friend Becky so that was a lot of fun! San Fran was a blast, we went to one of my favorite places.. Burke Williams! So that was really nice. And then did some shopping, eating, and hanging out. It was great! Can't wait to meet baby Wyatt! :)

Last weekend I went to Ventura, so that was a lot of fun. Got to see two good friends so I was happy. Also saw the movie the Backup Plan.. Umm, pretty intense!! We walked out not wanting to have kids anytime soon! Haha.. Too funny.

I have been really busy planning a Casino Night for my non profit, Cancer Hope Foundation. YOU ALL SHOULD COME! June 5th, Saturday. Great night out!! www.cancerhopefoundation.org! Tickets are $35 per person in advance. I'm SO excited for the event!

And in addition, I am preparing for Haiti! I cannot believe it is less than a month away!! I leave May 23rd to go to Miami for the night, and then off to Haiti I go. I am so excited to be there. :) I have been blessed TREMENDOUSLY in the past week! Last weekend when I was in Ventura, one of my dear friends donated a TON for my Haiti Trip, and then on Monday, one of my good friends in Santa Monica wrote me a huge check! I was so amazed and in shock! And then I got another check in the mail yesterday! What an amazing week. I was SOOO thankful for all the donations. It helps SO much! Now I just need to pick up my malaria medicine, and I think get one more vaccination, pack, and prepare! Thanks to everyone for the prayers and support, I am SOOOO thankful!!!!!! :)

This past week was busy busy! Went to Ventura again on Wednesday night for a 'swap' party. It was so cool. You basically bring 10 items to donate, and they are all organized by type of clothes/size/etc. and then you get to 'shop' and swap. It was so cool, I walked away with a ton of great clothes!! :)

This weekend should be fun! I am going to SPRING CLEAN my house, have a bridal shower, birthday party, hiking, etc. Should be great!! I have a mountain of laundry that I need to get cracking on, and hopefully a lot of relaxing :) Yay.

I am having a party next weekend at my parents beach house since I am housesitting, so I am really excited for that. I need to work on the menu!! So hopefully I will be posting next week about the hike, and recipes from the party! :)

I also started a new blog that I will put the link to next week, so you can check that out. That is going to be dedicated to restaurant reviews, hike reviews, recipes, etc. It will be great. I will be sure to keep it linked to this one :) I just want to make it nicer before I link them. Should be good!

Hope that things are going great with everyone, and I will definitely post more soon.

Sending blessings your way!
xoxo
