Jamie's Birthday Weekend

 

We drove out to Javier's in Newport Coast to kick-off Jamie's 26th birthday weekend.  We had a lot of fun walking around enjoying the lovely November weather.  It was an intimate birthday celebration full of a lot of laughter and love.

 

The next day, the Bosters and the Aughinbaughs came over to Brad and Jamie's home to celebrate.  We headed to Ponte for a couple of bottles of wine and some delicious appetizers.  The ambiance, service, and food were FABULOUS...definitely worth checking out!  After, our late lunch we headed to Wilson Creek Winery to visit our Aunt Sharon and to meet up with my Mom and Will.  It was great to have everyone together to celebrate someone very important in our lives.  

Happy Birthday Jamie...I love you!!!

Jimenez/Boster Fun

Bosters

 We had a lot of fun "blending" families this last weekend with the Jimenez family and the Bosters in Murrieta.  We met up at Brad and Jamie's home for some getting to know you time, then headed off to BJ's.  We are all looking forward to the wedding coming up in April...it is hard to believe it is only 5 1/2 months away.  

Burlesque Show @ STK

My mom and I were invited to a Burlesque show at STK to kick off the holidays.  Can't wait to have Jamie and Brad's reception here!  We always have a great time and never leave wanting...thanks Jason and Elliot!

Maid of Honor duties...(cont.)

Jamie came up to LA for the weekend to get some wedding details accomplished. We FINALLY sent off the Save-the-Dates that turned out fabulous! We also found the fabric for the flowergirls' dresses that are being made by my Aunt Joan.

I feel blessed to have so much time on my hands to be the maid of honor my sister deserves. I am looking forward to accomplishing the next few tasks.

Wedding Details

 

My sister Jamie and her fiance´ Brad plan to tie the knot in about six months!!!  So, much of this weekend was spent ironing out some of the wedding details.  Saturday afternoon the bridesmaids met at MaryMe Bridal and ordered their dresses.  Jamie found this dress online and we were surprised at how well it fit all of the bridesmaids.  We are all so happy to be wearing such a gorgeous dress that can actually be cut off and used again.  Jamie and I spent Saturday night working on the save-the-dates.  I am looking forward to the finishing touches and to sending them off!

 

Happy Birthday Dad and Jason!!!

Girls Night Out

 

We chose to spend girls night out at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills.  We shared two bottles of wine thanks to our new "friend" from South Africa.  Can't wait to go out with these fabulous ladies again soon!

End of Summer Celebrations

 

August 22, 2009

Jamie and I had the pleasure of sharing the role of Maid of Honor in our friend Allison's wedding.  The wedding was beautiful and a joy to share such a special time in Taylor and Allison's lives.  

 

I turned 24 this year and was blessed to share it with some of my closest friends and family.  Thank you all for coming and making it such a special day for me.  We all met up at the soon-to-be Boster's home and then headed to Ponte Winery in Temecula Valley.

  I am lucky to have such a generous sister and future brother-in-law...thank you both so much for opening your home and hosting the party!!!  

I have also decided to start looking for job opportunities in Orange County.  I am ready to be back in my hometown and closer to my friends and loved ones :).

Brad and Jamie had their engagement party last weekend in Ladera Ranch. We were surrounded by family and friends. It was exciting to celebrate the upcoming union of two very important people in our lives.

Our brother Dan and sister-in-law Sara were able to make it for the party all the way from Missouri!!! It was awesome spending time with them. We got a family picture as well...with the addition of Brad :).

My mom and I moved in together into a two bedroom a couple of months ago. We are enjoying our new apartment. I am still getting used to the LA lifestyle!

Jamie and Brad moved into their new condo. We are all very impressed!!! I can't wait to stay in MY room.

Wedding Fun and Birthday Celebrations

My sister is getting married in May of next year.  She decided to take her bridesmaids out for the day to see the Flower Mart in Dowtown LA, lunch at Toast, and her ceremony site.  The weather and day could not have been more beautiful...it exceeded Jamie's expectations. We had a blast hanging out and getting to know each other better.  We are all looking forward to celebrating Jamie and Brad's wedding next year.

 

Brad's brother, Jeff, turned 30 this past week and we celebrated by eating at the Cheesecake Factory and then watching Star Trek; the girls were a bit "nervous" as Jamie put it but it turned out to be a great movie!  Thank you Mark and Debbie for treating :).
