Wordless Wednesday

Poor baby. Rocky has been through the ringer these past couple days. Vet yesterday for skin allergies and groomers today. Also, meds for the next couple weeks. He'll be back to his old self in no time!

Back to regular blogging soon! :)

Happies and Crappies

Happies

This is our 8 year anniversary weekend and we plan on going out for some sushi and a movie! Any night with sushi involved is a good night! ;)

After a super painful week and a half, I am finally starting to feel better. The pain is still there of course but I'm managing it a lot better.

Sunday is St. Patrick's Day and not only do I get to wear green and eat lots of corned beef and cabbage, it's also my sister's birthday! I wish I was with her this year but we have Skype so at least I get to see her! :)

The weather here in California is super warm! It's like we skipped spring and jumped right into summer! The great thing about it is the skies are blue and being outside is just wonderful. It makes you feel good!

Crappies

This past week has been very dramatic! My husband got hit by a tire on the freeway. Yea you read that right, a big rig tire from a blow out hit our car! It's all dented and cracked now. :( We've been dealing with the insurance, but it could take a while to get fixed. Hopefully soon! Send lots of prayers and good thoughts that we can get it beautiful again.

I'm still in chronic pain everyday. Like I said before it's not keeping me in bed all day like last week but I'm still taking my pain meds daily and just trying to be patient. I can't wait to be fixed again!

My mom is having a really rough emotional week and I can't be with her. :( This long distance mother-daughter relationship is tough sometimes! I'm grateful I get to talk to her on the phone but I'm a hugger and I can't hug my mama. Hoping I get to see her soon though. :)

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Happy Friday!

8 Years

Although my husband and I have only been married for two years, our love story began long before that. Eight years ago my husband and I sat in his room and shared our first kiss.

He is my first and only love and truly my best friend. We have shared so much together and stood by each other through the good and the bad. I couldn't have asked for a better partner to go through life with.

I know in social media it's too easy to sugar coat your life. My marriage is far from perfect and we have our ups and downs but we always work through it. We have learned to communicate and work through our issues together. By talking things out and learning from each other we have learned that we are better together (like our favorite Jack Johnson song). We can make it through anything, as long as we have each other.

Eight years ago our journey began and to this day I see no end in sight. He's my soulmate and a true blessing to me.

I'm starting to feel a bit better and taking each day as it comes.

Here's a little glimpse of what I've been up to!

 Hangin' out with my love in his truck.

 Gifts from my sister! Part of a coupon haul she did.

I got a haircut! It's been way too long and I love it!

I also just joined up with Bloglovin' and I hope you will follow me!

Tough Day

Yesterday was a tough day. For the past couple days I've been having horrible back pain. Everything is uncomfortable.

The last time this happened I ended up in the emergency room. I've been taking lots of meds and ice to help but nothing is working very well. :(

I've been cuddling with Rocky and trying to sleep this off. I'm so physically drained right now. Hoping for some relief today. Can't wait to get better and leave this all behind me.

Have you ever had a painful injury? What helped you get through it?

Rocky got a new toy. :)

Busy Weekend

First, I'd like to thank those that left such sweet words on my last post. I'm not fully recovered but I'm working on getting better every day. :)

Well I had a pretty busy weekend! For the first time in a long time I had things going on for me both Saturday and Sunday! It was refreshing to know that I could handle it. One day at a time.

Saturday was a sad day. My husband's best friend had to lay his dog Samson to rest. I'd never been to a pet funeral or new that they even had them but understood that this dog was part of our family and I had to be there to support our friend. It was a very emotional morning with lots of tears. I came home and hugged Rocky just a little tighter that night.

After the funeral we went out to eat at one of my favorite places, Brent's Deli. It's a pretty popular local place and is always packed! They serve pickles at every table and most of the waitresses are middle aged Jewish women with raspy voices. I love it! Ha ha.

I ordered my usual. Matzo Ball Soup and Mini Latkes (potato pancakes). It's the half Jewish girl in me that grew up with this food and take advantage of any moment to indulge in it! We ate and reminisced about all the great times we had with Samson and toasted our meal to him. We're definitely dog people, friends!

 This was my yummy meal! 

We headed back home after lunch and spent time with our little man. He ran around with my husband for a while and I snapped some pictures of his sweet face.

Just hanging out in Wan's truck. I think I might frame this! :)

Finally it was time to settle in for the night with a good 'ol fashion hockey game! I always get so excited on game days. I love my LA Kings and after a 5 game winning streak I was so looking forward to another win. Sadly, that didn't happen. We lost and I was sad. Just need to brush that one off and look forward to tonight's game! :)

Sunday was a very low key day. I made plans with one of my dearest friends Dani and we had a great time. It's been months since I've seen this girl but we caught up like we saw each other yesterday! She's been one of my closest friends since middle school. 17 years! I love that we're still close. :)

After brunch we snapped this as we were saying our goodbye's. 

Hopefully we'll get together again soon!

So there's my weekend! It had it's highs and lows and I'm just so happy I got out of the house!

I hope you all had a great weekend! :)
