Master bath remodel



Here is a glimpse of our master bath before. When the contractors demo'd the bathroom, they found mold behind our sink! We found out that there was a leak in our plumbing under the sink and water was seeping into our walls, thus attracting a million spiders to our bathroom. (or at least it seemed like it) Good thing we caught it before it could get any worse.

Turning 30


Kids, so I turn 30 tomorrow. Overall, Its been a great ride. Those of you that know me well are aware of the struggles I went through in my 20's of self-doubt, character transformation, self-confidence, and other typical '20's' crisis. I'm really grateful for where God has taken me and the journey he has given me to take. What a decade it has been! 10 years ago I was living at home, driving a Chevy Corsica (yeah baby!), worked at Sav-ons (now CVS pharmacy) and in college worried if anyone would hire me. 10 years later, I've moved several times, changed jobs 5 different times, made many life-long friends, made investments, traveled overseas, married a wonderful man, adopted a dog and a bird, and now remodeling a house! Talk about life changes. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me for the next 10 years.
Friends and Family: Thank you for being a part of my journey.

A homemade beanie for "Beans"


Since I haven't crocheted in ages, I was pretty proud of the hat I made for little Bean. Her mama even added a sweet butterfly clip so people wouldn't mistaken her for a boy. I miss little Beans.

Old Closet In Our Bedroom

New Closet!




We decided to compress our closet space to allow for a bigger master bath. People I thought I was crazy to do this. Sacrific closet space?! Although this did make me nervous, the end result allowed for more storage space in our master bath AND closet. Although I get a smaller closet, it actually provides more space because we added compartments for specific items. (dresses, suits, jackets, pants, etc)

Our guest bathroom before...



Our New Bathroom!

You ask, and we deliver! A lot of you have asked for photos of our remodel and finally we have something to show you. Our guest bathroom was completed after 2 weeks. We couldn't be happier to get a bathroom back. We were literally without a shower for the past two weeks. Keith has been taking showers at work, and I have... resorted to taking a sponge bath. Our house was designed in a way that our contractor couldn't do one bathroom at a time, which means they had to work with two showers and tub at the same time, hence leaving us without the ability to take showers at home for two weeks.

Working overtime


Spent 2 days in San Diego last week to host a event for my clients at work. We hosted the event at a snuffy Wine Bar at the Gaslamp Quarter, which turned out to be a lot of fun. I learned alot about wine paring and types of wine at the event... not to mention I also got confirmation that I'm allergic to something in wines... or shellfish. I ended the night breaking out in hives. That wasn't fun.

Caught in the Act


I was at a Laker game a few weeks ago, and was caught in the act of returning to the buffet line to get a second serving of their delicious chicken wings. Hey, how often do you get the chance to pig out at the Staples Center? I took advantage of it. ;-)

Animal Abuse in DACC?

This is tough content to absorb, but those of you that know me, know that I feel strongly about the mistreatment of animals. Please inform yourself and make your own decision. http://lacdacc.blogspot.com
