SO now! DECEMBER! yay! I'm catching up!!! December has being going Great! i LOVE december!!! I listen to Christmas music ALL day long! i love it! On Friday the 4th, Ry took me to dinner at Chilli's to celebrate our 10 amazing months together :) It was a great dinner. Sometimes at dinner, we dont talk much, I just enjoy looking at him and watching his gestures. i looove to observe him. I learn so many things about him when I just sit quietly and watch him. *sigh* its so sweet to be in love. :) After dinner we went over to his house to play hand and foot! I won!!! yay!


This past weekend, we went to the Covina Christmas Parade. It was so much fun! I've lived here all my life and never really attended the parade as a spectator. lol, I always volunteered for the city...so it was a nice experience :) Ry's mom made some delicious sandwiches and we drank hot chocolate. Sean and Nicole came too! it was fun :) After the parade, Ry and I went Ice Skating for a YSA activity. It was nice to skate for FREE. hehe. On Sunday, We went to Break the fast and then over to Ry's house to play some hand and foot!

On December 8th, we celebrated Michelle's bday with some yummy enchiladas and a delicious chocolate cake :) I think she liked her gift from us! hehe

On Monday, we had our speech final. I did pretty good.. i got a B :) Ry...uhm...he's not a good test taker. lol he got a 56 i think...lol. but lucky for him, he has a guaranteed A because his team in the class won the class challenges. SO! he has an A in the class :) im happy for him! Yesterday we had our marriage and Family final, it was pretty easy :) so im confident i did well. I'm soooo glad this semester is over! although, im going to miss seeing my Ry every day! but! its ok :) A little time apart is healthy. hehe Today was a good day! We had pupusas for dinner! yumm.

It was fun and relaxing :) Ryan came over and we had dinner with my family [Enchiladas]. Ry gave me the BEST gift ever! the complete FRIENDS series!!!! I was SOO happy! lol.

On October 15th, we went to Knotts SCARY farm! IT was soo much fun! It was Ry's first time! My friends and I have been going for...7 years so its a tradition! :)

On the 24th, We decided to go to a Pumpkin PAtch! it was so much fun! After we carved a pumpkin named Boogaboo. he was cute! I had fun carving him :)

For Halloween, Ryan and I decided to relax. We went to dinner, drove around the neighborhood, and then went back to his house and just watched a movie outside.
On November 5th, it was our 9 month-a-versary. Ry had a meeting at church, so he surprised me with flowers :) so sweet, I know. hehe. My sister's bday was on the 10th, so we went out to eat with my family. We went to Chipotle ofcourse. lol.

On Nov 11th, I decided to call Kroq because they were giving away Weezer tickets. Ry had been trying all week to get them, but couldn't get through. SOOO I called and WON! woohoo! so we have a free Weezer concert on January 11, 2010. im SO excited! Oh! on Veteran's Day...we drove alll the way to the jay leno show studio and when we got there they said the system messed up and overbooked by 100+ people! so we just hung out lol :) I no longer watch Jay Leno...hehe that'll teach him a lesson!

On November 13th, we went to Dinner with Meagan and her friends to celebrate her bday. It was fun to see Meagan and Jared :) After her dinner, we came back home and went over to my best friend's surprise bday party. It was nice seeing my high school friends all over again :)

Later on in the month, November 20th, Ry had the brilliant idea of going to his high school's football game. it was so much fun! he wore his letterman jacket and was loving it lol :) he's so adorable! i looove to see him in his letterman jacket! After the game, we went over to the church building and had a bonfire with the YSA from his ward. it was sooo much fun! we played hide and go seek! :)

He looks SO cute!!!

Thanksgiving 09 was so BUSY! Ry went to a Turkey Bowl in the morning, while I cooked a pasta salad for later that night. At around 12:30, we went over to the Covina Thanksgiving feast. it was SO much fun! its so nice to serve! we were in charge of turkey..so we served plenty of turkey :) The people in charge of the event told us that they served 29 turkeys! it was Madness. At around 3:30, we started heading over to Ry's [Ferrante] grandparent's house. We had dinner with them around 4:30 and enjoyed some quality time :) It was really really nice and relaxing. I love being around his family. They're all sooo sweet and kind. After dinner, we watched tv and just hung out with Michelle.

At around 6:45, started heading to my mom's friend's house, Sandra. She is a good friend of my mom's, we've known her for a while and she invited us over for dinner, since she knows our family isn't too big. We usually just stay home for thanksgiving and eat dinner, but this year it was fun to be around more people :) Ry had a lot of fun! he played in a mini pool tournament that they had going on and he did really well! After that, we played Jenga and just hung out! Overall, it was an Amazing thanksgiving! I'm soo thankful to have such a wonderful man in my life. he makes everything so much sweeter, makes my world turn much smoothly and just makes my heart so much bigger :) i absolutely loove him with alll my heart!

The day after thanksgiving, we went on a double date with some friends. They invited us to a FREE dinner and movie! it was AMAZING! the theater is brand new and they were doing a mock trial! it was sO fancy! i felt like a celebrity. :)

The next day, we went to Reed and Solange's wedding. It was a nice intimate reception. AFter that we went to watch the Blindside. Great movie! we loved it! :)
