Girls Afternoon Out!

Fact:

I don't have tooo many close friends, I only have 2 girl friends that I Looove!

Anneliese and Becca. They have been my friends since 1st grade!!! yup...long long time!

All 3 of us go to school and 2 of us have jobs on top of that...SO we dont get to hang out too often due to our conflicting schedules. On Tuesday, we decided to take a last minute trip to Descanso Gardens [located in La Canada]. It was soooo gorgeous! We walked around for about 2 hours and just talked! it felt so good to catch up! :)

Here are a few pics:

I hope to spend more wonderful days with these lovely ladies :)

Love,

Steph

OoOo Baby I Love Your Ways...Everyday!

Hello!!!!
Soooo About a year ago, I was online looking for local photographers and I came upon Lucy Manalo's page! I fell in loove with her work! We kept in contact throughout the year and we became friends :) She's amazing!! a couple weekends ago, she offered to photograph me for an amazing price ;)[Right Lucy?] lol so she did! Ryan came with me and he jumped in on a few pics! I haven't posted any of the pics on facebook because they look like engagement pics and I don't want any assumptions to be made. lol. Sooo ill share them on here since no one reads this lol! They were taken in downtown Covina, which i love! =] We had a ton of fun! Lucy is so sweet and she takes all the pictures according to your style. She will definately be photographing my wedding lol! Check out her website: http://www.manaloempire.com/ she's great!!! :)

Here they are:

Once again, thank you Lucy!!!! and for everyone else...they are NOT engagement pics! =]

oh! the dodger game was super fun!!!! Dodgers won in the 9th inning! which was GREAT! my boyfriend Andre Ethier hit a homerun and sent 3 dodgers home! woop woop!

*************************************************************
Today:

Ryan and I were gunna do our usual Monday Run...but! the band was using the field so we went to a park instead to run...but we just sat on the grass and listened to music lol it was really fun! Right before he dropped me off we were playing with an app on my iphone and I recorded him saying some random stuff lol =] here's a little slide show I made with the recording in the background, it was NOT planned! I just decided to jump in and sing....lol

we have tooo much fun together!!!

Funny Story:

The other night, Ry and I were skype-ing and I decided to use a feature on my webcam that adds different effects...example: wigs, mustaches, hats...etc. So I added a wig and Ryan took a pic of it! LOL I look soooo retarded!

Well, Im off to bed!
Goodnight!!!!

6 Months of Looove!

Hello hello!!!!

Oh My Goodness! Time flies!

Its been SIX months since Ry and I started going out! ahhh it seems like 2 weeks! lol They've been amazing! I thought Ryan had forgotten about it! but he didn't! at around 1pm, I was taking my lunch at work, when this man walks in with flowers looking for a "Stephanie Arcos" lol! isn't that adorable?! yup! he sent flowers to my work! with a card that read "Happy 6 Month Anniversary! Love, Ryan " it made my heart melt! I've never had flowers delivered to my work! it was so adorable! After work, We went to Chilli's and had dinner =] Now he's at home relaxing and I'm doing the same!

I looove Sunflowers!

I loved the Vase they came in!

This was today :)

This past weekend we went to my Family Party in Fontana and Oh My Goodness! there was a live banda! haha Ryan and I danced a few songs...yup my white boyfriend danced to banda! amazing! he was really good! we danced to a few other songs too =] It was a lot of fun! my family loved him! 1 of my aunts actually has a "crush" on him..haha =] I loved having him around! I love the fact that I dont have to worry about how he will act around my family...because he's simply amazing at all times! super polite and so nice!

He looked VERY handsome!

We've been trying to run in the evenings but its hard! lol he runs more than I do.... I used to run the mile in 8 minutes!!! and now...ughhh oh well! it takes time i guess =] But im VERY proud of my Ryan...he's unstoppable! lol

Oh! So we went to a Jack's Mannequin concert on July 18th! It was my very first concert! I loved it!!!!!! they are so amazing live! =] Oh! we found a blackberry and we decided to return it to the owner...so we did. =]

He looks Adorable!!

This was during Jack's Mannequin :) We had lawn seats, they're comfy!

We registered for classes last weekend and we have 2 classes together! it should be fun! We can study together! :)

Blog

So once again...I've abandoned my blog. lol! I'm going to try to write atleast once a week from now on...I Promise!

There have been a few changes recently, for example: My mom got a better job offer so we'll be moving down the street so that she can manage a bigger apartment complex. So...I'll be moving sometime this coming week. NOT looking forward to it, but everything will be fine =] I was considering staying where we live now and having my own place, but there were a few complications in the process, so I decided to move with my mom. She wasn't too happy about me moving with her, since the new apartment is a little bit smaller. Something about me moving on my own didn't feel right, I was a little sad because I was doing everything on my own...and I always thought I would be moving out when I get married. So, it just didn't feel right. I had started to look for appliances on craigslist and I found 2 TVs for a really good price! So, I bought them and now I have 2 extra TVs lol. Ry is going to keep the bigger one for his room and I'm going to keep the other one for my room. Speaking of my Ry...he's been so sweet! He's been comforting me and making sure all is well with me =] He's not into this blogging thing, but I'd like to thank him for being so amazing!

Work is going great, the usual stuff =]

I didn't take any summer courses so I got to relax...a lot! =] I'm not used to it...lol I register on the 25th so lets hope I get good classes! Ry and I might take a history class together! yay :)

Oh! my mom's family is coming from Mexico! we didn't know how many people were coming...and we found out yesterday that 13 are coming?!?! oh the joy of being Mexican lol.
it should be interesting.... =]

well im off!

Ale...oh man. i wish she lived with me =[ hmm Daisy and Michelle are in Rosarito with their mom...my grandma was telling me that they are crazy for boys! so idk...lol OVer all! everything is pretty great!

The Boyfriend:
oh yeah i forgot to mention...i have a boyfriend hahahahaahaha i havent said that in ages! lol yup
So Jan. 13 I met this boy named Ryan Ferrante. I was sitting with Naomi at institute just having a girl talk and he comes up to us...says "hey Nay how's your grandma doing..." lol and then introduces himself to me. He is Tall [6'3] Light Skin and Dark brown hair. oh and the best part...blue eyes. hehe he's adorable! soooo I was looking horrible that night lol my hair wasnt done, my make up was not done, i was in a hoodie and jeans. yup a complete mess. Somehow...he thought i was "pretty" lol amazing huh? and so that night i came home and he had added me as a friend on facebook. So we became friends... he picked me up on Wednesdays to go to institute together. [funny story: the 1st time he picked me up i sat in the back seat behind him....haha like dwight] oh yeah! he LOVES the office!
He asked me out on a date! we were talking on the phone and i was telling him how i always say no to dates. lol and he said "here's the real question...if i were to ask you out on a date, would you say yes?" and i told him "thats cheating" lol and then i said "i would say yes" sooo ta da. lol We went on our first date on Jan. 31, 2009 . We went to Applebees and then to his house, we watched The office outside with a bonfire and blankets. it was really nice. =] Soooo yeah. we kept hanging out...what really captured my heart was this one night when he dropped me off from eating at taco bell, i was getting out of his car and i said "im sorry for talking so much" and he said "steph, look at me...you can never talk too much because I enjoy listening to you" awww hehe and he said "I feel great when im around you" awwww. so ! that was much better than what edgar used to say to me..."shut up...u talk too much" jerk. lol soo he swept me off my feet! he's amazing. Our first kiss was after institute on Feb. 3, 2009! So..this is how he asked me to be his: We were at his house watching The office and he said "so how about we change our status...?" lol yes! on facebook...hahahaha so i gave him a kiss. and he said "i take that as a yes?
hehe he's so cute.
This past saturday we went to bowling against nay and her bf. hehe we WON! yup =]
