Aquabats and more!

Hello :)

I'm a horrible blogger...lol [not as bad as Ryan though...hehe] SOOOOOOOOO! I went to my very first Aquabats Show! oh....my.....goodness! their fans are CRAZY! lol there was a girl dressed up like pikachu. ?!?! yes...and she was handing out cookies! It was a very unique experience. lol I had fun! even though I got beat up in the crowd! lol :( my shoulder is bruised up! My arm has another bruise...im just sore all around! Ryan kept me company for most of the night, he only left me alone for like 3 songs. I just stood in the back...lol like a loser! but anyway, It was fun! :) Corndog went with us but we lost him as soon as they started playing. Overall: great experience!


School is going great! Speech is pretty easy, Marriage and Family is...common sense. I think as a member of the church, school seems easier! Speaking in public is no issue because the church encourages us to speak in public since primary! I feel very blessed :)

On a side note...I'm considering going back to my Spanish ward. It's not that I don't enjoy the singles ward. I love it there! But...I just feel so "at home" in my Spanish ward. So...I'm not sure, but its definitely a topic in my prayers :)

OH!!! Ryan and I are going to Utah for conference weekend!!!!!!! yay!!!!! it's going to be my first time!!! I'm soooo EXCITED! :) Michelle is coming with us, so it should be so fun! She's a sweetheart! We will be leaving on Thursday the 1st of October @ 3AM...and coming back on Monday. I got Ry and I some tickets for a BYU football game! yay! :) I'll take plenty of pictures!

Well....I'm off to bed. Im soooo tired! today was my long day.... :/

Good News: I know what I'm getting Ryan for Xmas! :)


LOVE,
Steph

SummerNights in DowntownCovina

Hello Friends :)



School started this past Monday!!! So far, it seems like it's going to be a smooth semester!

I'm taking: Speech, Marriage and Family, and Life & Career Planning. Ryan is in 2 of my classes! which is fun!!



Speech:

Our professor is really nice and entertaining! I think he's gay, which makes everything he does funny. lol :) The class isn't too bad, we have about 6 speeches throughout the semester, which as an LDS girl is nothing! lol I've been speaking in public since I was 11, so no biggy:) Ryan seems to enjoy it also. We had a pop quiz on our second day and I believe I should be recieving 100% on it. so I'm happy :) Ryan didn't do so well, but thats just because he didn't know what to expect, which is normal. We studied a little bit last night, I made him some flash cards!! Hopefully that will help him. We will be studying again tonight. :)



Marriage and Family:

Our professor for this class is really nice and friendly. She's been married twice which makes it interesting :) She's familiar with the do's and dont's of Marriage. This class will be very interesting, I've heard a lot of good things about it :) I'm excited!



Life and Career Planning:

This class is going to be really easy! The professor announced that he does NOT give a FINAL! which is very VERY rare! We will be reading The Last Lecture [ which I have already read] and The Alchemist. They both are easy reads. :) only bad thing is....its on FRIDAYS. lol but it's not bad I enjoyed it a lot! So, I'm looking forward to this semester!



Friday Night:

Ryan and I decided to get pupusas for dinner and after that we went to Downtown Covina for a Farmers Market. I LOVE downtown Covina! its so cute!!! and i looove how it feels like im on an episode of the Gilmore Girls. hahaha :) All I need is a super hot Dean...LOL jk I have my super handsome Ryan <3>

Saturday Night:

I went over to Ryan's house and we had dinner with his Wonderful Family!! We watched the Princess Bride!!! FINALLY! lol Ive been begging Ryan to watch it for about a month! and he kept saying he doesn't like chick flicks...but! he finally decided to watch it, and he enjoyed it!! :) its a classic! Sooooo that was our weekend!

Today:

I will be going over to Ryan's house to study and have dinner :) should be fun!

Well, its been great! ttyl!!!

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. =]

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!
