It's plain and simple

It's a Matter of FACT:

I am SO in LOVE with my Handsome Man, Ryan Ferrante.

I feel like the luckiest girl in all the universes!

That was all... :)

(Insert Creative Title Here)

I am So bad at coming up with creative titles! I read other blogs and they have the cutest titles! so...forgive me. lol I'll work on it!

As you can see... I had a fun weekend! So let me update on my 3day weekend!
On Friday, We went to the Farmers Market and walked around, bought some kettle corn, and just enjoyed the atmosphere :) after that we went to the football game! It was SO fun! the whole time, covina was loosing....and Ryan kept cheering for W. Covina. THEN in the last 3 minutes, we score 3 touchdowns! AMAZING! I love my Colts! :)

On Saturday, The DaddyOs and the Dolls were performing at the Orangewood ward end of the summer sooo we were busy most of the day :) It went great! I made a DVD with all the footage and it looks GREAT! After the BBQ, we went to drop off the equipment at Ry's house. Vanessa and Eric decided to go to dinner with us, so we did! we went to Dalia's Pizza :) It was so fun! We LOVE them! Dates with them are always fun! [Today is Vanessa's Bday so I'm excited! She's having a taco man :)]
On Sunday, it was our 19 monthaversary! Yup! ONE year and SEVEN Months! we were originally not going to do anything, since it was on a Sunday. But then! I got epiphany during sacrament, GO TO THE TEMPLE. So we did :) We went to the LA Visitor's Center! It's so gorgeous! We loved it! We later went to Ry's house and played hand an foot with his mom and sis :)
On Monday, we had planned to have breakfast at Bailey's and then go to Descanso Gardens, but! On our way to Descanso Gardens...we changed our mind! So after 7 freeways, we were in LA. We went to the LA Fashion District. Ryan loved it! it's so ghetto, I wanted to use the restroom and they charged me 25 cents for a seat cover! lol. We had fun :) After that we went to Ry's house and had a bbq with his family :) Sooo that was my fun 3 day weekend!

Last night we went to a Hispanic night at my ward and watched a few performances, and after that we went to dinner :) I loove spending time with my bumbo!

Today, we're gunna go to Vanessa's bday party and have fun with them :)

I'm gunna get going...byee!

Three day weekend!

I am so happy to have a three day weekend! So far the plans are as follows:
Friday: Downtown Covina Farmers Market and a Covina Vs. West Covina High school football game! [Ry went to West Covina, and I went to COVINA!]
Saturday: Ry's band [Daddy-Os and the Dolls] are playing at a picnic! so fun :)
Sunday: Church, Relax, Family :D
Monday: I think Ryan wants to go somewhere, but I dont know where! I think the beach.

So I'm excited! :)

We're in September?! WHAT?!

I still can't believe we're in September! where did August go? lol

So, just to update you guys, my mom LOVED her gift! She had a great birthday! We ended up going to Mayumba's Cuban Cuisine, it's this place in Rosemead that is SO delicious! They have a live band playing salsa, merengue,bachata, etc. they are really good! People actually get up and dance! [Ry and I danced a few songs] hehe :) And the food, oh my goodness! I ordered their house steak, which is the Mayumba Steak. It was SO amazing! It was probably the most tender and most flavor-full steak I've ever had! It's served with fried bananas, rice, and beans. I highly recommend it! But, if you're planning on going on a weekend, you HAVE to make reservations, and if you go after 7:30, there is a $20 cover charge per person. I thought it was worth it!

Now, onto the gifts! My mom got a lot of great gifts this year! She got an HP Mini Laptop, A Kodak Digital Camera, A new LG Cell phone, Benefit Make up, Bare Minerals Make up, Victoria's Secret Lotion and make up, and some cash $$$! lol :) she had a really good birthday! She was very happy to have her little family there!

 

Tania and I at Amy's wedding!

Amy's wedding was SO fun! They had the IN N OUT truck there! And the decorations were so cute! There was a live band that was great! :) Overall, great time! On our way home, Ry got a flat tire :/ He repaired it and used the spare, but then the spare went crazy and had no air! Sooo after a long time, my sister's bf came and he fixed it! :) yay! We had planned on going to a dance...but that didn't happen. It's ok though! So, that's what that weekend was all about!

After much consideration...

I'm gunna keep my blog public! My friend Tay suggested I keep it public :)
And the facebook-free life is going great. I'm considering getting it again, but just checking it once a day. So, we'll see! For now, I'm good! Ry and I went to Claim Jumper tonight...SO yummy!!! I love it! I didn't go to work today...I wasn't feeling well at all! I get really bad cramps, and when I say bad...I mean BAD! I throw up, I can't get up, I sometimes get a fever, I'm extremely cold, etc. It's bad. So I stayed home and rested. A while back I bought a frozen meal from P.F. Changs, I was hesitant to buy it because I don't normally buy or eat frozen meals, but this frozen meal was Amazing! It was the broccoli beef platter. yumm. I even ate the BROCCOLI! lol I usually don't...So! I highly recommend it! It's a bit pricey, I think I paid $7 for the bag, but it was enough for 3-4 meals. 

I'm looking forward to this weekend! On Friday, we have Amy and Adam's wedding!!! I'm so excited! and on Saturday, we're celebrating my mom's 42nd birthday! I'm probably going to buy her a netbook so that she can chat with my grandma that lives in Mexico. If I do, I'll post pictures! 

Everything with Ry is going great! we went to a fireside last night and it was AMAZING! The topic was marriage...usually I'd know exactly what the speaker is going to say, but not this time! it was a really good talk!

Well, That's that! Thank you for reading! :)

No More FB..

Hello +

This is going to sound incredible, but I've deactivated my facebook! Yes! Isn't that crazy? So let me explain why...I was at work on Friday and one of the first things I do is check my facebook. So I started to think "wow...that's sad" lol and then when I logged on I decided to go to my page and it was amazing how much activity I had on my page. It was an endless list of "Stephanie commented on..." bla bla bla. And I scrolled down and noticed that friends never write back! So I started evaluating... And i decided that I don't NEED a facebook to keep in touch with friends, on the contrary I should be a little more active when it comes to interacting with friends. So I deleted it. And now...I wake up and actually GET UP! lol For example, this morning I woke up, cleaned my room and took my little cousins to buy a backpack at the mall. That was so fun! :) If I were to have my facebook, I would have woken up, logged on, browsed around, uploaded some pics..etc. But not anymore! And my mind is so...at ease. I love it! So I've decided that with all this spare time I'm going to read my scriptures, exercise, and socialize. So far, I love it. And of course I miss being nosy, but it's nice to break a habit! :) Another thing that encouraged me to get rid of it is that I would see so many posts of friends that would post personal thoughts and it drove me crazy! so, now I don't go crazy! lol Because I'm not exposed to those things. Ryan couldn't believe that I actually did it, but I did! He said "you should get it again...I'll post things on your wall" lol. Anyways, that's that! I got a new cell phone! My contract with AT&T finally ended!!! and Ry offered to add me to his family plan. I know, big step. lol Soo I have a new number! it's so crazy! I've had my old number for 5.5 years!! but it feels good to have a new number :) Change is good.
Yesterday, Ry took me to Cafe Rio! We had to drive all the way to Manhattan Beach! and on our way home, we stopped by Plaza Mexico. It's an outdoor shopping center with cute crafts from Mexico.

I bought this super cute handmade purse! I had a lot of fun! Ry is a really sweet man :) I'm so lucky to have him as my boyfriend! Well, I'm gunna get going, we're going to Krystian's homecoming dinner at 4 pm!
