better days.

About a month ago,

our dear friends Amelia and Andrew made a day trip to our little beach.

They were getting married in a couple weeks,

& needed to escape for a day.

+ Amelia & I had a little bit of wedding organizing to do ;)

First stop was Pelon's...

Our favorite SoCal taco joint at the oceanfront.

Pelon' Famous Fish Taco

My favorite - Carne Asada Tacos

 We introduced Amelia to the glory of the Fish taco.

 The Boys:

We spent a little bit of time in the sand,

& popped into Ocean Eddie's for an afternoon beer & cocktail.

(Because we're fancy like that.)

 Headed back to Chesapeake in time to kidnap our favorite Allison for dinner!

Dinner planned, shopped for and grilled by our wonderful boys.

& all we had to do was sit & look pretty.

--Steak Shish Kabobs & Bacon Wrapped Scallops on the grill--

 It was a pretty perfect day with some pretty & perfect friends.
We are HUGE ameliaandrewallison fans.

& in the midst of a 18 days of work stretch for me 

& a closing (at work) almost every night for him...

reminiscing lazy, friend-filled days is a necessity.

dreamin'

Two nights ago, I had a dream about the birth of our first baby.

I thought it was a boy.

(I still think it will be.)

Jared thought it was a girl.

(He always has.)

It was a girl.

Last night, as we were falling asleep,

Jared kissed me goodnight.

j: Sweet dreams.

k: I hope I dream about our first little baby again.

j: Me too. I love her so much already. 

You hear that, future babies?

YOU ARE LOVED ALREADY.
