Surprise Birthday Party

Christopher's 27th birthday was this week!!  All day he was thinking that it didn't feel like his birthday because he had to work all day. He was shocked when he came home! I had put together a surprise birthday party with some friends from the area. The surprise turned out good and we all had a great time!!

Of all the millions of husbands I could have gotten,
I ended up with YOU BABE!! How's that for being lucky!!?
I love you and hope your birthday was special this year!!!
Twenty-Seven years (and counting) of good luck!!!

Date Night!

Life has been busy around here! Chris has been working a ton of overtime!! I've been busy as well with school and work. I'm taking 16 units this semester, 4 Architectural/Engineering classes and a Calculus class. Balancing projects has been a little difficult with teachers who decide on presentation day to change everything! Two teachers, same day!

On my way home from school the power went out on BART when I was on it! I called Chris and his crew who were finishing up their work day and let him know what was going on. A few minutes later his crew were called to work overtime and ended up being the PG&E crew to come out and fix the power!

Chris had a week off from emergency calls and was actually bored this last week! He's not used to coming home early and relaxing all evening! He didn't know what to do with himself while I was working and doing homework.

He ended up surprising me by showing up at my work at the end of my shift in a suit and tie and came and stood in my line. I couldn't believe it! Total shocker to see him since he had been gone almost constantly the weeks and month before!

Chris had gotten a hair cut, went to mall, got showered and dressed, and had come to pick me up for a hot date! On our date at Chili's he gave me a new wedding ring. Our waitress thought that he had just proposed, sooo funny!!

I love surprise date nights!!

Living On The Bay

Chris and I absolutely love our home! Living on the Bay is amazing! Whether it's sunny, breezy, rainy or cloudy it's always beautiful! The view is great, Oakland on the left and San Francisco on the right and the water view right in front of you! There is the Bay Trail and tons of parks, we live across from Rosie the Riveter Natl Park and right down the street from a 4 star restaurant, right on the water!

People keep asking for pics of our place so here they are! I got a lot of good deals and searched really hard for the nicest and cheapest place close to Chris's work! We were both really excited when I found this place!

2 bed/2bath with views and 2 minutes from his work, and it came in at the same price as all of the studio apartments in the same area without views! I love good deals!
