hello again

I haven't posted on here in forever!  I have good reasons, though.  We have finally gotten our trailer in semi-ship shape condition (on the inside, anyway) and we are ready to move in.  I worked my butt off (figuratively, unfortunately) with all the painting and cleaning in there and now it's almost all done.  there are just a couple more things to get done but they are things I cannot do; a professional is coming in for those few things.  So, we are going to start getting all packed up and moving things over.  I feel really positive about this change and think it is just the beginning of some great things in our lives.

Also, we had Kyle baptized today and it was a really special day!  He looked adorable and loved being the center of attention.

Last but not least, Robert's mom, Kyle's Grandma Campos, is visiting us for a few days.  She came down especially to see Kyle get baptized.

I will post pictures of all the above items when I get a chance.   OH, before I forget, the biggest reason I have not posted anything in so long is that our hard drive died.  I took our laptop to the Mac doctor but it could not be saved.  So it was there for a few days getting a new hard drive... the good news is that the hard drive they installed has more room, or gigs (sp?!) so that's cool but the bad news is that we lost everything that was on that computer... EVERYTHING.  It contained ALL the pictures from our wedding to now... 2 years of our married lives and the birth of Kyle gone.  So that was really upsetting.  Luckily I have pictures still on the camera that go back to April and I have a CD of all our wedding pictures and tons of pictures that I had sent to Costco for developing that go back to when Kyle was just born that I can scan onto this new hard drive.  Also, lost everything on iTunes... how do you get all that back?!  It's money we spent on tons of music and movies...  

As I said, I will post pics of our new place, Kyle's baptism, and anything else that is just plain cute and fun onto here asap!

Natalie and Ryen's wedding

Natalie, my best friend, got married on July 25, 2009 to Ryen, her air force honey :-)  They got married at the Kohl Mansion in Burlingame and it was a GORGEOUS wedding.  Her colors were navy blue and fuschia and it made for a colorful and warm event.  I was her Maid of Honor (she was my maid of honor, too!) and I was so happy for her and feeling a little emotional, as well.  We met 10 years ago in college and have been super close ever since.  We find the same dumb things funny, we have very similar hopes and dreams, values, interests and personalities.  I just love her!  She has become a part of my family as I have become a part of hers.  She asked me to sing as she walked down the aisle.  I sang Sea of Love, the Cat Power version, while my Uncle Tim played the guitar.  I gave a speech during dinner (I cried!) about how in 10 years we have gone from being young girls to grown women and have been side by side through every major milestone in eachother's lives.  I had an amazing time at her beautiful wedding and I can't wait for her to have babies!!   

Just married!

My mother made her veil, as she has made mine and my cousin's, as well!

Natalie and her mother, Susan.

Al, the cute father of the bride!

Us at dinner... I took this with my arm stretched out so my face is cut off... oh well, I still love it!

Natalie made these for the backs of their chairs out of wood.  I think they are so cute!

Since Ryen is in the Air Force, they made little planes out of wood and used them as place cards.  Such a great touch!

Her centerpieces were huge flower balls that were also hanging off of chairs in the ceremony.

This cake topper was the same one her grandparents used at their wedding about 60 years ago.

my late dinner

I just made the best salad!  I think I've had it before but I just am really into it!  It's all organic (I went to Trader Joe's today!) ingredients.  Spinach, strawberries, sliced and toasted almonds, and crumbled gorgonzola cheese with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing.  I love it!  I also had a chicken breast marinated in Soy Ve'.  Doesn't really go with the salad but is still yummy nevertheless!

Kit and Debbie's Wedding 7/11/2009

my wish list for how my new place would look...

I love this small kitchen... totally looks like the area my stove is in.

storage ideas for a small bedroom... I LOVE this room and we have really similar bedding...and I love that wall paper.  It may not be the most popular thing right now, but I love that 18th/19th century wall paper look SO much.  For our bedroom, just on the back wall behind our bed would be awesome!

Debbie's Tahoe Bachelorette and the Giants game!

Abuelita watched Kyle while we went to the Giants game.  Next time we'll take him :-)

On the way!

me and Natalie, the other soon to be bride!

Me and the bride to be!

All of the above pictures were taken with my cell phone because I couldn't find my camera charger!  I kind of like the Polaroid look of them, though.
