its been a while~

Well its beens a while since my last post. many things have been happening!
first off:
lyla is crawling!!!!! and she is into EVERYTHING! we have to watch watch her every minute of the day until she goes to sleep! she also wants to stand up all the time. she will pull herself up from the couch, chair, your leg, or whatever else is around that she thinks she might can pull up on! so the fun times have begun!!! other than that she is just growning like a weed! when i came back from california, i think she had gained 5 pounds and grew a couple of inches as well!

speaking of california!
lets see, we (me, alex and my mom) left raleigh on wednesday night at 7:50pm and arrived at LAX around 11ish. the flight actually went good. of course i couldnt sleep bc i was real nervous about a night time flight. and since this was only my second time flying i was super nervous! anywho. on thursday was just chilled out in the room and my friend iriany came over from san diego and we ate lunch and walked aroung anahiem for the afternoon! on friday, we took a hollywood tour. i was not impressed with that tour. we got caught in a little bit of traffic and so the tour only last about 40 mins. we saw the stars on the street and the hand and good prints and the hollywood sign and then that was it. we didnt even get to shop for anything! so i was a little disappointed that we didnt have time to see more! HOWEVER, we did see 2 celebrities; ironman and bumble bee!!! hahah LMAO! oh and then that night we went to the anaheim angels baseball game! it was a great game. we all got t shirts and gifts for johnny since that is favorite team of all time! i wish he could have been there-
anywho on saturday we took a california riveria tour. first we went to newport beach and drove a little boat around the harbor. it was sooooo nice!!! we saw a lot of yatchs, and big houses. we also saw john waynes former residence, however the people who have now bought it, has double to the size to 12,000 sq feet!!! so it was HUGE~ beside johns house, used to be nicolas cages house! it was anything too special but it was rather large as well. a little further down the way we saw 2 sea lions on the back a boat, just chillin out! they were so cute! then we went to laguna beach. we ate at this amazing pizza place! then went shopping and walked around to see the place . it was a cool place! but i would love to have a place at newport beach!
well anywho, then on sunday, we just chilled. we slept late, then packed our stuff and went to the mall to waste time until it was time to go back to the airport.
iriany and milledge joined us at the mall and it was so great to see them and her baby bump :) i surely miss my best friend! :(
but anywho we went back to the hotel and picked up our bags and took a taxi to the airport and waited for our flight to leave LAX at 10:50pm.
needless to say, i am still jet lagged! i was so tired when we got off that flight. i didnt really sleep the whole way home. but monday i got a little bit of sleep but i was too excited to be home to see lyla and johnny so i didnt really sleep like i needed to .
but the trip was so fun! and we had a great time. but i dont want to ever leave my little family like that again! next time, they shall go with me!!!!

well last night was my last night of organizational managment class. i have next week off and then i start cis 300. this weekend we are also attending many things, we are attending our dear friend matts memorial service on saturday, then that night we are taking lyla and going to see the issacs sing. then on sunday we will go to church and then meet up with matts family to put out a cross in his memory. my heart and prayers are still with his family as this loss for them will remain a hard uphill battle. but i pray they find comfort in the time and good memories they had with him.

well i must go.....
