Seattle Bound!

The weekend prior to Valentine's Day..Mr. Southbay and I are headed up north to Seattle! We are super excited for another mini get-away! Has anyone been there and recommend places to see and do?!

We are staying at the beautiful Seattle Marriott Waterfront hotel.  Downtown in the middle of everything! We have a relative that works for Marriott who hooked us up with a great deal! We will be there for three nights!

Our list of things to see and do...

1. Space Needle- do dinner or just drinks? I have heard mixed reviews.

2. Pike Place Market

3. Starbucks! 1st original store!

4. Nordstroms! 1st original store!

5. Ferry to Bainbridge

I find myself adding to my bucket list...not exactly crossing anything off these days :) Oh well!

***I'm not sure why I didn't publish this posting! But since starting this post we have gone to Seattle and had a blast! Great food...amazing shopping and delicious restaurants!!!  Here are a few pictures from our weekend!

Here is Starbucks!

The famous Market! Tons of seafood, produce and flowers!

One of our many amazing views from our hotel...

Dinner at the Space Needle! I'm so glad we did this... everything was delicious! The view was amazing!

Yep, the clouds rolled in...wind arrived along with the rain! BUT I was able to use my new rainboots!!!

There is the Space Needle!

We met up with some family..which was so nice!!!!

Another great trip...and another scratch off the bucket list!

I'm Back With News!

I've decided to start this blog back up :) A LOT has happened since I last posted!

Enjoyed a nice weekend in Palm Springs!!!! Lovely place to vaca to...I could never live there! Super hot!!! We stayed at La Quinta Resort & Spa...Very nice!

In June we did a Mud Run together :) His first..my 2nd!

July was filled with tons of parties and my Mother came out to visit! This was definitely a good month! We took her to Malibu Vineyards!

On August 6th, we found out I am PREGNANT! what?! 

Were you expecting this!?

Yes, our Little Darling is 11 1/2 weeks old today! Only a couple more days and we are thru our 1st Trimester already!  I honestly can't believe that I am pregnant...It is still sinking in...that by next spring we are going to be parents!

So, that is a quick recap on us!!! 

We started a simple blog over on www.thebump.com to keep our family updated but I think I will continue over here to have opportunity to journal this amazing journey we are heading into! I'm hoping to connect with other expecting Mothers and learn as much as I can!! 

We haven't' taken a photo of my belly yet! I keep forgetting! So, this is definitely on my things to do list!

It feels good to be back!

Taking A Break..

I am soo happy to say that I have been super busy lately! Blogging has come to a stand still...its definitely an outlet for me... a way for me to keep track of what we have been up to...I will be back..when I am ready...until then I will be keeping up with my Coast To Coast Blog. Blogging about anything that puts a smile on my face! Couldn't post without a picture!!

Click here to get your hands on one!

Not sure why I am so obsessed with cupcakes but I am :)

Want My Look?

You like my 30th birthday outift? You can have it too! Just click on over to Rent The Runway!

I saw this.. and checked to see if it was available for my birthday weekend. 

This is a Camilla and Marc. Cost $598.00, I rented it for $75! 

I also rented the necklace by Cara Accessories. $68, I rented it for $10!

Here you go!

The pic below shows the extra fabric on the right shoulder. It was really hot in the club..and the fabric didn't breathe very well! That was the only bummer. 

Otherwise, I LOVED the romper! 

I had tons of compliments and no doubt it was perfect for my 30th! 

I paired the outfit with black platform leather strappy shoes..here is a pic below, mine are on the left! I got them at Nine West. Super comfy for being super high heal platforms!

When I typically only wear a dress one time out to the clubs..why not just rent the dress?! Especially for a special occasion! My girlfriend got me hooked...she normally rents a $50 dress whenever she has a wedding to attend..If you want to try it out I can send you a friend email, giving you $20 dollars off your first rental! Let me know! Rent The Runway makes it soo super easy!!

I Turned 30...

Lastnight we celebrated my big 3-0 birthday!!

Yep, it was a great night!!!! Turning 30 wasn't that hard after all...  :)

Birthday Party-Tiffany's Theme

Here is a quick peak at the beautiful dessert table that was created for my 30th birthday party yesterday! It was stunning!!

Photos by The Couture Cakery

Oh I felt like a kid in a candy store!! Kept peaking around the corner to watch Jasmine from The Couture Cakery create the table! It was such a fun day! I will be posting more pictures soon!!!

Having a wonderful time with family & friends...and of course with KINGSTON!!!
