Cousin Ed

My cousin Eddie gave us an impromptu visit on Sunday after Christmas.

He rode down from Provo with my uncle Dan on his new motorcycle.

Those crazy men. 

We played games with my family, and had Ed over to play brawl on the wii.

He looks so enthralled.

Anyway, it was fun catching up with him!

He's only a few months older than me, so we're tight. =}

This Is As Close As I'm Getting To Snow This Christmas.

They're miles and miles away,

but I love how we could see some snow on the mountains a few days ago.

It has since melted, but we hope to get some more this weekend. =)

Colbie Caillat & Jason Reeves

Colbie & Jason are good friends.

He was playing at Zoey's Cafe in Ventura last night

and he invited Colbie to watch him perform.

{She even tweeted about it...

"I'm at Zoey's in Ventura, Ca watchin my good friends Jason Reeves and

Brendan James play a show, eating yummy food and drinkin good wine!"}

Well, of course he wasn't going to let her sit

on the sidelines without having her sing,

so here they are singing a duet called "Droplets."

Colbie introducing the song.

Janet Carlson gave me two free tickets. {score!}

and I invited Hayley to come with me.

We didn't know for sure that Colbie would be there.

But she was.

And our table was two feet from the stage.

It was really an unbelievable night.

Makes me want to take advantage of where I live.

I'm so close to so many cool places!

Disneyland, Hollywood, LA, Montecito, Santa Barbara...
I need to live it up in socal before we move away.

Thankfully, we just renewed our lease for 17 months.

I love Camarillo!

Package

I received a call at work last week.

It was Franco, saying that I had received a large package.

How exciting!!

I couldn't wait to go home and open it!

It was from Liv,

a giveaway from her 2 year blog-iversary.

I got home and started to open it...

there were so many cool things in there!

Liv was extremely generous with her giveaway. It was like opening Christmas presents in September!

I just couldn't believe it.

Thanks, Liv.

And congrats on doing so well keeping up with your wonderful blog!
