Hi there. My name is Russ…

My current favorite thing in the world is BUZZ! He’s cool…

I like all the other characters too, see? I have them all [on my head]…

One day I’m going to fly like Buzz…

But for now, I’m going to stay and play with Mommy and Daddy…

People say my smile is like Mommy’s…

… but that I look mostly like Daddy…

I like that. :)

Have you seen my brother?

He has the squishiest cheeks you ever saw…

He also has a pretty great smile!

He’s a great buddy…

We love him!

Thanks for stopping by. :) ‘The End’

Fairy Tale Romance

11 Jul

Can Fairy tales come true? I don’t know, but it sure feels like it!

Clark and I have been having a lot of fun lately. Having fun being spontaneous at a moments notice and taking random drives to random places and eating some pretty good food here and there. I think what makes the biggest difference to the romantic-like essence of the day is how you perceive it to affect you. Clark and I like to proclaim acts of spontaneity in the name of ‘romantic’. Like a drive to a distant city to go shopping, or a trip to the beach, or to our favorite park. It makes it more special, even if its something we just did the other day or this is the 30th time we’ve done this. :)

All these fun exciting things have really strengthened our love for one another. It helps remind us how important it is to look to the others needs and naturally you’ll receive whatever you need in return. Focusing on ‘whats in it for them‘ instead of ‘what’s in it for me’ is a key to happiness in any relationship I feel.

Sometimes Clark wants to go somewhere, but I’m right in the middle of something, or I’m really not feeling up to it. But I look into his eyes and see that he really needs to get out and I just bite the bullet and go. I almost always end up having just as much fun as he does! Having made the sacrifice, the romance just blossoms in front of our eyes, because he in turn meets my needs either that same day or later in the week because he was nourished by me fulfilling his needs and he naturally wants to do the same for me because the attraction of love is alive and active.

A few fun and romantic things we’ve done this week include:

  • Walks around our favorite park with a lake
  • A trip to Burbank Mall to purchase some cute clothes
  • Eating out at some restaurants we’ve never been to and discovered them as our new favorites! One is ‘Bill’s Hamburgers’, cute little hole in the wall, size of a snow-cone shack, has THE BEST hamburgers in LA! SOOOooooo good!
  • Spontaneous trip to the beach yesterday, SO fun! We played in the waves, sat and had lunch on the beach and watched the people. Extremely fun day!
  • Staying in after shopping for some healthy snacks at Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s, curled up in a comfy blanket together and watching a chick flick is another favorite thing to do for us. This week we watched Dear John. We LOVED it!
  • Clark serenaded me with the guitar the other night. Oh, swoooon ♥♥♥♥

I really love this guy. I’m one lucky woman. ♥

A Night Out with Our Landlord

7 Jul

The thought of this makes me giggle…. how many times do you hear of a couple going out to dinner with their Apartment Landlord and his wife? Certainly I would have never thought that we would. But I must tell you, it was quite fun!!!

It all came about after our Landlord knocked on our door a few weeks back with a question about his camcorder. Clark is very handy with camera’s and so he decided that he would help our Landlord out by not only telling him his camcorder is no good (it was a cheap personal home recorder) – especially not for what they were doing. His wife was auditioning for Oprah’s show. Clark offered to use one of his HD Camera’s to record the audition tape for him. How kind, I know! ♥  :)

So, after quite a few hours of this, they requested that we let them take us out for dinner. We went to an African Bar called Springbok. Clark got a ribeye steak and I got salmon fish ‘n chips. I am telling you – the food was AMAZING! We LOVED it!

We talked and talked and talked, laughed and told several stories. It was SO fun!

We are so lucky to have really kind and personable Landlords. It helps us feel safe and our Apartment that much more of a home. :)

Bright Colors

Never thought the day would come where I would wear BRIGHT colors. But with change in personality / outlook on life – comes change in appearance I have found. What do you think of the green? :)
