just hangin with Teemu

I have been a huge fan of the hockey for a while. Specially, The Anaheim Ducks and Teemu Selanne. Not very many people understand, especially in southern California.  Most people are into baseball( gag me) or football (meh). I can't wait until the season starts(if there is no lockout ) so I can get my fix and get to some games. 

So I got insanely lucky over the weekend. I got to meet, talk to and hug Teemu Selanne(!!!!). Blake and I went to the Fedorin cup-a charity Hockey game. It felt so good to watch some real hockey, even if it wasn't a real game. We snuck down to where the players were hanging out during the intermission and blake spotted Teemu.  I kinda froze up but knew I had to get a picture and finally get my jersey signed. He was beyond nice, and I completely geeked out. His broken english was too much. 

he was so patient, funny and nice.

yep, that's his hand on my shoulder

legit

I think I was still shaking

Oldies but goodies

I was scrolling through pictures and was reflecting on some good times from this month at the fair and whatnot...

Seattle

We got to spend a week up in Seattle with Blake's family. It was super fun and we all got to stay in one big house rather than a hotel.  At night we all played games, watched our baby niece sleep and play with cardboard beer boxes, and ate so sooo much. Seattle is a pretty clean, fun city and we loved exploring every inch of it.  It was a little crazy with 11 of us, trying to get into small restaurants and navigating the busy streets but we managed and it made it fun dealing with all the craziness.  My family is pretty spread out and sorta small so hanging with Blake's family was so fun, even with a little bit of sensory overload.

Summer so far..

So far summer around here has been pretty fantastic. 

 We've had a few parties, and way weird but fun High school reunion. We got drug to the reunion, but it was surprisingly crazy and fun and I was blow away with all the randoms being so friendly. We stayed out way too late and had to ride bikes home at dawn. oops. 

Anyway, I have also been loving the random dog beach days and running around in the waves with my pup. I do love the winter and sweater weather, but summer has been busy and fun.

                                            My brother hooked us up with fresh fruit drinks for my grad party.                                        

                                             Love these ladies and brother.
 

They made me.

Most recently we went Seattle! We went to visit Blake's family for a few days over the 4th and before our first anniversary in Palm Springs. We are still recovering from all the family action, non stop eating and cruising around the city. More pictures later!

Oh hi summer !

Park picnics and bonfire hang outs the past three weekends have left me with 0 complaints.
