So much to do in so little time!

Once again I have neglected to blog! I am sure you all understand....(right? :))

Well where to start? Mike is graduating with his Bachelors from Fresno State this Saturday and we are having a party the same day! If you want to come shoot me an email! Anyway his degree is in Biology with an emphasis in Physiology and Anatomy. Our dear friend Cynthia Contreras is also graduating with him! We went to the Bio Department Banquet last Thursday. So here are a few pictures...

Mom & Dad Truck, Mike and I

Mike's Advisor, Mr. Prince
He introduced Mike at the Banquet and was laughing so hard during Mike speech that he had stopped! Mike always the funny guy! His speech was funny and sweet ;)

I just love Cynthia! We had a great time!

The Banquet was very special and I am so proud of my husband! With all this Graduation jazz we are also having Revival with the Abbots starting Wednesday night! We are very excited for what God has been doing! 

A date with my hubby and our little secret!!!

Since we have been married life has been so fast paced. I work at the Court House and as a Secretary for our Church. Mike is in his last semester at Fresno State taking Organic Chemistry (That itself can kill someone.) He is also the Youth Pastor and works in between studying and going to school.

Most of our weekends consist of cleaning the house and Mike studying madly!!! So this weekend, Mike took me on a romantic date. He also got me flowers!

Saturday was a lazy day. To start off our day, we made strawberry and banana smoothies. My little sister,  Shadi came over for awhile (which she does most weekends, because she loves to go to Church with us on Sundays). During all of this Mike was outside making raised vegetable boxes for our garden. 

We then got dressed and went to Cafe 225. Has anyone been to Downtown Visalia on a Saturday night??? I love our Downtown! Cafe 225 is an elegant restaurant and I was thrilled he took me there (:

Our food looked and tasted AMAZING! Mike had steak and I had chicken, but wow...his steak was scrumptious! The best part was that we saved $22. Our whole tab came to $15 before tip and $21 after!

Ladies and Gentlemen here is our secret....

Cherie came over to visits good ol' Visalia. She got her bridesmaid dress for wedding and it looks so good! We are soo excited! We tried to look for some shoes but we didn't find any. We had a blast though! I am so sad she is leaving.



and after she left I had......

My 1st Panic Attack!

As you all know it is almost 3 months until the big day. I am not going to lie, I am VERY stressed. Summer is going by way too fast! So Saturday night I went to sleep. I woke up and started thinking "I NEED TO DO MY INVITATIONS! I have 3 more months left! AHHHH!!!" I checked the time and it was 6 am and I thought I need to go to sleep. So that was it.

Mike is leaving for Teen Camp today....

Teen Camp is tomorrow and Mike is going as a counselor. Since I work I wont be able to go. However if anyone is going up there on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday  let me know.

Wedding update:

My outfit is almost complete! I am so excited! However I still have a lot to do!

Pacific Coast Camp 2010

This year was very special for Mike and I! It was our last year as campers! We rooted proudly for the campers this year and a staff member seeing our enthusiasm asked, "Who are you rooting for next year?" We both started shouting, "GOOOO STAFF!!!" We both had a blast! We can't wait next year to go as staff!

pictures to come :)

Pacific Coast Camp 2010

      Well, where to begin? CAMP was AMAZING this year! the preaching, fellowship, recreation, attitudes, food.... were all great! I hope every young person left the camp saying "I refuse to be a part of another generation". I will be posting more pictures, but here is just a few. p.s. got any camp stories? I LOVE CAMP STORIES :-)

THE THEME OF PACIFIC COAST CAMP 2010

Bro. Davis preached and handed out party hats, symbolizing that we needed to have

a Holy Ghost PARTY!!)
