Huge life update!

Hey everyone! I know I have not updated in forever but I've been super busy with working and things like that but I'm trying to get back on top of it. I will also be updating my store too with Christmas goodies! So this post is basically going to be a bunch of pictures with what I've been up to lately! If you want to see any certain blog posts, please let me know!

1. October 30th, Christian and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary! I don't have any pictures but he took me out to eat at Irvine Spectrem and it was really great!

2. On our anniversary weekend, we ventured to Peterson Car Museum in LA. Christian loved it because he loves cars so much. I really enjoyed it too because as you can see in the very last picture I am standing in front of Janye Mansfield's car so I was super excited. 

3. Hannah and I went on quite the adventure to Signal Hill park and then the pike. And us being us, we decided why not throw a photo shoot in there? 

4.  I made these amazing cinnamon rolls for my bible study!

5. One of my best friends Haley works at Disneyland so sometimes I get to go for free. This time I invited Christian and his best friend Austin. It was so tiring but so much fun. I am considering purchasing a pass so I'm pretty excited about that. 

That's it for my huge update. Thank for you bearing with me! I'm gonna try my best to update more! Let me know if you wanna see anything. Also keep a lookout for new items in my store.

Bass Lake!

For my summer vacation I went to Bass Lake with Christian's family and our friend Austin. Bass Lake is right near Fresno and Yosemite so we went there as well. I really do wish I would have taken more pictures but my camera died in the beginning and I was pretty busy the entire week. 

So our first stop was this really cute ice cream place called Dewar's. It reminded me of a 50's diner. I got peanut butter fudge ice cream and it was amazing. 

Now I really wish I got more pictures of this place because it was really cool. It was like a farm/antique market/cheese factory. 

This is the beautiful Bass Lake. 

All these pictures were taken at Yosemite National Park, it's now my new favorite place ever. 

This is the 6 hour ride home. I had a great time but I'm glad to be home. I have a lot of orders on my shop to catch up on and a new job! I am currently working at this pizza place called Pieology. It's like Subway for pizza. So I'll try my hardest to keep posting.

Night Adventures!

Hey everyone! Sorry again for my lack of posting. I don't really have an excuse except that it is summer and I'm trying to do as many things as possible instead of just sitting at home. So anyway, I bought Christian a kite for his birthday in April and we have only gotten to use it twice so we thought why not? It didn't really make it up in the air very well and I got really cold so we decided to leave early. 

Isn't he the cutest?! <3

What I'm wearing:

- Floral dress / Kohls

- Hair bow / My shop 

- Cable knit sweater / Hand me down from Hannah

- Bag/ Kohls

- Boots / Doc Martens

Speaking of my shop, it is very much up and running so you should totally check it out! I hope everyone is having a great and fantastic summer and I'll try to post more.

All About Christian!

So this post is going to be all about my amazing boyfriend Christian! If you don't want to see a whole post about a girlfriend talking about her boyfriend then I suggest you just leave now. 

How we met:

I met Christian in September of 2008 on my first day of  junior year in high school, and his sophomore year (Yes I am one year older!). Our mutual friend Zack introduced us that day and all three of us would hang out and then he asked me to formal and we have been together on/off for almost 5 years!

Facts about Christian:

- He is half Japanese/half white.

- He loves to paintball, he is on the paintball team at his college.

-He is an eagle scout. 

- He loves old school rap like Ice Cube and Luniz.

- His favorite movie is Wayne's World.

- He loves to go to the aquarium. 

Christian's Relationship Advice:

- "Respect your woman and she will love you forever"

- "women are like traffic and it flows really good but sometimes it's horrible"

- "don't fret over the small stuff"

- "saying 'I love you' still means a lot"

- "alyssa is always master in commander"

So yeah I hope you enjoyed my small blog post about Christian! If you want to know anything else about him, just ask!

Update!

Hey guys!

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been super busy lately. I'll let you know what's going on with me though! I recently got a job at a dollar book store and I've been working every other day. I love it so much. I work by myself usually and I help people find books and I'm also a cashier. It's pretty far away and it takes two buses but it's worth it. I also have been busy with school because finals are coming up. But other then that everything is good! Here are a hodge podge of pictures of my life lately but excuse the crappy iPod pictures because I didn't have time to grab my camera.

Christian and I went to Seal Beach and got greek food and ate it by the beach and watched the sun go down. It was super great!

The other night I went to Christian's house and we walked his dog Cooca. It was so nice out, we decided that we're gonna make time to do it once a week. She is the sweetest dog ever!

At the bookstore I work at, not only do I get 25% off the entire store but I also get one free book a week! So I chose this Marilyn Monroe book with so many pictures I've never seen of her before!

I also recently had boba with my friend Jason from high school!

So I'm aware this post is kinda random and such but I just wanted a quick update on what's going on with me. I'll hopefully post more when I have the time. Have a great weekend everyone!

The bookstore plays Frank Sinatra Pandora radio station all day, everyday!
