I wanna do this!!!!

It makes my heart happy, it makes me happy. 

I want to practice this.

For the wedding. 

   And do it.

                   At the reception!

And who doesn't like Hall& Oats. 

Its like saying you dont like the Isley Brothers or The Mamas & The Papas.

Plus, I mentioned before that I have always always wanted to be a part of a Flashmob. 

This could be my version. 

Plus, This would be much better than my original idea to do at the wedding....

Day 19- Nicknames you have & Why you have them

#1.
Angel. I think my brother may have given me this name without realizing that he was creating a name that would stick with me for life. I dont mind it because, hello, I am in fact an Angel. He and my mom call me that. Weird enough my sister and pop only call me Angela. 

#2.
I have one cousin that calls me Ang. I dont know why because no one else does but I dont mind it. 

#3.
My Uncle Tito used to call me Mom. Even typing that makes me wanna cry. 

#4.
Mr Lopez calls me babe, sweetheart, or my love. Sometimes even Love of My Life. It can be a little winded but hello I really am the love of his life. If I were a Princess you wouldn't get to call me just Angela. It would have to be Princess Angela. Only seems right. 

#5. 

Theres these two little kids that run around here and call me Mom. Whats that all about? It seems to have stuck I guess so I dig it. 

I like having nicknames for people. 

If a person introduces themselves to me with a different name than what it really is, I will forever call them that. I also associate people with other people of the same name. For example, Shane is Shane West. Give me a name, and I will give you 10 people of the same name with different last names. Very weird. Its one of my many "Rain Man" qualities that I have. :)

One great day date...

Day dates are my fave. 

On this day I had a particularly special day date which a chick I particularly fancy. I surprised her with a photo shoot of just the two of us. Something special that we will both have. And I hate to admit it {no i dont} we are by far the most gorgeous-est girls ever. 

Don't lie, you know its true!

Theres about 100 more. But this just give you an idea of how much fun it was and how photogenic we are!

Thanks to alisoncolleen.blogspot.com for taking these amazeballs pics. And thanks to Mesa Arts Center for not throwing us out of the water. And thanks to my sister for enjoying this great day with me.

Day 18- Goals and dreams you have

Finishing school. 

Raising my kids.

Then get a good career. I want to finish my degree and maybe start with fashion design school. It would be completely awesome if I can just do that. My ultimate dream of course everyone knows, fashion designer. But anything in fashion will do.

My goal is to just be able to be successful enough so that when my kids get older they think its cool how successful I am.

I guess thats why its a dream as well.

Day 17- Someone I would want to switch lives with for 1 day and why

Bethenny Frankel.  I love her show. Love her books. Love her! Besides the fact that she is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! She was always my favorite of them all on RHONY, and now that she is gone, it’s not the end of the world if I miss an episode. Goodness though, if I were to miss an episode of “Bethenny Ever After” I dont know what I would do. I don’t even want to think about it!

I her little family. Bryn is just....BEYOND the cutest tiniest baby girl ever. And Jason is just a Hotty McHotStuff himself, which that in itself makes the show even easier to watch! I love how fast paced she is. Her life is always go, go, go. Even when she talks she is like the energizer bunny or something. Or that guy from those Micro Machines commercials! Seriously.  I really do not know how she does it. 

(I tried to photoshop my pic in)

From her self made business, to her books, family, and filming, there cannot possibly be enough time in the day. I swear she has a secret and I am dying to know how she manages to live her normal life. Another reason I would like to switch is that she has the sweetest in-laws ever. They are by far salt of the earth, love with all they have people. I love my future in-laws to death as well, but I can guarantee that there is not one person in the world that would not love to have The Hoppy’s as their family. True Story. 

Number one reason, she is just an inspiration. She is a real person, with a real life, and is a good hearted honest person. She has worked her butt off to get where she is and has never let anything stop her. Plus, although I have never been to New York, I wanna know how she lives with her family, nanny, stylist, and Julie in that TINY apartment!! 


We could be best friends. Ahh, if only she knew.

It hit me...I'm moving.

This past Sunday was a day to celebrate the engagement of Steven and I. 

It was also our goodbye to our family here in Arizona. I know that we are going to see them in a few months at our wedding. However, when that is all said and done I am still going to be living somewhere completely different.

It was a nice turn out and my family had provided such a great spread of food and beverages for the family to enjoy. You can tell that there was a tremendous amount of effort and love put into all aspects of this party. As my loving, supportive family asked me about the move, the new house and the wedding, I just kept focused on it being an engagement party because I did not want to face the facts. 

IM LEAVING!!!

There were a few instances where I had to hold back the emotions. It really didnt come until the end of the evening I was reading the cards that people had given us. One in particular and it the water works finally made their appearance. I started thinking about all the people that I am leaving behind. My brother and sister in law who are two of the awesomest people. They make things fun, interesting and tell it like it is. 

My lovely sister ya'll know lifeat554.blogspot.com, made some great cupcakes, so I heard. I did not get any of them as the Groom-to-be ate 11 of the dozen. Anyways, neither here nor there. She also made us 3 mix tapes! (As per a previous blog ya'll know how much i dig those!!)  From the first song that I put on, I just really lost it in the car ride home. Like couldnt breathe or talk or anything. 

Lets not even go there right now, its just too much to think about and I am going to have to redo that all over again come 24 days from now. On the bright side I do look forward to random mix tapes showing up at my house. *hint hint*

There are so many other people that I am going to miss for various reasons. It is just too much to think about but they know they are in my heart and my mind. 

This Girl...

We shoulda had more of that.

The Spread of Food!

Stevens Cupcake Tier
