I cannot believe it has been a year since my last post! In an effort not to bore every reader, I've only posted a few highlights of fun engagements we've had and job/school updates! Here goes -
Allyson and Brian Got Married!!
From the rehearsal dinner...
To the Friday night BBQ...
To our mini bachelorette party...
To the Wedding Day...
I've never seen a more beautiful wedding and it was made perfect by the fact that it was for the world's nicest and most caring couple in the world. I'm glad I was able to share this experience with the both of you!
I turned 26!!
Kyle and I took a trip to the world-famous Gilroy Garlic Festival...
Then came payback for my surprise party for Kyle, I got a surprise birthday crown and cake with all of our favorite San Jose friends...
A weekend trip to Lake Tahoe with Drew and Michelle!
We raced to beat traffic to make it to the Rascal Flatts concert...
Then fished for our own crawfish and had a delish dinner, among casino visits and tanning by the lake...
Oktoberfest, Santa Clara U style!
Stein holding competition...needless to say, I did not win.
Halloween fun with the family! (And a visit from my dear friend Cassidee!)
Clara dressed up as a dinosaur...
We traveled the neighborhood like celebrities...
And managed to have time to give back to the Boys and Girls Club by helping make signs for their Halloween Carnival...
Work Christmas Party!
Tara and I spent all night making these beautiful sweaters for everyone to wear. Our team was definitely the life of the party...
Fast forward through a whole season at my new job...I finished off the academic school year with a bang. I brought lots of new ideas to the table and had loads of fun doing it. Our trip to Vegas to culminate basketball season left our standing down to the last few seconds of our game against Gonzaga. Never a dull moment at Santa Clara University Athletics!
Dance Team...
Our new Spirit Squad...
I "met" (loose term) the Dalai Lama!!
Took a few weekend beach trips with family
Visited Tennessee for Michael and Deanna's Wedding and then traveled to Nashville with the family to sight see!!
Memphis sites...
The Wedding...
Nashville sites including downtown, the NFL stadium, Grand Ole Opry, and more!
Kyle turned 28!!
Wine tasting in the hills of Los Gatos...
And a fun dinner with friends...
I'd say our last year hasn't been too bad! Too many fun events to remember and Kyle is almost done with school! He is finally spending more time in the clinic working with real patients and is studying up for his last two board tests. He hopes to finish his patient hours before his Christmas break, where he will then move back to Colorado for his internship. I'll be sad to be away from him, but happy knowing that he is pursuing his dreams and getting close to graduation.
With more fun summer plans and by birthday coming up, I'm sure to have more to post soon! We're at that point in our lives where all of our friends are getting engaged, so we'll have lots of fun weddings to go to and we'll be able to help our friends celebrate their special days.
