The Weekend

Friday----

I decided to take Charlie to Orangewood Little League Field (since its not an active league anymore). So I asked Danny if he would like to come with me and Charlie so I could let her free in the gated baseball field...&so we were off...

&we got her exhausted! which was the goal...she needed the open space to run, especially when its a new place for her...




















She played fetch with us &of course being the brat she is, just went for the ones she felt like getting...then chasing Danny to get the baseballs out in center field. She had a blast i could tell til of course it got too hot for her and she was tired! Ready to go back home &of course she probably missed Ruby (other dog, her mother-figure).



Saturday----

Danny's Family & I got invited to one of the Deacon's 50th Wedding Vow Renewals Ceremony. Deacon Gary has been in Danny's life for a very long time, even before Danny was born so he is very important to their family &means a lot to Danny. And so we went to celebrate this very big ceremony with Deacon Gary &his wife Marge. 50 years!!! Wow!!!
Me &Danny outside church...
&during the reception...between waiting for the food &the mingling with everyone me &Danny kept ourselves entertained...

That was our Saturday spent with friends from church &celebrating 50 years of marriage with 2 of the sweetest &dedicated people I have ever met. 50 years is wow!! It's amazing how 2 people can stay together &deal with the other for that long &still be so in love with each other. I hope i have that...i hope i get to celebrate 50 years of marriage...with my Danny. :) &still love him :) i am sure i will.

Even 25 years is a long time! so to those who have been married for that long so far &still in love...all i have to say is wow!&i am happy for you!...but i guess that's why they say to marry your best friend, i am planning on marrying mine ;) love ya Danny.


Sunday---

A very lazy &relaxing day...spent going to church and then spending the day at home with family...it was just a little weird for me because i am used to working on Sundays &to have the weekend off i felt a little lost.

So I decided to take the twinkies to go see a movie that they had been wanting to see...


[it's about the first Mexican team winning the Little League World Series in 1957]

&that was my weekend.not much but I had fun spending time with the ones I love very much. :)

Michael Buble

So Danny surprised me and bought tickets for us to see Michael Buble in concert. He knows how much i love him &his music of course...&Danny feels the same way ever since i played Michael Buble's music for him.
Danny bought the tickets in December and the concert was not til April...that wait was so long! I was so excited and could not wait to go! And so the day came &oh how happy i was to finally see the dreamy Michael Buble!&his Crazy Love Tour! :)
And so we left about 3 hours before the show actually started, because it was both our first times going to the Staples Center so we wanted to make sure we didn't get lost and plus Danny knew i wanted tacos from my favorite taco place in LA :) he always knows how to make me happy...especially happy when i get food.
After getting delicious tacos we were on our way to the Staples Center, which was about 12 miles away from where we ate so should not be too bad...but on a Friday night, around 6 the traffic to get to downtown was a mess.But we made it to the Staples Center with enough time to take our time to walk to the entrance (they didn't let us in til 7pm). So me and Danny had fun seeing the crowd and especially since i pointed out to him that we were probably the only young people out of a handful of people. The crowd there was pretty much older people, like my parents age, dressed up all nice, while i was in jeans and a shirt and Danny in a nice button up shirt so we didn't stick out too much.So then the time came to go into the Staples Center to find our seats...took us a while but then we realized that Danny got Premier Seating which was cool! They were really good seats! I liked it! 8 o'clock came and the openers for Michael Buble was a group called Naturally 7...&apparently to Michael Buble they are Naturally 10 1/2. lol...Anyways they are a really amazing group! They perform without any instruments...just their voices...it was amazing how they can make the sounds of drums, electric guitar, harmonica etc. (youtube them!) After an hour of performing it was Michael Buble time! :) It was intense!
And so came his intro...started with "Cry Me a River"(and no not the Justin Timberlake song lol)

[i tried to add the video i took but it just wouldn't upload...guess you are just gonna have to see him in concert yourself ;) ]

I loved his entrance!
The concert was awesome! He played most of his songs from his Crazy Love CD plus "Home", "Me &Mrs Jones", "Everything", "Save The Last Dance for Me"...In the middle of the concert he explained that many people think his idol is Frank Sinatra but in fact his idol was Michael Jackson &to everyone's surprise he did the moonwalk and sang one of Michael Jackson's songs. It was great!
And of course we got shirts...
(danny got a green one w/tour dates on the back &i got this blue one)
I loved the concert! I wanna see him again when he comes back to the U.S. I loved our date out to see our favorite artist! It was fun! Michael Buble is funny &he sounds the same as he does on his CDs! So if you ever get the chance go see him in concert!
And so our next concerts we are going to see is Lifehouse in May &Jack Johnson in October! We are on a concert roll! lol :)

Charlie

So i thought i would start off with the story of my new dog Charlie since most of my family has not met her yet. So here we go...
Going back to the beginning of last year when our dog Casper passed away, we noticed that Ruby (dog#2) was lonely out in the backyard and so we would bring her inside and play with her. Then we wanted another dog, but my mom kept saying 'No! You guys will not take care of the dog, you guys hardly took care of Ruby and i don't want another dog!' So that conversation was never brought up again...til about September...my uncle Mario had told my dad that his dogs had puppies and asked if he wanted one. (Mario also brought it up to my mom but my mom shot that down) So a Saturday in October i came home from work to find a small puppy(chocolate lab) sleeping under the computer desk. I was in total shock and confusion and soon after the twinkies told me that the puppy was ours and that my dad had brought her home from Mario's house. And i knew that my mom was mad!
[she slept all the time all over the place...and her name was 'princess' at the time guess who named her that] After a few days with 'Princess' my dad asked me if i wanted her and of course i said yes! And he gave me the whole "you gotta take care of her and walk her" so she is officially mine and i change her name to 'Charlie.' (i don't like 'dog' names).
Charlie grew very fast i wish she stayed that little longer but my dad did warn me that she would grow quickly because of the kind of dog she is. Every couple of weeks when i took her to the vet to get her shots she gained at least 5 pounds every time so i knew it wasn't gonna be long til i was not gonna be able to carry her.
And let me tell you that little face is cute but she is a monster...my monster but nonetheless a monster! As she got bigger she got more and more attached Ruby (dog#2) and she would follow her around and try to play with her. As my dad says 'charlie gave Ruby another life!' because now she is more playful having to keep up with Charlie who is constantly pouncing on her and biting her ears to get her attention.



So as of now Charlie is pretty big and is still not done growing. She is up to my chin when she stands up. Danny taught her to sit and give her paw. She loves to play obviously and she loves Danny! But once i come into the room or walk outside she goes to me and won't listen to anything, she is a brat but she's getting better to listening to Danny when i am there and even just listening. [she is now almost 6 months old)

I call her my 'Charlie Bucket' and she knows its me calling her. She goes crazy when someone is playing with Ruby and not her. She now walks over Ruby and jumps over her if Me or Danny is petting Ruby. She is crazy! If you have ever seen the movie 'Marley and Me' well my dog IS Marley! She has successfully bent and ripped up my moms broom, ate up the bench on the exercise machine we have outside (why its outside idk but its her chew toy), most of the baseballs that were in the bucket for the batting cage are now just the yarn, and just yesterday she chewed off the water hose from the faucet thing the water comes out from. She is destructo-dog but she is mine and she is a dork and she may tear everything apart but she is lovable. She's my Charlie Bucket.
