Giant Jenga Night

Last Saturday it was our last Summer event for TheCitySD and we had a game night. The guys were playing some videogames, we played Taboo and we ALL played Giant Jenga.
We had a blast as we celebrated our last summer event and now we are getting ready to celebrate TheCity's 1 year anniversary next month.
This summer was great all of our events were really fun and we got to meet a lot of new people.
Looking forward to next month's celebration.

Happy Birthday Katie

She was making her wish...

& Faith thought she was taking too long, so she blew the candle!!!

The girl's (Cara & Faith's) masterpiece

About three years ago I met Katie, and I can say she is one of my favorite people to be around. Every time I speak to her I leave encouraged she is all around a great leader, a sincere friends, and a wonderful wife & mom, a true role model.
Yesterday we celebrated her 37th birthday, and I just wish that I will look just as good when I turn 37.
It was a fun, small get together with gifts, extraordinary desserts chocolate & raspberry cake and lots of laughs.
The girls made this cute little banner and we all signed our name and left little birthday comments.
Happy Birthday !!!!!!!

Urban's Block Party

We had our first Block Party!
The weather was really really hot,we were literally melting, drinking lots and lots of water BUT that didn't stop the people from around the neighborhood to come out and enjoy the sunshine.

The past couple of weeks we went out and did some prayer walks were we hang some door hangers announcing the block party & our backpack drive and some people came out and donated not just backpacks but they were filled with school supplies for kids in need here in SD. It was awesome!

We had jumpers, BBQ fish tacos, lots of balloons, face painting and raffles! it was so much fun.
My favorite part was the Fish Tacos, the Sampo family donated their time and talents and we were all in awe with the flavor! I want more tacos!!!! ;)

After the block party some of us went home and got a little bit of rest before we were headed to our Giant Jenga Night!

I love doing life with my Urban family.

lunch at the beach

We have had a heat wave and lately it is a little hard to stay home all day in this heat since we don't have AC. So it depends on the day and how busy we are we head over to the mall or the beach. 

Today my husband and I  decided to meet up at the beach after work. I made sandwiches and we had lunch there.

It was a nice quiet afternoon at the beach with my husband before our weekly Bible Study, but little did I know when we were all done and ready to head to our bible study my car didn't start :/ so I had to call my insurance and wait for them to come and jump start my car. Thank God they didn't take too long but we still couldn't make it. 

Over all it was  a great day. 

Roscoe's

Last night we went to LA to see AmandaJo perform. It was a lot of fun. Michelle & Erin drove with us and on our way back home we had to stop at Roscoe's to try the famous Chicken n Waffles!!! It was my first time eating there and I had great company to share it with.

Amanda in LA

Our dearest friend Amanda performed last Sunday in LA and it was AMAZING. We get to listen to her beautiful voice every Sunday but to see her perform is a whole different story.
It was a fun night listening to different bands, great musicians, some great voices and not so great ones as well, but Amanda was by far the best performance of the night.
We are so proud to see her doing what she loves the most and it is a privilege to have her as a friend!
You go Amanders!!!!!!

Anniversary No.1

For our anniversary No.1 my husband & I drove to Vegas, it was a fun couple of days.

{Warning! picture overload}

We had been to Vegas before but never together, so this was a great experience, to be able to travel together and spend all day every day was just great.We visited every hotel, took lots of pictures and had an amazing time. 

About an hour and a half into driving I realized I forgot my camera, I was so disappointed because I love to take pictures, but my phone saved us, that is why the quality of the photographs aren't the greatest but we still captured our first anniversary and that is what matters.

We have so many people around us who are a great blessing to our lives, first of all our parents and family, but also unconditional friends who are always there for us.

We are very blessed with friends who are not just there when things are going well, but always there to share their experiences, advice and lectures when they are necessary but most importantly they lead by example and we look up to them.

So for this trip we had the opportunity to go see the "Blue Man Group" thanks to the Bielden family. The show was great and we had a blast.

Also, Jo & Caleb made a reservation to a great restaurant for our anniversary dinner and it was delicious! Thanks guys!

Our first year of marriage has been wonderful, I am grateful for the wonderful man of God I have by my side and for the learning experience this year has been, We look forward to many many years more together. I could not have asked for a better husband.
