I, personally love pictures and try to take as many as possible. As I've gotten older, I've realized the value in photography and in capturing moments that will not last forever and turning them into memories that last a lifetime. I've done some organizing lately and have come across so many great pictures that I thought I'd try my own version of FF in the form of a monthly snapshot of years gone by. Here are some pictures from Januarys past...
2007 Samantha and I hanging out with friends. This was less than a year after we graduated from LMU. Look at that dark, short hair!
Margo, Samantha and I celebrating the new year in Las Vegas.
2009 I was lucky enough to be asked to travel to Madrid, Spain for work. I spent about a week there and was able to take some time off and see the city. This is me in front of the Royal Palace of Madrid, which is the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family. Today, four years later, I am back working for the same team that sent me overseas in 2009 so fingers crossed for more international travel soon!!
2010 We celebrated the wedding of Ryan & Jill Gunderson. Their wedding was on a beautiful yacht in Newport Beach on the same evening as the BCS National Championship! Ryan & Jill just celebrated their third anniversary and are expecting their first child in five short weeks!
This is Chris and Lindsay who are recently engaged!! Chris was a groomsmen in our wedding. They both attended LMU.
Dave and Cristina. Dave is currently in his second year of med school in Grenada!
2011 Because my pictures are stored in so many different places, I haven't been able to find any January 2011 photos yet. I know there HAS to be some so I'll do some digging.
2012 This was a busy time full of fun.
We said goodbye to Dave as he started a new journey and left for Grenada.

John's cousin Nicole got married in a beautiful ceremony in Irvine. Ryan and Nicole just celebrated their first anniversary and are expecting their first child this year!
We celebrated Tara's bachelorette party in Dallas. She was married on September 18, 2012 in Marina del Rey.
Dallas in January was cold for us California girls. (Samantha, Me and Lauren)
Kylie made an appearance and entertained us all by riding the bull!
I got to stay in Dallas with Kylie for a few days which was amazing. We saw a Stars game!
And made TopGolf our new favorite hangout!
We also finished the paint job in John's kitchen after peeling 30 year old wallpaper!
A man and his power tools.
Hung new curtains as a nice touch.
It's fun to see how things have changed (or haven't changed at all!) over the years. So far this January, we have been hard at work with more home improvements and are preparing to welcome a puppy into the family! More to come!
