It wasn't that bad but it was fun to sway back and forth. Tere is a loft in my building that hangs half way over my office. I was just sitting here typing and suddenly we started to sway and shake back and forth. I realized it was an earthquake but was just going to ride it out cause it wasn't that bad when suddenly I heard a funny noise from the loft above and I booked it out of my office so fast! I was afraid it was going to fall down onto me! Luckily nothing happened. The phone lines were totally jammed after for about 1 hour. It was way trippy because just yesterday we were all talking about how my friend Jenna had never felt an earthquake and then Michael asked us if there was an earthquake right now, where would we go? Knock on wood, I think we jixed SoCal!Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312135789965974510.post-25098821686700854822008-07-29T21:35:00.000-07:002008-07-29T21:37:38.634-07:00Bonjourno!!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ_a0Ro7ht0QIggI-mwaPgYHz7wGI5JbfXVU6atfBwMqIRi_ym04gqhoTRSDAi-U8t8NLbrYGyV-KmYo9Mz_LuYjyzddzM0SyIE0PBPuAZslgzid6MnAQFKTnoqxUxTmyibRRK-9hZDMw/s1600-h/Italy+2008+-+Canon+40D+118.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228661635922732930" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ_a0Ro7ht0QIggI-mwaPgYHz7wGI5JbfXVU6atfBwMqIRi_ym04gqhoTRSDAi-U8t8NLbrYGyV-KmYo9Mz_LuYjyzddzM0SyIE0PBPuAZslgzid6MnAQFKTnoqxUxTmyibRRK-9hZDMw/s320/Italy+2008+-+Canon+40D+118.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>John and I just got back from Italy and it was AMAZING! His cousin was getting married so we decided to go with Johns family. His sister Kelly, her husband Pete, their daughter Mackenzie, and John's other sister Jennifer all joined the fun! It was wonderful and I wish I could write more but I started at the end and now I feel like my fingers are going to fall off! Anyway, to start, here is my favorite pic of John and I. It's basically the only one where nobodies looks sweaty shiny and half way decent, the weather was so hot and humid!</div>Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312135789965974510.post-71388441821570489452008-07-29T21:15:00.000-07:002008-07-29T21:34:55.583-07:00Cinque Terre, Italy<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-t-bH5-zWAPJNK91hn59FncJ3-ljYIc8i-GtuAFSHIi-QrRNSJVWygvU64WCoc5BQy0ZmfC3vJIqQWAxMk9mxHiVvuBSwUIxd8QN1H0_0xr1UUjrgTy-PDnxGIbwB-4dBZqSK9LiHVhI/s1600-h/P7110108.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228658668234540482" style="FLOAT: right;

Cinque Terra is made up of 5 small towns and we stayed in Riomaggiore, the farthest town south. It was absolutely picturesque. THey are all built on cliffs so it's all up hill, at least it felt that way when you're walking everywhere! By the end fo the trip, I swear my calves have never looked better! All these pics are intermingeled of the towns together. We had such a blast in Riomaggiore. It was the sleepest of the 5 towns and I think that's why it suited everyone best. To explain the pics: the frog was just sitting in the middle of a walkway and I almost stepped on it! John had an underwater camera and he took it out into the sea with him and Mackenzie and her dad Pete. There was a big rock out there and they were standing on it, jumping off. I just love the pic of Mackenzie jumping off, she looks like a mermaid statue on the front of the old ships! The pic of the guy with the afro under water, he joined them out by the rock and kept insisting that John take his picture under water. He turned out to be a world renowned concert pianist and we went to his concert one night! We still didnt' really believe he was terribly famous until I was flipping channels and there he was on BBC, interviewing! In Vernazza, I think it's the third town south, there was a little chapel that you could light a candel and say a prayer. John and his sister Kelly lit a candle for their mom Carole. She was supposed to come with us but she passed away in November. About the middle are two pictures of John's family: John, sister Kelly, daughter Mackenzie, Kelly's husband Pete, and John's sister Jennifer. The one with their lips pursed is becuase we were just joking about how the Olsen twins say "prunes" when they get their photo taken to make their lips fuller to they are saying "prunes!" The rest are pretty much us having fun and being silly!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312135789965974510.post-13482214467691981182008-07-29T21:03:00.001-07:002008-07-29T21:15:23.124-07:00Roma, Italy<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnEta1euvVE6IgnKz9PER2nw5WP3YeJo_A3bpZ19kmt5RkS4dcxbSP5pThV5tPIVIwPRVRWKyYTUGb0UbuYH0mcm31veIxDdGPO1LvCuyl_ef-_1SWz_H9G6vUplJa3mv6pAXSmyBL7NU/s1600-h/Italy+2008+-+Canon+40D+196.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228655832225722850" style="FLOAT: right;

It was hot, smelly, dirty, and we only got to see the colluseum and the ruins becuase we had about 5 hours to spend there. We got off the train then took the subway to the colluseum. It was cool because you walk out of the station and bam! there is the colluseum. It was pretty cool to see. Almost the entire building is made of bricks. John's brother in law Pete had a good comment...not only did they build it brick by brick, they also had to make the bricks first. Haha, I don't know why this suprised me to think, it's not like they had a Home Depot! One part that was lame was there were basically no signs telling you about the colluseum, you had to take the guided tour to get any of the info-boring! My favorite part was the pic of the "floor" of the colluseum - the floor itself was removed underneath was were they kept the fighters, slaves, and animals so you could see the walkways and cells.<br /></div><div>We didn't stay long in there, once youre in youre pretty much done. We walked across the way to the ruins and hung out a bit. It was so hot the only thing that saved us was the little vendor selling frozen bottles of water.<br /></div><div>A little about the trains...apparently Italians are not very concerned with proper sewage control. The train toilets have a white ball at the bottom. When you flush, the ball disappears and the waste is just dumped on the tracks below. It was a bit gross, to say the least. John said it was common knowledge that it was common courtesy to not use the bathrooms while you were at a stop, so that the people at the stations didn;t have to smell the pee and poop. Yuck! The train coming back from Rome didn't have the balls at the bottom so you look down the toilet and you just see the tracks zoomin on by! </div></div></div>Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312135789965974510.post-26368359290568501712008-07-29T20:53:00.000-07:002008-07-29T21:02:40.014-07:00Pisa, Italy<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVeFQfPAUCzKHtJQqpSk6ahpq6-xl_M2KxV-VMXI6nypxIeaVRld17623kdUUbhNW6NoWmvClDPx7w1jNyYeBWnP4IJHQuYSrbnVCBJV_eLxq0kW4QACHVwxkr3U3ACxAVeDyMeJb7DGM/s1600-h/Italy+2008+-+Canon+40D+208.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228652423562924818" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVeFQfPAUCzKHtJQqpSk6ahpq6-xl_M2KxV-VMXI6nypxIeaVRld17623kdUUbhNW6NoWmvClDPx7w1jNyYeBWnP4IJHQuYSrbnVCBJV_eLxq0kW4QACHVwxkr3U3ACxAVeDyMeJb7DGM/s320/Italy+2008+-+Canon+40D+208.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqDXhZXV37lj-_HJ8F7aQG7Y4qF3xH__oa2WkdPQXQRYVjoEgnsNUKQSWcFSRBaAzuioimlLc_Fgbkmj3Ke6zOhL4-DOfpZQ7p4UDDy9hN9eHG4djm3OjDCMzBzsKsfIxPbEiEaX8hZGc/s1600-h/Italy+2008+-+Canon+40D+215.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228652431468178626" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqDXhZXV37lj-_HJ8F7aQG7Y4qF3xH__oa2WkdPQXQRYVjoEgnsNUKQSWcFSRBaAzuioimlLc_Fgbkmj3Ke6zOhL4-DOfpZQ7p4UDDy9hN9eHG4djm3OjDCMzBzsKsfIxPbEiEaX8hZGc/s320/Italy+2008+-+Canon+40D+215.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjK_C98z-Y9XDMR2FzeoypsabdGlqP3kHxUFjOgPaPFrmZAJ5DuP57jVyb_hW51sW8yDHF5DhaqkChJgPxRf4RyhdRA81wAQo6b3N1AgSnitNfZ7T-56GEpjcYSjdB4U-ff8KYGa91pdI/s1600-h/Italy+2008+-+Canon+40D+222.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228652439762218914" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjK_C98z-Y9XDMR2FzeoypsabdGlqP3kHxUFjOgPaPFrmZAJ5DuP57jVyb_hW51sW8yDHF5DhaqkChJgPxRf4RyhdRA81wAQo6b3N1AgSnitNfZ7T-56GEpjcYSjdB4U-ff8KYGa91pdI/s320/Italy+2008+-+Canon+40D+222.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Not much to say about this town except the leaning tower was cool to see.

His bride was Erika, and this was the town she spent every summer in since she was 3. They were married on July 14th, in the Basilica Cattedrale San Gerbone in Massa Marittima. We first took the train from Chinque Terra to Castiglioncello (3 hours) waited around for an hour for the buses, took the bus to Massa where the chapel was (1 1/2). It was so hot so all of the pictures we look sweaty and gross. Sorry, not much we could do about that :) I don't remeber how old the church was but it was pretty dang old. It was a traditional Catholic wedding, very long but pretty since half of it was in Italian. A woman sang Ave Maria and they had a four piece orchestra. After the ceremony we all went outside and waited for the happy couple to come outside. You can throw rice in Italy! So this pics you will see are at the chapel, wedding photos, John and his neice Makenzie, an old man helping the ladies down the steep steps, and a couple of the reception but we didn't take that many there. </div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div></div>Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312135789965974510.post-84235055421844627612008-07-29T20:28:00.001-07:002008-07-29T20:42:16.697-07:00Firenze, Italy - end of trip<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgepiAjhq2tsxM3rwrW6Mpb_7GplysWiOnyVKX-L_Ad25lvi9Z9jA-8XqUxdVqgcqDTY2SxFW8-JPMi-BcTHiwWsOmcSJ4HqMMRx6FXVkttkcwDq6Q3hrLwkDTM3uH8S3XI42xkeIrQzhE/s1600-h/P7160146.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228644977557240818" style="FLOAT: right;

It was incredibly hot! By this point in the trip we were tired of walking and tired of being hot. I ate so much cheese I didnt even want to look at caprese for fear of being ill. Plus, we were completely over the touriesty stuff so we didn't go into any muesem's, just walked around and looked at everything. That was one of the best things about us traveling together - to both of us, guided tours seemed about as fun a watching ice melt-boring! I just wanted to be able to get into my own car instead of a train, drink a diet coke with suffeciant ice cubes, and watch something on TV other then CNN or BBC - the only english channels we got. Pics you will see: the policeman at the train station on those Segways (they looked like they were having a blast!), scenery pics of downtown called Ponte Vecchio - the bridge as you walk through it is entirely gold and jewelry shops (GORGEOUS!), Boboli Garden is where all the statues where - John wanted me to sit on the giant turtle but it was metal and sooo hot that I couldn't even touch it! I wanted to be like the naked guy on the turtle (only not naked :)). You'll also see the view of Firenze from the top of the Boboli Gardens and some cute pics of John. The pic with him looking sad by the pizzeria - he talked about eating at this place since the day we decided to go, he was sooo excited-apparently it has the best pizza in all of Italy. Well the one day we could go it was closed!! So we went to some other place that sold pizza and got silly so we took pics of each other to see who was better at being crosseyed. And the one where John's head is cut off-we had the server lady take our picture and she was so nervous she cut John's head off!! There were so many more pics I remember John taking but don't know where they ended up. <br />So that is the end of the trip! We came home on the 17th and where very excited to be back in America...not that we didn't love Italy but we heart SoCal!</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312135789965974510.post-72682952972896799752008-04-04T11:25:00.000-07:002008-04-04T11:35:04.389-07:00Counterfeit training sessionWednesday I went to a training seminar for the LAPD to learn about counterfeiting. LA just established in February a task force speciafically for counterfeit goods - it's been extremly sucessful so far. In March they coordinated a mass rad on Santee Alley (downtown shopping area) that is notorious for selling fake goods. Luckly, they only seized about 100 pairs of fake Rocks...good to see the numbers low. Total they seized over 1 million worth of product. They arrested over 35 people, 5 of them being gang members from the likes of MS-13 and 18th street (very bad gangs). This is an alarming trend (that gang members are becoming involved) because this will make it just that much more difficult to stop it - it's a direct provine contributor to terrorism, prostitution, child labor, human trafficking, and drugs to name a few. Anyway, I'm writing this because it was very interesting to go to. Most of the info I knew but they had a Q&A with two "reformed" counterfeit sellers which was awesome. One guy made 100K a year working flea markets saterdays and sundays selling bootleg dvd's - there is major money invloved. AND, the best part IMHO, was that the Louis Vuitton guy was there and I had him authenticate my purse...IT'S REAL!!!! phew! And he told me all the tricks to tell so now I'm an expert :)Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312135789965974510.post-89384000775034042502008-04-04T11:04:00.000-07:002008-04-04T11:14:17.288-07:00Mexico pics from three weeks ago...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTtei0gJIh8br21VNg-9VF1zhKoncF2i51kk-VdcFuc1twawHzM0HNvZPoBGbHcPSl99N4jCx5VKLnSsYz74NHaWtZtienkxq1Kt8s-vVor1h8Y-m_BihcB3vT2gxsUfbEV8-amKgHVQk/s1600-h/Picture+010.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185453221671051570" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTtei0gJIh8br21VNg-9VF1zhKoncF2i51kk-VdcFuc1twawHzM0HNvZPoBGbHcPSl99N4jCx5VKLnSsYz74NHaWtZtienkxq1Kt8s-vVor1h8Y-m_BihcB3vT2gxsUfbEV8-amKgHVQk/s320/Picture+010.jpg" border="0" /></a> So I went to MX three weeks ago with John but I haven't been able to post much lately so here is one cute pic. My camera died the first night there but luckly I got this one :)<br /><p>We had soooooo much fun! The weather was absolutley gorgeous and we had the best house. We went to Las Gaviotas, like usual, it's an American housing community on the beach about 40 mins south of the border. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Friday night we went to our friend Anthony's dad's house in Rosarito. Anthony has two younger brothers and they pulled out a jump rope. Now I don't know if anybody knows this, but I can skip rope like nobodies bin'ness! I used to tear it up on the playground and gym class in elementary, my specialty being double dutch. So I was going crazy that night, teaching them a ton of sweet tricks, it was the greatest hour ever...except for the fact that my calves hurt SO bad by Sunday that I could hardly walk! I thought I'd actually torn a muscle it hurt so bad. I highly recommend a skip rope to anybody trying to get their calves into shape! Great for the thighs too :) Aside from that, I was able to get the best sun kissed tan, lots of rest, and good MX food. Even the drive back was a breeze, took 6 hours but no problems at the border. I want to go again!!!</p>Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312135789965974510.post-19616711268624987782008-03-17T16:03:00.001-07:002008-03-17T16:07:37.212-07:00Funny pic...<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7p6hgRxAY11r082PK_-F2qcHHjWr-VuAbvxsAsVYa61Oob_KXskwI65DXOTN5YdomMYLluilBb6Q8PA8HTsbhLFIsdrLxvZiMsjJLJzUCr7WNzXqxzegV1PcBFo2zhxYi7GhD0GoAyYo/s1600-h/envy.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178850553349724866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7p6hgRxAY11r082PK_-F2qcHHjWr-VuAbvxsAsVYa61Oob_KXskwI65DXOTN5YdomMYLluilBb6Q8PA8HTsbhLFIsdrLxvZiMsjJLJzUCr7WNzXqxzegV1PcBFo2zhxYi7GhD0GoAyYo/s320/envy.bmp" border="0" /></a><br />My friend Seth at work sent me a bunch of funny pics and I must say, this was the funniest...weird enough, doesn't it looks like the apartments at Ricks???!!<br /><br /><br /></div>Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312135789965974510.post-35484287810983961882008-03-14T15:06:00.000-07:002008-03-14T15:42:01.701-07:00I've been tagged!<span style="color:#cc66cc;">WHAT WERE YOU DOING 10 YEARS AGO?</span><br />I was 17 and a Junior in High School.

The sun was shinning and my confidance was soaring, ready for my big day ahead of me. As I was entering the building, the security guard stopped me and said "Can I ask you a question?" I said "Sure", thinking he was going to give me some security paperwork or ask if a certain employee was still allowed to enter the building, but instead he said "Have you picked up a couple'a pounds?"....WTFrick?!!! All I could muster was a small "Couple'a pounds?" response in a quite voice. He said "Not in a bad way!" and I couldn't even muster a proper reply and gave a courtesy chuckle and walked off. I slowly walked to my desk dazed and confused...had I put on weight? I was forced to do a quick inventory of my clothes, mentally calculating if jeans or tee-shirts had started feeling differant...I figured I should be offended but realized I didn't feel put out so I wasn't going to be, but seriously dude, come on! Who says that to someone??!!</div>Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312135789965974510.post-21948428048119233772008-02-29T13:19:00.000-08:002008-02-29T13:22:41.227-08:00Sweater Day for Mr. Rogers<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRbfBlsWRICtyEeE4i7Cfwmgr2e8yZVOrTJk4F9dA3irikqwsFtA5WEF2hNMew2y9ixG1DzAnBCuumKQvIuz4RgvgIBqJTa-3G1ekFo4TsuZmgKIb9xs43-a2apfmgl1SbZD7e1yISwWs/s1600-h/rogers.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172515598015020130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRbfBlsWRICtyEeE4i7Cfwmgr2e8yZVOrTJk4F9dA3irikqwsFtA5WEF2hNMew2y9ixG1DzAnBCuumKQvIuz4RgvgIBqJTa-3G1ekFo4TsuZmgKIb9xs43-a2apfmgl1SbZD7e1yISwWs/s320/rogers.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Hello everyone, March 20 would have been the late children's TV host's 80th birthday, and Family Communications Inc. is urging everyone to wear a favorite sweater that day in honor of Fred Rogers' legacy.

Here is one pic that doesn't truly give you an idea of the size they but they were impressive and fun to see.

She had the opportunity to have WE tv film it and include it in a special about beach weddings. It aired last night and was sooo much fun to watch! Check it out, you can't really see me, but if you watch, I can be seen during the wedding scenes a little, second to last bridesmaid, when Jenna's getting ready I'm the one in the black tank top sitting on the floor doing my hair, and then they show a shot of the wedding party and it pans out-I'm the second to last girl. Haha, only a spilt second, but it was really fun to re-live it and Jenna looks sooo beautiful on camera! Plus, I think she was the prettiest of the four brides, IMHO. :)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Here's the air times:</div><br /><div>Synopsis:<br />WE tv follows four couples as they prepare for their ultimate wedding on the Beach. Skylin and Jeremy wed in an intimate ceremony under a handmade trellis in Muir Beach, California; Karen and Russ put on a platinum extravaganza on the elite island of Coronado, California; Melissa and Ashniel celebrate their Hindu heritage on Shelter Island next to a beautiful marina; and Cameron and Jenna realize their dreams as they marry on the swanky sands of Malibu, California. See first hand how to enlist the help of experts from the floral, catering, music and wedding industries to oversee the specialized elements it takes to create a fabulous beach wedding.<br />More Air Dates:<br />Monday, February 11, 1:00 AM ETMonday, February 11, 4:00 AM ETMonday, February 11, 8:00 PM ETTuesday, February 12, 3:00 AM ETTuesday, February 12, 5:00 PM ETThursday, February 14, 7:00 PM ETFriday, February 15, 9:00 PM ETSaturday, February 16, 3:00 AM ETSaturday, February 16, 5:00 PM ETSunday, February 17, 11:00 PM ETMonday, February 18, 2:00 AM ET</div>Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312135789965974510.post-62794988851260631962008-01-29T18:22:00.000-08:002008-01-29T18:49:33.586-08:00GARTH, baby, GARTH!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO65ckG_9Ki82CToKyZcBGX1t1HpND0LSKk2vPE2luyb_s3A_QYAKBAi7_nnJ8wOGaap_QndZb4cELljrAnXZaUIbwjzgYEMD0GdKBnZtfL6FKCTz9uFPKYWNcfMGEH5qEnsvvLW8u0_8/s1600-h/garth.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161095954895177826" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO65ckG_9Ki82CToKyZcBGX1t1HpND0LSKk2vPE2luyb_s3A_QYAKBAi7_nnJ8wOGaap_QndZb4cELljrAnXZaUIbwjzgYEMD0GdKBnZtfL6FKCTz9uFPKYWNcfMGEH5qEnsvvLW8u0_8/s320/garth.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmhc16HxsVFvCoHJnWLfdc-L4neP4d0PiP0LdX1PZif01XoLmvYETm02vd5ClYYwd5kFgHW_I3WgiJjycFcwzYEC4u4tDEXmLOp1OBZz8n9_jMEzS7Oy-ILnS2WZvA163x2LjArMolwQ/s1600-h/garth1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161095959190145138" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmhc16HxsVFvCoHJnWLfdc-L4neP4d0PiP0LdX1PZif01XoLmvYETm02vd5ClYYwd5kFgHW_I3WgiJjycFcwzYEC4u4tDEXmLOp1OBZz8n9_jMEzS7Oy-ILnS2WZvA163x2LjArMolwQ/s320/garth1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>(PS, there are not my pics, they are from internet...I was not that close :))</div><br /><div>Oh man, who loves Garth Brooks??? Uh, me. I have always had an appreciation for him and country and Saturday night I had the chance to attend one of his 5 concerts benefiting the LA fire fighters. He is such an AMAZING performer, I swear I cried three times, once during The Dance, during Gods Greatest Gifts, and then at the end. He came back on stage for his encore song and told us how when he was just down there, a Staples Center worker introduced herself, saying it was so great to meet him, and what was it like to get up in front of 30,000 people? He said that his dad always told him if you want to experiance something you should just jump in with both feet. And with that, he pulled her up on stage and she was crying and patting her chest like she just couldn't beleive it. Of course, the crowd went crazy, it was so powerful. Then he let her stay on stage for the last song, then pulled her over and told the whole crowd to take out their cameras and take of a pic of him and her together on the count of three. He said three and the stadium just lit up with flash after flash, it was awesome! Then he told her that clearly she couldn't take one of the pics home unless someone gave her his camera, and when he siad that I started freaking out and was like "The hat!! The hat!!" and sure enough, he gives her his Stetson!!!! It was soooo cool!!! He is such a peoples performer, Friday night he gave someone his guitar. What a wonderful performer and what an experiance!!</div><br /><div>Below is a post of that night of him singing Gods Greatest Gifts, which is such a sweet song. You can hear the whole audience singing along, it was very moving...</div><br /><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGE8SkgWJic">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGE8SkgWJic</a></div>Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312135789965974510.post-232881098075621772008-01-22T15:15:00.000-08:002008-01-22T15:28:08.549-08:00R.I.P.

See Wylie sit. His favorite thing to do in the morning is sit where I was sleeping, right once I leave the bed, and groom. This is his favorite position, he will just prop himself against the wall and the floor and sit like this too, he is not picky about location. The old guy sat like this for a good 5 minutes.<br />My cat is fat.Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312135789965974510.post-3677912506292691142008-01-16T00:25:00.000-08:002008-01-16T00:34:21.470-08:00Introducing John...and his woobie<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi53nRl5qbxx3L2Btv7h0UCHSsHaQDtqXiZcG6h3ANcYtN1L2vCz3RSmOYyJ6Lx-AL_cbWg3Cuj8DFCnFB4_NmUwLe8TDWaAWpEU1Gq13Soa7rx8QJNZmUjL3ijvR-QThODoohkPBx5PFk/s1600-h/2007+028.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155988408843080866" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi53nRl5qbxx3L2Btv7h0UCHSsHaQDtqXiZcG6h3ANcYtN1L2vCz3RSmOYyJ6Lx-AL_cbWg3Cuj8DFCnFB4_NmUwLe8TDWaAWpEU1Gq13Soa7rx8QJNZmUjL3ijvR-QThODoohkPBx5PFk/s320/2007+028.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi32Sva-aaGQeR382KmktDZL7xAyQ1MAzlYxf1O9Jy0Ns25a2vtR2azDGvn_mpjCuIj9FL-zGi_ZbbyFVWPZBZ9HQfsOZqGKd6oO24ToidLTEcm6E_ydYER8cN1k8LsZHs7W9WHC593kAk/s1600-h/2007+029.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155988413138048178" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi32Sva-aaGQeR382KmktDZL7xAyQ1MAzlYxf1O9Jy0Ns25a2vtR2azDGvn_mpjCuIj9FL-zGi_ZbbyFVWPZBZ9HQfsOZqGKd6oO24ToidLTEcm6E_ydYER8cN1k8LsZHs7W9WHC593kAk/s320/2007+029.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>This is my boy John and his all time favorite shirt. I'm pretty sure he wore it all the first five dates we had...just kidding, but he's constantly wearing it and if he's not, he's carrying it! :)</div><div>These pics were taking Friday night, went to celebrate Jenna's 23rd B-day. I posted both becuase the top one is cute, but I LOVE the bottom one!

I cut it about 6 weeks ago to the very short short hair you saw before this post. I love my hair now but I stumbled across these photos taken in the summer time, and well, I miss it right now. I miss: ponytails, cute curls popping out a hat, sexy morning bed head, and braids. Although, I could do a killer mohawk now...<br />The top pic is one of my best friends Jenna Burgrabe and her husband Cameron. They were married in September and I was one of their bridesmaids. Below is my friends Mollie (left) and Sarah (right). I do love me some funny faces!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYdqmA3PUo8WbD6VUOGE2uo4_MsZqoaVQ02Km1HCCn6OyPEKB5Et5W14XLfv2odlkiYqTjUvRJFjVxcKl-Jkboh6mrX6SyJkRNXX1QhdOK0fcNqj4h_mCGm6Z0HEEs2mrqZMQ0O-WaZh0/s1600-h/DSC01284.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155985376596169874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYdqmA3PUo8WbD6VUOGE2uo4_MsZqoaVQ02Km1HCCn6OyPEKB5Et5W14XLfv2odlkiYqTjUvRJFjVxcKl-Jkboh6mrX6SyJkRNXX1QhdOK0fcNqj4h_mCGm6Z0HEEs2mrqZMQ0O-WaZh0/s320/DSC01284.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312135789965974510.post-91406534613123285632008-01-15T23:44:00.000-08:002008-01-15T23:47:12.361-08:00New favorite song - Sleep Walk<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAk_0N85wNk">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAk_0N85wNk</a><br /><br />You must listen to this, I'm sure everyone has heard it before but I just found it and l.o.v.e it.

This is on 6th and Detroit, I live one the corner of 4th, two block over is Detroit. This is what the news had to say:</div><div>"So far, no injuries are reported. KCAL9 on air news said it started when two workmen in a unit were doing something with solder. 120 firefighters fought the fire, knocking it down at 3:45 p.m."</div><div>120 firefighters! I can't begin to express how grateful I am for renters insurance! About 6 months ago a friend from work's apartment burned to the ground, she barely had to time to grab her cell phone and puppy before the house just calapsed. She didn't have renters insurance...and now most everyone I know at work has obtained it. It seems like there are quite a few of these happening lately, especially with these older buildings in my area, The Miracle Mile. They are around 100 years old, even this one was old, it just looks new on the outside. And thank goodness the fire station is at the end of my street so response time had to be almost nothing. </div>Bekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08104420577247537018noreply@blogger.com1
