Lakers vs. Warriors Game

This year for my birthday, Nicole and the Solis’ surprised me with tickets to see the Lakers play the Warriors at Oracle Arena. It was a huge surprise and a great gift because I have never seen the Lakers play in person. To add to it all, the tickets were in ROW 8! Totally felt like VIP status.

The game started at 7:30pm, but I made Nicole go with me at 6pm to watch warmups. She was nice enough to play along.

The game was really great. Pretty close throughout and definitely a few highlight moments. It was so awesome to watch Kobe, Lamar, Pau and the rest of the guys. There is something about being there that is totally different. On TV they get really close to the action, but in person I could literally hear them talking to each other and see their eyes watching for screens. So much fun!

I think there were about as many Lakers fans as there were Warriors fans which made it a whole lot easier to cheer for the Lakers. Nicole loved the game too and said she actually likes basketball now. She said she doesn’t like the Lakers though…she’ll convert some day. Anyways, tons of fun and the Lakers won by three. Woo!

These are cellphone pictures, so they aren’t the greatest. I’ll try to download the pictures from our camera and see if they are better.

Winter Time is here!

November came so fast! Things are going well in the St. John family. Bella is getting bigger everyday, but still is full of energy. She is full of mischief, constantly jumping on the counter, playing with cords, and pretty much doing everything we hope she wouldn’t. But then she jumps up your lap, and loves to snuggle and sleep…and when she does that, I know that I instantly forgive her cute little face!

See how cute she is?

We just celebrated my 27th birthday…and wow does that sound old! I know it’s not old at all, but for some reason, 27 sounds so much older than 26! I think this was my first birthday that I didn’t want! We had fun though, and I thoroughly enjoyed the time with friends and family. I also had a blast shopping with all the gift cards and money recieved as presents (thanks Mom, Debbie and Eloise!), because I LOVE CLOTHES! Made turning another year older feel better =)

The rest of this month seems to be just as busy as our previous months. This weekend we head to Dream Mountain Christian Camp to support our friends Cheree, Marcos, Carl and Jesse as they have their open house for the camp they just bought. It’s so amazing to see how their dream of opening a camp has come to reality, all by the grace of God. It’s amazing how God can open doors when you just rely on Him and His provision. We are so happy for them! Then the following week is, of course, Thanksgiving, which we will be spending with Garrett’s parents. I’m excited for some good eats! After that, I will be going to see Wicked with my friend Brittany in San Francisco. Then Christmas is just around the corner….

We hope everyone has a blessed holiday season with family and friends!

Summertime

So far its been a pretty busy summer! I can’t believe it’s already July. Garrett’s sister Alyssa graduated from High School (CONGRATULATIONS ALYSSA!) , his mom Debbie had an amazing 50th bday bash, and we just got back from LA for a wedding (CONGRATULATIONS TO THE DEIHLS!) and Universal Studios. June was a busy, yet fun month.

Now we will be starting of July with going camping at New Melones this weekend…can’t wait!
