Lucky me I woke up on Saturday morning with a tickle in my throat which has quickly moved into my head and settled into my sinuses. Thanks to my large supply of emergen-c in the house I think I have managed to shorten the life of my lovely cold. I spent half of yesterday and what seemed like all of today on the couch napping and watching movies.
Robert has been great making me dinner last night and taking care of me. He even found time today to fix the roof racks on my car. What a wonderful man. I just hope this silly cold goes away soon. I have a busy week at work and being healthy would really help it go a lot smoother.
I’m off to chug another glass of fizzy stuff.

Scrapbook Heaven
It may have taken me 6 months but I finally found an amazing scrapbook store. Of course with all of the sunshine and beaches I am horribly behind on my book which is ok because I think I’m going to switch to digital soon anyways.
The store “Cool Scrapbook Stuff” is less than 5 minutes from my work, perfect for a quick trip during my lunch. I went in today and was AMAZED at how much great stuff they had and how well everything was organized. This place was like 4x the size of doddle bugs!
I was just relieved because I was finally able to find some things that I have been looking for. Being the DIY person that I am I have decided to make my own wedding invitations to give them a personal touch, and save money. So today I was finally able to get some really great paper and embellishments that will look amazing and very Kelseyish with my invites. Not I just have to figure out what to write on the invitations. Something tells me “Hey dude come to our wedding!” isn’t the best way to phrase it.

Valentines Day Weekend!
Robert and I had a great Valentines day weekend, and mine still is not over. We went wine tasting with Lisa on friday at a local winery and then had tacos complete with a HUGE bowl of guacamole! On saturday I was suprised when robert brought home beautiful flowers after surfing. The arrangement has iris, anenonme flowers and some other very fragant flowers. What a wonderful guy!
Saturday afternoon we did a chocolate/wine/beer tasting in downtown Escondido with one of Robert's brothers and his sweet heart. It was so much fun! There was tables set up in different businesses downtown that had either wine or beer and chocolate paired with it. The weather was great and we got to wander around town for a few hours before going to get dinner at one of the Mendiola's favorite itailan places.
Our Valentines day was perfect, we had homemade breakfast and then went to watch Mary Kate, Robert's little sister, swim at a swim meet for a while. We packed a lunch and headed out to the coast. After a quick stop at my favorite farmers market in Leucadia we went to my favorite place in Del Mar. The first beach Robert took me to when we came down 2 1/2 years ago, the beach we were on when we started dating, the beach that Robert proposed at oh yeah and we're getting married there too.
We had a great time hanging out on the beach and then went body surfing with Joe. The sun and heat is such a wonderful suprise in February, yesterday we were both in shorts, and sandals. I even had to put sunscreen on before we left the house, just crazy! Hope you all had a great weekend!

Wedding Reception Ole
We have managed to check another thing off our "to do" list for the wedding. We reserved the restaurant where we will be doing our small California reception. We will be going to Fidel's a great Mexican restaurant in Solana Beach, just north of Del Mar where we will be getting married.
We talked to Paco the manager this afternoon. They only charge $1 per table cloth; we will need 8 tables tops and $.50 per serving for cake. Which means other than food we only have to pay about $20 for extras. They are going to set up the tables for us on their outdoor patio. There are great plants and decor all over the place plus lights running the length of the patio.
For those of you in Sequim it's a lot like El Caz but much more authentic food. The same kind of atmosphere though. Since neither of us are big champagne fans we've decided we will be toasting to whatever people decided to buy for drinks. So yes there is a pretty good chance that we will be toasting our marriage with Patron, Coronas or Margaritas. Sounds great to me!
We also tried a batch of cupcakes to see if I could successfully make lemon flavored cupcakes. They tasted great but not as lemony as Robert wants them, I’ll just have to try it again. We did figure out the frosting, I’m going to make a raspberry cream cheese frosting, it is delicious! Things area really coming together now, we only have a few more things to figure out and we’ll be good to go.
