Casablanca on the big screen!

On March 21st  we headed to the Ontario Theatre for the special viewing of my all time favorite epic movie, Casablanca! This all time classic stars the talented and handsome Humphrey Bogart (swoons) and Ingrid Bergman filmed in 1942. I couldn't wait for this TCM special event. Theatres all across the country were gearing up for this one day special event. Albrech and myself saw Casablanca on the big silver screen once before on Valentine's Day at the Downtown Disney Theatre a few years back. It was so exciting! It was once even more exciting this time! There was a great introduction done by TCM's very own Robert Osbourne. I practically begged for the poster that was greeting us all at the entrance but the managers wouldn't budge! Boo!

My Birthday! (Part 2)

The actual day of my 26th Birthday I celebrated it with family. The cool thing about my birthday is that I share it with my Grandfather. We were both born on April 27. My grandfather celebrated his 81ST birthday!!!! We all gathered at my grandparents house for cake and presents. It was a blast! The hubby got a custom cake made for us from my favorite old bakery in town, Noyes Bakery. They have a custom made flavor that I adore called Pink Champagne!

My 27th Birthday(Part 1)

The day before my 26th Birthday the hubby took me to my FAVORITE restaurant of all time...Northwoods Inn! I grew up in the Rosemead area most all my life but we live over an hour away so it isn't as easy to head down to this all time favorite of ours. Albrech surprised me with this pit stop during my "Birthday Adventure" as he called it. We made it in perfect timing for their Happy Hour where appetizers were only $3.98 and their famous cheese bread (the only reason I even eat there) was only .25 cents a slice!!! So of course we loaded up on tons of appetizers and bread...plus a HUGE piece of Mud Pie for under 25 bucks! Amazing!

Then after dinner, the hubby took us to Disneyland...our home away from home, to end the night. I of course received the annual birthday badge, but we were pleasantly surprised to receive the Honorary Citizens Badges. It was the end to a perfect day!

A time away...

Sorry for the backup on Posts! I have been busy with family...and unfortunately some bumps along the road. We recently lost our baby boy, Bear. He was diagnosed with Cancer so we had to make the unfortunate decision to put him down to stop his suffering. This was the hardest thing for me to do. It has really got us down. We don't have children so this was such a large loss for us. He was our pet son, if you will. Both my Uncles are in the ICU for heart problems, which was a huge hit to our family. So now that things have been getting a little bit easier...day by day, I have decided to return to the web world and start blogging once again!
