So, compliments of my niece Taylor (Tay), I've been tagged. Tay you'll be happy to know I'm finally taking the time to respond to a tag:

So here goes:

1. if stranded on an island what three things would you bring other than food and water? um..... a good book, my camera and my ipod

2. What is your most prized possession? ooh that's a toughy, if we're talking non-material possessions, definitely my family, friends and my beliefs. for material things....probably my letters and random things saved from the past or my passport.

3.what is your motto? life is measured not by the number of breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away!

4.what different states have you lived in? Utah, Texas, California. Countries: Chile

5. Favorite song? I've always loved "The way you do the things you do" by UB40 and "Everything" by Michael Buble. Way too hard to limit it to just one!

i tag... (Kim, Kammy, Steph, Nat, Beck, Justin, Taryn, Kim A., Stacy, Melanie, Catherine) and anyone else who happens to stop by and see this post, i would love to see what you guys put down for your answers!

Happy Valentine's!!!

Can I just say I love Valentine's Day!! I know there are many Valentine's haters out there who disagree but to me it's more than romance, it's about showing your love to family, friends and all the other special people in your life. O.k., but I'll be honest, I am a sucker for all things romance: romantic comedies,letters, flowers and stories of how people met.

So this weekend was an unexpected one, but soooo fun. I had been dying to go and visit my friend Natalie and Dave and their kids in Vegas, plus I found out there was a Single's Conf. going on so figured why not? Nat and Dave were the perfect hosts as always and I love it because we just get going and could talk for hours without even noticing it. As for the conf., I'll admit, was a bit of a shocker to walk in and be one of the younger ones, since there was no age cap!! But there was a group closer to my age and I met some cool people and overall was really glad I went.

I guess the best surprise of the weekend was this:




You know who you are and thank you, thank you, now if I could just know who you are!! Seriously, you have no idea how these totally made my day, my week and just wanted you to know how much I appreciated them!

Am came out for a visit last weekend and we had such a great time! It went by way too quick. The thing I love best when family comes to visit is how easy it is. Seriously, we could sit around and do nothing and it would still be the greatest weekend. Luckily, we did get out a little. We went to a taping, wait make that 2 of the Bonnie Hunt Show in Culver City, (we were trying to score any additional freebies), we made out w/2 Superbowl tins of popcorn, they were no cruise to the Caribbean, but hey they were something. We were lucky to have such amazing weather while she was here. We also made it to the 3rd street promenade for a little shopping and to the beach, where we rented beach cruisers, which was so much fun, minus a couple of overzealous bikers w/horns. Thanks for the fun weekend Ambey!!
