So I am sure by now that you all know I am super good at blogging and I am obsessed with it. Haha. Well since my last blog much has happened (obvi) because it's been like 3 months since then. We haven't had any other major issues/excitements with the house since we moved in. I'm not much of a decorator since I have the creativity of a sloth (? I couldn't think of another animal off the top of my head that would do justice to represent my lack of creative-ness) but needless to say, I have been slowly getting cute things here and there for our home.
One of the many great things I have come to realize about living out here in beautiful Saratoga Springs is how it brings one closer to nature. And not in a good way. I have found about 234556 dead mice in the window wells of the house, lots of interesting bugs like beetles, wasps, there have been deer running through our backyard, yesterday I found a toad in my backyard. I have quickly realized since living here and being married to Trevor that I am more of a city girl than I ever realized. But I really do love living here---although if I could drop a bomb on all the millions of mice I would be a lot happier :)
Anyway moving on to updating you all because I know you all have been dying to know what has been going on in our lives..ha..since my last post the most important highlights was my adorable nephew Trent's first birthday!! Father's day of course. And probably the biggest event was our first anniversary!! Yayyyy we made it past the first year. Trevor and I decided to road trip to California and spend a few days there before heading out on a cruise to Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico. Now of course there had to be something that went wrong on this trip because life always seems to have a way of surprising us Paces. We decided to take his little sister's car (thanks kate) because it got better gas mileage than our Kia and plus we didn't want to put tons of miles on the Kia since we are leasing it. Well right as we pull out from meeting Katelyn to exchange cars the check engine light went on. Red flag right? Duhhhh!! I don't know what we were thinking driving away and deciding we would be fine. Here is what the car kinda looked like for those of you who need a mental image while telling this story...
Okay it wasn't this small but really it felt this small. Anyway so we get to California with no problems. Well the plan was we drove straight to the LA Dodgers game (boooo Dodgers, go Giants) anyway so the game is over and we head back to the car. Well I was the one to drive since I am obviously the experienced California driver in the family. Well as I turn the car on and pedal to the metal so that I can flip a bihhhhhh the car JUST RANDOMLY WON'T GO RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. So I had to quickly put it in park, turn the engine off, and turn it back on. Well it starts to go but barely. We finally make it to the freeway and it's like the car has no guts and doesn't want to drive. And all this is happening on the freeway in LA and I really don't know where I am going, and it's dark outside which makes me want to pee me pants. By this time my anxiety shot through the roof and I feel like a mad woman driving on the freeway. So we make it to our hotel and we park the car and hope that it decides to work the next day-which the next day we went to Knott's Berry Farm. Luckily it was within walking distance because the car decided to turn against us. The next day before our cruise we ended up having to leave the car at a dealership to get worked on while we were on our cruise. Yeahhh buddy.
Well the cruise was a lot of fun. Although it was overcast and cold the whole time except for the last day of the cruise. Luckily being the smart people that we are Trevor and I both only packed 1 pair of pants and 1 sweater each. And I got pretty sea sick the last day of the cruise and I felt like I wanted to chop my head off. But we had a lot of fun on Catalina Island riding bikes around the city, shopping, andddd that's about it because the town is about half the size of the Gateway Mall. In Ensenada we went to the blowhole and did some shopping. I think our favorite part of being on the cruise ship was the ice cream and definitely the karaoke...yup definitely the karaoke. I don't know that we will be doing a cruise anytime in the future because we decided we love all inclusive resorts much better, but it was a blast-especially since I got to be with Trevor the whole time :) (awww) Anyway we get back into port and get to the dealership to pick up our amazing car and right when Trevor goes to turn it on (after it was supposedly fixed) the car shook like a 10 foot yeti was shaking it---but then it eventually was fine and we got back on the road crossing our fingers that it would make the trip back. And it did.
