New Moon

I hate to admit it, but I'm really excited to see New Moon on Friday. I think Al has been dreading it, but no need to worry I'm going with Tonya and her mom. Al also gets to go to his very first couples baby shower on Saturday. Here's to cute pregnant Tonya.

Fight On!

On Saturday we went to the USC game. We parked by Greek Row which was like 2 miles away from the Coliseum, but I got to experience what college is really supposed to be like. The entire campus was packed with tailgaters and students acting crazy. I've never seen so many cute red and gold outfits. As I look back on all the games I went to at the U I realize they were NOTHING like this. Oh and I got to see the Kappa house which was also unreal.I'm going to see if they need house parents for next year.If you can't tell by the picture we had great seats.



My two favorite things about USC football games are 1-The hot dog carts all over campus on your way to the coliseum and 2-The white horse with a trojan that rides around the field after they score.
Even though USC lost and I don't really like football I had fun and will totally go again.

After the game we walked by student housing and everyone apparently rides beach cruisers. There were hundreds everywhere.Other then the USC game we did lots of exploring last week in Pasadena, Burbank, and a new little city we discovered called Montrose just up the street. So many good restaurants to try. I also got a Tiffany blue tea pot. Even though I don't drink tea I still love it and like Stacy said "if you're feeling really domestic you can boil water for a cup of hot chocolate."

Going Private

The time has come for us to go private. I think it's great people want to read our blog, but once again there are crepers out there.....probably more than we know. Leave your email address and I will send you a link!!

Stuff

One of my new friends from Anthropologie is a photographer and by that I mean a real one. She is trying to build up her website so I got to have my VERY own photoshoot last week. I probably won't get a 5 page spread in Cosmo, but they turned out pretty good for a beginner. On our way to the beach we stopped for breakfast in Brentwood and sat next to Helen Hunt. I didn't ask her for a picture because A-it looked like she had just rolled out of bed and B- I felt like she needed some time to herself. I did however get one of her backside and side profile
and my breakfast which was amazing
Moving on to my photoshoot in Malibu







If anyone needs a photographer and not just in California, call her because she is THE BEST and will hook you up!! Her website is jobimanson.com
On Friday night we went on a double date with Kathryn and Jeff. Randomly I went to highschool with Jeff and he is in our ward....small world After a yummy Indian dinner we went to the Observatory which is this amazing planetarium that looks out over like 50 different cities.

Overlook of Hollywood

L.A. and the smog
Contest for who could come up with the most creative pic with Einstein. I think Al and Jeff tied.



Famous Griffith Observatory
We also went to the L.A. zoo which was fabulous.
Apparently there is Malaria at the zoo.....makes you feel good right before you go in Random animals at the zoo




This zoo has the prettiest grounds. I felt like I was in the middle of the jungle in some parts
Al loves Lions
This guy has this ridiculously big lens and I thought it would be funny to take a picture Al wanted me to know what it's like to be a giraffe, so he put me on his shoulders.
I love giraffes



Al is almost as long as the California Condor
Here we all are at the Los Angeles Zoo......next zoo is Santa Barbara
