November Randomess

November is another beautiful month in southern California. This is a sunset at the rose bowl where I was for one of my favorite past times running.

Excited for my run.

One morning we did a chalk outline of one of our team members after a particularly tough work out and a sweat angel left behind.

At work we always joke about how nobody ever gets out names right, one night while getting pizza with a friend my server apparently heard "sierra" when I said Tara…#itmustjustbeme

I found this amazing book, hilarious and awesome. #thismanismysoulmate

Some friends and I were talking one night about the fact that coke is so much more popular than pepsi…I agreed but said that I preferred pepsi and was always excited when it was available, the next morning I saw that the pepsi machine in the break room at work didn't actually care diet pepsi but only diet coke. #cokeforthewin

One night a few friends and I met up at a local foot massage place for massages, it's kinda in a back ally but super cheap. #takingarisk #crapyorgreat

We got some people together to celebrate Yolo's birthday.

And it was pumpkin creamer time. #can'tresistpumpkinflavor

I went through some tough cross fit work outs.

and came out with decent times. :)

And November faded as the holidays approached I met up with a date for a walk along the streets of a local beach town to see the lights. :) Great times.

Galaxy Game with the Fam

One Saturday in the beginning of October my parents, my sister and her husband and baby and I met up at the Stub Hub center for a galaxy game.

Here I am with Brianna ready for the game.

We discovered this awesome ap where they take pictures of you at exciting moments of the game. I was super excited at this moment.

We all got excited when the galaxy scored a goal.

and then another.

There were also moments of shock. 

Ready for the galaxy game in my new T-shirt.

Love watching soccer especially live with my faves!

Chase rice at the house of blues

As many of you know I love country music, Chase Rice is one of my favorite singers and so, so good looking  so when I saw he was coming to the house of blues on sunset I jumped at the chance to get tickets.

My friend Dani and I headed down to the house of blues for the show.

We met another group of girls and spent the whole night protecting our space on the floor, singing along and sighing over how good looking Chase Rice is.

New friends group selfie.

Chase looking cool singing to the ladies.

Shocked at how he could possibly be even better looking in person.

Such a fun night at one of my favorite LA venues. :)

October Randomness

In October I decided it was time to begin my pre holiday slim down and stocked up on fresh foods.

I also went downtown with a friend to see an up and coming country duo at this great old theater. Such an awesome and intimate show! Love LA.

I also spent a Saturday down in Irvine with my Bestie Hillary and spent time pool side…in October, Love LA.

I invested in a box of my favorite Sees candy….in spite of my pre holiday slim down plan. :)

I spent one Saturday afternoon with one of my besties Shayla who came down to go to the Temple with her ward.

Love LA.

Some friends and I went to see Pippin at the pant ages, I love, love that theater and the show was fun.

My coworker Carla got this blond wig for her Halloween costume and thought it made it kinda look like me. Lol.

Yolo and I indulged in Lucky boy on evening after home teaching! Best breakfast burritos EVER.

Dyane is the man, so he could finish a whole one. Such a great October full of fun.

SD Temple trip

One Saturday in early November a few of my friends from the branch and I loaded in a bus to head down to San Diego for the day. We started off the day with a session in the San Diego Temple. Here I am with my Roomies after our session.

And a silly one where we pretend to laugh…and Yolo just looks cute. 

After the Temple we went to old town San Diego and took a tour of an old haunted house. Here's Char, Dione and I ready for our tour.

Natalie and I on our tour.

Enjoying the view on from one of the non screened windows of the house.

Apparently the ghost like blonds…Jill and I fit the mold.

I just had to head down to get fresh tortillas while I was in old town.

I love that they make them fresh right here in front of you.

Ready to enjoy my delish tortillas.

Then we went down to the Mormon battalion visitor center for some fun panning for gold. 

Our group having fun in old town.  Such a great day in San Diego with friends. :)

More Halloween

For our branch Halloween party I dressed up like a nerd. Here I am with Kristi as Alice and Dani as cat woman.

As part of the party we got to make potions…like in Harry potter. It was legit.

Kristi and I handing out at the party.

Nerd girl.

Me, Clark, and Dani hanging out at the party. 

A group of friends and I went on the LA Zoo haunted hay ride. Here's our group.

And again with one of the scary zombie people who were wandering around scaring people while they waited.

Natalie, Dan, Justin and I waiting in the cage they put you in before you get on the wagon.

Our group in the cage: Jen, Rusty, Sereme, Jen, Jen's date, Natalie, Natalie's date, Kendra, Dan, Me, Justin.

We carved pumpkins for FHE. I carved a non traditional pumpkin for the first time ever! My cat turned out better than I expected.

It look pretty cool lit up.

Everyone did a great job on their pumpkin.

Here I am with my cat jack-o-lantern.
