April Recap

April was a crazy month. Outside of my chaotic workplace, there are also multiple weddings to prepare for, people to meet and pray for, details and decisions to finalize... I'm always so lifeless and exhausted by the end of each day and without my mom waking me up, I don't know how I'd be able to hear my alarm and get up in the mornings. It's amazing how God sustains each day and how comforting it is to draw near to Him in times of distress for rest.
The past month I celebrated my last birthday as a Miss. It was bittersweet and I think it's finally hitting me that I won't be living under my parent's roof in a few months. We ate at my favorite comfort-food Italian restaurant Mama D's in Manhattan Beach and then went home for dessert. My mom also left to Turkey the next day so it was nice to have a meal together. I appreciate the times we get to spend with each other and it makes me grateful that we are all united through Christ.

i love my ohana

These lovely ladies took me out for more Italian!lucky to be friends with them.

This month, Matt & I also sent out our save the dates! Everything just got more REAL and things suddenly started to pick up. Our coordinator sent us a timeline of when to get things done, my cousins who are out of town are buying their plane tickets, we're finalizing guest lists, doing our taste tests, booked our honeymoon and currently looking into where we'll be living for the next two years! Now that the bigger things are done, there are a lot of details to start thinking about.
It's funny how different guys and girls are. Matt is a big-picture, chill type of guy and I am so detail oriented with a planner-type personality. It's easy for me to think about ten things at once but Matt generally does one thing at a time. To make things smoother and for us to bicker less (haha), I started writing to-do post-its for him and I find it so cute that he has been looking at those post-it's and getting things done thoroughly one at a time. :)

 This past weekend, my friend Ashley came down from SF to have her bachelorette party in Socal! It has been an honor and privilege to experience engagement and wedding planning with a few of my good friends- Ashley being one of them :') We started the day in an Escape Room in Hollywood where we only had 50 minutes to escape the terrorizing wizard of the abandoned castle...We made it with a minute to spare. Really started to get into it... Hahah. Afterwards, we ate KBBQ and shaved ice in Korea town and enjoyed the rest of the evening walking around LA. It was so much fun and I can't wait to witness her union with David come July!!!

before we went in to the castle! U can see the door behind us.

My view while writing this post. It is 4:55 and I end in 5 minutes but I think I might leave a bit earlier today. :) TGIF!!! Have a good weekend ya'll.
