One of the downsides of growing up in Southern CA is that we didn’t get much rain. We would experience light showers, but it was never so intense so that we had to stay inside. My childhood consisted of several trips to Venice beach and so many Disneyland visits to the point where I got tired of it. Yes, the…

Holidays are expensive. Therefore, they can absolutely suck sometimes. Hey, I’m one of the broke and humble ones. I still got holiday shopping to do; I’m hosting this year’s Christmas dinner, I haven’t gotten a tree or decorations, and my list goes on and on…and on.

How did you meet? On New Years Eve 2015 at my sister’s house. After a couple of drinks and chatting about how our grandmas went to the same school and got married in the same church (were both West Seattle natives) he got the nerve to ask me out on a date. I told him that if he remembers asking…
