take your fiancé to work day

i'm doing exactly what the title says today .... my hunny brought me to work today
& i'm doing a whole lotta of this...

selfies! ha

 and pondering life in my Cali hat

so yesterday was my law & ethics exam for dental hygiene and ..... i passed! Praise the Lord. hopefully i will be licensed mid may and start working ....gosh i miss my job...i don't miss waking up super early though. ;)

this past wknd was pretty eventful i think. we had our "precana" marriage prep class that is required by the catholic church. we both thought it was great however it was rather long and a little boring but nonetheless informational. one down, one more to go.

we decided to try a new non denominational church on sunday.... hmm and lets just say it did not feel like home. made me miss my home church so much - Neartown Church. it's hard to find a church home but i am determined to find the right one for us here in cali. being part of a church community is so important - you find a new family & friends - when you are so far away from your own. the church community is there for support, bible study groups, accountability, prayer, and its really an endless list. i hope & pray we will find our "home" soon.

God is sooooo good y'all! I am just overjoyed with all the blessings & answered prayers he has bestowed upon us these past couple of weeks.

we had dinner on saturday night with this lovely couple - the Ks - the first set of friends i met in california. i'm saddened that they will be leaving us in june - AK (left) got accepted to residency ortho program in new york & his wife- SK- (next to him) is a dentist - that's right people, we only hang out with dental peeps! ha jkjk.

we need toothpaste

i will get the hang of this "blogging" and make my blog pretty one day! :)

yesterday consisted of a whole lotta busy work ... research, research and a little more research on editing my blog, getting a domain etc. fun stuff...not really. to some this might come easy but for me, not so much. i want it to look perfect and i won't give up ha a little ocd much? maybe.

so i finally finished my last round of spray painting wine bottles for our wedding center pieces! yayay! (i hope) lets pray i don't break any. and a little more diy wedding projects were added on. lol it never eeeeends.

for hh we met up with a dr who refers patients to j, she was so nice. we need friends. plain and simple. chatted a little about life dentistry. a lot of it. we can't help but talk dental when we meet with other dental colleagues. just what we do. which reminded me that we needed toothpaste.

i don't think i have mentioned this and in case you don't know us already and you are reading this both j & i are in the dental field - he's an orthodontist and i'm a hygienist (i'm still not licensed to practice in cali but getting there) so in the mean time my full time job is: wedding planning, house fiancé, running along the coast, laying on the sand and most exciting of them all is loving on my lovebug and annoying him by counting his ribs. ;)

today, i will study. maybe. exam is next week. this am i had a nice relaxing 70 min massage, compliments of my Easter bunny ;) it was sooooo good and well deserved. on the way back home i stopped at a coffee shop down the street got a latte (my fave) and an almond croissant, couldn't resist it- took me back to Paris and their amazing chocolate almond croissants -which i ate every morning when we were there this past winter. oh so yummy. oh how i miss thee.

it's Friday, i ain't got no job, and i ain't got s*** to do...haha not really it's Friday and it means party i mean cleaning day! wah wah but it's gotta be done while the honey works hard for us i take care of the home. :)

au revoir

we like to match - blurrrr

Well, well, well! Cheers to my first blog ever!

As I laid on our couch last night I told my fiancé, I wanted to start blogging. Not knowing what blogging really is or how to do it but I really did think how sweet it would be for our kids (God willing) to look back at the archives of their moms blogs - the life of a lovebug (j) & a jelly bean (dee) through jb's eyes! We nicked named ourselves these names back in 2010 when we first started dating - I came up with "lovebug" because those lovebugs were everywhere that spring in Houston and I still haven't got a clue why he came up with "jelly bean" since he hates them.  ha I also thought it would be neat to keep our family and friends back in Texas posted on our sweet beachy life in California! :)

 when we made up those silly names for one another, circa 2010

SO we are about 107 days away from saying our "I do's!" Get excited for almost being close to the double digit countdown! woohoo!! I am so excited and cannot wait to marry the man of my dreams and love of my life.

I should be studying at the moment for my law & ethics dental hygiene exam that's coming up next week, but I am doing everything possible to avoid that. ha I also have some wedding diy projects going on all at once, that I should be working on ... maybe a cup of coffee will help get me going!

I will close with a bible verse that's been on my heart and mind the past week. -au revoir-

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" 
2 Corinthians 5:17
