Once again, I've been absent from my blog and am finally playing catch up. Honestly, the last few months of my life have been less than ideal. I miss family. Am embroiled in craziness at work; however, I do have a few people that have sustained me during this time. I am grateful for them and the experiences we have enjoyed. Today I am blessed and .....

...........this week I celebrated my 29th birthday. 

My wonderful husband treated me to a night away in Santa Barbara. We had an ocean front view, toured wineries, shopped and did it ALL with Finley. 

I absolutely adore the wineries in Santa Ynez!

Isn't he HOT?!

Sunset in Santa Ynez. 

My attempt at getting Finley to pose in front of the vineyard. 

We woke up and did a 3 mile walk along the beach and Stearn's Wharf. I'm such a water girl this made my day!

"C'mon Finley, help me out here, buddy".

I love him so much!

My birthday celebration started early with two of my favorite people in LA.

Roblar Winery did food pairing with the wines....Wow!!!

I can't believe I live here moment. 

Birthday dinner night! 

I saw each of my nieces and nephews. 

Hungout with my partner in crime, my cousin Meredith. 

Went skating with Lily and Grayson. 

Laughed with Jax. 

We baked bread with my dad for NYE. (Okay, he baked it but we ate it).

Had a blast with my sister in law, but we call each other seester's. 

Finley went with us EVERYWHERE. He even rode on my lap during the flight.
