California Adventures pt3: Yummy in my Tummy!

After the Mister was done working, we got to play
aka
 EAT LOTS OF FOOD! 

Due to a friend Charmin Bear's recommendation I have always wanted to visit this place.

Sushi Stop
A sushi bar where ALL ITEMS ( rolls, nigiri, etc) you order is $2.75. I wasn't going there with high expectations and even though the rice was falling apart and the fish wasn't perfectly sliced, it was fresh and yummy.

I was so happy that you can tell from my photos
as I am staring heavenly at my sushi chef .

I wish they had this in Boston because it would fill my never-ending sushi cravings and not break the bank. 

Another recommendation my friend told me to go

Half and Half: 

It is honey milk with honey boba and pudding. I have never had pudding before so it was interesting. It doesn't taste super sweet (which I like) and the size is hugeeeee. I would think something like this costs >5.00 which is a large for Lollicup but this was only ~3-4 so it was awesome!!!!

Next stop was Fluff Ice

Not Frozen Yogurt and not Shaved Ice, not sure how to explain what it is but it is soft and melt in your mouth - sortof like ice cream. They have a limited number of flavors but they had a lot of unique ones such as the Thai Ice Tea flavored Fluff Ice. We got that with the lychee and mango jelly. It was a great combination. 

These places are NOT in the East Coast so I will eat to my stomach's desire! 

It was a short trip to LA so we couldn't do more other than quick snacks here and there but it was very fun. 

Thank you to our friends who housed us and took us around.

XOXO,
Marley

California Adventures pt2 : R&R

It's nice to get away for a bit and just ... ponder.
The Mister had to work all day and night so I was left with my own devices.

Our hotel was basically surrounding by this....

and this 

So the choices of what to do was somewhat limited. 

I was still more excited by the food :)   

Things I did : 

- Finished the novel 'Fifty Shades Freed' in a day. There's too much bedroom action going on,  Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey are cray cray!
- Went to the shopping mall but didn't want to buy anything since there is tax on clothes?!??!
- Tanned by the pool all morning and pitter patter in the water but couldn't last too long since the weather was a sweltering 106*. 

By the pool, I saw this little boy and he was super cute. Is it creepy to take photos of other people's children? My first thoughts of this photo.....

LIKE A BOSS

The only time I may ever want children is so that I can take silly pictures of them and post it like the one above!

XOXO,
Marley

California Adventures pt1 : First Class Experience

The Mister had to travel to California for work so he took me along! It was really last minute since we had to book tickets the day before we had to fly out. Is it lame to be OVERLY excited about first class?!?!?!

DUDE! It's my first time so I was jumping up and down inside

......until he told me that he bought himself an economy ticket......  

I was SUPER mad at the Mister for buying me a first class ticket and not experiencing it with me. I don't want to sit next to a strange old fart!!!!!  

Luckily when we checked into the airport he got a free upgrade and was able to change his seat next to mines :) 

I remember a time when I sat in those small economy seats and being feed meals. That was a longggg time ago. Now MAYBE you could get a can of soda and for $7.49 some cheese and crackers. Sadness.

First Class flight attendants are so much more attentive to you. Before the plane even goes up they offer you a drink. All drinks and alcohol is free, then during the flight they offer you another. They give you a warm towelette to refresh your face and clean your hands with. You can have white or red wine with you meal. They walk around asking Croissant or Cinnamon roll. And in the end you get a cookie!

Very classy :)

A+ !

XOXO,

Marley

July Update

Nothing much to update this month except that the Mister cerebrated his BIRTHDAY!!!!  He is now 1 year older and his body definitely has been rebelling against him. We went for a run and while I scolded him for not stretching, he would replied in a matter of fact tone  'I never have to stretch'. 
......a few hours later....... He can barely walk because he strained his left butt cheek- YES HIS LEFT BUTTOCK.
...the next day... he accidentally cut himself in the hand.
...a week later... twisted his ankle at work
...the month before... broke his hand

I think I have met my match because I have never met anyone as clumsy as I, either that or someone has cursed him using a voodoo doll. 
Anywho.....
I can't believe I have less than a month until school starts again. I was trying to document a lot of the stuff we say to each other because he just cracks me up! It will give me a chance to look back on it while I am stressing over exams. 


While watching a 'Kendra On Top' in Miami episode: Mister: oh hey!!! We went to that club!!!! ( pointing excitedly) ..me ignoring him.. Mister: HEY!!! WE WENT TO THAT CLUB!!!! ( giving me the pay attention to me voice) ...me giving him the evil eye... Marley: um when did we go to Miami together??  Mister:( gives me an oh crap look) ...me eye rolling...
Because I make such a mess: Mister:  I can't wait to do a full cleaning of this house. It will be so orgasmic. 
Arguing about his and mines: Mister: When you talk to your friends, it's OUR porch. But when it comes down to cleaning it, it's MY porch?!?!?!

When we go out:

Marley: Do I look like a grandma? Mister: ...... { walks away} XOXO, Marley

June Update

It has been pretty busy. Everyone is getting married this summer! For the past 3 weekends, we have gone to Philly, Rhode Island, and NY for weddings. Being engaged and going to weddings; you have a different outlook on it. I've gone to weddings before and I've never noticed details like I do now. We find ourselves always observing what we like, what we didn't like, and what we want to incorporate. I can tell when a bride  puts herself in the small pieces. 
It's pretty funny when the Mister guesstimates whether a table is 60 inches or 72 inches and how many people can fit in one. We don't like talking about weddings but it just comes up in everyday conversation.

Wedding 1 Theme: Love Next Door
The theme of the wedding was super cute 'Love Next Door'. The bride and groom have been friends since they were kids and lived next door to one another but never started dating until they were older. 

Groomsmen holding the bouquets.

We all wore blue (coincidentally was the bride's colors)!

Wedding 2:  I had so much fun because it was like a college reunion and the first of my close friends to get married.

Wedding 3:
There was A LOT of drinking. I didn't take too many photos because we were so busy dancing the whole night. It started pretty early and I almost missed eating my dessert!

So Cheesy! 

 It's when memories like these happen, the small details aren't important. 

You can't plan for events like ....

when your feet hurt and the mister lets you borrow his shoes because he doesn't want me to walk around barefoot. 

No Comment. LOL 

The Mister trying to catch the garter belt for me! He tried to jump in front of the crowd but jumped a second too soon. 

Yay! It has been really fun and we were so honored to be apart of our friend's and family special day! 

Thank you. 

XOXO

Engagement Photos

Last Tuesday we were lucky enough to get an engagement shoot with the wonderful Shang Chen Photography. When I got the email with a sneak peak of our photos on her blog, I SQUEALED! I was tehheheheheing as the site slowlyyyyyy loaded on my mobile. I just have an IPhone so our heads were knocking into each other as we I (the Mister does NOT like to read) excitingly read through her blog together. 
It was our first time being professionally photographed  but Shang helped us and was super encouraging in directing our shots. She is Crazy-A$$ talented and I am so heartbroken that she will be retiring soon. I have been an avid blog follower of her work for a while and without reading the captions of the photos you can tell the range of emotions and moments she captures of  each of her clients and for that, Shang is a true story teller.  
We are so happy to have had the chance to be photographed by her and to share some of the 'moments' she captured of us!
Her Blog: http://shangchenphoto.com/Our Engagement Shoot: http://shangchenphoto.com/engagements/boston-engagement-photography-marlana-phong/

I recommended looking at her other posts too. Literally whenever I read her other couples, I feel so warm and fuzzy inside because love is radiating out of her photos!

Laughing for no reason

Today I helped Mommy Yee clear out the garage and paint the doors so it will be nice and pretty for this weekend's Temple grand opening. On my way home I became very excited to see the Mister. When I did get home,  I found him asleep in bed at 7:30pm. 

I guess as we are getting older, our sleep schedules get earlier. Yesterday we slept at 8:30pm. The past few weeks it has been 9pm. 

Then I did what a caring fiance would do... I jumped onto the bed and woke him up! 

He was a bit dazed and confused. Even though he kept asking me for five more minutes I was too excited and wanted to wake up him so we could just talk. Then for some odd reason I giggled. He asked me repeatedly why I was laughing. I was laughing for no reason but I didn't answer. Then he pointed his finger at me and  responded with "ARE YOU LAUGHING AT MY MAN BOOBS!!!!!!" 

At that point I could not stop laughing. We were laughing out loud crazy as the Mister tried to cover up himself with our blanket. 

No worries honey, you have no man boobs and if you did, I would love them too- more to hug!
