I’ve been writing these Year-End posts for a long time now and I am extremely grateful for it. Before writing this years post I went back and read the past couple of years. One thing struck me loud and clear, every year you can see how truly blessed we are. God has been with us through some serious lows and incredible highs. Through it all we have learned so much, grown together, and had an incredible journey.

We moved into our Newport Beach apartment over a year ago but it hasn't been finished up until a few weeks ago. Our master bedroom remained mostly unchanged but the family room and the second bedroom have been completely revamped and redecorated. We transformed the second bedroom from a rarely used guest bedroom to a office/den.

If you know me at all you know I am a gigantic fan of The Office on NBC. I won't sugar coat it though the last few years have been pretty rough for the series. So I for one was glad to hear that this season, their ninth season, will be their final one. And if their recent Jim & Pam trailer is any indication on what is to come for the series last season I for one am super excited. 

I struggle every year to find something fun to do for my birthday. This year was the first year in many that I actually worked on my birthday. But that didn't stop Jenn and I from enjoying my birthday festivities. After an amazing happy hour at Yard House we walked over to the Island Cinema to see To Rome with Love.

Jenn and I have become big fans of Woody Allen movies over the last couple of years with two of our favorites in Match Point and Midnight in Paris. Going into To Rome With Love I had tempered expectations with all of the less then stellar reviews. However I am hear to say that I loved it. Not to the same extent of the movies mentioned earlier but still a great fun movie.

The first step to recovery is admiting you have a problem. Well everyone I have a problem. I am addicted to my iPhone. Not a little bit, a lot. I love my iPhone 4. Even if it isn't the latest and greatest. And even if the camera is broken and gives every picture an annoying glow. I still love my iPhone.

It was only a few years ago Jake introduced me to Jack Johnson. Since then I have really become a huge fan of his music, even enough to go see him concert a few years ago. So thinking about all of songs that Jack has released so far. I decided I will widdle down his library and pick some of my favorites.
