It doesn't happen often but every once in a while a movie comes out and shocks you. That was exactly the case with The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I rented it as a simple Redbox pickup for a Friday night where Jenn and I didn't have much going on. When we finished the movie we both knew we had just watched something epic. The movie had an incredible pace, an important message, and the perfect cast. You can relate to the characters, you feel for them, and you care what happens in the end. I loved The Perks of Being a Wallflower and can't wait to watch it again and again. 

A few weeks ago Jenn and I decided that we needed to start doing some quick weekend getaways. Didn't even have to be overnight we just wanted to get out of our Newport Beach/ Irvine comfort zone. We live in Orange County and there are some beautiful places near by so we decided lets go on a small adventure and just see what's happening in Laguna.

Last year Jenn and I did our first ever "favorite things" list from the year. Unlike my Year-In-Review which more gives a high level summary of the year, our favorite things goes to the stuff that we liked throughout the year whether it be TV, Music, Movies, Games, etc. 

So we are back now with our favorite things from 2012! 

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.
