Engagement Photos

These awesome pictures were taken by the talented Auburn Jones at the Mesa Art Center. I am so glad she took them..If you want any info on the girl let me know. She also helped with my save the date which I can't wait to send out. I'll post that after everyone has gotten theirs!

Christmas!

Here are some Christmas photos. You can see our little 6 foot tree that we got. This year was the first time I stayed in Arizona. Mom and Dad came out here too to celebrate my birthday and Christmas. We opened presents in the morning with just the 5 of us. Mike's mom came over for a little bit for breakfast. Then it was off to his brother and sister in laws house where Mike's dad and little brother Joe also celebrate and had a lovely prime rib dinner...dont mention that to Suzie she was not happy there was no ham! All in all it was a great day and I am glad everyone was together.

Christmas Card

Here's the Christmas Card that I sent this year! Not the best picture but whatever. Tonight was the start of Christmas decorating. Mike and Mike Ohara hung up lights outside the house. What a chore that was for them. We built our fake tree we got at Target on black friday and hung ornaments. I also found the stocking and hung those up. Pictures will be posted later. But everything is almost complete a few presents left to buy and thats it. It will be wierd spending Christmas not in San Diego but as long as the Brown clan is together thats all that matters :)!

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving this year was held at our new house. We had a total of 12 people come over. Both of Mike's brothers Robert and Joe, sister in law Heather, my parents, my sister Suzie, my sisters boyfriend Blake, Heather's mom Nancy and Heather's brother and girlfriend Chris and Tara. So it definitely was a packed house. We made a huge dinner with all the fixins. It also was the day ASU and USC met at Sun Devil stadium. Since me and mom are huge ASU fans and my dad is a huge USC fan it was an interesting day of talkin! All in all it was a great day and now its time to get Christmas goin.

Seven Random Things about Angela!

1. I am addicted to spider solitaire. If I am not on the Internet I am probably playing this game on either the laptop in front of the TV or in the office. My dad is addicted too so I have a feeling its hereditary.

2. I {heart} pens! I have kind of an obsession...I like to buy new pens if thats sharpies, ballpoint or permament (like my new fav the BIC markers). I also like to steal other peoples pens like from offices or restaurants. It was my goal when I was marketing for Costco to steal at least one pen from one business we saw that day. I think its the inner rebel in me. (bad catholic I know)

3. Reality TV takes over my life! I watch every MTV show like the Hills and Tila Tequila. I love Top Model, Dancing with the Stars, Amazing Race, the Real Housewifes of Orange County. All these shows are great and I talk about them at work in great length like its my life and these people are my friends(especially Lauren and the gang on the Hills)

4. I would love to go back to school. If its a community college or ASU it doesn't matter. I would love to go to school for photography since I really like to take pictures. I change my mind everyday.

5. I never try things on in the store. I hate store dressing rooms and usually know what I want and if it doesnt fit hopefully I can return it.

6. I LOVE pumpkin pie. My mom makes two pies for Thanksgiving..one for me and one for everyone else. Then she makes me a pie for my birthday(on Christmas Eve) and then I proceed to have it for every meal especially for breakfast!

7. I love to go to the movies by myself. I know thats wierd since I have plenty of people to take to the movies with me especially Mike. He loves to go to the movies. When we first started dating we used to go every Friday night after work. But most of the movies I go to myself are the movies that every 14 year old is at like the Princess Diaries and A Cinderella Story or the song and dance movies like Hairspray and Dreamgirls!
