Katie turns 24!!!

So this weekend since Chris was still healing and we just got through the move Katie and Chris came to LA to celebrate her turning 24! Katie decided she wanted to do as many cliche LA things as she could in one weekend. So Friday night we started out by hitting up Pink Taco. It was a wild night with lots of tequila and a grand finale at Pinkberry. yum!

Her first trip to Pink Berry
On Saturday morning we woke up and headed over to the Newsroom Cafe. We scored great outdoor seating that let us check out all of the interesting people on Robertson Blvd. Katie was very excited about this "feel good" tea to help her sore throat but instead the cayanne pepper burned her tummy! ouch!

New Apartment!

So in the middle of all the chaos these past two weeks we were also moving to the upstairs apartment across from us that just became available. Even though it was a hassle we really love the new place. It is bright and cheery and has great views of the city.

BYE BYE APPENDIX

So first I want to thank everyone who sent sweet thoughts and love our way. Last Friday, after 3 days of complaining of stomach pains, Chris was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery to have his Appendix out. I know that everyone is asking why he waited so long but he was being a boy about it and thought it would go away.

He had a great surgeon who skipped the cat scan and got him right into surgery. his appendix had BURST and built a natural wall around itself to block the toxins from the rest of the body. This then abscessed and became gangrenous. Yucky. Here is what it looked like:

YUCK I KNOW! You will never look at orange chicken the same again. haha. Got you.

A healthy appendix should be plump and pink like your intestine. He was able to have it done laproscopically and forgo the large incision many people have. The doctor said it was a 7 out 10 in severity so he was really lucky to get it out in time. I cried like a little baby for 3 hours. He was in his room at 10:30pm Friday and was discharged Monday afternoon.
While he slept Angela and I went to lunch on the famous Robertson Blvd which houses The Ivy. This is the paparazzi craziness that was going on Sunday afternoon. I did a lot of this while waiting and being nurse. Everyone working there thought I was his sister and that Angela was his wife! Then I threw down the wife card and they knew I meant business! hehe

I really could not have gotten through any of the hospital/move/decorating new apartment without my amazing sister-in-law. She was there for me and Chris every day and helped us get through this really tough time. We love her. Isn't she pretty :)
So the most important thing is that my baby is better and resting on the couch. I am so grateful for everyone at Cedars and for my family and friends. Chris was such a trooper through all of this and I am glad that it is over. Only Chris would wear sunglasses to exit the hospital.

xoxo,

Amy's 25th Birthday

OK everyone I have finally gotten to updating my blog from my birthday. It was amazing from start to finish. I'm going to start off with the highlight of holding a gun:
Chris was great enough to organize dinner and bowling with all of our amazing friends. We started off the night at Don Antonio's with margaritas and yummy greasy food and then headed to the bowling alley to work it off. After an awesome game we headed to Barcopa to go dancing. Lets just say Chris had to carry me out. Mei mey!


On the actual day Chris and I took the day off and I decided to do something at 25 that I have never done before - learn to shoot! It was loud and awesome and the first time I shot I got him in the head! watch out world! I even bought an LA Gun Club t-shirt. We finished the night with friends and family drinking wine and eating the delicious food Chris made. It was an amazing birthday!

LA Weekend

Here are a few pics from our weekend. I got to see my favorite Elli Smith which meant craziness, partying and dancing. Love her.

The crazy condo that overlooked the whole city where we pre partied This is the best bar I have ever been to in my life. Downtown LA's La Cita. It was like being in Mexico with a hipster vibe. Friday night was Punky Reggae Night.
