Weekend in the life of...

Friday:

Massage @ National Holistic Institute College of Massage Therapy. If you live in L.A, you should check it out, $20 massages and you are not allowed to tip, so it really does cost you only $20 for a 50 min massage! They are by students, but so far I have had great massages. In January they had a deal where you bought 5 massages and you got one free, so really I'm paying around $16.

Dress shopping @ Lily's Bridal - sample sale till Oct 31, then off to Pebbles Bridal where I *may* have found the one - more on that later.

See Cirque du Soleil Kooza at the Santa Monica Pier with mi amor & my parents, then after the show get a drink and appetizers at Marisol Restaurant on the pier and walk around the beach. We all had an amazing time and it will be a memory I will look back on frequently. If you live near your parents, I definitely recommend going out on a "double date" with them, you get to see a different side to them and the quality time you spend with them is priceless.

Saturday:

Mi amor and I go to a 8 hour marriage prep, (mandatory if you want to get married in a Catholic Church) - more on that later but I just want to say that we both loved it & it was not at all religious, which we were afraid it would be.

Watch UFC fight at the Capitol City Sport Bar in Hollywood. My older brother got me into watching UFC about 6 years ago, and I was very happy that when mi amor & I met, he also loved watching it. Since it's the only sport I really love watching, we have a pact that I won't ever tell him not to watch sports as long as he does not make me watch them.

Sunday:

Impromptu dress shopping @ Mariposa Boutique to try on "the" dress and end up seeing another dress I love. - more on that later

Tailgate @ Rose Bowl for U2 concert with mi amor, future sister in law & her boyfriend. U2 rocks and was on my to see before I die list and mi amor made this a reality :-)
