Lady in the Pool!

So as most of you know, it has been HOT here... beyond hot! And black dogs don't like the heat... but they do love pools! Or at least mine does!

The letter to the president

My mom recently went through all of my school records and came across some of my great writing. I thought I would give you a couple of samples. Notice the spelling... I was pretty good for 9 years old, but I had a couple of slip ups!

Letter written to President Reagan; I was nine years old.


"January 25, 1988
Dear President Reagan,
I think it's a good idea to have peace. If we didn't, kids will never have a future. It just won't be the same without peace.

If you can, please tell Nancy to call me. I want people to know about strangers. Kids in my school distric don't understand. Maybe when you visit your horses.

My school is: Ocean View School Cougars, 1208 Linda Dr., Arroyo Grande, CA 93420 1-805-489-1351.
My phone number is:

Please send a letter, two pictures of you and Nancy, with autographs, and two books. I want one for my friend. Don't send people and boms to anyone! Thank you!

Love,
Alisa Floyd"

I will post some more fun stuff later!!!

The one about our 1st anniversary!

I can't believe it has been a year since our wedding! We celebrated our anniversary on Monday night, nu-bleske style. Mike went by and got cake from Madonna Inn (we didn't save our cake topper- see below) and we packed a bottle of champagne and went by our favorite mexican take out for burritos to go. Then we headed out to Sunset Drive-In and watched Indiana Jones and Iron Man. It was perfect!

This last weekend was Mike's good friend (and business partner) Tei's wedding, and it just so happened to be at Tiber Canyon Ranch! We had a blast... Mike was in the wedding, and we enjoyed the company of old friends and new ones. Thursday started the festivities with an Attendants Get Together at the Dwiggins home. Friday, Mike enjoyed a boys only day, while I headed over to the office to help with flowers. We then headed over to the site for the rehearsal, followed by dinner at Seaventure. I hadn't been there in years, and it was quite good! I then headed out to finish flowers with the bride's family while Mike went out with the boys. Saturday was an early morning, more flowers, followed by site set up, and then a beautiful wedding! I don't have any pics yet, I am relying on others for pictures, but will post when I do. We then went to Native (the old Mission Grill) for an after party, which was a blast! Even the bride and groom came! It was nice to spend the weekend, reminiscing about our own wedding, but not having to do it again.

Here is a picture of us from a year ago, and one from this weekend.

PS: For our wedding cake, we had a Madonna Inn beauty. They advised us not to save the top, but instead, call them a week before our anniversary and they would make a copy of the top. Well, we forgot, so a couple of slices of cake from their bakery had to do :)
