Jakks Pacific Company Party

On Friday December 12th my girlfriend Mackenzie and her fiance Adam invited Corey and I to her company party in Hollywood. It was by far the best company holiday party I have ever been to. Mackenzie scored us a limo to the party so we didn't have to worry about drinking and driving. Mark Rau and Justin Bartlett also joined us in the limo. No, they are not lovers! Here are some photos from our night out at Opera...

Fighting Amish & Just The Tip Holiday Party

This past Friday night my cousin Kristi organized the 3rd annual Fighting Amish Holiday Party. I guess because we added Corey's football team (Just The Tip) then the annual thing has to start back over with the 1st annual but either way it was totally worth having them join the party. The party was held at my brother's house and was potluck style which made it easy for everyone to contribute. The entire night was so much fun. Here are some pics of the awards ceremony. Corey got MRR (Most Reliable Receiver) and MVP (Most Valuable Punter). Kristi and Bartlett did the most amazing job with all of the awards. Everyone got one serious & one funny award and they were all so appropriate- it was hilarious! We also did a white elephant gift exchange which was when I got Tyrone as my gift. : )

Thanksgiving In Newport

Corey's sister Tiffany Rosenblum hosts Thanksgiving every year down at their house in Newport. I think I actually lucked out meeting an amazing guy with such a wonderful family because I still get to celebrate Christmas with my family every year- no debate! I love it! Tiffany is such a great cook too. I have gotten so many mouth watering recipes from her. The kids are so much fun to be around too. They are at great ages and into really fun things. Rachel is the oldest at 12 and loves to help out in the kitchen. I'm amazed but how smart she is and her writing ability. Ally is 10 and the basketball star of her school. She too is so responsible for her age and a joy to be around. Josh is the youngest at 7 and the only boy. He is into anything animals. He can tell you facts about the most random things all from watching Animal Planet. Here are some pics from our day down at their house.

Jmar's 30th Birthday Cruise to Mexico

Bon Voyage!!
Party Crew Before Leaving Port Last weekend was a blast. What a way to celebrate my cousin Justin's 30th birthday then on a 3 night cruise to Ensenada, Mexico!! 27 friends and family members definitely made it a weekend to remember. We set sail out of the Long Beach Port on Friday night and returned on Monday morning. I can honestly say that I have never been on a cruise before and it was so much fun. At times I felt the boat moving but for the most part its a floating city. Gambling was fun since I won but since Corey lost I think it cancels out. Boo!

Kayla & Brianna's Reggae Boat Cruise

Mackenzie, Me, Kristi, Kayla

Saturday night we went on a Reggae Boat cruise out of the Long Beach Harbor. The boat was by no means a yacht but it definitely was a sight for a fun evening out on the water with a live band. The weather was a little chilly for SoCal but once everyone got a few drinks in them it was perfect ; ) After the 3 hour cruise in the harbor Brianna's boyfriend Jay made arrangements for us all to go to a club in Long Beach called Sachi for bottle service. The place was absolutely huge with a number of different rooms and great music.

Party Time: Halloween 10/31/08

Halloween Party Kelly & Rebecca's Place For some reason adults in costumes make me laugh. Going to Kelly & Rebecca's for a house party on Friday night worked out well. We didn't have to worry about getting into a crowded bar only to wait in a long line to get drinks. Everyone came in costume and had a great time. Looking forward to next year when it is on a Saturday night! Corey dressed as "Turtle" from Entourage was the highlight of my night!The Geisha & Turtle

Hall-o-ween

Last night Corey and I carved pumpkins after a double header in flag football. I wanted to get them done last night so we would be able to enjoy them for a few nights. What do you think? Corey's pumpkin carving skills are pretty stellar and I must admit I didn't think I had it in me. We watched some show on The Food Network the other night with a pumpkin carving contest and I definitely have to give it to those guys. Pumpkin carving is not easy! My arm was killing me when we were finally finished but it was all worth it...
