Marvelous is going on a double date to Hollywood!

On Friday, Kyle and I went to a delicious Korean barbecue (all you can eat!) dinner followed by a trip to the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood with some friends. They had found a groupon for a movie night in which the theatre played three consecutive Frankenstein films. I’m usually such a wuss whenever it comes to scary movies, but the original “horror” movies were more than manageable ;). Our boys decided that they wanted to dress up and started coordinating outfits a couple of days before the event, way before us girls even were thinking about what to wear. What divas!

Kyle and I have been making good use of the nice summer weather and have spent quality time hiking and playing tennis. We have extensive trails near us that offer up a fantastic view and are so great for explorin’. Since Kyle has always been the outdoor-sy Eagle Scout type, we’ve been thinking that a trip to a neighboring island off the coast or the mountains would be fun trips to make. He’s been on 2 week long back packing trips before (yes, he was very smelly and hairy), and though I couldn’t handle the lack of showers or bloglovin’ for that long, a couple of days out in the fresh air sounds like a blast! I can’t think of a more pleasant way to get moving and break a sweat!

Marvelous is the boyfriend cooking up a delicious dinner.

Nothing like a home cooked meal of bratwurst, absolutely delicious baked potato fries, and salad! Kyle was so cute and put together a romantic and fun dinner date, complete with candle light and strawberry shortcakes! IMG_1057 IMG_1073 IMG_2766

My shortcake was piled high with strawberries and whipped cream like a champ, Kyle’s was much more ladylike. (what a pansy ;)!)

I don’t know about you guys, but I LOVE the Farmer’s Market! There’s atmosphere is filled with good cheer and fresh produce and everyone just seems to be in a wonderful mood. Just look at these beauties! While I didn’t end up buying anything but some lunch and flowers, I always enjoy just browsing the stalls at my own leisure and enjoying the sun.

Yes, I’m obsessed. How could you not love them? I mean, SERIOUSLY. LOOK AT THEM. LOOK AT THEM I SAY!

So on that awkward note, have a wonderful Monday!
