Cali Time

I will never say no to visiting home (or Disneyland excursions frankly), so when my dad & his fiance changed their wedding location to Orange County I WAS SO GAME FOR GOING HOME FOR A FEW DAYS. I mean who can resist Bake N Broil, Taco Surf, Disneyland, beautiful weather, my friends, and most importantly, MY FAMILY.

Tis the Season

So December has basically come and past…but let me tell you, it was not a slow month! It might not have been the best December on record (yes, December is so my fave month), but it definitely was an active one! From starting the club season to the Tampa M2 to the AVCA Final Four to the new traditions at Xmas…wowsers!

Only a few more days of 2010 are left, and can we say THANK YOU!!! So ready to close the 2010 door and open the 2011 one…

One of Those Crazy Weekend’s

So this past weekend proved to be a tad bit action packed (the story of my life right now ironically). From the Mira Costa Alumni Match Fundraiser for D4K, to the Beach Babes Tournament, to Kashi and Chris’ wedding, to my dad’s belated family dinner…good times…haha. Actually, I truly can’t complain since the events ran pretty smoothly.

Fave moments of 08

So besides the pic moments, here are a couple things I won’t forget…

Probably the most amazing moment of my life (thus far): PEPPERING ON THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA

Other things that 08 was amazing for…

Concerts: Spice Girls and RUSH. VERY different, but both we classic. And for everyone who is a RUSH fan…go see them next time they are on tour…AMAZING.


Flying: I got to simulate flying for my belated bday…Ifly rocked!

My Golden Girls: I was blessed to have had to opportunity to coach the 08 12 Gold team this past year. They showed me the passion of loving a sport so much and also how to have fun…

My Family: With my mom and stepdad’s 25th wedding anniversary and Rosa’s 50th bday…tons of family was involved this year 🙂

My Friends: To both my old and new friends…thank you.

A Philly (as in Phillips) Christmas

Christmas is always interesting for me and my sis, Cheri. And after seeing the movie Four Christmases, I realized that one, we have 3 families we need to see (on our own) and two, our families are amazing, considering everything (go see the movie and you will understand).

ANYWAYS…first up is the Mohr Family tradition…XMAS eve at the grandparent’s house. This year, between my grandfather’s cancer and David (and fam) in Guam, we did our best to keep up all the normal traditions.










Next up…Rossetta’s (my stepmom’s) for XMAS day. Can we say SAUCE TIME!! Rosa’s italian feast is a present in itself!! Hahaha…







And lastly…congrats to my dad and his girlfriend, Kristen, who got engaged over the Xmas break in New Mexico. 🙂

My Belated Birthday Gift

So, this past Sunday, my sis Cheri arranged for a group of the family to take me to a surprise location for my bday. Well, it turned out to be the Broadway Smash, Wicked (or so I thought)! When we got to the historic Pantages theater, we were greeted by a line of people. Little did I know that we did not have tickets yet and that we were going to put our name into a “lottery” for $25 tickets. Did I mention that there were 7 of us and the only single tickets left on sale were the $202 & $250 tickets! Hahaha…so yea…we put our names into the lottery and waited. No one from our group was called so we ended up heading over to the Universal City Walk for dinner!













We ended up eating at Camachos (since Mexican is my fave food). Nothing like a typical family dinner that involves craziness right? Hahaha…then we ventured over to the I-Fly area. I-Fly is a simulated Sky Diving machine. And since they were offering half off their rates, Cheri, Silke, and me decided that we were going to do it! Oh yea…my first step to potentially sky diving (and for those who know me well, this is a HUGE first step since I hate flying).














The flying ended up being awesome! You really had to work on relaxing, arching your back, bending/straightening your legs, and keeping your head up. Hahaha. I was not the best at this (Cheri rocked and Silke was pretty impressive too), but at least I tried!! Thank you to everyone who came and paid for the event!! It was a night I won’t forgot 🙂
