GOOD FRIDAY.

Cute journal at Cotton On in Santa Monica.

Being inspired by 'Good Friday' and being super hungry, I decided to cook up a good meal for Victor and I. I got off work a couple hours before him so I had enough time to run to the grocery store and buy a few ingredients. I'm not the best cook, but I actually took the time to make this happen. I thought of the recipe in my head. I bought chicken breast and stuffed them with diced 'Italian style' tomatoes (they were seasoned with garlic, basil and oregano). I let the chicken breast marinate in the tomato sauce, and added a bit more garlic salt and basil with a few crushed red peppers. I grilled it all together along with fresh garlic and BOOM! I had two flavorful chicken breasts! I paired this with a light salad, some wheat pasta and garlic Texas toast. After dinner we headed down to Santa Monica and walked around the 3rd Street Promenade. We finally made it to Santa Monica, for the past 3 weeks I've been bugging Victor about going haha. We ended up leaving after about an hour and a half and stopped by Victor's favorite doughnut shop: Krispy Kremes.

HERE'S A VINE ROUND UP OF OUR

HOME.

It's 12:40am and I am blogging from our new BED!!! This is so exciting because our apartment is FINALLY coming along as we pictured it. These past few weeks have been crazy, getting everything ready, buying groceries, working hectic schedules and on our free time trying to enjoy our apartment and our time together. Below I will share a few photos from the last few weeks and past few days:

Our first outing together, the day after moving in at a friend's kids Toy Story themed B-day party.

Victor decorated our windows with some 4th of July lights that he purchased a while ago. He's been obsessing over classic American lifestyle so these lights represent him very well and serve as great night lights.

Victor has been cooking a lot and that is yet another thing he is very good at! Since he has been the chef I felt like surprising him one day with a romantic dinner as soon as he got home from work. We didn't have a dining table yet, so I had to work with what we had. He was very impressed with my Monterrey Jack Chicken dinner that I prepared (heck I was even impressed!).

Downtown LA has just opened up a new Target and we decided to check it out this past Friday. We actually spent all day driving through the city and finding hidden gems not too far from our apartment.

 Just outside Target on 7th + Figueroa.

That Friday we also took a trip to Highland Park, a city about 15 minutes from Old Town Pasadena with a lot of latin influences. We found the first ever Forever 21 store and even a movie theater that has $3 movies on Tuesdays and Wednesdays! We are planning to go very soon! There were great little shops around, a super cool bar, and BEAUTIFUL homes that I (along with Victor) fell in love with! Like always we had a photo-shoot and I'm sure Victor will soon make a blogpost about it here.

We ended our Friday night by heading to IKEA in Burbank, purchasing a dining room table and stopping for donuts at Krispy Kreme! I can't wait to post photos of our apartment but it isn't quite finished yet, almost!

I leave you all with a song that I currently have replaying in my head:
