My birthday

My 24th birthday was on Thursday. I really had an amazing birthDAY... Actually I should say DAYS!!! On Thursday Chase, Aiden and I went to lunch at Slater's 50/50. It's a burger place that we had heard many good things about so we decided to try it out. They have so many unique burgers so we decided to order two different ones and split them. A huge perk of being married!!! We tried the original burger which has an egg on it and we tried the "flamin hot" burger which has jalapenos, green chilis, and ghost chilis in it!!!! The burgers were great! ( I'd say the flamin hot was the winner). But, the best part of lunch were the dill pickle chips!
Chase had to go to school that night, so my friends Shawna took me to dinner. It was just the two of us, no kids!!! I don't know how we got away with that but it was so fun and a much needed little break for us two. It was nice to just talk and eat without having to take care of our kids. There were several times throughout the night that we felt like we were missing/forgetting something lol! I'm so grateful for Shawna! She is an awesome friend :)
My birthday continued on Friday, first with lunch at Alicia's with Chase's Nana and sisters. I am so happy we all got to go to lunch together. Then, we went to dinner with my family at cheesecake factory! I love love love cheesecake so I had to get some on my birthday.
I'm so blessed to have so many people to celebrate with on my birthday! After it was all over I stopped and just thought about how grateful I am to have each and every person in my life. I have a loving husband, incredible son, a caring mom, amazing extended family, great friends and I'm even lucky enough to have an awesome in-law family! Yes, the food and birthday gifts were great, but the best part of my birthday was being surrounded by love!

Bananas over Yonanas!

Anyone heard about Yonanas? If you haven't you're missing out. So, I was watching Dr. Oz a while back ( yes, I watch Dr.Oz from time to time) and it was an episode about weight loss tips. Since I gained some unwanted weight while I was pregnant...and haven't lost it all yet, I tuned into the show. Some lady had lost a ton of weight and one thing she swore by was the Yonanas. What the heck is that, right? It is genius! It is a contraption that turns frozen bananas and other frozen fruit into ice cream!
I absolutely LOVE ice cream, but ice cream equals fat and I have more than enough of that. So, for Christmas I asked for this magical Yonanas machine and my lovely mother got it for me :). I was a bit skeptical on how good it would be but I am now in love! Even Chase liked it! Somehow it turns the frozen fruit into creamy ice cream consistency without all the fat. Just put the fruit in and out comes a frozen treat!!
I am excited that I can even make it for Aiden! I am going to get lots of good use out of this Christmas present :)

My baby doesn't want to be a baby :(

Aiden just turned 7 months old a few days ago, but I swear he wishes he was 7 YEARS old. Ever since he was born he has wanted to move... I thought once he learns how to roll over he'll be happy-nope! Then I thought, when he can crawl he will be happy....still no! So, now he is standing up on everything and trying to walk but he hasn't mastered that yet, which means he is still not satisfied! I definitely have a mover on my hands :) He keeps me running around all over the place but at least he always has a smile on his face. That darn smile makes it impossible to stay upset at anything!

Finally blogging!

Well, I have been saying I am going to start a blog since we got married...that was almost two years ago and I'm just starting now, but it's better late than never!
I guess I have a little bit of back tracking to do before I start on the day to day stuff. So here is a little bit about our family.
The Christensen Clan includes my husband Chase, our son Aiden and me (Desi). Chase and I met while we worked at a hotel by Disneyland a few years ago. We were instantly friends and then decided to finally give in and start dating since everyone knew we were perfect for each other! On March 27th, 2010 we tied the knot!!!!

About 6 months later we found out we were expecting our first baby (we don't like to waste any time!) :) Aiden was born on May 29th, 2011 and is the perfect addition to our little family! He is a super happy baby and is definitely a strong spirit. He hasn't stopped moving since the day he was born and he is in a hurry to grow up and run around with his older cousins!

Chase is working at AT&T while he finishes his degree in electrical engineering at Cal Poly Pomona. Hopefully he finishes soon so Aiden and I can spend more time with him!
I graduated from Cal State Fullerton a year ago and now I have the best job ever! I get to stay home with Aiden and watch him grow up, which is happening way too fast if you ask me!

Ok, so there is just some history to get this blog started. I plan on keeping this thing pretty up to date... But PLAN is the key word :)
