Later on... at House Red

After recording on Sunday night a few us went home to relax and sip on martini's.... here's a sneak peak of life after the party!

This is what happens when an Ozzie Leaves... sadness

Sadly, Cassie had to leave us... I was amazed after just 10 short days how many people were clearly very sad that she was moving on! And... still it's a bit disturbing how much they all talk about her (I'm starting to wonder if they wish I had gone on that trip! JUST KIDDING)... Anyway. We took a night out to celebrate Mollie's Birthday whilst commiserating Cassie's exit from San Diego with new and old friends alike!

Me and my new friend Tin Tin (I mean Christian)... seriously I did think that I had met Tin Tin in the human flesh when I first met Christian... he is gracious enough to let me continue calling him that and all the Ozzies and New Zealanders (and I suppose the English if I knew any here) can appreciate how endearing that really is!

Tin Tin and Cassie...
Tom, Shazad and Kathy
Cassie's absolutley favourite couple in America... Shazhad and Shahrzad ("Shaz and Shaz") she even tried to get herself married into the family! I'm with you Cassie I love these guys too!

Anyway, all in all we are hoping to have a "Cassie CAME BACK" party in November if all goes well and she changes her plans! Yay for San Diego...

This is what happens when an Ozzie comes to town...

It was an absolute pleasure to recently share my life with Cassie for 10 days! Who would have known she was this much fun! Cassie came to town before heading off to South America for 4 months of pure craziness. I think she thought she would mostly just sit on the beach and relax. Instead I introduced her to the full Yvette experience and all it involves!
A bike ride along the beach led us to what I call the circus on Mission Beach, Cassie was happy to be there...
A walk through gorgeous La Jolla with J.J, who spent the week making me look much cooler than I really am! Showing us around and making sure Cassie had an incredible time.
Me, J.J and Cassie out somewhere? I can't even remember where now! But it was FUN
Cassie and I on our way to dinner so we could watch the Olympic opening and have a glass of wine... which turned into making a new friend (Mollie) and then a night at the "Shaz" house! Tooooo much fun!
Tom, Mollie, Me, Shazad, Cassie and J.J before the night ended with a Justin Timberlake concert in the living room (At which point J.J. decided he was now J.T! Wish I had a video of that for you!)

Back in town with the Hubbards.... always a GREAT night

So... it's been months and months since I last got a chance to hang out with the Hubbard's (Matt & Kala) who are always the funnest people in San Diego to be with! This weekend we headed out to the best of San Diego Magazine celebration (which sadly I have no pictures of because I am dependent on borrowed cameras right now) and then Matt got inspired to come out downtown and we all headed back to their place to jump in the limo! Headed downtown to a hotel which of course Matt had unbelievable hook ups at and I spent the rest of the night drinking Moet and meeting new people! Life is not getting any slower here in San Diego!
Kala and Me...
This is Kala in the limo, turning up the music!
Kala, Matt (not her husband), Me and our new friend Jason (although I'm pretty sure I called him James all night!)
Jason and I... his face suggests that once again I had called him James... for no good reason! Could have been all that Moet.

Project build a church...

The application process for our city approval and permits to build are in full throttle! Below are some pictures of the land that Christian City Church San Diego is in escrow for! We are working our tails off trying to get plans and reports together from the architecture to the traffic surveys and environmental reports so we can get the approval from the city of Encinitas to build the greatest church in San Diego! We're excited to say the least!

Only in America....

So a week ago I popped down to LA for another weekend celebrating Dan and Leah's birthday and a stay in the gorgeous Hermosa Beach (a little outside LA) with Kelley who took me to the 6 man volleyball tournament on the Saturday... I have to say at first discussion I wasn't overly excited about the prospect and couldn't understand what all the fuss was about, until I finally dragged myself off the couch at 3pm to head down to the beach to meet up with everyone to find myself in the land of 'eye candy' and all things crazy about America... O what a day! Next year I'll be making sure I prepare myself with an early nights sleep so I don't miss a thing!
