a good week…
Last Tuesday was Alec’s birthday and he celebrated in an extremely selfless way – by asking for donations to Generosity Water, a non-profit committed to helping the 1.1 billion people in our world without clean water. It’s a cause dear to our hearts and it’s an honor to partner with them to see wells built around the world. With Facebook donations from family and friends (and a few bills handed over to him in person) he raised almost $500 to bring clean water to those who need it! It will definitely become a tradition for us. Of course, we did take time to celebrate Alec – I made sure to indulge him with a homemade breakfast feast and we joined up with friends at a small pub in Santa Monica and had a great night.
Also last week, Alec and his production partner, Bob, shot a new web show! I’m not sure how much I can and cannot say, but I saw some of the footage and it is hilarious! They shot it in our apartment, so the day before the shoot, I came home to a clean, minimalist apartment and realized it was missing all our decorative items! Posters, beer cans and half dead plants took their place and soon, I was living in someone else’s pad! I was impressed and thankful to come home to a very clean apartment the night they finished the shoot – Alec and Bob cleaned up after their crew perfectly. After seeing the footage, I appreciated this even more – those guys made a very realistic bachelor pad! I am so proud of all Alec is doing and love seeing his new projects… stay tuned!
I spent Friday visiting my dear friend Cass and her newborn son, Alex. He was an angel and I loved sitting on the couch holding him, watching Dan In Real Life and listening to the rain. It’s hard to believe Cass and I used to sit on that same couch watching movies in the rain… but that was almost 7 years ago and we were settling into our first ‘real’ jobs, living in our first apartment out of college. Times are a changing! Later, Alec and I joined up with Michelle, Thom and their sons Tommy and Erik for their Friday dinner at The Counter and were fully entertained by Tommy’s antics. We love those boys!
Saturday, we helped organize a Valentine’s couples dinner at the Odyssey in Granada Hills. Our good friends, Anthony and Bonnie, had the idea and called on a group of us to pull it together. It turned out to be a wonderful night and we really enjoyed it! We had dinner (with a great view), dancing, salsa lessons, amazing prizes to raffle off, an inspiring message from our Pastors Philip and Holly, and of course, formal photos….
The planning team!
