This was the highlight of our Friday...Picked up @alexa.chann ‘s #varsityjacket in between job site visits. She was so excited to try it on. Here’s hoping she gets a chance to really shine this school year and fill in the jacket with amazing accomplishments over the next 3 years. 💪🏼🙌🏼🤩

Day 3-4 of our #sanecation has been interesting.

Day 3-4 of our #sanecation has been interesting. LA is very similar to life at home with a lot of businesses still closed, only select restaurants with outdoor dining and limited places to hang out. Turns out our hotel is very popular with the entertainment crowd. 😳 We logged some pool time yesterday and outdoor shopping at the Grove was a great way to soak up the beautiful weather today. We’ve enjoyed lots of comfort food - ramen, Korean BBQ, tried a new cold noodle dish that is now my fave but why did they bring this out after I was already full?!! I had to make myself eat as much as I could without exploding. Hope you all had a good weekend. One more day before we’re back to work... sigh. 🤪#alandalsummer2020 #adayinthelifeofalandal

Day 2 of Al and al’s sanecation started off with

Day 2 of Al and al’s sanecation started off with a bike ride around downtown Santa Barbara and açaí bowls for breakfast. Then we headed to Malibu where we’re staying at the @thesurfridermalibu, the cutest boutique hotel! We had lunch at the @malibufarm cafe on the pier, went standup paddle boarding at the beach then enjoyed a relaxing evening on the rooftop deck - reading (what a luxury), eating dinner then dessert and hot drinks by the fire as the sun set on an awesome day! Now I need a huge fire pit at home... but the part I really want is the ocean view ... sigh! Hope you all had a fantastic Thursday. We’re off to another adventure tomorrow... thanks for following along. #adayinthelifeofalandal #alandalsummer2020 #alandalsanecation

We’ve been working non-stop and needed a sanity

We’ve been working non-stop and needed a sanity break and a change of scenery so we packed up (not very well BTW - thank God for Target!) and we made it to Santa Barbara for lunch. It’s pretty quiet down here which we appreciate. We were too late to the bike rental shop so we just walked along the beach and breathed in some ocean air through our masks 😷🙄. We’ve had two incredible meals and look forward to our morning bike ride to grab breakfast and see the town before heading to our next location. Any guesses where we’re going? #adayinthelifeofalandal #alandalsummer2020 #alandalsanecation

This #gymnastics #memoryblanket has been on the #t

This #gymnastics #memoryblanket has been on the #todolist for so long and it’s finally done!!! @alexa.chann stayed up til 3am finishing it and it turned out sooo good. It’s definitely a labor of love. These are a collection of t-shirts and sweatshirts from her #gymnasticslife and #gymnasticsmeet s since 2010. It was 3 solid days of work but such a fun personal accessory. 🤸🏻‍♂️💪🏼🙌🏼

#HappyFriday friends! Hope you’re having a good

#HappyFriday friends! Hope you’re having a good week. The last few months has been a rollercoaster of events and emotions. My best life advice for you is get yourself a tribe who cheer you on. There will be tough times, unpredictable times, uncertain futures, and just plain bad days but if you have a support system around you to keep you going, that’s half the battle. The rest is up to you. How you handle adversity is a choice. Wallow in negativity or rise above and kick some a$$! I vote for the latter and I’ll always cheer you on but I won’t support you in complaining about your situation if you’re not willing to make a change. End of pep talk by Alice 🤗

This was @alexa.chann ‘s first time #wakesurfing After several attempts and one 12 second run 🎉 this was her longest upright ride at over a minute. I had to edit the video down to make it fit in one frame. It’s so fun to hear everyone cheering for her.
🤩
Have a great weekend and BE SAFE! 😷

Happy Birthday America! 🎉🇺🇸 while purging

Happy Birthday America! 🎉🇺🇸 while purging my office, we found this piece that @alexa.chann drew for art class in middle school. Those are her hands that she traced and filled in with the flag. I think it’s frame worthy! 🤩 Considering the volatile state the US is currently in, we wish everyone a safe and happy holiday. May we all enjoy the freedoms this nation is supposed to offer us. Happy #4thofjuly !! 💞

Got to visit with my Dad today. He hasn’t left t

Got to visit with my Dad today. He hasn’t left the house in 4 months! I brought him my massager to try since he sits so much and it has to be tiring. At first he didn’t like it then he didn’t lean back as hard so there was less pressure and it was more comfortable. I also convinced him to try a foot massager that I ordered since his extremities don’t get very good circulation so his hands and feet get cold. I think it’ll really help. I usually give him a massage when I see him but since I haven’t been able to and will still try to limit the visits, this will be even better!
Oh and when I asked what he wanted to eat next time - something he hasn’t had in awhile, he requested KFC and we laughed cuz we can’t remember the last time we had KFC... could be the 80s! 🤪 and he specifically said NOT extra crispy!! HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!

Love the lush tropical landscape 🌴of the KaMilo

Love the lush tropical landscape 🌴of the KaMilo at Mauna Alani community on the Big Island of Hawaii. I had the pleasure of setting up my client’s home in December and it’s just waiting for my visit. 🌺
If anyone knows when the 2 week quarantine in Hawaii is lifted, let me know cuz I’m ready for a vacay!! 😎Anyone else?!! My client’s home was just getting landscaped when I was in town but scroll through to see their beautiful entry. #hawaiihomes

This girl... after 10.5 years dedicated to #gymnas

This girl... after 10.5 years dedicated to #gymnastics, we decided to pivot last Fall when it became clear that she had gotten all she could out of the sport. She’s self-diagnosed as allergic to any sport with a ball (although she enjoys basketball for fun) so after meeting Coach Ben during our tour at @moreaucatholic she gave #polevaulting a try. 🤸🏻‍♀️
She started training in November before the holidays and enjoyed her first #polevaultsummit and 3 pre-season events before everything came to a halt. She was the only #VarsityFreshman #polevaulter and placed 5th in the region (ranking as a Freshman amongst upperclassmen). 🏆
Curious how she was doing, we did some research and learned that she is currently ranked 9️⃣out of 1204 Freshman High School Women athletes in the State of California, 5️⃣2️⃣out of 3929 Freshman High School Pole Vaulters in the US, and 6️⃣0️⃣1️⃣ in Women’s High School across the country! 🤯 and we just barely got started. In fact, #trackandfield never had a season this year. 😢
So... We were very excited that she received the 2020 Varsity Girls Track and Field “NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR” award and her #varsityletter while maintaining incredible grades. It was the lift in spirits we needed from all the heaviness in the world right now. 🤗
I post these stats not to brag but as a benchmark to know where she is and what she needs to strive for to reach her goals. There are amazing athletes doing unreal things out there. She doesn’t need to compete with them. That’s the beauty of gymnastics and pole vaulting ... you’re always competing with yourself and reaching for that next PR (personal record). You can’t blame anyone else for why you can’t do it. It’s all you (and the weather conditions, but clearly we have no control over those factors). 😏
I’m itching for the opportunity for her to start training again. We’ve been in close contact with her coach and it’ll be exciting to see her path unfold. Great job @alexachann - you did it. 🎉 Time to level up again!!! 💪🏼👊🏼 You know I’m always proud of you and will forever be your biggest cheerleader. 🤩
