New House!

No, not me, sillies! :) Kate, we need your new address! Thanks so much! :)

good times

Lauren, of course we had a good time at your wedding. Just in case you need some proof, I'm here to remind you- PS if you haven't checked out all of the photo booth pictures from the website, you should- totally worth it! That what I did during my "me" coffee time this morning.

At the time, we thought we were having fun and being creative. Clearly, we were nothing compared to the Freelands and their friends. Are we losing our touch or were we never that cool???

                            

...and of course I saved the best for last...

For some reason I can't get the pictures to enlarge unless I have them on two separate lines, except for the first two.  Michelle, I know you will especially be annoyed by this- feel free to play with it if it gets too under your skin! 

Honeymoon!

Hey ladies! Pat and I are back from our honeymoon and it was great! We had so much fun just laying by the pool, eating and drinking way too much and not having to worry about planning a wedding anymore. Our resort did a great job of catering to all the honeymooners, so everyone there was extremely nice and always willing to take a picture of us.

Our daily routine consisted of eating, laying by the pool, first round of drinks, more pool, lunch, pool, drinks, mid-day lunch, pool, steam room, nap, shower, dinner, drinks. We both gained a considerable amount of weight... I know, shocking... we were surprised, too. So, we're adjusting to our pre-wedding diets again to get back in shape, which isn't too hard when you stop eating/drinking every 2 hours. :) On two of the days got a couples massage and went ziplining, which was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Pat also surprised me with a dinner on the beach one night, which was my favorite meal of the week, too. So, it was a great surprise.

Although we were sad to leave our vacation, it's been so much fun to come home and meet up with friends to hear about what all happened at the wedding. We had such a good time and have loved hearing about everyone's night, too. So, I hope you guys had as good a time as I had with you all. It was so much fun having all of you in MInneapolis and I'd love to do it again, soon...

So, that's my trip in a nutshell... we hope to take a trip once a year just to get away and relax since we had such a good time in St. Lucia. So, hopefully this isn't my last post on our vacations. Miss you already!

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Grant!

This is a late post, but congratulations to Lauren and Pat!  It was such a fun weekend and a BEAUTIFUL wedding.  Ali...you and I have a lot to live up to, we'll have to do something completely random for our weddings because there is no way we can compete with the other three : )  I've uploaded my pictures onto Picassa ... I didn't get too many but there are a few cute ones of the five of us!

Here are some quick updates in my life:  I have been either out of town or working since I've been back from Ireland so I am loving my few days off with nothing to do (but blog and upload pictures)!  Yesterday was my mom's big 60th birthday party, about 70 people were at the house and it went great.  My mom is handling the big 6-0 very gracefully, but I think we all knew she would.  Her new attitude is to be thankful for all of her birthdays, no matter how big they are : )  I opened a new savings account today and made a rough draft plan to save for a house.  It looks like I might be able to afford a nice home in San Diego if I live with my parents for about 10 years.  I'm sort-of kidding.  But saving is the first step and I'm proud that I've started that!  I love and miss you all!

Cheers to Lauren and Pat : )
