Hello Blog!

It's been sooo long since I posted but I guess that's typical around the holidays. We've been traveling like crazy and it's so nice to finally be settled in back at home. On Christmas day we flew out to San Diego, California with Eric's family. We were there for a full week and had a great time! There was so much to see and do. Plus it was nice to meet all of Eric's extended family and spend time with them as well. Here are some pics:

The first day we went to the San Diego Zoo:

This is the scene from the zoo that made me laugh so hard I wet my pants. Literally. Yes, that's my husband walking with the pony from the petting zoo!

Eric's grandmother ("G-ma"!) is one tough lady!

The seals at the beach in La Jolla:

In La Jolla (it was really windy that day!):

The cemetery where Eric's grandfather is buried... on a cliff overlooking the ocean. It's so beautiful up there!

On a brunch cruise in the San Diego harbor:

Just 4 days after we got back from California, we flew down to Charleston, SC for my sister's wedding! Several miracles occurred over the course of the weekend: the weather was absolutely perfect on her wedding day despite a huge storm the night before and rain the next day, we managed to get all of the last minute stuff done, and my bridesmaid's dress actually zipped up over my belly! Can't say that it looked pretty but I was just so glad that I could actually wear it!!! I don't have many pictures from the wedding since I was busy most of the time and didn't have my camera with me, but here are a few:
