Happy New Year!

Wow. Has it been a month and a half already?!?!

Things have been super busy here. Once we got back from the wedding, it was time to get back into the swing of things at work and at home (amazing how a wedding puts everything else - like house cleaning - on the back burner). The very next week, we had a friend over for Thanksgiving. It was nice and intimate. I made some pies and we watched 'Wedding Crashers.'

Then it was time to get ready for Christmas. I haven't even had a chance to finish my Thank You cards, so don't be upset if you didn't get a Christmas card... There were birthday & holiday parties to attend, and presents to be made (which didn't really come to fruition). Before I knew it, we were flying back down to Florida to spend a few short days with the family for Christmas and Nicks' 31st birthday.

Of course we shot some stuff - our new redneck Christmas tradition!






The day after Christmas, we went out on the boat with TJ and enjoyed some natural Florida beauty, the sun, watching skydivers jump, and plenty of Coronas.












The next day was Nick's B-day! We spent the day thrift shopping and hanging out on the beach.

Here's Nick with one of his birthday presents, a guitar pedal kit. It was almost all put together in this picture.


Nick & TJ play tennis with golf balls so hard, the balls shot through the racket! Wow. He looks serious.


While we were there, we TOTALLY forgot it was still winter up here in Maryland. It was so nice to actually relax for a change! Then we were back in the cold and Nick got sick, so our New Year's was pretty chill. We stayed in and made quesadillas. New Year's Day, we made an awesome brunch - the perfect way to start the year. Forget black-eyed peas and ham hocks. Belgian waffles with homemade strawberry compote and freshly whipped cream, washed down with mimosa is the way to go! YUM.

The weekend right after New Year's, Jordan & Damion came down from New York, so we had them over with Shaun and his girlfriend on Saturday for hot dogs, darts, air-hockey & a jam-out session which lasted well into Sunday morning.







All-in-all, married life is good. To be honest, we haven't had a chance to stop and think much about it. Things feel pretty much the same as always. For those of you waiting on wedding pictures, we're in the same boat. I haven't gotten the disk yet, but I'm sure it will be arriving soon. Once it does, you can bet there will be a LONG posting here with lots of pictures!
