Christmas Time?

It definitely doesn't feel like Christmas time. I have been working 13 days straight at this point. Chris and I decided that we wouldn't put up a tree this year because we are leaving next Friday for Indiana, and then we head to Maui for our honeymoon!!! We can't wait!
Shopping for Christmas = internet, at least I don't have to stand in line. We are keeping it very low key this year.. no gift exchanging between us.


It has been a disappointing week with the wedding pictures... our photographer, gotta love him, but he is just soo busy with everything going on that we still do not have our pictures... very frustrating when you have so many people asking to see them. Regardless, we WILL get them, and I just need to be more patient...but, then again they are OUR wedding pictures.

I probably won't blog again until after the holidays, so
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

More exciting news. George Mason has asked me to teach a class in the spring. A three credit 100 level Personal Health class for the Health, Recreation and Tourism department. Extra cash, and a great place for me to get my foot in the door to start teaching each semester!

I am going to be an AUNT

It is official and I can tell people.. Jessica, my little sister, is pregnant!!!
Chris and I get married and we get to be an Aunt and an Uncle.. wow!!
Here is her blog page
www.baby-meyer.blogspot.com

The baby is due right around Chris' birthday.

Chris and I went to Indiana this past weekend for the Indiana Reception. We had an amazing turnout of people. It was SOOO good to see all my friends and family again. The best thing was that Chris had met everyone except three people before, so he felt right at home. It was good seeing my sisters and parents again... and mom dressed up Lily and Falkor in bride and groom pictures, coming soon of course!!!

Wedding

From B to A

Well we are married!
We had an amazing, wonderful, fun filled day on Saturday. The rain held out just long enough for us to walk down the aisle as a married couple. It was my dream come true.
I have about 600 non professional pictures ... thought I would share a few... I will let you know when the real ones are done!
See some of you soon!

Indiana/ Virginia Bridal Shower


Bridal Showers!!!

My sisters and mom threw me an awesome Indiana shower in June. It was Hawaiian themed and everyone dressed in their brightest outfits and all wore a lei. We dined on homemade cheesecakes, lots of food, and played some great shower games. It was SOOO good to see my Indiana family and friends. I miss them so much. Amanda, Jessica, and mom put so much effort in to this wonderful day. Thank you!!

Alli Andresen threw me an amazing Bridal Shower yesterday here in Virginia. It was so well organized (right up my alley) and so well thought through. Lynn and Alli made the day sooo special with amazing food, drinks, decorations, goodie bags, games... it was just an amazing day spent with friends to celebrate Chris and I. Thank you Alli and Lynn!

May and June

What have we been up to?
Below are some pictures from the National Arboretum. I ended up cutting the trip short to the arboretum by completely biting it. I had to go to the Visitors Center to get a band aid and wipes... pretty funny. There are a few pictures of flowers, trees, and of the beautiful columns. We also stopped by the National Harbor and I took the picture of the horses for you Anita, and the eagle for you Dad!

Chris purchased me some beautiful flowers for my big 30th bday. They are the exact color of roses I am carrying down the aisle. He surprised me on Sunday with dinner at the Chart House, with friends Jim, Brittanie and Nate, and a cake from Cold Stone (my favorite red velvet cake with cake batter ice cream). It was a wonderful birthday weekend... I just had to work way to much.

Brittanie and Jim had to take a minute to challenge each other on Wii Mario Cart!!

What happened?

So we took Chase to the groomer and this is what happened.... I have no idea why they did this, because the same girl that has done it twice before has done it perfectly. The poor dog. Chris and I ended up shaving the rest of her tail down, so she now looks like a hairless cat.

On a happier note, Chris and I went to Foxfields (in Charlottesville). Think big tailgate with horses racing...ok, just think tailgate. It was great to see a lot of friends and dine in our town. We miss it WAY to much!

Be sure to check out the wedding website
www.chris-erica.com... LEAVE us a note on the site!!!

Busy Busy Busy

Mom and Dad came to visit for nine days... you all know what that equals right?
Many home improvements!
Grandma and Anita also came for four short days!
We had fun going to DC and walking around, but were extremely tired by the time we got home.
We were still able to lay a perfect tile floor, add a new patio, put up a new wall in the basement, and plant flowers.
I have attached pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Everything with the wedding is going well... make sure you check out www.chris-erica.com for all that info.
Save the date magnets are being ordered this week!!

Not sure what to call this

Chris and I picked out some tile today for the kitchen. We are going to go back to Lowe's and pick out a few more pieces before making a final decision. There is something about Lowe's lighting that makes it look completely different once you get it home.

Chris also found a trail behind our house and we took Chase out for a hike. She was excited to go down and see the water until she got all the way down there and didn't know how to get back up! OOPS! If Video isn't there.. I am trying

I also added my Valentine Day Flowers!!
