Cheated

Tonight I had my first craving. I don't even like ice cream... I never have. I have a FrOzEn YoGuRt store.... why would I want IcE CrEaM??? It is now 12:30 a.m.... two hours ago I was asleep on the love sac waiting for Craig to get home. Now I'm sitting on the couch- eating Ice Cream- and watching The Office. I feel like I've just cheated on myself.

My Babers(Britta) is 27 on the 27th!!!

This is the love of my life and the day I met her I knew she was the one(this is Craig by the way, figuring out how to blog or somethin).

This was only weeks after we met when she went on a singles cruise without me. She had it planned with one of her best friends Marcie(Marcella). I wasn't happy about it but that was just the start of give and take. That's ok I guess, she did leave me a puzzle to do! If I would have known she was going to look like this I wouldn't have let her go(maybe),owe owe!!!

Isn't she just freakin Gorgeous, Beautiful, and just plain perfect I guess.

To the love of my life
I am so greatful you're my wife
I'm so glad you're with me
and not some other weenee

I love everyday we spend together
Even when you're feeling under the weather
Every second is a moment of glee
But I sure do hate when you work late at Spoon Me

The rest of our lives will be always be a blessing
But being single I will not be missing
I love you forever and for always
Together we will spend the rest of our days

Happy Birthday Baby!!!

Yesterday was so crazy I didn't get a chance to do a post for Craig's Birthday! He turned 27 years young- and spent his day in the most unselfish way possible. I am so lucky to have him! I woke up at 7 a.m. so I could run and get him his favorite breakfast burrito (Albertos of course)- after that moment- the day was sadly about me. Craig drove me 3.5 hours up to Mt. Pleasant for a funeral that he didn't want me to miss. After the funeral we got back in the car- and drove another 3.5 hours back home. We BARELY made it back in time to have dinner with our families at Samuri 21. While our cook was hilarious- he kept telling ME Happy Birthday! He wouldn't stop teasing me and making fun of me! (Sorry to steal your thunder baby- it just happened....) Then we went over and had cake at his parent's house. By 9:30 we were both so exhausted we had to go home and go to bed. What a birthday for my baby! Thank you for being amazing babe- I'll make it up to you I promise! I love you and Happy Birthday!

{The one that made it happen....after a long cab ride with an open window!}

Ok so just one last thing to blog about.... MEXICO!!! We were lucky enought to go to Manzanillo Mexico with Craig's entire family. Every year for Nanny Patty's (Craig's Grandma) Birthday she takes the whole family on a big trip. This year it was Manzanillo. It was sooooo nice to get away from the store- and the cold weather- and get some nice relaxing sun! We stayed at an awesome resort. We swam- ate- snorkled- ate- fished- ate- slept- ate- and of course- ate. The beach was fun for the kids and Craig of course. For me- not so much. I wasn't a fan of the big waves and the CRABS that kept biting our toes! Not to mention the millions of schools of tiny fish that were a constant stream agains our legs. (I just knew there was a huge fish munching on the little ones). It was a great week with family and just what we needed!

{Christmas Day}

Christmas Day was great. Craig and I woke up so early so we could have our Christmas done and be to my parent's house to watch the kids see what Santa had brought them. Craig was so worried because he is "so not creative" but he did amazing! I loved EVERYTHING he got me and he was so cute about it. I even had a stocking FULL of stuff. I was so proud of him! He put all my gifts to shame! After we opened gifts we rushed to my parents to watch the kids. While were were eating Christmas breakfast- we got the long awaited phone call from Tyson! We all got to talk to him. He's doing amazing. Doesn't miss home at all- and can't believe he only has 1.5 years left. He says it's not enough time. He sounded as happy as ever.

What else could we ask for???

{Christmas Eve}

I am so behind on posts I don't even know where to begin! Craig and I are doing awesome. We had a great Christmas/Holiday with a lot of action. With both of our families being here- we got to enjoy them all. Riley and Mykelle came down with their beautiful girls to spend Christmas with us. We were able to have our big Christmas Eve dinner with our anual P.J. party and treasure hunt. It was Craig's first "Christmas with the Facers"- and I have to admit it's a little overwhelming! Every year my mom makes an insane dinner (this year is was prime rib and KING crab legs... with a bunch of goodies of course). Although midway through our meal we had an episode which made us all lose our appetites (Adelaide our 7 week old neice... stopped breathing! It only lasted about 25-30 seconds... but long enough for us to all panic- call 911- and of course me to basically pass out. She finally caught her breath and it turned out ok... just one of the scariest experiences ever!!!!). After dinner we do the P.J. thing and the kids go on a treasure hunt and find all sorts of fun stuff. It was a great night!

California

Since Craig and I hadn't been to Laguna since we got engaged... we decided we were due for another trip! We got Craig's entire family to come down with us. We decided to do a couple days at Disneyland and of course a day of shopping (which was very unsuccessful). But it was so fun for me to be back in California- I don't realize how much I miss it until I'm there! It was so great to be at Disneyland with family- and especially kids! They were a lot of fun. We had a blast.





Of course we had to make a quick run down to the beach one night after Disneyland. This is Craig digging out some huge shells for our Nephew Ryan. Craig had his first experience with a sea anemone. He was seriously scared to death but I finally convinced him he HAD to touch one. I don't think he'll ever do it again..... it was so funny!!!!

This is the beautiful beach a couple blocks from our house. We caught an amazing sunset while we were there. It was perfect!
