2010 was a great year

looking forward to what 2011 will bring!

One of my resolutions this year is to participate in Project 365. I think the concept is neat! This time next year I think it would be really fun to look back and see what I did 365 days of the year.

Other resolutions include:
- Drinking more water
- limiting my Starbucks consumption to twice a week instead of my usual 5
- wearing more items in my closet-i tend to wear the same pieces over and over because of comfort. I've got tons of clothes and I need to wear them more often
- Pay off my credit cards
-Spend more time with my family and friends

Let the countdown to 2011 begin!!

1 year anniversary

After one year of staring at this cake in our freezer it was finally time for us to dig in. We weren't sure what to expect, so we had to make sure to share with the family so we can all experience this together. It looked good... it smelt good... and after the count of three we all took a big bite. It didn't taste good! Haha! It was a little freezer burnt and dry,but the experience and tradition behind it made it fun. I'm glad we did we it. Happy 1 year!

All our bags are packed!

This past week, we finally went off on our honeymoon and boarded the Carnival Glory. We headed off on the Atlantic Ocean to the Bahamas to enjoy a 7 day cruise. It was the perfect time to leave as the weather here in Va Beach was starting to get chilly.









It was a relaxing vacation. We definitely had too much to eat. The entertainment was awesome! I became addicted to the slot machines, but came home empty handed. We learned that it is a big no-no to take pictures of the US Embassy. Walking through the straw market was an experience. We've been back on solid ground now for the past two days and we still have sea legs! We can't wait to book our next cruise!

Awesome!

The local radio station was giving away concert tickets during their morning show, so when marc and i knew the answers to today's questions,we thought we would test our luck and see if we could win. While he called... and called... and called... and called, i simply texted in my answer. less then a minute after i sent in my text, i get a call. The number didn't look familiar, but i noticed that the last 4 digits happened to be the the radio station channel we were listening to. Hmm... did we just win?!?! I gave the phone to marc to answer and sure enough we were on the phone with the DJ's of Z104.

we won 4 tickets to the American Idol Live concert!! I've never won anything before, so this was pretty cool!

looks like we're going to a concert this weekend! yay!

Camping in OBX

we decided to do a one day camping trip at the Outerbanks. we probably chose the hottest day of the summer, but we made the best of it. we spent the entire day at the beach swimming, throwing around the football, building sand mermaids, and climbing up sand dunes. and when we weren't on the beach, we were at the camp site grilling hamburgers and hot dogs. We even built a bonfire on the beach at night - we had to make s'mores! it was a fun weekend, but next time we won't plan it on such a hot day!

Better than Krispy Kreme...

...Almost! But so darn close!

They recently opened The Fractured Prune in downtown Silver Spring so Carole and Pat had to take us! And are we glad they did!

This doughnut shop is nothing like Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme. They are hand-dipped homemade donuts that have unique flavors. They are mouth watering delicious! We'll definitely go back! Yum!

"1-2-3 Strikes you're out!"

This past weekend we made our way up to DC to watch the Nationals play against the Giants. The weather was great! Our seats were awesome! And we had a great time. I got to participate in the largest stadium "wave" i've ever seen! Unfortunately, the Nationals ended up losing the game. Oh well... better luck next time.



Yum!! We had to get peanuts, hot dogs and then some!

Good old Abe...one of the mascots.

(check out the awesome seats!)
