Our first 3 months of married life have been fun and full of love. Ryan and I have truly enjoyed each other, the holidays, our family and friends, our life, and just being married. Even though we dated over 8 years before tying the knot, being husband and wife feels totally different in a good way. I think all of our family and friends know by now...but Ryan and I have made the big decision to MOVE! We leave for Carlsbad this Thursday! It is finally starting to set in; only because Ryan and I are living out of boxes, on a few different outfits, and hardly any food. To be completely honest, the clothes/box thing does not bother me much. Having a very small amount of food in our pantry and a limited amount of "back-up" supplies (like, toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, etc) is driving me NUTS. This is the first time in my life that I do not have a back-up supply of all necessities stored away in the closet. FOUR more days, and I can stop thinking about these silly things!
I hate to admit this, but I did not take many pictures again this month! I have to get better at it...it is a New Year's Resolution.
Justin's 10th birthday party was Boston Red Sox theme! His friends wore their favorite team's jersey or shirt. We all had a blast at Sky Walk!
Brothers <3
Even Kinsley got to bounce-bounce! She LOVED it, almost as much as her daddy and uncle!
My husband enjoying the germ-filled foam pit! LOL. He was sore the next day, wonder why!
We saved Justin's gift for his actual birthday!
Christmas #1 of 10. Just kidding...kind of! Good thing I got pictures at our first Christmas celebration. Went down hill from there...did not get many after.
One of Ryan's favorite Christmas presents. A REAL Fresno State football helmet.
YAY! Another Christmas pic! Omi LOVED her blanket. She was smiling from ear to ear.
This picture was taken at my aunt's house...just before we sat down for an amazing Christmas dinner. We are so blessed.
Michelle, Dustin, and Kinsley drove down to Carlsbad after Christmas, and the five of us went to Sea World. One of our first stops was lunch with Shamu...probably should have been our last stop. Both Kinsley and I were scared of Shamu [caught off guard] and did not want to see him the rest of the trip. LOL.
PRE-LUNCH :0)
Pre-lunch still...Kinsley was not happy that we were leaving the big window to go eat lunch! Poor baby girl!
Michelle and Kinz! They are adorable.
* We did buy a group picture of the five of us at Sea World, but I left it in Carlsbad! I will post it on my blog as soon as we move.
We went to our friend's brewery twice while we visited Carlsbad! Dan, my aunt's neighbor, started making beer at home, and has successfully outgrown his garage. He now has a large tasting room in downtown Vista. We had a lot of fun both times we visited! Definitely will not be our last time. These pictures are from New Year's Eve.
Love all of these people! SO much to look forward to.
After we came home from Carlsbad, Ryan and I went to lunch with Omi. This was our last time together before the big move. I am going to miss her so much, can't even talk about it.
In between all of the packing, Ryan and I bought a new car together! It is a 2012 Kia Optima (with leather and wood grain accents as Ryan would say). We did it all by ourselves...kind of. We bugged our parents for days and received a TON of great advice. Ryan had a job interview over Christmas break, and ended up getting the job!!!!!!! He will start his new job in La Jolla, on January 20th; just four days after our big move! He has informed me a number of times that his new job is located on the same exit as Torrey Pines. I am SO proud of my husband, and even more thankful for him. Knowing he is VERY excited about his new job and our future together is very comforting.
Yes, he is a little proud of our first big purchase together! I will get some more pictures of the new car in daylight for my next post.
Last, but not least...our family got some more BIG, amazing, and exciting news! Lacey, Justin, and Brody are adding to their family of three. Ryan and I will be "auntie & uncle" to TWO new babies this summer. SO EXCITED.
Mr. Brody Wolf is going to be the best big brother! We are all looking forward to meeting Baby Wolf #2!
