Ryan and Carlee's Wedding

We started our 1-year anniversary trip in San Diego for Ryan and Carlee's wedding. It was an awesome wedding; so much fun to see them and to hang out in the great city of San Diego. The wedding was at Bali Hai and was absolutely beautiful. It was right on the water with a great view of the city of San Diego.

They did wedding cupcakes that were delicious. I had 2.

Instead of riding out in a car, Ryan and Carlee rode out in a tandem bicycle:

For the rest of the day, we hung out with Josh, Kristen, and Kevin in downtown San Diego. Then on Sunday we went to Coronado Island and lounged around in the sun. Overall it was a great weekend and we are looking forward to making it back to San Diego again some time.

SF with the Salazars

We're back from all of our trips, so we are going to start posting pictures from the last month. It has been such a great time to see both of our families and be back in the Midwest a couple of times.

The weekend before we left for our 1-year anniversary trip, our friends the Salazars visited town. I (Adam) lived with Josh my Sophomore year of college and he was in California to see our other college roommate, Ryan, get married. They had decided to make a week-long road trip out of it, so they came to visit us and we showed them around the Bay Area. Here are some pictures of our trip to San Francisco:

It's vacation time! See ya at the beach!

Poor Peach

Peach got fixed on Friday. I felt bad for her but at the same time in no way did I want to contribute to the cat population. Adam took her in early Friday morning (I had to work) and then we picked her up later that night. I didn't know what she would be like when we brought her home but I wasn't really expecting her to be in a cone! When we first saw her it was so hard not to laugh. I think the person at the vet thought we were being rude but it was pretty funny to see her like that! Once we got her home it was quite the show to watch her continually back-up to try and get away from the cone. We were supposed to keep her confined so we constructed a makeshift cage out of boxes but she always managed to escape.

Peach enjoyed watching Planet Earth last night.

Today she is doing really well. I took her cone off for a bit and kept my eye on her. She was pretty dirty and needed to clean herself but I had to make sure she never went after her tummy.

She is also a big fan of these chairs I picked up at Goodwill on Thursday!

Next thing I need: a new lamp! The leaning Ikea one that we got for free isn't cutting it any more!

New Suits

Now that I have reached my mid-twenties, it was time for me to get my first suit. On Friday, Court and I headed out to the mall in search of a new suit and ended up with two! We just couldn't decide between two suits at Express for Men and ended up going home with both. One is great for a more casual summer wedding and the other is a little more formal.

Now I just need to find a good tailor in the area to finish them off. I can't wait to get a chance to wear them!

Calling all fashion critics!

I bought a dress at TJ Maxx and like it, I think... I need some help. I don't know who all reads this but comment away! And I am no model so the pitcures are .. ya know... not the best. I was thinking about wearing it to a wedding this summer.

Thanks!

PS. Yes, that is a cat door taped open. Peach won't go through unless it is open...

Yum!

We've been grilling! Adam and I have been using our craigslist find a bunch lately. This week we made pizza and corn on the grill. Yum! And it was all pretty easy.

I also made a strawberry pie this week and took it to Bible study. It was a big hit. Thanks for the recipe mom!
