Wedding

Daniel and I had a great time at our friend's wedding. It was so beautiful and a great day in Santa Monica

Christmas 2012 Sand vs. Snow

Christmas Eve we had Christmas in Santa Barbara with sand, on Christmas Day we were in Ohio with a ton of snow!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Daniel and I went back to the midwest to visit my side of the family during Christmas and New Year's. We took our Bella with us and it was her first time on a plane.  Bella is small enough that she can fit in a pet carrier and placed under the seat in front of us (where you would put your purse).  She didn't like the take off too much or the vibration on the floor from the engines but as usual she never barked or cried she just looked at us.  We took her out of her pet carrier and placed her on our lap and put a blanket on top.  Bella is a service dog so she is technically allowed out of her carrier but we don't like taking advantage.  Everyone back home loved her!  We saw my Dad, my sister Lana and my best friend Katerina and her husband Bernard and their daughter who is our beautiful niece Marlie.  We also saw almost my entire family -- my cousin Carol and her boyfriend Kerry (who has the same taste in beer as my husband!) and their children and their children's children!  Such a huge extended family!! I also got to see my good friend Drema -- who I hadn't seen in years!  It was so good to see her!!  My cousin Shannon drove from West Virginia to see us -- that was such a surprise and it was so good to see her too!  I really needed to get back home to family.  It fills your heart and I love to introduce my husband to everyone :)  I hope everyone has a great New Year with much love and happiness!!
