2009 Christmas Letter - Part Deux

Welcome back! What a whirlwind 2009 started off as. It was just the beginning of what we've dubbed "The Best Year. Ever."

So that brings us to....

May - We travelled to Philly once again, this time for the main event. Laura was getting Married!!!! This was actually the first friend wedding I had ever been in. After being the bride in March, it was easy to make sure Laura had everything she needed. The wedding was a blast. We had so much fun and got to see a ton of people I had known at Penn State. It was a class act. We also rang in husband's 31st birthday...man, he's getting old.

June - Boy was this a busy month. I had my other bestie to get married off. We had her bridal shower and bachelorette party all in one day. We watched the Penguins sail through the playoffs and win the Stanley Cup (a Super Bowl and Stanley Cup in the same year? And all this time I thought I was the reason for Hubs' "Best Year Ever"). We decided to repaint the bedroom, this made such a huge difference that I decided we would have to repaint the entire house to match the new standard we had set. At the end of the month we attended the 3rd wedding for the year, but just as guests, so we got to sit back and enjoy the festivities.

July - Hubs made his first trek to Barbados. My mom bought a timeshare at the resort where my sister got married about 5 years ago. When we got engaged she realized that the week we went every year would never work for Husband as the week before the 4th of July is the busiest in the Beer business. She purchased a second week to ensure our presence there each year. We joined my mom, sister, and nephew on the island for their second week of vacation. We enjoyed a romantic night out at one of the premier restaraunts on the island, The Cliff. It was AMAZING. We did the Chef's tasting menu and loved every single bite they put in front of us. I look forward to going for almost two full weeks this coming summer!

August - 2nd Bestie wedding of the year. This was also an absolute blast. Almost all of our favorites have joined us as Old Married Couples now!!! This was another classy affair starting at the couples' Alma Mater, Georgetown. The scenery was gorgeous and made for some amazing photo opportunities!

Tune in next time to see how we finish out the year!!!!!
