San Diego 2012

Woot!

We're back from a great little vacay to San Diego. Jeremiah's little sis got married to a great guy and we headed out there to share in the celebration!

Becca and Ryan were (are) a beautiful couple and I'm so grateful to have been able to share in the beautiful day! I was blessed to be able to take much of the wedding photos and here's a sneak peek.

We started the day off with a brunch at 10:00 a.m. with immediate family and several close friends. We were able to share, toast or roast the happy couple. Most people shared a word or two... or lots more! It was really fun, funny, touching, emotional to listen to waht the people who mean the most to Becca and Ryan had to say.

Here are Becca and Ryan when they first saw each other at the pre-wedding brunch.

Listening to some warm words from a loved one to the almost-newlyweds.

Like I said, the wedding was gorgeous! What a delightful, joyful, cheerful day full of happiness. It was a day that I believe was truly smiled upon by God!

The next two days we got to relax and enjoy some sunny weather- aaaahhhhh....

We layed by the pool, read, napped, sat in the hot tub, ate leftovers from the pre-wedding brunch (my favorite leftovers in the world... crab legs, jumbo shrimp, smoked salmon... mmmm....), went down to Mission Beach and walked along the surf and out onto the pier, went up to La Jolla for dinner and a movie. Our time together was SO nice. But it was really nice to get back home to the kiddos. 5 days away from them is really my limit. What a blessing the entire 5 days was though. Every so often, I would look around and just revel in my thankful and gratefulness to the Lord. I cannot be thankful enough for times like this, with amazing family, beautiful accomodations, blissful weather, and time alone with my man!

Like I said to them tonight, Thanks to Becca and Ryan for getting married so we could go to San Diego for a wedding and a vacation! :)
