san diego getaway

Jessica — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:42:41 +0000

once again the bfg and i traveled south west to escape the bitter winter cold and enjoy some warm sunshine; a week in sunny San Diego, California. while there i let my hair get tangled in the salty sea breeze, walked barefoot in sand warmed by the sun, and dressed in carefree loose fitting clothes.

architecture - we stayed in ocean beach, a little neighborhood set on the pacific filled with quaint bungalows in fun colors with unique yards.

landscape - from beaches with tall palm trees to cliffs overlooking lovely sunsets to arid canyons full of cacti.

wildlife - gray whales heading south, hummingbirds, seabirds, and sea lions. oh and don't forget the random neighborhood cats found in unusual places.

january moments

so far 2012 has not disappointed me although i still will say i am not a fan because it ends with an even number. the year of 2011 was spectacular, full of excitement, strength, independence, and most importantly understanding true love. it will always remain in the top 5 best years of my life.

this is january, 2012.

i know, i know, another wedding post but i promise this to be the last. i just want to say thank you to everyone who helped make my dream day come true. thank you for spending your friday before the big day sweating away in the pavilion, gluing moss onto wood slabs, hanging lights, ironing burlap, filling bottles with water, and decorating. also special thanks to those who baked the delicious treats for the sweet table! love you all.
