Our Christmas Gift!!!!

Gavin and I just love our fabulous new camera we got for christmas from our wonderful parents! We have been wanting a really nice camera to take better pictures of Boca and our future kids. Hopefully having such a great camera will motivate me to take a lot of pictures and blog more often!

Breanna's new favorite thing!

I have a new favorite thing that I wanted to share. It is called the comfort U pillow.

I just got this pillow and I love it! I have been having some lower back pain for quite a while due to work and by sleeping on my stomach. Many people including my chiropractor have told me I need to sleep on my side or back instead of my stomach because that is hard on my back. I have tried and tried, but I love sleeping on my stomach and no matter how hard I tried I would always wake up that way. Not anymore, I have had my comfort u pillow for about a week now and it has worked great. I still have some lower back pain after work sometimes, but nothing like I used to. I wake up refreshed without any aches or pains. I am glad we have a king size bed because this pillow is huge. At first Gavin was not a fan because that meant it was harder to cuddle, but now he is trying to steal it from me in the middle of the night.

Bodega Bay Video

I forgot to add a silly little video from our Bodega Bay trip. It was so beautiful and as we were biking along the water a seal came up to say hi.

Diet Coke

One of my favorite things in life is a large Diet Coke from the fountain. It has more fizz than the cans, so I have to drink it from the fountain. I know it is not good for me, but how I love it so! I have decided to say goodbye to my good friend for as long as I can, but my goal is at least one year of not drinking any soda at all. It has been 19 days. I am missing it, but I am finding a new love for water, which I know is great for me....goodbye Diet Coke, I will miss you!

Bodega Bay

Gavin works at the Lafayette Park Hotel part time, and has been working there for 10 years. A perk of the job is getting one free night a year at each hotel chain. Their are 5 hotels and one of them is in Bodega Bay. I am embarrassed to say that after 10 years, this is our first time taking advantage of the free night stay at Bodega Bay. It is my new favorite place. We drove up, explored the beautiful town, and had fun in the pool and hot tub. Then the next day we went on a wonderful bike ride! Gavin and I decided we will never let another year go by without using our free night!

Gavin being silly

Our "free" hotel...we sure love the benefits from Gavin's Job.

We had a blast on our 10 mile bike ride along the water. It was beautiful!

The view of Bodega Bay from our fabulous balcony..it was a little cold so I bought a hooded sweatshirt to remember our trip by.

Sweet notes!

Gavin is so sweet, and loves to write me little notes to let me know he cares. I love my whiteboard. I am obsessed with writing down my daily activites and to do lists. One day when I got home from work I found this cute note on my whiteboard. It was so sweet, and who knew that my daughter was so talented and could write!

Last week when I was leaving work Gavin had stuck a little love note in my car door to suprise me. I have a love note box where I keep them so one day I can show our kids what a good Daddy they have! I am so blessed to have a husband who loves me so much and isn't afraid to show it!

Maui August 2008

This is for you Alley and Rhett. This is a little tour of our room, the place was amazing. The beach was great for snorkeling and the hotel has 3 different pools to swim in! You will have such a blast, we loved our trip! Just make sure to bring sunscreen and a good book to read!
