the golden state

last weekend, steve and i went to california for a much needed visit. we hadn't been back since getting married almost a year ago.
our friends were having their big wedding celebration and thankfully, we were able to time to the trip so we could go witness the celebration. i had never been to a greek wedding before, but my was it an experience. an experience that included an open bar with ouzo, which led to the mother of the groom dancing on top of one of the tables.
we had a great time at the wedding and are so happy for our friends!
we are also mucho happy to have had a few days in california. the sunshine and warm weather was just what we needed in the midst of a cold, and what seems like an almost snowless winter :( we got to see a lot of family and friends who we haven't seen in awhile, and i was able to be reunited with my flip flops for 4 glorious days! i really miss the beach sometimes. but then again, i love the 4 seasons...you can see the dilemma.
it was a truly fabulous trip and it makes me so anxious to go back again...maybe for good?

ps. i know i am awful at including pictures with these posts. add to the list below, goal #17, to take more pictures and be a better blogger!
