One year ago today...

...we had a priest that hit on my wife, and the worst DJ in the history of wedding receptions, but I still married the light of my life.  Happy Anniversary babe.

I know one day I'll look back...

...at these pics and wonder when this room ever looked this organized.  Everyone who has had a newborn knows there's just going to be things everywhere once the kid is here.  Still it was fun decorating the room for our first born (he's due in 4 weeks!).  You might remember a few posts back (here) where I was debating how to decorate the room.  Well, after a few weeks of searching and debating with wa this is the end result.

Whats a babymoon?

I swear I'm learning all these new terms I've never heard of before.  Apparently a babymoon is a final trip a couple goes on together before the arrival of a newborn, and many sleepless nights.  wa and I tried to book a short cruise but found out after we booked that they do not allow pregnant women over 25 weeks on board.  darn.  oh well we settled for a quick trip to San Diego, more specifically the SD Zoo.  Since we didnt get to go on the cruise we splurged a little and did the backstage pass tour which was great since we got up real close to some animals.  Here are a few quick pics.
