Back To The Grind

A lot has happened since I last posted - mainly traveling and vacation time, but a few other things here and there as well....  For example, the day we left for Sedona, my brother and his wife announced that they are expecting their second child!  That was one way to jump start the trip, to say the least.  Another was the trouble starting the motor on the plane - this minor setback led to multiple Bloody Marys in flight.  Oops!

No signs of baby #1 for my best friend either, so we are still playing the waiting game there.  She is very eager for him to make his debut though, that I know!  She kept us updated while we were gone and it looks like he will probably arrive closer to the end of June, as initially thought, after all.

The trip was amazing, per usual - Sedona never seems to disappoint.  A lot of hiking and spending time outdoors in the red rocks and down by Oak Creek.  Sedona is such a beautiful and special place, truly.  We are so very lucky to have had the opportunity to share our big day with our closest of friends and family in such an unforgettable location.  We could not have asked for more!

I was in a bit of a panic heading out to Sedona on Friday, however, as I discovered the memory card to my camera was in the possession of one my friends.  She borrowed the memory card and failed to return it upon completion of her use.  By the time I realized it was missing, it was too late.  Luckily, we have a Flip and a Sony Bloggie, both of which have limited photo capabilities. 

In using the Bloggie, we came across a number of videos that our dear friend, Jinna, was nice enough to capture on our big day.  We had such a good time watching the footage on our anniversary as we were able to relive the events from the day.  Truth be told, we did not arm Jinna with the proper equipment necessary for securing the highest quality of footage, but she is a producer, and extremely talented, so she made it work.  In watching the clips, it reminded me of the amazing video she so thoughtfully put together for us following our wedding, check it out:

 

The past year sure has flown by and I could not believe we were already celebrating our first anniversary.  We had a great time and plan to have many more trips to Sedona in the years to come.  Check out the For Fun section of the blog for pics from our trip!
