Baby-moon....iversary?!

Holy cow... can you believe that Ray and I have been married for 2 years now!? It really doesn't feel like it should be that long.  This year we decided that it was time for a vacation and since I am prego we couldn't join Ray's family on their awesome 2 week Alaskan cruise in August we just decided to go somewhere close.  I originally wanted to go to Hawaii but when we priced it all out I decided I am too cheap to spend that much money on a vacation haha so we just went to San Francisco, California.
We left on our anniversary (June 12) and only stayed until Thursday.  So it was a short-ish trip but we had fun and I seriously doubt I could have gone longer.  Vacationing when you are 7 months pregnant is actually really difficult!

Anyways... we just chilled in our hotel and ate dinner the day we got there.  BUT, the next day we went to the fishermans wharf which was pretty cool.  We got to see the sea lions and then we just walked around to all the shops and stuff.  Then we went to the aquarium which to tell you the truth was pretty much the biggest waste of $30 EVER!  Then we went to Ghiridelli Square but I forgot to take any pictures... sorry!


I found me a new boyfriend... Ray should be jealous!




 The next day we drove south and went to check out some redwoods! We got to ride a train through the forest and it was pretty fun!  Then we went to the Winchester Mystery House! It is the biggest, ugliest, worst built house EVER! but it was pretty cool to see some of the things inside! too bad they don't let you take pictures inside because there were some of the BEST stained glass windows inside!








I think Ray was in heaven looking at all the guns... I thought it was quite boring but hey... what do I know!?



The next day we got to go to Alcatraz but first I made Ray take me back to the fishermans wharf to get me some pearls! haha I totally fell into that tourist trap but it was fun and I got a pretty necklace out of it! Anyways, after that we headed out to check out the Alcatraz prison.  It was fun but I don't think I would ever do it again. You have to walk around with an mp3 player thing so Ray and I didn't even get to talk the whole time we were out there.  But oh well!








After we went to Alcatraz, I made Ray take me to the beach... although I was very dissipointed.  You can tell from the picture but it was not the best time of day to go. There was too much smog/fog crap.  So needless to say we only stayed for like 15 minutes!


On our last day in San Fran, we checked out of our hotel and decided that on our way to the Okland airport we would drive over the golden gate bridge! It was awesome... ok it was just a bridge but now we can say that we have done it!

This is us driving over the bridge... check out the excitement haha jk

Anyways, we are very glad to be home. I got the worst swelling in my feet and legs after our flight.  Luckily they have gone down and are normal now but I don't think I will ever travel during pregnancy again!  Now we are just trying to fill our time until the end of August when the baby will get here (can you believe that there is only a little over 2 months left?!?!)! Ray works with his dad almost everyday and I have been trying to catch up on all our laundry and stuff... fun for me I know! But, that is what we have been up to lately!

anyways, enjoy! or not! Your choice!

I am such a slacker!!

I can't believe how long it has been since I really blogged last... oh dear... There has been a lot going on! I don't think I really want to talk about it all... we would be here all day haha! Anyway, I have been taking a picture every month of my prego belly (used to be fun... not so much anymore haha) so here was last months....

This was me at 24 weeks... sorry about all the stupid poses... I take my own pictures in my always messy bathroom.

I took these ones the other day and I was noticing that I am really looking pregnant from the front oh man... This is only 28 weeks haha... i have a while to go! 

Here is a side view of 28 weeks... I am getting so fat haha... (don't you love my fake smile... I wasnt too excited to take this picture...)

ANYWAYS, on a happier note, a couple weeks ago we Ray decided he was sick of a huge crib box just hangin out in our extra bedroom.  So here are a couple fun pictures of him assembling our awesome crib! We don't have a mattriss or any bedding for it yet so there isn't a completed picture.... hopefully that will come in the next month or so!



 Next, we went to Best Buy to buy a new camera for or upcoming vacation and ray pulls into this spot and I start freaking out at him because he is parking in a handicap spot.  Then I look at it and start laughing haha! Probably the BEST parking spot ever! (sorry about the skewed windshield wiper... I tried to take it without it but failed.)

 Since I am not going to school or working or anything I have been trying to find things to fill up my time. So I have been figuring out how to make these cute baby headbands! (These are only a select few... I have too much time on my hands so I have a ton!!) The Tan one is my favorite I think! :)

 And, one of the biggest things we have been up to this last month is that we sold our car! :( We sold cute little blackie and bought a used toyota corolla. Or cute mazdaspeed3 was costing too much money so we down graded! It was a HUGE hassle and we had to deal wit a TON of stupid pushy salesmen but in the end it is worth it! We can now buy regular gas instead of the premium stuff! yay!
This is my sad face.  I am still kinda sad when I see mazda3 hatchbacks but I really dont ever drive anywhere so a cheaper car was the way to go!

 Goodbye blackie... you served us well! We will miss you!


Anywho... That is really all that has been going on... OH besides that it is now officially summer time! Ray got done with his school year on June 5th and we partied... ok we just went to a movie but that is as crazy as we get around here... haha but other than that we have just been hangin out! We are excited to go on our vacation this next week! We were originally going to try to go to Hawaii but I had an anxiety attack when I saw how much it really would have costed us.  I am a cheapo so we decided to just go to San Francisco, California instead! We will leave this sunday (June 12... Yay happy 2nd anniversary to us!!!!!!!!!!!) and we will have some good times before the rest of the crazy summer chatches up with us! This will be our happy 2nd anniversary/Babymoon vacation! :)

That is all I really have for now. I will post pictures from our vacation next weekend sometime maybe! 
so... Enjoy.. or not! It's your choice!
