No more christmas desserts!

So this weekend was filled with lots and lots of christmas parties! Friday night started with Zach and I meeting my parents and our family friend Matt (who was visiting us for the weekend) at C Level in Harbor island for a few cocktails. From there we went to my work Christmas party. It was a great night... of course there was drama. When isnt' there drama when you work with 12 other ladies? Ha. But regardless a great night.

Saturday Zach took Matt surfing for his second time ever while i helped my mom set up for her christmas party. We first went to Zach's work Christmas party at 5:30 and then were back to my house by 8 for my mom's christmas party! It was a fun night.

But here's the problem.... Great parties = Great desserts. I have eaten so many brownies, cookies, cakes, gummy bears, M&M's, etc.etc. etc. I think i'm going to have to go to the gym for like a hundred hours just to work off one cookie! Not to mention the adult beverages.

Basically, this was a great weekend but horrible for any sort of diet... I keep telling myself i'll start tomorrow.

We'll see how that goes.

Turkey Day!

So we just celebrated our first Thanksgiving together. It was really nice. We actually went camping at the beach at San Elijo. The weather couldn't have been more perfect... the first 3 days lol. We were sleeping in a tent that was clearly made for the summer so we were freezing at night but during the day it was just perfect. Zach brought his new smoker up and he smoked his first turkey! It came out sooo good. He was really proud of himself. I was proud of him too and relieved cause I was hungry and ready for some turkey!

My parents had a campspot too so my mom made all the side dishes. We had my brother and his brother come up for dinner. It was really nice. We've decided that we want to make that a tradition of ours. I love it that now that we're married we can make a bunch of new traditions since its like we're starting new. So this is our first tradtion. I'm sure we'll have plenty more. ha.

Here are some pictures of the day!

About Us

So I thought it would be fun to have a blog about our first year together! We've been married for 14 going on 15 weeks... wow its going fast. We've been living with my parents until we buy our first house. We put an offer on a townhome 4 months ago and FINALLY we are in escrow. Looks like escrow will close Dec. 14th... some christmas present don't you think?

Zach is a firefighter... and a really hot one. :) I've just graduated from college with my BS in Kinesiology. I'm in the middle of applying to Physical Therapy school. Hopefully I get in. It'd be nice to start making some money. I'm sure everyone can understand that.

Anyways, i'll keep this short cause i'm really tired but I wanted to get this started. But welcome to the world of the Loftis' :) Hope you enjoy.
