I know I know... it's about time...

So we've been busy I suppose! Josh's brother, Lance married the love of his life, Liz and we were lucky enough to be there! Josh left a week before me to do some training exercising in San Antonio (and therefore use Uncle Sam for his flight home and back! Thanks Uncle Sam) and then hopped on over to Houston for the weekend of events! Before THE events took place, we had a little girl time. My mother-in-law, sister-in-law Kristy, soon to be sister-in-law Liz and I were treated to massages and pedicures on Thursday followed by a very unexpected little baby shower for Lily! How fun is that?
Of course the wedding WAS the event of the weekend and it was juuuuust beautiful. Josh and I most definitely enjoyed a much needed and long overdue trip home to be with his family... especially getting to spend such great time celebrating with Lance! Here are a few wedding shots!!
The boys...

Part of the Elston family...

The blushing bride and groom!

And of course, the famous WHOOPING Aggies... (yes, it was another whooping wedding)


And to top the week off was our niece, Analiese Bellows, enjoying her 1st birthday!!! Yuuuummmm.... cake is good :o)



And now, Josh and I are back at home enjoying the very festive Alaskan weather! We arrived home at 1am to a car that was covered in at least 6 inches of snow! Scrapping that off and warming up the car in order to get home was eventful... but we made it! We've already got our outdoor Christmas lights up and we're hunkered down for Thanksgiving. I'll be working, but we still plan to enjoy the holiday! Our plans are to get the Christmas tree up and the insides decorated ASAP!! Graci seems to be handling the snow quite well. We'll try and get some pictures of her up soon! She occasionally gets playful and just runs and jumps right in. The snow sticks to her and she came out looking like Santa with a big ole beard the other day!! We missed the photo opportunity though... When she's not feeling so playful, she stops at the garage door and does her duty (and doodie) as close to the indoors as she can! What a dog.
We're coming up on 35 weeks tomorrow and definitely just ready for this little girl to COME OUT! Stay tuned...
