Hello all!
A month ago, Brian & I went on a belated anniversary trip to the Dominican Republic. Here are some pictures from our trip.
It had been about a year since we'd flown, so we were a little surprised by how the airlines have changed.
The view from our balcony...
Brian using binoculars he borrowed from my dad to check out the scenery.
Brian very kindly offered to drink twice as much since I couldn't drink. What a guy!
Did I mention there was topless subathing on this beach?
My last days in a bikini...
A view down the beach. This is where we came everyday!
We had a great time!
That's how long it took my mom to make this blanket for me! I can't remember exactly when she started it, but it's been at LEAST 10 years! She finally gave it to me a couple of weeks ago!
She's going to get started on a baby blanket as soon as we know the sex, so we should hopefully have that before the child graduates high school! Ha!
We just returned from a vacation to the Dominican Republic, so I'll have pictures from that soon!
Brian & I celebrated our 5 year anniversary this weekend. We kept it very low key with dinner downtown at Hyman's Seafood. It's a great seafood place that Laurie & Scott introduced us to when we first moved here. They have plates hanging all over the restaurant that have been decorated by various customers over the years. I made one in honor of our anniversary. I forgot to take a picture of it though. Oh well! I'll have to wander all over the restaurant the next time I'm in there so I can find it & snap a pic. After dinner, we took a carriage ride through downtown. It was nice. I tried to take some pictures, but it was a little bumpy & they didn't come out very well. I did get the guy in front of us to take our picture though.
On Sunday, Brian & I wandered around a bit & did some shopping. He found a hat that he particularly liked. I thought it was hilarous.
What do you think? Leave me a comment with your thoughts on this hat. He really wants one & has been threatening to get one in black, if he can find one. Yikes!
After much struggling, I was finally able to get the videos of Baby Lewis uploaded. I had to do it on another website, so click the link below to check it out.
Hi all! Some friends took us fishing this past weekend. Here are a few photos of our adventures. The water was a little rough, so we didn't get to go out as far as we wanted. We went out to the jetties where I caught this baby shark!
We threw him back, of course! But the struggle to catch him was fun! Brian wasn't as lucky in his fishing. He caught this shell, but didn't want to pose with it. He also caught a blue crab later, but it got away before I could snap a picture.
The wind beagan to pick up, so we came back & cruised the intercoastal waterway for a bit. Brian was drained from all the fun!!
I tried to take a few pictures of the scenery, but didn't get very many as the water was rough & I was trying to keep myself & the camera dry!
The Ravenel Bridge from afar...
The swing bridge connecting Mount Pleasant to Sullivan's Island-opening for a large sailboat to pass.
More info on Baby Lewis to come! Stay tuned!
We had our first ultrasound yesterday. Only one baby in there (much to the dismay of many, but we are perfectly happy with one)! Here's Baby's First Picture!
We'll get to have another ultrasound next week, so more pictures to come!!
At long last, we're pregnant!
First ultrasound is next week to find out "how many babies are in there".
I'll keep you informed!

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. I had a friend in town & the weather was beautiful, so we hit the beach!
While we were there, we met a girl with THE BIGGEST dog I've ever seen! His name is Oliver & he's awesome!
This picture doesn't really do him justice! He's 240 lbs & only 2 years old! That's his human standing next to him. Isn't he great?
With it being a holiday weekend, the beach was quite crowded. We rode around for a long time before we found a place to park. After we staked out our place on the sand, we were quickly surrounded by other sunbathers.
I was enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean, when this guy plopped down and obstructed my view!
And to make matters worse, he was sitting spread eagle right in front of children building a sand castle!
It was quite scary, but very hilarious! Too bad I didn't have this pic in time for Katey's 200th post contest! I would have won hands down! Hope everybody has a great weekend!
I'll post again soon!

Last week was my birthday & I got lots of goodies, along with visits from friends & family.
The week before my birthday was spring break for some schools. My friend, Cherie (who I taught with in Columbia), came to town & we got together for drinks at Red's. Red's is a popular place on Shem Creek. It's really beautiful there. The night we went there were dolphins & pelicans swimming around in the harbor. The dolphins wouldn't pose for a pic & the pelicans weren't very photogenic, but I got this great shot of the harbor as the sun was setting.
Laurie was in town on my actual birthday & we went to a Japanese place for lunch. Mmmmmm, white sauce!
White sauce is the most delicious condiment there is. I could pour it over everything. In fact, I'd be happy just to order a bowl of white sauce & put some rice in that! Yum! Of course, there's always leftovers when eating Japanese, so I asked for a small container to put my white sauce in for later. They gave me a bowl, which Laurie happily filled up for me! Thanks, Laurie!
Hubby took me to a fancy dinner where he ordered the largest prime rib I've ever seen! 30 ounces!!! I was shocked when they brought it out to the table!
This picture really doesn't do it justice! It was enormous! Brian was very embarrassed when I took out my camera & started taking pics of his plate at this 5 star restaurant! But that's what he gets for ordering such a massive entree. Plus, he ought to know well enough by now that if I see something ridiculous, I'm going to take a picture.
I also got a dozen roses from Hubby. Aren't they pretty?
Since my birthday fell in the middle of the week, my parents decided to come the Sunday prior to "celebrate" my birthday. Mom baked a cake & I opened presents, etc. I was relieved that she didn't try to put 32 candles on there.
Brian was taking pics with my camera during the festivities. Of course, no one was ready to take a picture when I actually blew out the candles, so this is a re-enactment.
Here's another pic Hubby took during the party. My dad always does this to me & since Hubby is becoming more and more like my father all the time, he felt the need to do it too. And thought it was the funniest thing ever!
I got lots of nice things for my birthday; gift cards to Ann Taylor & Books-a-Million, a shirt from my friend Missy, & a book from my brother. When I opened the book (which came via USPS), I laughed out loud! I can't wait to start reading it!
Thanks to everyone who helped me have a great birthday! I'm so blessed to have great friends & family like you!
