I Heart SD

This past weekend we went to sunny San Diego for the most beautiful wedding of the century! Dan and Erin tied the knot after 8 years together (and apart in Colorado & South Bend). As you know, Dan was our best-man, Stevie was honored to be his best-man, and they are Shyla's god-parents. We LOVE Dan and Erin! They are an amazing couple and we have such good memories with them and can't wait for the future as we know there will be lots of fun to be had!

They put together awesome welcome bags for guests at the various hotels and this door-tag was included. How cute is that! They also left a onesie for Shyla that said "I heart SD"!!!
We really did party all night long! It was our first night out since Shyla came (with the exception of the premier of Blood Moon Rising that I have blanked from my memory) and we had a great time! It was such a fun wedding! Everyone had a blast!
Erin looked stunning and was glowing the whole time! Digital Dan had the biggest smile on his face and in all 11 years of our friendship I have never seen him look so comfortable! We are so happy for them both.
Stevie gave a nice best-man speech and Erin's sister, Meaghan, gave a superb maid-of-honor speech.
The bottom line is they got married and now, if I may say, Shyla is ready for a playmate!

On Monday, October 12th Stevie and I "celebrated" our 2 year anniversary! I put celebrated in quotation marks because I went to my sister's in the morning while Stevie slept and then he went to work until 11 pm. Classic.
People always say that marriage is hard. Well, at least so far, Stevie and I think it's pretty easy. We just get a long. We enjoy each other. We think the fact that we were such good friends first helps and we know that it will be just as easy for Mr. and Mrs. Digital Daniel Joseph Francisco Carrillo-Gunning-Burke III. :)

Shyla with the beautiful bride-to-be at the rehearsal! Sadly, I don't have any pictures from the wedding itself because I was having too much fun!

Shyla looked kind of like a convict in this outfit but this was the view from our balcony! A big thank-you to my parents for "taking one for the team" and going with us to take care of Shyla. We really had to twist their arm to get them there!

The hotel receptionist gave Shyla this yellow whale/dolphin/fish thing that we named "schmoo." Look at that smile!

Shyla really loved San Diego! This pic shows her looking very happy in an outfit from Aunt Kirsten and Uncle Jim. So cute!

Me and Shyla in a garden at Balboa Park. Shyla really enjoyed her time at the park because she loves to be outside and she loves to look at plants and flowers.

Shyla with Daddy in the garden! Everyone at once say, "ahhhhhhh....."

OMG!! No caption needed for this one!
