Florida - Spring Break

For Dane's spring break we headed down to Florida for one heck of a vacation! We went down with 3 of the most fun couples ever and had a blast staying together in a condo right on the beach.

The condo we stayed at had a lakeside pool, oceanside pool, and the beach was beautiful. We learned quickly that Beck is definitely not afraid of the water, he had no problem bellyflopping in whenever he got the chance.


We spent our nights chatting, eating, watching Bryan Regan, and of course playing lots of games!
Beck spent his nights glued to baby einstein with Josh and Emily's darling little Lydia

Tuesday we went to DISNEYWORLD!!! The only proper way to describe a day at disney is MAGICAL!!!
Emily, Lydia, me, Beck, Danielle, Nichole (and Lucy)
This makes 3 trips to Disney for Beck, but this was the first time that he met any of the characters, he still doesn't get it of course but someday when he knows who Woody is he might think it's cool that he has a picture with him haha.

Still no reaction from Beck on any of the rides either. He doesn't have a clue what a great childhood we have given him so far. I just hope we make it back when he is old enough to really appreciate the joy of Disney.


Oh and don't worry my 27-year-old child Dane was able to get on almost all of the rides so he was a very happy boy. I still wouldn't have been surprised if he had come up missing one of the last days of the trip because he had snuck off for another day in Disney.



We were staying about 20 mins away from St Augustine (the nations oldest city) so we spent one of the days seeing some historical sites and doing a little shopping.


Yes we did!!
Erik, Brian, Beck, Dane, Josh


I'm not going to lie I was a little worried that after living together for a week we would all be sick of each other by the end, but not true (at least for me) I'm already brainstorming what our next group vacation could be!! I'm so glad these guys have to be our friends for at least 3 more years I'm sure this was only the beginning of many good times together!

Some of our latest favorites from Beck are:
- He toddles around saying "uh oh" all day everyday and I'm pretty sure he drops and throws things on purpose just so he can use it appropriately
- He is quite the dancer, we watched "Momma Mia" together the other day and he danced around and shook his little booty through the entire movie
- He LOVES Goldfish crackers, the other night he woke up around 11 and wouldn't go back to sleep until we gave him the entire bag of Goldfish to sleep with. He hugged the bag like it was a little stuffed animal all night long.

Winter Ball

Friday night was one of the most fun date nights me and Dane have ever had!! The medical campus at his school puts on a Winter Ball every year (for anyone lucky enough to get tickets within the 5 min. before they sell out). This year it was held at the Jefferson Hotel which is incredible, it's old, elegant, and absolutely beautiful. It was so much fun getting all dressed up and spending the night with all of our friends gambling (too bad it was fake money or we would be rich), eating, and dancing.
(Emily, Danielle, Nichole, Lauren, Me, Erin)
This is almost all of us first year wives. Good thing I love these girls cause we are stuck with eachother for the next 4 years!

(me and Emily)
Speaking of girls I love I can't tell you how much fun this cute girl is!
(Erik, Dane, Tommy)
I of course was not at all surprised that Dane wanted to spend most of the night gambling, he was glued to the roulette table, I stuck with blackjack and betting on horseraces. But there was one part of the night where Dane not only surprised me, he shocked me. We go onto the dance floor and it was just as I expected, all the other girls were looking so dang cute while they were dancing and then there was me, I was using any and every move I have ever learned from my good old dad who I think gets most of his moves from "The Chicken Dance Song". But then I look over at Dane and thats when I really felt stupid because to my dismay Dane Church can bust a move!! I can't believe that after almost 5 years of marriage I have never seen him dance before, and let me tell you he really can dance!! I guess his talents really are endless.
While Dane gambled me and my fellow sugar junkies attacked the treat table.

(me,Dane,Sara,Tommy)
Me and Dane love these two, they are a total blast to hang out with!




From the pictures it doesn't look like me and Dane spent any time together but we did and we had a ton of fun! One last highlight from the night is when me and Dane were dancing I was telling him how I was feeling a little embarrassed about my dancing and instead of saying something like "oh you look perfectly fine" Dane says "I'm sure we could find SOMEONE who looks stupider than you". hahaha I would hope so since we were dancing with a bunch of drunk people!
