Home Sweet Home

Ahh... the good ole USA! After my work announced a sales conference in Las Vegas for early December, John and I decided to make a trip out of it! We did Vegas...

I did Chicago with my college gurls....

John did Jackson with his bro-dawgs....but he's a dude and didn't take any pics. 

And then we both did Nashville (and the surrounding areas)!

We saw allll of our family and friends (from across the country!), met our friends' new precious baby...and ate and drank A LOT. We (I) probably gained 20 pounds alone in mexican food. It was especially nice to be home for Christmas! Christmas is just meant to be celebrated in cold weather, am I right?  As nice as it was being home for the holidays, we were both looking forward to getting back to Sydney summer and reuniting with our dearest Rudy... who turned two while we were away. He's the cutest dog in the world.
