So... A lot of fun things took place between our wedding in September and signing papers for our house in January. I will fill in the gaps with all our exciting events.
I was so happy to still be in town for our annual Heiser family get together. Since our families continue to grow it makes it hard for us to all get together for the holidays. So a couple years ago my Grandmom Heiser decided to plan a family get together that would be the first weekend of October every year. It is so nice to all be together! I am the only one that lives out of state now so I hope that I will be able to make it back for this event every year! I really cherish this time together and I sure know Grandmom does too!
The weekend of October 9th we went to Oklahoma for the Scuderi wedding. It was fun to go to Oklahoma for their weekend long event! Their wedding was so beautiful! It was very country, which I loved! It was so fun planning our weddings at the same time. Chelsea and I were always sharing ideas and comparing notes. I look forward to sharing other milestones and creating lots more wonderful memories with the Scuderi's.
I wanted to do something fun with Jake and Jayden before I moved. So my mom and I brought them to Tanaka Farms in Irvine. It is such a fun and entertaining day when I get to be with my adorable nephews. They always keep us laughing! I sure miss these little guys so much!

We made the long drive home for Thanksgiving. It was so nice to be back and spend the holiday with family. The last couple years the O'Malley's have joined our family for Thanksgiving. It is so nice that we can all be together! It was crazy to think that a year ago Thanksgiving day Morgan proposed to me. That was definitely a Thanksgiving I will never forget!

So while we were home for Thanksgiving the Conners told us some very exciting news! They were expecting a BABY! We are so very excited for them! It has been so fun watching Kym's belly grow. She looks so adorable! We can't wait to meet "Baby C" in July!!!
Thanksgiving weekend we spent one day in San Diego with Jake and Jayden fishing with Josh and Uncle Joe. It was a really fun day! Josh bought the boys each their own fishing pole. They liked casting the line more than they liked waiting for a fish to bite. My Uncle Joe has all the fishing equipment and loves to fish, so it was so nice that he was able to join us. He had lots of patience with the boys and was so good with trying to teach them how to fish. While we were down there we were also able to have a nice lunch with my Grandmom and Joel. It was such a nice day!

We made the long drive home for Christmas too. This time the drive was a little more treacherous because of the weather. But we made it safe and sound! This time we were back for about 2 weeks. It was so nice to be back and spend time with family and friends. We were back in time to celebrate my 28th birthday with everyone. We had a LRC party at my parents house. It was a lot of fun! We played the final round with $5 bills, and let me just say... it was a VERY exciting round! And to make it even more exciting, Morgan was the big winner!
Christmas Eve was spent at the O'Malley's. We had a very nice dinner and my parents joined us too. There was definitely a certain spark though that was missing. And that was Pat. We were all able to skyp him in China and that was sure fun! But we all missed having him there with us to celebrate the Holidays!
Christmas day was very busy, but a ton of fun! We started the morning off at the O'Malley's for breakfast. Then our next stop was in San Diego at my Grandmom Heiser's house for lunch. Then off to pick up my Nana to then head to Auntie Kim and Steve's house for dinner. It was a wonderfully fun-filled day! We are so blessed!
The following day we were off to Mammoth with the O'Malley family. This was the 3rd year now that I joined them on this super fun vacation. Each year we have gone it's been quite a fun adventure! There are always fun stories and wonderful memories!
Our New Year's was very low key. After 5 fun filled days in Mammoth all Morgan and I and Molls wanted to do was just hang out and relax. We went and had a nice dinner at PF Chang's. (Morgan's favorite) Then came back to my house to watch all the New Year's Eve festivities on t.v. We were so tired we could hardly stay up till midnight. We gave each other a New Year's kiss and then we were out like a light! We had a wonderful 2010 and we have started out with a great 2011! We hope that this year continues to be a healthy and prosperous year for us and all of our family and friends!
We ended up staying in CA a couple extra days because of bad weather through the mountains. So of course I was thrilled! I wasn't going to be able to be there for Jayden's 3rd Birthday so my mom and dad and I took the boys to Prehistoric Pets to celebrate with him early. It was such a fun day! The boys just love all those crazy critters! They are so brave and love to hold anything that they were able to. They really wanted to take home a 4 ft. monitor! And they were dead serious! It was so funny! But Yah Right!!!! I don't think so!!!!!
January was a very busy month. We made one of the biggest purchases that we will ever make! We bought our first home! It was a very exciting time in our lives! It was so fun signing papers and getting the keys to our new home. We have spent the last couple months getting settled in and adding our own touches to our house. We just love our home and our wonderful neighborhood! We have met some of our neighbors and everyone has been so nice and welcoming! We can't wait to hang out and get to know them once the weather starts warming up!

And then there was Super Bowl!!!! And let me just say this was a huge event for the Green Bay Packer loving O'Malley family! All the games leading up to the BIG game were nail biters, and not only for Morgan but for me too because he would be in the worst mood if they lost! The O'Malley's have a Super Bowl party every year so we flew home for it especially because the Packers were in it. It was a lot of fun! Lots of good food and drinks (and just a very good excuse to come home and be with family & friends!) ! And oh yah... The Packers WON!!!!!
It was our first Valentine's Day as Mr. & Mrs. O'Malley. The last 5 months as newlyweds have been so amazing! I am so lucky to be married to such a wonderful, loving, fun guy!
"Morgan, You're the BEST! I love you so much!"
He made filet mignon, creamed spinach, and Fleming's potatoes. It was so yummy!!!!
So... That's all of our fun and exciting events that took place between our wedding and the purchase of our new home! (And then some!)
