9 days and counting...

So we have 9 days to go before our due date...little Brodie continues to be active and I think he's ready to come. We're ready for him to come! Everything is ready, my last day of work was Friday, and the nursery is ready. Ross has described this time as the anticipation of waiting to open Christmas presents...only we don't know when Christmas is!

New Year's Day Surfing

31 Days to go!!

Merry Christmas

I (Elizabeth) have taken over posting to our blog so you can see pictures of our little boy when he arrives. We hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

We're Back

We haven't posted in awhile–we found out the hard way our camera wasn't waterproof. So we got a new one. Here's some shots of us, guess what, surfing. It was a pretty small day, but fun nevertheless. Elizabeth's getting quite good at it. We've pretty much got a routine down–work and surf. An average Saturday or Sunday is us getting to the beach mid morning, surfing for a few hours, coming in and eating lunch, then going out and surfing for a few more hours. Oh yeah, then crashing at about 9 PM. Fourth of July was CRAZY. People literally parked like 5 miles from the beach and walked. We lucked into a close spot. Look for our next post, you'll see what a wetsuit tan line looks like. It's pretty embarrassing.

Two daze in Texas

Well we finally made it back to Texas. After a 5 hour flight delay and a bumpy flight, we arrived in warm and humid DFW at about 3am. We slept for a couple of hours and then began the race to see as many family and friends as possible. All the while, taking part in a good friend's wedding—Tim Tam that is. Here's Elizabeth and I with a former coworker and spouse at the rehearsal dinner. Family, friends and the wedding were all good. Shrek 3, however, wasn't. Don't waste the cash. Elizabeth got some good time with her old roomies and me with my Mom. Saw some friends at church and BAM! we're back on a plane to San Diego and surfing a few hours later. On a sad note, my ribs have been hurting really bad and I haven't been able to surf for what feels like an eternity. And Elizabeth gashed her hands open after she beached (and extensively dinged) the longboard. She'll be back in the water in no time.

Wheels Off

So we had our first visitor from Texas—Nathan Wheeler, our good friend who hails from the United States of Canadia, eh. We just kind of hung out for the time he was here and introduced him to a couple of staples in San Diego. Those being fish tacos from South Beach Bar and Grille (amazing by the way) and In-N-Out Burger (equally as amazing). We also surfed a little bit. Being from Canadia means either you are impervious to cold or just plain crazy as Nathan went without a wetsuit in the 58 degree water. The first day was a little rough as I paddled out only to look back and see that Nathan had been washed about a quarter-mile down shore. Day two was much more successful with Nathan surfing like it was second nature. And he earned some respect from the locals by going suitless.
