Santa Rosa

Most of the Sims crew got to escape to the beach last week.  It was WONDERFUL!! We were missing a key part though- the baby sister! We really did miss her a lot, and hope that next year we can ALL go. :) We stayed in Santa Rosa, FL. and it was very secluded and private- which we loved.  I did not see one trace of oil, but the seaweed was bad.  I am not complaining though; the water was still beautiful! Mainly we just cooked in the condo and relaxed.  You know you are getting older when reading all day and going to bed before 10:30 is fun. 

When Josh and I started dating, he "hated" the beach, and said he would never vacation there.  Funny how things change! I told him that bachelor parties don't count as relaxing beach vacations.  I think he almost loves the beach as much as me now- Thank goodness!  

We got back to Oxford and had such a fun weekend with friends.  Aimee and Ronnie Wade came to stay for a wedding, and it just made us wish so much that they lived closer!!!! Maybe one day...  Also, we went to dinner Sat. night with some couples here and had a great time.  We are so thankful to be finding great, new friends in Oxford.  

Ok, here are some pics from the beach:

It is hard to believe we have been married 4 months!

Mom stole my moo moo and hat the whole trip to "cover herself."  

This is what the boys did a lot of the trip: Bocce Ball.  We had a little Sims vs. Sims vs. Whelans... It's not important who won :)
