Camping...Eldridge style :)

So around 9:45 last night, James got really excited and said we should go camping! I, of course got really excited and said, "Yeah let's do it!" James started looking online for nearby places to go camping and then I realized, "Do we have tents, sleeping bags, stuff to make a fire?" But according to James, you don't need ANY of those things to go camping. He found a place online, we found a sleeping bag in our closet, packed some goodies and drove about an hour up this canyon to go camping! I have to admit, the drive up there, I kept thinking, what are we doing - we don't even have a tent! I like to camp....with tents and air mattresses and sometimes even a microwave plugged into a lovely outlet at a nice camp site.

We drove around for a while and finally found this awesome little place right next to a creek. We laid out a blanket, then our sleeping bag, ate some yummy treats, laughed hysterically and fell asleep. Before we fell asleep, I thought "This isn't so bad. It's kind of fun sleeping outside with nothing over your head."

Around 5:00 this morning, I woke up and there were light raindrops bouncing off my face. Of course I thought, "Oh no, it's raining, we have to go home!" I nudged James and said, "it's raining!" He said, "Let's see if it stops." So we laid there - me totally under the water proof sleeping bag trying to not touch the wet blanket outside of the sleeping bag and James just laying there letting the rain bounce off his face. All of a sudden, the rain picked up really fast and then lightning struck, the thunder boomed and we were done. We quickly gathered up our stuff, ran back to the car and were home around 7:30!

A little bit of paradise...

Alright, pictures are coming slowly but here is a look at our Honeymoon :) Sorry, I posted a lot - but isn't that what blogs are for?

We went on this "Tulum Adventure". We did a zipline in the jungle, rapelled into a cave, snorkeled in a cave, and went to the ruins of the ancient Mayan city, Tulum. Here I am flying through the jungle! Yes, I screamed the whole time :)
Here's James rapelling - so hot, I know.

This was the cave we snorkeled in. It was awesome!

A little view of our resort...sorry don't mean to brag, but it was beautiful!

We saw iguanas everywhere! James discovered they liked Cheese Itz.

At Tulum...

Jennifer and Candice :)

Oh and it's also my little sister and favorite cousin's birthdays today! Happy Birthday - love you both!

Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge

Yes, it's true. We are now Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge. Has a nice little ring to it huh?

Our wedding was awesome. The whole day was perfect. It was a tiny bit hot (93 degrees) but it still was so fun! It was fun to take pictures and to kiss as newlyweds. Our reception that night was awesome. Some people say standing in a line greeting everyone is boring...but it wasn't too bad...and to watch that present pile grow - it was all worth it :) We ended the night with a stompin' dance performance by James and I and then a dance party!

We spent a week in Riveria Maya - just south of Cancun. It was awesome! Beautiful beaches and all you can eat - it was bliss.

Just last Saturday we had our second reception in James's parents backyard. It was beautiful! And it was great to see and meet lots of family/friends.

We have amazing families and friends who always seem to go above and beyond what they are asked. Thank you everyone for your love and your support! We promise to post more pictures from the wedding, receptions, and honeymoon!

Are you coming?! It's our wedding!!

It's coming up! James and I are getting married this Friday! I thought you'd all like to see our awesome invitation. We'd love to see EVERYONE there! We're freaking excited and I can't wait to be married to this handsome guy in the picture. Oh...and we're totally registered at Target :)

A-mazing!

James, me, and my brother James just got back from seeing Transformers 2! Now, if you have read the reviews, ignore them and go see the movie anyway. It is awesome!! The action scenes rock, it's great to see the Autobots fight along side those hot soldiers, and Optimus Prime is just the best super hero EVER! Oh and Bumblebee is the greatest guardian! It's wonderful, I loved it! :)

Sail Away With Me...

This past weekend, James, my brother James, my cousin Kelley, and I went on a cruise to Catalina Island and to Ensenada, Mexico. It was a blast! The food was delicious and plentiful (no joke, we ate full meals every two hours), there was tons of fun activities on the ship, the weather was decent, and none of us got seasick! This is us at our "elegant" dinner - which we didn't realize how fancy it was. No joke, women were in formals and men were in tuxedos!

We rented pedal boats on Catalina Island.

We played a few mean rounds of table tennis. We rotated teams I lost all three times

I don't know? It looked cool...or maybe weird?

Walking around Mexico....it was great!

As we were leaving San Diego.....

Yeah! We were freaking stoked!
