So, we figured that we would try to model the wonderful blogging skills of Scott and Natalie, but we've just realized that since we don't have a single child yet (not even close to 3 great kids), so there' really not that much to report that frequently... NEVERTHELESS, there is some updating to do since we tied the knot. WARNING: This is a long blog, but we hope it will catch you up and be entertained as well.
Our honeymoon was great-- we got to spend 4 days in beautiful southern California. The plane ride was awful (most of you have heard about Heather's unfortunate incident with the barf-bag), but CA was wonderful. The first day was filled with sun and the beach. Unfortunately, the SWEET Chevy Monte Carlo that we rented ended up having a faulty seatbelt and we had to spend a couple hours traveling back to a Budget Rental place for an efficient seatbelt... you know Heather-- always concerned about safety and stuff. We got hooked up with a Malibu and we were on our way!
Eric's are in the middle ;)
Saturday was our day to go all out. We had planned to fulfill an old Short Family tradition by hitting the Orange County Swapmeet. If you are a Short and you are in SoCal, it's an absolute must! Where else can you get 10 pairs of socks for $11? We spent a few hours there, enjoyed a little breakfast at IHOP, then made our way to Disneyland. What we realized is that everyone else that had been rained out on Friday had also decided to raid the magic land on Saturday so it was more than crowded. After rocking the Pirates ride and Indiana Jones, Eric had to hunt down a churro. With a churro and Coke in hand, he was ready to finish the day.
Shortly thereafter, Cameron & Alissa's wedding day was coming up and we were looking forward to a great trip to NY. Alissa's family were incredible hosts and so fun to meet! We were so taken by the landscaping of the entire neighborhood-- not to mention the beauty of all of Long Island. The wedding dinner was awesome-- Cameron's friends were great and had some great words of wisdom.... well... at least most of them did.

We had planned to hit up Disneyland on Friday and rip it up with Mickey and the Gang, but when we opened the blinds, it was pouring rain and our options in 'sunny California' had been greatly reduced-- we went and saw "Blades of Glory" instead. It was awesome!!! Luckily by night time, the rain had cleared up a little bit and Heather and I headed to Santa Monica to
do a little dinner and shopping. Wooooooooo wooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! We were both able to find a killer-sick deal on some shoes!! Heather and I were both quite content. We decided to hit up the Benihana for Heather's birthday dinner and it was really good. The night was made more eventful with the two drunk women at our table... whom after 15 minutes, asked the cook if it would take very much longer to be done cuz they had a rave to go to. Hmmm. Luckily they left, leaving plenty of elbow room for the two of us. Crazy drunk women! Thanks for the memories. (Sorry we couldn't snag pics of the drunk ladies--little obvious, ya know?)
