Vacation/Conference was great. We got into Hilton Head Thursday afternoon. Went to the beach all afternoon. Then headed out for some seafood for dinner. Friday we went to the beach all day and relaxed. Then went to San Miguel’s for some Margaritas for Happy Hour and had dinner overlooking the Marina. It was really nice and good. Saturday we just laid out at the hotel pool all day which is right on the beach basically. And for anyone who has gone to Hilton Head you know about the Tikki Hut right on the beach. It's basically a beach bar where a guy or band usually plays songs by request. So we were hanging out there in the afternoon (it is at our hotel). Saturday evening we went out to dinner to celebrate our anniversary. We went to Marley's Island Grille which was great. The atmosphere is awesome. It's like being at a place in the Bahamas. Then we went out afterwards for a little putt-putt challenge. Sunday was our anniversary and we got up and walked on the beach. Then when we got back to our room the hotel had brought us up champagne and strawberries for our anniversary and it was sitting on the bed. So that was awesome. Then we exchanged presents. I got Josh a new set of golf clubs, and he got me a personalized photo album that says "The Pattersons" on it and a coach purse I wanted, and hotel suite in Columbus for Red, White and Boom. Which I'll blog about later this week. Anyway we went to the pool/beach in the morning then left in the afternoon to go to Savannah. Since this blog is turning into a novel I'll speed the rest of the vacation up. We went to a reception for my conference Sunday night at Tybee Island Light House, and then Mon-Weds was my conference. We just went out to dinner and explored Savannah every night. Then we headed to D.C. on Thursday and were in D.C. for the remainder of the weekend. We went sightseeing, to a baseball game, the zoo, and went out to dinners. It was a great 10 day trip!!! Below are some pictures from Vacation and more on Flicker.

Josh and I spent a whole day in D.C. sightseeing. This is the new WWII Memorial they just built last year. We thought we'd get our picture next to the Ohio tribute.

This place was seriously so weird. It was like going to a place in the bayou of Louisiana. They had little alligators in a pond in the front and the place had cats everywhere. Seriously like when you were eating you would see like 3 cats around you. But the weird thing is that this place is famous and there were like a lot of higher class people there. I don’t know I’m glad we went so we could see this place but I’ll never go back.

Wow I can't believe it's been one year. That year really flew by, but I can say it was the best year of my life. They say the first year is one of the hardest and all I can say is if that was one of the hard years than I can't wait to see what the future holds. I love you Joshua!!

Well I leave work in 5 minutes to meet Josh, then it is off to the Beach. I Can't wait!!!!

Vacation Here I Come

Ok well I guess I have a lot to update everyone on since I haven't blogged in over 2 weeks. I'll go all the back to Deer Creek. We had a great time there for the weekend. We just grilled out a bunch, played some cornhole, and drank beer. We had a good Memorial day weekend too. Josh's family has a block party at their house every year so we went to that, and then we also had a cookout at our friend Matt and Jacquie's. Then actual Memorial day since it was soooooo hot, we went over to Jodie's grandparents pool all day which was really nice. We didn't do much this past weekend. Our softball game was canceled because of rain for the 3rd week in a row. We just met up with some friends and went to dinner Friday and we had a family friend's graduation party Saturday.
This Sunday is Josh and I's 1 year Anniversary. So Wednesday after work we are leaving and heading down to Hilton Head for 4 days and spending our anniversary there. Then I have a Finance Conference in Savannah next Mon-Thurs. Then we are heading up to D.C. after that to spend Father's Day with my Dad and we'll be there for 3 days. Then it is back to Ohio. So we have a nice little 10 day trip ahead of us. I can't wait!!!! I'll post some pictures when I get back.
