Welcome Baby Joshua!

I’ve been holding off on writing a post about Megan and her new bundle of joy, since Baby Joshua decided to arrive earlier than planned. But now that everyone is doing great, I thought it was about time I did a post on my best friend, and her beautiful new baby! Joshua Raymond Holston arrived 2 weeks and 1 day ago, and he couldn’t be cuter!

Megan and Joshua (and Ray!) had a little bit of a rough time, but it seems like Joshua is thriving, Megan is back to her old self and Ray can finally take a breath!

I’m so excited for them, and I love being Auntie Erin B. I got to hold Joshua for the first time over the weekend, he is so precious, I just didn’t want to let him go!

The newest little man in my life!

The Denmarkian Chick is Coming!

When Christine booked her flight to come to the US for a month this summer, it seemed so far away. Now she will be here in less than ten days, I can hardly contain myself!

This photo was taken of us the summer after we graduated from college. SO much has changed since then, it’s like we’re hardly even the same people anymore.


I moved from the ‘oh -so-fabulous’ Federal Hill down to SoMD, got a dog, bought a house, started two new jobs (three if you count that sketchy mortgage company that never made it onto my resume) and got married.


Christine moved to Denmark, started her graduate degree, met a cute blonde boy, moved into a larger apartment and had baby Oscar.


Oh, and I’m pretty sure we both look much different than in this photo. I for one, now have blonde hair again. Looking back, not sure why I ever thought it was a good idea to dye it dark…guess my mom was right on that one.


See, I just summed up three years into three sentences!


It’s amazing how much can happen in just three short years. Can’t wait to see what fun things this summer will bring!

Ocean City & Eric Church

I had every intention of updating after my trip to OC two weeks ago, but somehow I found myself extremely under the weather (as in 2 weeks and 2 doctor visits later I’m still only back to about 75%).

So, Ocean City. Hope, Shelly and I headed to Ocean City for some Memorial Day fun. The drive down Sunday morning was fine and we made great time. We checked into our hotel without any big issues (if exclude the fact that we had to request another room b/c our first room had the distinct smell of illegal activities…) The beach on Sunday was great. We had perfect weather and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon laying in the sun. Sunday night however, was a disaster. We started out at Fishtales, which was great. That was until the bar started getting really crowded and they had to take our stools away. We decided that was our cue to leave, so we headed down to MR Ducks. Shelly had never done a ‘chug-a-duck’ before, so we couldn’t possibly let her leave w/o doing it. I’m not sure she loved it quite as much as Hope and I thought, but hey, now she can say she’s done it! From there we attempted to take the bus up to Seacrets. What a disaster. The bus was jam packed with high school seniors. Apparently senior week is early this year….like an hour and a half later we finally arrived at Seacrets to find a line with about 500 people in it. I’ve never seen a line like that at any bar, ever. By this point it was about 12am and we decided to call it a night. It only took us another 45 minutes on the bus to get to our hotel. We had enough of over crowded OC, so we left around 12 noon and I pulled into my driveway at 6pm. I don’t think I’ll be doing an OC trip on a holiday again anytime soon!

Matt and I went to see Eric Church last Saturday night at St. Leonard Fire House. Although I was already sick, I had bought the tickets a long time ago, and I love Eric Church, so we decided to go anyhow. Not sure it was the best idea (especially considering I got progressively sicker for the next 4 days after the concert) but despite all, it was still a lot of fun! I really loved the venue. It was small, so “lawn seats” were still close enough to the stage that I could see everything. It wasn’t super crowded, and we parked just far enough away that we didn’t catch any traffic heading home. Eric Church put on a great show and it was a really run date night with my hubby! Can’t wait to go back and see Luke Bryan in a few weeks!
