January began with Sean's 55th birthday! Happy Birthday Sean! We celebrated with the start to our Finley family vacation in Coronado. The entire family spent two nights together in the beautiful navy base beachfront hotel!
January 1st is also a special day for Cor and I because it is the anniversary of the first day I ever saw Cor's face in 2009. It is a moment I will never forget because I was instantly hit with butterflies and the thought of "oh no this could be bad".. Which had NEVER happened to me before (and still obviously hasn't!) I felt an instant connection with him, something I thought only happened in movies. 6 years later and here we are <3
But back to our vaca:
We had a bonfire on the 1st (thankfully we were able to snag a firepit before they were all claimed)
S'mores were plentiful after three extra large pizzas!
Friday was spent on the beach until Cor got off work. Then we headed for a quick trip to the exchange and back for another bonfire.
I also got to use my new camera again in the evening and get some more practice in!! These were taken a little later than I would have liked, so the light isn't perfect... BUT practice makes perfect!
And last but not least.. My wonderful husband and I =]

And then....
Cor and Meg having a cartwheel-off! I wish I could post the videos!
Notice Ais on the right? I say she won hands down =]
Meg and Johnny.. It was nice to have Meg's longtime boyfriend, Johnny, join us this year. He's extremely helpful, pleasant, and a nice addition to our clan =]
After the bonfire, Cor, Meg, Johnny, and I went bowling... No pics though! But it was a good last night in SD!
This morning we headed to the beach and enjoyed our last hours all together until May.
The only way I can sneak a pic
It was a lovely end to a memorable two week stay in Coronado. We will all be together again in May for Meg's graduation, so thankfully we don't need to go another full year without being reunited. Although our gatherings are not frequent, each one is special. I feel very thankful to be a part of the Finley fam =]
So welcome 2015- it will be a year filled with new adventures and new goals
XO
