Wedding In Pictures

Destination: Mexico

We. Are. Stoked.

We stopped in Gila Bend AZ for the night at the...PAY LESS INN (insert Twilight theme here). 30 bucks a night! For. good. reason.

From the toneless, expressionless, Japanime watching teenage girl at the window to the sweltering hot room (mercifully we could control the a.c.) to the bathroom we held our breath in, to the floor we let nothing touch including our bare feet, the Payless Inn held nothing back in their effort to impress, but this just proved to be too much:

The glued together jigsaw puzzle held up by thumb tacks hanging on the wall.

(notice the missing pieces)

So after bidding the Payless Inn a fond farewell we continued our journey, all the while listening to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

(Fact: The day before we had to leave He says, "I'm sad to leave but I have to admit I'm a little bit excited to listen to Harry Potter again."

Me: "ME. TOO!")

And then we arrived. And I snapped this picture while standing on our front porch.

And so the week was filled with beach time, amazing food, relaxation, possibly a midnight skinny dip and no one on the beach for miles.

Best.

Honeymoon.

Ever.

Adios Puerto Penasco!

We love you.

Greetings

Fellow readers. You like the new layout? It's still in the works so be patient.

Also.

I am aware that I have not blogged about my marriage which you are all dying to hear about.

Maybe my husband has been out of town making bank and I have been grumpy.

But he is home and school is just around the corner and wedding, honeymoon, and posts about our sunny life are coming soon. Get excited!

This Is...

Jeremy.
He is my brother.

And he

has just left to go to college

in Virginia.
(that's far away)

He is following his dreams

and going to play football for Southern Virginia University.

He is one of the best men I know.
He can charm anyone with his smile.
Play the piano like no one I've ever heard.
Has one of the strongest testimonies.
And maybe I cried like a baby when he left.

I could not be more proud of him for taking this leap.

I love you J!
