We’re Home!

After a long and relaxing honeymoon on the streets and sand of Los Cabos, we are home! It was a fantastic trip and we cannot wait until our next adventure!

It is nice to be home in more comfortable weather. Heather and I have talked about how much we liked Cabo and both decided that it isn't really the place for us. We think we could have probably spent four or five days there and been satisfied with our stay. There just isn't a ton of things to do there without a lot of money at hand. This all being said, we did have a really fun time and it was probably a good thing that we didn't have a ton to do, as we really did need to relax for once. Our dream destination is Europe. However, if we did that we would never sleep and always be on the move because there is so much to see and learn! So, Cabo was and is a good honeymoon destination (just maybe not for 11 days).

Having had some time to adjust to this new life and reflect on our big day, we are very much enjoying this married thing. It is a wonderful thing to know that I will be spending the rest of my life with the love of my life and best friend! We get along (right now;)) famously, and love spending time with one another. I know, I know. This doesn't last. But, while we're still in our "honeymoon" mindset, we are living it up!

Our wedding was fantastic! We had such an enjoyable and memorable time; seeing everyone together was a real treat and a day we will never forget. We felt that everything went off without a hitch. A special shout out to everyone that helped in the long process. The "mom's" were priceless in the process, always wanting to help and helping things go smoother. Amanda Hansen at Dance Street Ballroom knocked our socks off. She had everything set and good to go and provided a fantastic venue for the reception. She even gave us dance lessons for free so that I wouldn't look dumb! Shannon at Puttin' on the Ritz put all of the food options together and provided a wonderful and competent staff. Reading some reviews online, they seemed mediocre at best and I was incredibly surprised. Don't be fooled! Shannon was FANTASTIC to work with and the food was delectable. Esther at Special Touch Florist created a beautiful bouquet for Heather and an arrangement that went around the unity candle. Like the former two, she was great to work with. We recommend these three people and their businesses without reservation and would be happy to give you their info if you are interested.

As for the last two days, Heather and I have been organizing all of the fantastic gifts that everyone gave us. We feel so blessed to have people that seem to be able to read our minds so well. That was the exact blender we wanted!!!! J Heather is working (hard) to make the name change with all of the vast businesses and government offices. Talk about a pain in the butt! But, she insistedJ

Again, thank you everyone for your kindness and support. We truly feel that we are surrounded by the most caring and kind people. God has touched us in so many ways, and we are reminded of this every day. (It's good to see the doggy's tooJ)
