Oh the Bubbies!

This video is especially for Niki, but I found this video on Jeff's phone from Christmas time when they came out and it is adorable of 3 of our niece's and nephews!

Of course, the star of the video: Camille-Beal(however we spell her nickname) :)

We are lucky to have such cuties to love!!

Back to School?

The summer is almost over and I cannot believe how fast it went! My friends are all getting ready to go back to school and I have to admit I'm bummed I'm not getting back to school supplies and I will miss going to classes and all those afternoon naps! There is something so comforting about school, the routine of it all, but now I have to step away from the comfort zone and into the "real world."

It's amazing to me to look at where Jeff and I started, I don't think we ever realistically saw each other in full time jobs and actually making real life decisions. Our first phone conversation, almost 6 years ago now lasted for 3 hours and we talked in detail about the island we would live on after we had won the lottery and the plane we would have brought so we could visit anytime we wanted. The future sounded so easy!

The past couple of weeks for us we have both gone on business trips, which is very different to travel without one another and it's bittersweet to know these trips are hard now, but will only be routine in the future. For now we will have to appreciate the time we are together, even if it's not what we want or on the island we won after winning the lottery.

Last week we received our wedding photos and video. The video is beautiful and yes you all look great! Although my wonderful, beautiful, adorable flower girls are the stars of the whole thing! I will be getting the negatives in the upcoming weeks, so for now you can see a highlight slideshow of the photos.

Honeymoon

Finally I am getting around to blogging about our honeymoon! It was wonderful, we spent 10 glorious days at the Sandals Resort, Whitehouse in beautiful Jamaica :) Our days were spent lounging by the pool or beach for a few hours, enjoying the daily thunderstorms that lasted no more than an hour and then dressing up and going to a nice restaurant in the evening. One night we got a candlelight dinner on the beach, which was amazing. We also got to go on the zipline canopy, which was very exciting for me, terrifying for Jeff (he was glad he did it though). It was a trip just what we needed after over 10 months of life keeping us busy.

As of now, we are enjoying being married. I start my new job in a month, Jeff is back to his busy work schedule and we are swallowing our prides and moving back in with good ole' mom and dad. As newlyweds?! Why yes, isn't that what your supposed to do?! We want to save for a house and the only way we can afford to live in the beautiful city we currently live in, we must save for a down payment and that means, mom and dad don't start turning my room into a gym quite yet!

I think we are in for some very interesting adventures over the coming months! I can't believe it's August already, next thing we know the holidays are just around the corner!

It was very humid, so we look sweaty in almost every picture!!

We are off to Jamaica!! See you in 10 days!

The last details....

Well, it's finally happening!! The family has begun to arrive and the ridiculous tiny details are now taking place. Jeff even made our appointment for our marriage license for next week! (This was one of his maybe 3 duties for the past 10 months)

Niki comes tonight as well as some other family this weekend! Jeff and I plan to have a relaxing last weekend as an unmarried couple, hoping to see fireworks on the 4th. :)

We can't wait to see many of you next week!! 8 days :)

Thanks for all the support over the past several months!

Then...(October 2004)

....To now :)

Countdown!

There are 20 days until our big day!!! Can't believe it! We have pretty much everything all set and now it's down to the little details!

Bridal Shower

Last weekend my bridesmaids threw me a wonderful bridal shower! I could not ask for better girlfriends and they made the day so great! We had lots of family and friends come and even a "surprise" appearance from Jeff and my dad as well as my future dad-in-law :) My mom helped the girls with a travel theme and the decorations were so cute! I think my favorite part were the anticipated bundt cake dessert! Delicious, of course! We had a lemon cake and a white chocolate raspberry.

Thanks to everyone who made my shower so special. I cannot wait to see everyone in 27 days!!!
