A Lovely Life

We had a fabulous time in Grenada! How can you not, though? The weather was great even though they had just started their rainy season, the island was beautiful and rich in history and the people were absolutely lovely. This was a trip that didn't necessarily meet our expectations (we wanted LOTS of beach), but it also gave us some pleasant surprises. I've learned that being flexible on vacation can lead to some great things! Grenada isn't a big country and there's literally one U.S. flight that arrives to the island per day so we started and ended our trip with 7+ hour layovers in the beautiful Miami Airport. *thank GOD for the admirals club!* We had a great, relaxing first few days where we lounged by the pool and drank and ate all we wanted! Gotta love an all inclusive. On day 4, the air conditioner in our room went kaput and we were upgraded to the most amazing room we've ever stayed in!! Fourth floor with a separate bedroom and infinity pool on the b...

We just got back from an awesome holiday in the lovely country of Grenada.  We're currently experiencing "back to reality depression" as we're back to the real world of laundry, work and all of those other "grown up" things we're supposed to do. I'm going to do my best to do a few blog posts about our 11 day adventure complete with pictures!  I've got just over 1,000 to sift through, so bare with me. Here are some highlights though: - After 3 days of a broken air conditioner, we were upgraded to an absolutely GORGEOUS room complete with infinity pool.  On the 4th floor.  They aren't joking around at Sandals La Source Grenada! - We had another fabulous sail boat charter.  It was just J, myself and the 2 crew members on a beautiful boat called the Timshell.   - Grenada is so rich in history and we learned all about it on a day long tour of the entire island!  I'm talking rum distillery tours, waterfalls in the rain forest, fruit g...

Thanks for hanging out during this fun 10 Day YOU "Challenge".  This is the last day:   ONE Picture This was taken on our engagement trip to Jamaica in December of 2011.  It was the last night of this whirlwind adventure and I remember being so over the moon excited for what our future held!  If you're reading this, we should be in paradise currently.  Still as excited as ever.  Still filled with excitement about our future...we just happen to share the same last name now.   Stay tuned for pictures when we return!!

You and Me by Dave Matthews Our song.  The one that seemed to play the entire Summer we first started dating.  5 years ago this July.  Our wedding song.  Perfection. Fancy by Iggy Azalea My official Summer song for 2014.  It makes me wanna turn it up and dance!

1.   Cinderella.  Not sure you can call that a film, but dear GOD I love that freaking movie.  The Disney one of course.  Glass slippers, ball gowns, pumpkin carriages, mice friends...  When, I list that stuff out it sounds quite weird.  Either way, I LOVE a good fairy tale and this has been my favorite since about 4.  It was THE movie that I watched over and over and over again as a little one. 2.   Legends of the Fall.   It's a long one, but worth it.  This is one of those movies that takes you on a journey.  I loved the dynamic way all of the characters evolve. 3.   Napolean Dynamite.  Not really Oscar worthy, but one of those stupid cult classics that I just think is great.  A movie with no cursing and no sex is rare nowadays.  I also happen to be able to recite half the lines from it...
