Long Time Coming...

Our Honeymoon...

We went to Siesta Key for our honeymoon. It was gorgeous down there. It's off of the Gulf Coast near Sarasota FL. We loved it so much, we want to make it a tradition to return every year. Maybe not the same time every year, but we want to make it down there every year.

Without stating the obvious, our honeymoon consisted of us sleeping in until around 11am each morning. Waking up and making our own breakfast in our condo. Getting into our bathing suits, lathering up with SPF 50 sunscreen, and heading to the beach. We would lay at the beach until around 4 every day, return to the condo, shower and get ready for dinner, then head up to Rt. 41 and find a restaurant that looked good and enticed us. We ate THE best food ever on our honeymoon. My mouth still waters when I think of the dinner we ate at Sharky's one night. It was on Venice beach. I say anyone who goes to Sarasota, HAS to fine Venice Beach and eat there. You will never be the same....steak, crab legs, fresh vegatable, mashed potatoes, corn bread...mmmmm, I am so hungry right now! Anyways, after dinner we would site see a little on the different islands, return to our pretty much private beach, set up our blanket and watch the sun set. We would walk along the shore and just enjoyed the beauty that God creates EVERY single night. It was amazing. We ended our nights with some homeade ice cream from a shop near our condo and then head to bed. It was so delightful. If I could relive any moments in my life over, it would be the ones from my vows to the end of my honeymoon. They felt like they were right from a fairytale! Here are some pics from our honeymoon:

I'm a Mrs!

Well, I was recently told I never blog anymore by a friend who apparently wasn't aware I just finished building a house, planning a wedding, and getting married, then a honeymoon. It takes a little bit of time to do all that....so here I am...blogging...and all those things are done.

My wedding was beautiful. Everything worked out so perfectly. It was so smooth, I wasn't nervous at all, except for the fact that a bunch of people I didn't really know were about to stare at me for about 1 minute straight as I walked down the aisle in a big dress!!! My groom was standing at the end of the aisle, huge smile and looking so fine. I just wanted it to be vow time, forget the words before and the words after, I don't even know how much I actually heard. I just kept staring at Anthony, and grinning and mesmorized by my soon to be husband. We mouthed things back and forth, it was everything I could have ever imagined and more. Everyone who took part in our wedding we were so thankful for. They all made it the special day that it was. The reception looked beautiful and was so much fun, though I didn't get to dance as much as I would have liked because my headache was screaming for me to stop bouncing around....when we got home Anthony and I decided we would open the presents and cards first. Anthony got into shorts and a tshirt, and I decided I wanted to keep my dress on for a little while longer. I plopped down in the center of our great room and Anthony passed me cards and presents and we both had so much fun! I wish I had a picture of that moment. We had brunch with his family on Sunday morning and finished at his old house packing and cleaning. Monday morning we got to leave for our honeymoon. We went to Siesta Key in Florida. It was gorgeous there. The water was so blue-green. The sand was white and felt like baby powder. It was so wonderful. We slept in everyday and went to the beach and layed around. We ate like kings and queens! It was the most amazing time of my life, and I got to spend it with the most amazing person in my life. I don't have any pics of my honeymoon just yet on this computer, but I'll post those later. For now, here are a few of my wedding....courtesy of everyone whose already posted before me...

I am so in love!
