A Time to Remember

This past Sunday, August 1st was a very special day for Chris and I, it was our first wedding anniversary! It's hard to believe that a year and 2 days ago I was walking down the isle, we were ready to change our lives forever...

It was an amazing day, one that we will never forget. Coincidentally, we finally received all of our wedding photos/album from our big day this past Saturday, and it was a very welcomed anniversary present! The album is gorgeous, all the pictures are so stunning! Here are a couple of my favorites from the ceremony;

I felt like a princess and Chris was my prince charming of course! We couldn't have asked for better weather or a smoother experience. Everything was PERFECT!

Now exactly a year from today we left for our honeymoon in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. It was so beautiful and relaxing, we had an amazing time. We rode ATV's around the countryside, took a ride over to Nicaragua for a day for some great sight seeing, visited one of the area's most active Volcanoes, also took a hike in the rain forest and a dip in the hot springs. I wish we were heading back there again...if only we could rewind a year, but of course all good things must come to an end...until our next much needed vacation that is. Here are some snap shots of us at the airport in Miami waiting for our connection to Costa Rica and also when we first arrived in CR;

Here's to a happy, healthy and long life together babe! :-) I love you more than words.

Sunday= Uuuggghhh!

Today is Sunday...the day I dread the most...because that means Monday morning is JUST around the corner! Uuugghhh! It's going to be an especially tough Monday because due to Mother Nature's Blizzard of 2010 that hit the Northeast this week, we were let out of work early on Thursday and the office was closed on Friday! It was SWEET at the time, but now I'm dreading tomorrow. I know it's going to be crazy...one of those days where I never get to sit down!! The only good thing about that, is the day will fly by (hopefully)!

On a good note, I was able to meet up with some great friends this afternoon for Sunday Brunch (one of whom is a blogger too, check it out here)! We met at this nice spot on 5th Ave in Park Slope Bklyn. The name is Sidecar and they have a good brunch menu, a little bit of everything to satisfy all!

I also wanted to share a LO that I created of Chris and I when we were headed to Costa Rica for our Honeymoon. Most of the supplies I used were from the Passport Collection by Making Memories. I love this kit because the colors and the prints coordinate so well for a travel themed album! This LO measures 8"x8".

Lately I've been trying to reorganize my scrap space! It's so exciting but definitely A LOT of work! I'm happy with the progress I've made, but still have a lot more to do until it's right! I will definitely post pictures once it's done so check back soon! :-)

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!

Back in Town!

Can you believe it?!? I'm FINALLY BACK!! It seems like forever since I posted on here (well it's been 4 months...so forever sounds about right :-/)...but everything got so hectic in May once my "hubby" came back from the Marines (I still can't get used to referring to him as my husband...It makes me feel so old! haha.

So just a quick recap of all that happened while I was away...

Chris landed a job 3 days out of the Marine Corps (Hallelujah!)and we moved in together at the beginning of June. It was definitely exciting, but a bit of an adjustment, especially if you've never lived with the opposite sex before! Usually they just don't do things the way you're used to, but that's all part of life and what makes the whole experience so interesting and fun!

Anyway...back to the topic at hand, we had our wedding on August 1st and it was AMAZING!! We couldn't have wished for better weather, it was sunny and warm, but not humid, it was just right! All of our closest family and friends were there to help share the day with us and everything went off without a hitch! We are both so happy that everything worked out and we have so many wonderful memories to share forever! Also, our honeymoon in Costa Rica was sooo relaxing and beautiful!! I took TONS of pictures because I couldn't resist the beautiful scenery over there! I can't wait to share some pictures with all of you...but bare with me, because i'm a little slow getting back into the swing of things.

First on my "To Do List" is to try to catch up with all of my blogging, or lack there of! I miss sitting down and taking time to express my thoughts/feelings and I REALLY miss letting those creative juices flow!!! So like I said, bare with me...and I will get there. Also, on a very happy note...today I subscribed to the Studio Calico monthly scrapbooking kits and I can't WAIT until I get the first one!! I hope it gets here really really fast! Do any of you subscribe to Studio Calico already?? If so, what are your thoughts on them??

Well it feels good to be back and I look forward to posting a lot more and sharing all of my recent events with you soon, so check back often!
