Vacations

Highbourne Cay 2016

B and I have traveled A LOT together. We have been together for almost 7.5 year, of which we have been married ALMOST 4 years.   In that time we have been many places- some better than others! 

We are very fortunate that almost yearly we take a trip on the boat to the Bahamas and various islands. There is nothing like being on a boat in the middle of the ocean, no land, boats or any other people in site. 

Last year was one of my favorite trips thus far.   We went to Highbourne Cay in the Exumas. The island was beautiful and the sunsets amazing.  Truly magical. 

This year we are headed to NYC for 5 days. I'm excited for the change in pace and I haven't been to NYC in YEARS. We switch off vacations to include some cities and lots of beaches. 

I will say in the 7.5 years we've been together we have been to some pretty great places - to name a few: 

London

Big Bend National Park

Washington DC

Aspen

La Jolla

Bangkok

Phuket

Cuba

Various Bahamian Islands

Delray Beach

Atlanta

We love traveling and love visiting new places. 

Long time away...

It has been over 2 years. Some things have changed, but mostly things have stayed the same.

Since it is the new year, I think I will start with a look back of 2016.



Where did you begin 2016? In Houston with B surrounded by friends at L and M's house.

What was your status by Valentine's Day?   Married!

Were you in school this year? no

What is the one thing you thought you would never do, but did, in 2016?  I never thought I would be the sole breadwinner but I was in 2016 and it was empowering and also made me see that we truly are good at budgeting! 

What has been your favorite moment? Being in Highbourne Cay walking the beach with B. We were in a place few people ever get to see and taking it all in - we were unplugged and life was good.

What was something you learned about yourself? I learned that I am a really good friend, sometimes to the detriment of myself.

Any new additions to your family? My brother had a son this year and he is amazing.

Get a new job? nope

I truly feel so blessed to have such an amazing life!!!

We got the house!

I am so excited for this new step in our lives. OUR first home together - sure we lived together in the townhouse, but B bought that place before we ever started dating - so this is OUR first house and I am so excited!

New home? Maybe?!

I know I have said it countless times - that I want to post more often - however our life is very boring (in a wonderful way)!

We hopefully will be moving soon - to a beautiful little home closer to town. At first we were looking at other townhomes and other parts of town until we found this house:

I fell in love and so did B. So we currently are in negotiations and hopefully one day it will be ours! Then I may have new things to write about!

One year

One year ago today I became a wife.

One year ago today we pledged forever.

One year ago today I thought I was at the peak of love - only to know love grows more and more each day.

In one year we have been to so many places, seen so many things and spent 365 days as husband and wife.



B,
I cannot believe it has a been a year. What an amazing year with the perfect beginning. I didn't know what this first year had in store for us, but I did know whatever it was, we would tackle it together. Thank you for truly being a wonderful husband full of love, joy and laughter. We have made it a year and have forever to go.
Forever is a long time, but I wouldn't want to do forever with anyone else.

 

 I thought I loved you the day we married and I have fallen more in love with you everyday. I love you.

PROJECT 333

For the last 6 months I have been doing my own version - 33 clothing items and using all the accessories I want. Well come April 1 I am going to attempt the entire Project 333.

These are the items representing what I will be wearing - some are the exact items and some are just variations or similar to what I own. The +1 designates that I am still going through my closet at the moment to figure out what 5 other items I want to include. I may include my suit jacket and slacks as I may need them for work during that time.

Failing on blogging

I have been failing so much on blogging these days - and I really don't know why.

Life has been great - kinda boring - but I like boring. I don't like drama, I don't like outlandish - I just like my life the way it is with the people I care about.

B and I are planning a getaway for sometime in the upcoming months to go to Utah - remember he is a Geologist and loves rocks - I love to be outdoors - so it seems like a great place for us.

Plus the last few years we have been doing a lot of fun (and expensive) traveling - London, Thailand, Cuba, Bahamas and other trips in between - so this year we are being low key (well sort of!).

I'm excited about having time with nature. I'm excited about having a good time and I am exciting about being together in a secluded place.
