Key West or Bust!

Well the honeymoon is over, but my tan still remains! I also am happy to report I did indeed survive all the flying in airplanes that I did for the first time! It was definitely an experience to remember. I swear the city of Miami at night looked like it went on forever and ever! I don't know how anyone would know their way around a town of that size?! Thank goodness we just had to connect in Miami, seemed daunting to navigate.

We spent an entire wonderful and relaxing week in Key West, Florida at the Sheraton Suites across from Smathers Beach. The weather, locals, and drinks were great all week long. It was perfect timing to getaway from the cold and snow in Wisconsin and to lay on the beach in 80 degree weather. I continue to fall more and more in love with DH daily and really loved our romantic getaway to celebrate each other and our love. I'm also very happy we waited for 3 mths after the wedding to go on our honeymoon. Gave us something to look forward to and also stretched my great wedding memories out further in the year. We would love to return to Key West but are now eager to explore other corners of the USA! We also celebrated my 24th birthday while in Key West. The hubby enjoyed the ol "two birds with one stone" mantra due to the timing of our trip. I considered the rental car upgrade to a 2012 Ford Mustang convertible a satisfying enough suprise. I have lots of pictures and videos to share but will not bore you with the details unless you demand otherwise. It was a great vacation and I would encourage anyone to go! Where was your honeymoon location?

What to Pack?!

Uh oh! Time to pack! It IS 28 days away, but instead of running around like a chicken with it's head cut off a couple days before we fly out I decided we better get a jump start on packing. Which I then decided in order to know what clothes we do and don't have I better reorganize and clean out our closets. Needless to say I created a bit of a mess, but go everything under control and am in love with the newly organized, color-coded closet. How long will it last? We'll see. My parents bought us a gorgeous brown luggage set for our honeymoon to Key West! I've never even been on an airplane before (Yes, again I'm 23.) so I am so excited to see the earth from the sky!! Nervous but more excited because Im with the person that makes me feel the safest so whats to worry about?! Nothing he cannot fix with a hug and a kiss :)


Well what to pack? There are all these rules on what to bring and what not to. We might just go grocery shopping when we get there to get some supplies for the week. Some big news I have to share...Starting on our honeymoon we will no longer be using any form of birth control and will leave it up to fate. We are beyond excited to create a life and are excited to spoil a child with love and guidance for the rest of our lives. A child is a blessing whether planned or not, but in todays world I'm just so happy for my child to know how loved and wanted they are before they were even conceived. I've been taking prenatal vitamins daily (and will be for next year!) and really trying to get healthy for a baby. It's no longer my body for awhile it will be my baby's so it needs to be healthy for him or her. We get asked often if we would rather a boy or girl and honestly as long as it's healthy we do not care because we want both anyways. I'm sure we will have more than one, but you never know because I also said I would wait years to start a family after we got married and its been a few months. I change my mind like Nicki Minaj changes her hair these days. Well I'm going to go work on that packing situation a bit and I will check in later.
