Well deserved "vacation"

I'm in O'Hare International Airport in Chicago blogging in the food court.  Thank you American Express for my free 45 minutes of internet! :)

The beach where I will be fixing my farmer's tan :)


I am off to go see my faaaamily in Honolulu, Hawaii! This is my annual trip to see my family.  Since they live on the other side of the planet, the tropical islands of Hawaii serves as half way :)  I'm especially excited this time around because my niece, Luna will be coming! I haven't seen her since she was born a year and a half ago!! I plan to spoil her rotten! :)

Additionally, I need to fix my MAJOR farmer's tan that I got on Memorial Day waiting in line to hear the President speak... it's really bad guys. It's like a 3/4 length sleeve tan... Anyway, I have an excuse to sit on the beach and fix it before I get back.

Once I get back, it will be the last part of the countdown to our wedding.  Only one month left :)

Summer is Here!!

My summer is FINALLY here!! As you may already know, I'm deep into my program as a Masters student in Social Work.  I have been taking summer classes (which makes it seem that I hide under a rock most of the time!)  I am back from the cave and can finally say that I am DONE with my summer classes and am now FREE to go to the beach, read, go to the pool, hang out with my love before the stress of the wedding hits!! I am so excited!!

Here's just a bitty preview of my awesome time that I had with my awesomely patient 

photog Susan Solo for my bridal photo shoot!

She has such an eye for this stuff!

Isn't Annapolis just beautiful?
