There is much more to come but I wanted to share a picture from our photographer, Susan Solo with you.

You know Jordan from Southern Hospitality! She was at my wedding with her hott Date! See what she thought of the wedding!

Remember when my awesome supervisor and friend, Emily took pictures of our engagement (like the moment Dave popped down on one knee?)?? Emily was also there at the wedding, snapping pictures!

I hope you like the picture.  This is one of my faves that I have seen so far! :)

Love, the new Mrs.

Pre-Wedding getaway

 

We have been working all summer and haven't taken a break.  So, we planned a mini summer vacation to the beach!  It was nice to get away and play in the water, soak up more sun and spend some quality time, relaxing before terror-bridezilla (tee hee) took over the relationship.

We had so much fun and it was just what we needed!

 Dang, this water is COLD!

 Clearly, he does not seem to mind.

(PS. investing in a waterproof camera was the best decision I made in the recent past!)

 

Do you recognize this shirt?? Skinnie Piggie gave it to me the week before while I was in Hawaii! :)

If you missed it, here's where I got to meet her.

 I love ice cream.

The last day, we went fishing with my MAID OF HONOR, Steph and her boyfriend and brother. I'd never been on a little boat or gone fishing so it was a fun experience! 

It's 14 days until the wedding, Hurricane Irene is terrorizing the East Coast! 

That is all folks! 

Lil bits o' heaven

I love my family.

I loved Hawaii but I don't miss it as much as I miss my family...

Thank goodness they will be here in 24 days!!!

Bloggy Meet-up! Hawaii Edition

I FINALLY MET SKINNIE PIGGIE! After some failed attempts to try to meet up in Maryland, we finally got to hang out! While visiting my family, she messaged me (thank goodness for the bloggy world, really) and we scheduled our date! She drove clear across the island to come see me!

I felt like the Piggie at the restaurant because Skinnie Piggie wasn't hungry! :( It was a nice conversation. She has only been here a few months and she is already so knowledgeable about the area.  I was so impressed with her insight about where things are and what fun things there are to do.

 

We went to a local mex restaurant, it was tasty but the conversation was better.

Isn't Skinnie so pretty!?

 This contraption came with the check. At first glance, it looks like a giant calculator. 

It's a survey machine. 

We wandered our way to the beach.  

It was so hot that we parked ourselves in the water on our beach chairs.

 I was informed that Shaved ice is called "shave ice" in Hawaii.

She got Blue Hawaii and Mango.

I got Passion fruit and Guava with a snow cap. 

YUM YUM.

We had such a fun time and at the very end, Skinnie Piggie gave me an AWESOME gift that says "Marines Hawaii" YAY!!

Love love love love love it! 

:)

Thanks Skinnie Piggie for a lovely day!
