Honeymoon Slideshow from San Diego & Phoenix

Our honeymoon in San Diego! Togetherness!

We went to San Diego for our honeymoon. Yes - we went to Montreal, but set aside this time in August to go for a longer period of time and spend some real 1:1 time enjoying eachother. We have decided to make this annual - so this is our first annual honeymoon!

"Walking in our Woods - together"

We woke up to enjoy the outdoors in our back yard... with Steve's "Happy Birthday" snowshoes that I just couldn't wait to give to him. I want to enjoy him every minute and when out in the woods, I just want him with me! Schuyler has a pair too and next time he is coming!

Cutting our first Christmas Tree

Off toward Palmer on 181 - just outside of Belchertown, we found this little Tree farm and stopped to search for a tall tree. They didn't have much, but we looked around... There was a note on the door saying they were not home and could not assist us because of an emergency. We were in a hurry to get Schuyler to school so it was just right.... Schuyler was a little chilly, thrilled to be there with us, but cold - so he stayed in the truck as we looked some more.... We traveled down the road to another place that Steve remembered but they were not open, they were on their way out and let us know they were closed Mon - Thursday.

So we went back to the farm, and this very nice man showed up - he used to own the farm and was stopping in to check in. A very nice man - - we talked a little bit and then eyed our tree - - both of saw the same tree - - but as we got closer it was a little small... we walked around a little more, others were just a little bigger, but not so full. So we went back to our tree.... cut it and picked out a beautiful wreath on the way home too.

Looking forward to our first Christmas together... happy, family, and in love....

One in a Million

How did I get here, I turned around
And there you were
I didn't think twice or rationalize
Cause somehow I knew
That there was more than just chemistry
I mean I knew you were kind of into me
But I figured it's too
Good to be true

I said pinch me where's the catch this time
Can't find a single cloud in the sky
Help me before I get used to this guy

(chorus) They say that good things take time
But really great things happen in the blink of an eye
Thought the chances to meet somebody like you were a million to one
I cannot believe it, (whoa oh)
You're one in a million

All this time I was looking for love
Trying to make things work
They weren't good enough
Til I thought I'm through
Said I'm done
Then stumbled into the arms of the one

You're making me laugh about the silliest stuff
Say that I'm your diamond in the rough
When I'm mad at you
You come with your velvet touch
Can't believe that I'm so lucky
I have never felt so happy
Every time I see that sparkle in your eyes

- song by Hannah Montana - another great one! This song says a lot!
