SPOILED AT GRANNIE AND POPS!






Today Pete and I went to Rockwood to help finish the "Cabin" (playhouse). It has been a project for quite some time now. Mom, Pete and I went to Lowe's for Grannie to buy the supplies somewhat early this morning. Pete and Daddy worked on the cabin while Mom and I picked out wedding pictures. They built rails on the front porch, framed the windows, put up a mailbox, built steps and lined up the front door to make it funtion better. All that we need to do now is paint. We are going to paint the inside a neutral color and Mom ordered chalk board paint today for one of the walls. We also have to paint the framing around the windows and the front of the cabin. Pops bought a futon for it, so hopefully there will be many sleep overs and they have miniature chairs that will look adorable on the front porch. It is ready for lots of kids! SPOILED, SPOILED, SPOILED. Connor, Kaitlyn, Paisley and Jacalyn will love it (as well as future granchildren)!
Now, question is.... Where was Brad and my "CABIN"? We had a 2x4 wedged between two tree limbs to sit on. I can remember Brad and myself doing this when Daddy would have extra wood. It worked... but man, it would have been nice to have a whole house! Ha ha. I am very happy though that the grandkids get one at Grannie and Pops because we won't have to have one! :) Enjoy the pictures!

HONEYMOON!

Well, we are back! We got home at about 12:30 am this Sunday.
We had an absolute blast. For those of you who do not know... We were in St. Lucia, W.I. for 12 days. Man, am I spoiled! Pete treats me so well. I don't think I deserve it.
So, we did a lot. We stayed at the Sandals Grande for the first 7 days, then at the Windjammer for the last 5 days. Both were amazing in their own ways. At Sandals we had a very nice honeymoon suite and at Windjammer we had our own villa. I can't explain how nice it was. Pics to follow...
At Sandals, we had a candlelight dinner on the beach with white glove service (Pete also asked me to dance on the beach - precious), we also had a cabana for a day with lunch and champagne served to us. As far as excursions go, we went deep sea fishing and caught nothing, went ziplining in the canopy of the rainforest which was fantastic, we then went to the market in Castries (the Capitol of St. Lucia), then we went on a day cruise to the volcanos and gardens, and on a Sunset Cruise, we also went to a street jam - a local party they have in Gros Islet on friday nights with local food, music and drinks!
We met many locals and a lot of honeymooners but stayed to ourselves for the most part.
Wow, a perfect wedding, then a perfect honeymoon. When I get pics of the wedding, I will post them.
Everything was like a fantasy!
Back to reality now!
