First Time Aunt and Uncle / Spring Break Festivites

Greg and I had an amazing week! This is the first time, in the longest time, we got to spend 7 consecutive days together! It all started last Thursday when our nephew was born, and we went to Virginia for a long weekend. Kevin and Selby are now the proud parents of one of the most adorable red heads we know, Jack! We had a great visit with all of them!

During the week Greg was in Columbus with me because he's on spring break! We got soo much done! First off we bought our wedding bands! Super excited about this one! It was one of those "you'll know when it's the one" kind of things. Our good friend, Kyle, works at Jared's and helped us pick both our rings. Very nice knowing we were working with a friend.
We did a few other odd and end things. We decided on the paper for the invitations and how we will print them. Lots of work, but I've had lots of offers for help. And we looked at excursions to do on the cruise. I also applied for my very first passport. This could have been horrible, but the women helping us was so nice, and told us that within the year I can have my name changed on it for free! So nice! Before, they made you pay to have a name change if it wasn't expired. And lastly, we looked at some bigger apartments in the same complex I'm in now. So...probably definitely getting a two bedroom now! (Just so everyone can visit of course...or maybe so we don't kill each other in my 569sq ft. apartment.)

Definitely could not have asked for a better week! Spending all that time with Greg was so nice, and makes us sad to have to wait 141 more days to say "We Do." And I wanted to wait until 2012...yeah right!

Honeymoon!!

Today we officially booked our honeymoon!! Or...Greg did. I'm leaving most of this up to him. We used Nancy's travel agent...or cruise agent. And she was very helpful. I've never been on a cruise so was nervous at first, but think this will be a very fun week!
We leave Saturday for Orlando, and the cruise leaves from Port Canaveral on Sunday, August 14! We will be sailing for 7 nights and making stops in: CoCoCay, St. Thomas, and St. Martin!! (I have provided pictures of each location in this order!) We will be traveling on Freedom of the Seas through Royal Caribbean! Too exciting! And very relieving to have yet another huge decision checked off the list!

My MOH has also started a lot of planning for a shower in Cleveland! I don't know a lot of details yet, but I know it will be a wonderful day! 5 months to go, and everything is getting so close and so REAL! 161 Days! <3
